Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[GiggerVol]

Again, this argument has been had over and over and I have no willingness to annoy people who don’t want to read it, but, the economy is screwed regardless. So prioritizing it over lives is comical to me.

You are such a debbie downer on this. You can take your depressed, fear and worry self and lock yourself in. But stay out of everybody's way that is ready to go!

 

[Dudleys87]

Come on man..do this right.

I wasn’t aware of the spelling Ruck

Hope isn’t a plan.

So confused by what happened in here last night. The thread read like merge dozier gone wild. Then I wake up this morning with fewer notifications even though I haven’t posted since Thursday.

Reminded me of the Gruden days......

Not mine, but thought it appropriate.

Our Socratic forbears taught us through their “Seeds of the Logos” that the reasoning man does not have to be an expert in a given field to be able to make a competent judgment regarding whether he is dealing with leaders whose advice he should heed or reject as fraudulent. Frauds demand absolute faith in their claims, treating the confused doubter with contempt for his invincible ignorance. Such imposters may seriously believe that they are omniscient experts. But when they tell young or otherwise healthy persons that they are in the same condition as the weakest of the elderly or the already ill; when they say that in order to protect itself the vast mass of the population has to abandon its livelihood, the well-being of its country, the cultural life of its civilization, and the tools required for its eternal salvation they must be dismissed for what they actually are: quacks.

There’s a serious disconnect between the stock market and the broader national/international economy and people’s every day lives.

We’ve got a higher unemployment rate than during the Great Depression. The Dow going up doesn’t mean ****.

Well the stock market and jobs correlate considering based on economic needs of business etc, goods and services are produced and distributed, also effecting the stock market based on supply and demand.

Unemployment is high because people were forced to “shelter in place” against their will for something that isn’t as deadly as it was initially made out to be. Decreased work force lowers production and consumption. Which is the life of the economy. So, yeah all of it correlates.

 

[engineerVOL]

Kingston... we were told to flatten the curve.

We CRUSHED it.

Time to move on, and flatten the other far worsening curves.

 

[Kingston Vol]

not going to clog up the board with this again.

We can agree to disagree. Have a good one, folks. Should be a good recruiting day.

Yea, I would definitely say the market is an indicator of the economy.

I think what you have right now is some percentage of the unemployed are temporary and some percentage doesn’t want to work while receiving unemployment. In 2 months, that will all change. The only ones that are left are those that worked at an already struggling business that didn’t make it. Unless I see otherwise, the virus only took out businesses that were already on the verge of closing.

That's the problem. Certain of our 'leaders keep changing the goal posts. First we had to flatten the curve, so we flattened the curve. Now their talking point is "testing, testing, testing." If we tested everyone in America then they would insist we need to do something else before it is safe. We are not listening anymore. Let's get this this thing opened back up.

I mean most small business operate paycheck to paycheck. So those are going to be the ones that struggled.

Doug Atkins would still people alive in today’s game. Most coaches would probably put him on the offensive line though.

That would be the say as saying that they would put Reggie White or John Henderson on the OL.
Their level of ferocity and on field violence was made for the DL.

That being said, they would all be left tackles. There would be an absence of DEs in the SEC because no one would want to be planted every time they crossed the Tennessee line of scrimmage

Just a smoldering crater left where there once was a DE

Hey @Ulysees E. McGill - since Tupac is alive and well in Lexington and since you have such an affinity for Beshear, I found the shirt for you.

Why don't you enlighten all of us ignorant hillbillies about your expertise in the markets and economy so we can believe and do it the way you do.

 

[Vols4us]

The economy is not screwed. Prior to the breakout the only issue we were seeing globally was that central banks were steeling in to assist the overnight repo market.
I work for FEE and I can assure you that the keynesian economics theory Allows for fiat currency printing at infinity. As long as the “people” accept fiat then inflation is fine and a good thing at the pace we have seen it historically. (Check out the FEE podcast for more great info on the world economy if you are into this kind of stuff, it’s really good.)

Now extending this shut down much longer and we are talking war.

Russia gets 90% of their income (not taxing citizens) from oil along with about 30 other countries. No demand for oil.... big issues. Famine, mass poverty and then war. This is why we stepped in to address OPEC and Russia and USA agreed to cut production along with Saudi’s.

You blew past KV's knowledge in the second sentence.

 

[SweetasSoda]

GBO.

Yes, GB!!!

I have noticed locally with regard to restaurants that the most successful ones continued that with drive up business. Those already struggling are the ones that may not make it. I don’t know about novelty retail.

But notice that the national businesses that have declared bankruptcy were already on verge of it.

Also, if the small business owner was able to get PPP money, then that will mitigate any loss and keep everyone on payroll.

 

[JacketVol]

I’m not sure how many of that 70k+ number you can trust. Maybe the majority but how many of those would’ve passed away from their underlying conditions in those nursing homes anyways?

This all freaking day. We should’ve been back to school in Tennessee in most counties early April and never closed businesses in most counties and quarantine the sick and sheltered elderly and vulnerable

 

[Rishvol]

Man this kid is unreal

Makes me even more excited for his future
