  Two of Elon Musk's massive, multimillion-dollar Southern California homes are on the market just days after he said he planned to sell off much of what he owns. 

"I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house," the billionaire Tesla (TSLA)and SpaceX founder said on Twitter Friday.

Selling his homes and living in girlfriend's home.

 

Wow.  He's like a monk, this guy.

[St1ck]

He should send all his homes into space.

Elon is selling his homes before the housing market collapses. The damage from this thing will be so massive we'll hardly believe it. He's getting out before the crash.

Population of: 

Texas. 29 million
South Korea: 51 million
Germany: 83 million
New Zealand: 4 million

since you struggle with thoughts tougher than libs bad, a ‘national plan and guidelines’ is just that  it sets out markers and thresholds that allow local governments to move forward based on what is happening in their area.

 

 

 

I was speaking of dice not population. So yes combined those counties are almost a third of our population. As for a national plan, we had and continue to update national pandemic response plans and agreements. Federal and state roles are clearly defined. Most of the preparedness falls on individual states and has for years. Most states did not fund these and a few states paid the price in human lives. It appears you lack some understanding of government response roles and responsibilities. This would make a great discussion topic for your next metrosexual Starbucks meeting. You might have to postpone Walt Whitman literature night but well worth the enlightenment. Social Distance!

Former President Obama during a private call on Friday night with his former aides tore into the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus crisis, calling it an "absolute chaotic disaster."

Have at it, cons.

Lol. Who fuckin cares?

Obama is like Jesus to us folks.

Keep posting about him Taylor even though it's irrelevant and no one cares. Let's keep his name alive.

[angelinkc]

I bet this call was more to remind them he is not afraid to Killary Clinton anyone who drops his name in the Flynn case.

British writer Nate White with perhaps the best description of Trump that I have ever read.

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” 

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.
