Republicans can't find the money for a stimulus package. So, here comes another recession on the horizon and as it rises, the market sinks. Half of America that has money in stocks like in 401ks just got screwed...

Will it have to get a lot worse before it gets better?

I do. Retired people certainly have the time.

Thanks Brian.....we have one coming up that will have a serving bar down both sides instead of the hinged covers. As well as a 2 piece unit where they face each other with one being nothing but counter and serving bar on one side and all the appliances on the other. That would be more my personal speed

On the price drop: "We’re excited to see it, but it won’t translate to a price decrease or consequences on the prices for probably a couple of months,” said Gray.
"Paul Gray is a builder in the Wichita area. He claims that for every client concerned about lumber prices, eight more give him the green light to frame-up.
“It hasn’t turned away enough people to make a difference,” said Baalmann.
In fact, Gray has had record sales in the last few months."

Looking into it, I find the suit cites a single situation referring to Maddow's reference to an article in the Daily Beast: : "The Court on May 22 found that “the alleged defamatory statement is Maddow’s opinion and exaggeration of the Daily Beast article, and that reasonable viewers would not take the statement as factual.”

That's world's apart from your statement of, "No rational viewer could possibly believe anything presented on MSNBC." That's just silly...

I think you're being obtuse and evasive here, particularly with your statement that "I did not say that Maddow was bought and paid for by the Kremlin though, did I?" 
Obviously that's not what I stated or alluded to in my reply to you.
Again, there's a world of difference between Maddow giving her take on an article published elsewhere and therefore obviously outside the reporting of MSNBC than there is by the nightly primetime presentation of conspiracy theories and misinformation presented by Fox "News" propagandists. Even outside their recognized opionators, and that's being generous since their base audience takes them at their word, Fox misstates the news. A prime example from today: Biden held a press conference for the expressed purpose of announcing the bipartisan deal on infrastructure. And anyone following Hannity or others on Fox knows that Biden is criticized for not being bipartisan. So, how does Fox news report on their website Biden's press conference for a bipartisan deal? They report it as , Bipartisan deal but Biden wants more, dealbreaker!? Again, the reason Biden went on National TV was to inform the nation of the bipartisan deal and Fox reports it otherwise...

I think I'll let the courts and the state bars sort that out, Jim. Let me see, Rudy just had his license to practice law suspended because of his election lies that were accurately reported by MSNBC. I'm awaiting news regarding sanctions for the other big name lawyers who reportedly did the same. Dominion and smartmatic have their suits against the same as well as Fox propagandists coming up in the near future. I'm willing to wait on judgment regarding the veracity of the reporting on MSNBC as determined by the outcome of the sanctions and the lawsuits, are you?
