Bloomberg New Economy: China is Winning the Trade War With Trump
By Andrew Browne
September 19, 2020, 6:45 AM EDT

After four years of relentless effort by President Donald Trump to push back against China, his campaign reached new heights (or lows) Friday when he sought to ban new downloads of WeChat, China’s ubiquitous messaging and payments app, and the wildly popular video-sharing app TikTok.

Nevertheless, the final scorecard is already in: On just about every metric that matters, China is ahead. At every turn, Trump seems to have been outplayed and outsmarted throughout the global trade war that began shortly after he took office.

WeChat like TikTok are China controlled DATA MINING APPS... everytime you use it China learns more about the user to use to their advantage. Besides only the younger crowd ( physically/mentally) uses apps like that.

Bloomberg pays fines for 32,000 felons in Florida so they can vote

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has reportedly raised more than $16 million in an effort to help convicted felons in Florida register to vote.

The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition estimated Bloomberg's fundraising push has already paid off monetary obligations for 32,000 felons, Axios reported.

"The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and no American should be denied that right," a Bloomberg spokesperson told the news outlet. "Working together with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, we are determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it."

Florida passed a law in 2018 reinstating voting rights for felons that dictated they could register only if they pay all fines, fees and restitution - sometimes totaling more than $1,000 - owed to the government.

Looks like you've finally accepted that we have the votes and we will replace RGB on the court.

Let me get this straight...

Chris Hayes is suggesting that Republicans must pay by convincing voters that the court will strike down Obamacare? Where's the downside to that. That's what we want.

Somehow I don't think that's gonna resonate with republican or swing voters. We're gonna make it legal for insurance companies to compete across state lines and let the free market do what it does. No more BS.

PS - Obamcare is expensive and has extremely high deductibles which make it practically useless for most.

I know this for a fact. Obama promised you suckers that health care cost would go down. Nope.



As a result, when President Trump took office in 2017, average individual market health insurance premiums in states using HealthCare.gov had already doubled when compared to 2013, the year before Obamacare's main regulations took effect. Average premiums went up by another 26 percent in 2018.

200,000 Americans dead, but Trump says Covid affects 'virtually nobody'

More Americans have now died of Covid than of five wars combined.

Or, the US Covid deaths are the equivalent of US deaths on 9/11 occurring every day for 66 days.
Or, the US has suffered an average of 858 deaths every day since February 6, the date of the first known US coronavirus death.
Or, Covid is now the second-leading cause of death in the US this year, behind only heart disease. Read more here.
Many, many more deaths are on the way. Prediction models, which fluctuate, currently suggest the US could see 180,000 more deaths by the end of 2020 -- 380,000 deaths total. If fatalities approach that level, they'll far eclipse even Civil War battle deaths.
Infectious disease expert and government official Anthony Fauci said at the Citizen by CNN conference on Tuesday that he's concerned about the country not having control of the virus' spread ahead of a winter season that could exacerbate it.
"The idea of 200,000 deaths is really very sobering, and in some respects, stunning," he told CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta. Fauci argued that the country is in a pivotal moment to slow the spread right now with simple measures -- frequent hand washing and wearing masks, the same as the recommendation has been for months -- before winter comes, when people spend more time inside and transmission could increase.
"We do have within our capability -- even before we get a vaccine, which we will get reasonably soon -- we have the capability by doing things that we have been speaking about for so long, Sanjay, that could prevent the transmission, and by preventing transmission, ultimately preventing the morbidity and mortality that we see," Fauci said.
He added that he'd like to see the US go into the fall and winter months "at such a low level that when you have the inevitable cases, you can handle them."
Yet President Donald Trump says Covid affects virtually nobody. Rather than publicly mourning, Trump was arguing this week that Covid affects "elderly people with heart problems" and very few other people. "It affects virtually nobody. It's an amazing thing," he said in Ohio.
Somebody should show him this story about a 28-year-old Houston OB-GYN who caught Covid in July and died just recently.
Or he could read this story about a study suggesting Black and Latino people are twice as likely to test positive.
Oh, and watch video from Trump's event where an Ohio elected official, Secretary of State John Husted, encouraged Trump supporters to wear MAGA masks. They booed him.
