WWI started with rifles, ended when tanks and planes entered the war. WWII started with tanks and planes, ended when nuclear bombs entered the war. WWIII will start with nuclear bombs, will end before new weapons could be invented. WWIV will start with rocks and wooden clubs, will end when giant...

That's the point. I selectively picked these countries. I am using the numbers of "Total Cases per Million Population" and "Total Deaths per Million Population" to compare countries. In what regards is Germany doing a better job than Ireland, Canada or Romania? How about Bulgaria, Hungary and...

Yemen, Zimbabwe, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan all have done better than the countries mentioned in the article, what do all these countries have in common? See how easy it is to manipulate the result to your liking by using selective facts?

Centralized information processing system is ideal if governments cooperate fully with each other. For WHO it can't force governments to comply with its requests, so it failed this time. The next best thing is to have information gathering points all over the world. US CDC had 47 staff in China...

I still can't find toilet paper in stores. Anyone know if Scotts Paper is still operating? I know there are more important things to worry about, but is it too much to ask for some toilet paper?

Governments are just blaming on everyone else. Instead of saying what other people should have done, ask yourself what you have done. Don't try to cover your mistake with other parties' inaction. Why not prove WHO's incompetence by doing a better job here in Canada? WHO can't close countries...

Thank you for your concern. It was actually friendly discussion, talking within economics and finance. If it were a real fight, I would bring out Greta and "How dare you" appleomac to death as soon as he mentioned CRA.

CRA might know game theory, but CRA is not the player here, the people working for CRA are. CRA employees are working 12 hour shifts now, and when they win the game, they don't win anything, when they loose the game, they don't loose anything... And I encourage SPs to file their tax returns...

I think for 2019 every SP earned an income of $12,069 :eyebrows:

Ha! You must be kiels' shill! what next, Orangehead is gonna jump out with more nonsense? Now be QUIET!

Yeah. I could find the example of person A can produce 10 apples or 4 oranges per year, and person B can produce 3 apples or 2 oranges per year.....Oh fk it, I will just keep quite.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-ottawa-faces-criticism-for-sending-16-tonnes-of-personal-protective/ The goods Canada sent to China included 50,118 face shields, 1,101 masks, 1,820 pairs of goggles, 36,425 medical coveralls, 200,000 nitrile gloves and 3,000 aprons. The supplies...

Wrong. This is just the concept of specialization in macroeconomics. Outsourcing increases the total output thus benefits the human race as a whole. The problem is the distribution of wealth. More wealth is withheld by the corporation/shareholders, the general population won't see much of the...

Those are low Gross Margin products, normally the demand is also pretty low, so we outsource the production to third world countries. Usually that's not a problem, if the countries do not close the borders and chanting "America first", "China first", "Canada first", "xxxxx first"......

Property tax is local/city, Speculation tax is provincial.
