    Damn, where the hell are the airline ticket price futures at the CME? They've got weather, electricity and shipping rate futures...What about airline fares? I'd go long on a year-out monthly contract at that rate to China.

    This is interesting:



    The science community thinks Spanish Flu originated in the United States. The fatality rate ranged from 5% in some populations to 80% among Samoans and some other ethnicities. It killed 40 million people and infected well over half of the worlds population.

    They tore down the buildings and planted trees?
    Lots of folks are wearing masks in that 1st picture too. Of course that may just be the culture I guess.

    Knows as much about the World outside USA’s borders as his illustrious leader clown shoes trump.
    Then again, Trump doesn’t even know the world inside the borders of the United States..

  8. Unfortunately, airline prices are not dipping at all. I thought I could get a "corona discount" on airfare to Japan. I spend more time in Japan than I do in the states. The only discounts I see are on China Eastern Airlines. That airlines sucked even before the corona virus, I can't imagine it now. You can fly out of LAX to NRT for like $400 round trip, that is the corona discount if you don't mind a 48+ hour layover in Shanghai. BTW, you can't even smoke in the HUB Bar since Japan is so accommodating to Americans now for the 2020 Olympics......

    His brain is as smooth as an egg. We don't expect these guys to actually know stuff like China switched to driving on the right in 1946 (that was a hell of a day in China haha). HK did not obviously.

    Lacesout is another ignoramus, he claims to have been most everywhere but he says things like he was told by a woman in England she worried if she will live to return home every day from all the knife crime... I lived there for years, utter nonsense made up by Russian propogandists the right completely swallow and regurgitate as fantasy stories they justify as "as good as true".
