Those with antisocial personality disorder ASPD may begin to show symptoms in childhood, but the condition can’t be diagnosed until adolescence or adulthood. Those with antisocial personality disorder tend to lie, break laws, act impulsively, and lack regard for their own safety or the safety of others. Symptoms may lessen with age. Treatment may include talk therapy and support for affected family members.
The real plague is a trustless society.
NBC and CNN producers say they’re through airing Trump’s virus pressers. “We might take it from the top and then cut away after the first lie, and return when the lies stop.”
Money
EAT THE RICH
Deleno Roosevelt (opium family money) understood (and explained to the wealthy) that if they didn’t look after the people, then the people would eat them. Or at least hang them in the streets and overthrow the government to create a new state that wasn’t founded on capitalism…
Unless your landlord is a personal friend, why pay rent? Evictions will be completely backed up. No way can they evict everyone. Rational economic move is to not pay, negotiate a better lease, or tell him to take you to court. That’ll be a very long process.
“In old fashioned language, Keynes proposed cheating the workers.” ~ Ludwig von Mises
Bitcoin and the US dollar now have the same value proposition. It will take months if not years for folks to see how this shift happened. Crypto’s value is explained through the Austrian school of economics (http://mises.org). What the Fed has done is move from a Keynesian model to an Austrian model. You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

The pound tumbled to its lowest level on record against the currencies of the UK’s trading partners on Tuesday — weaker than at any time during the Brexit process or the 2008-09 financial crisis
Landlords panicking about Rent Strikes is my favorite thing right now. fast food workers are self-organizing general strikes, nurses and garbage collectors are putting their foot down, tenants are finally asking what comes after a rent strike, not how to do a rent strike.
Governor @GavinNewsom says that @BankofAmerica is the only bank that refused to join over 200 other financial institutions (including the biggest banks in the country) in giving a 90 day moratorium on mortgage payments to Californians while also protecting their credit ratings.

Three days ago, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Donald Trump was visited by the ghost of George Washington.
“George,” Trump asked, “how can I fix this? How do I make America great again?”
“Never tell a lie.”
“I don’t lie. Go away.”
Two days ago, he was visited by the ghost of Thomas Jefferson.
“Hey, Tom, how do I fix this? How can I make America great again?”
“Listen to the people.”
“I know what I’m doing. I listen to the best people. The best ones.”
Last night, while down at Mar-a-Lago, he was visited by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln.
“Hey, Abe, how do I fix this? How can I make America great again?”
“GO SEE A PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!”
