WSJ reporting that more than half of US workers will actually earn more money with the unemployment benefits, than they did before the lockdown.

Coronavirus pandemic model increases predicted US death toll to 74,000


A coronavirus pandemic model has increased the predicted US death toll from the disease to 74,000 – up 14,000 from the previous estimate, according to a report.

“Our forecast now is for 74,000 deaths. That’s our best estimate. The range is pretty wide because there’s a lot of unknown factors there, but our best estimate is going up, and we see these protracted, long peaks in some states,” Dr. Chris Murray, director of the University of Washington’s Institute for Help Metrics and Evaluation, told CNN.

As an economist, I've *never* heard the term "economic intercourse". He clearly meant economic interaction.
Who thought that the old codger could teach us something new

Might actually give rise to considerations for UBI or minimum wage hikes , we could do with less businesses profiting hugely while people need to work 2 jobs.
And the same businesses would retrench at the drop of a hat.

So because you haven't heard of it, it doesn't exist? Economic intercourse works perfectly together and given the context of what he was saying, its quite correct.

Just a guess, but maybe he thought you meant the Orange Dotard screwing the economy.

Nope. It's 'economic interaction'. He was trying to communicate the importance of collaborating between countries. Interaction is a far better word. You talk about 'interactions' between countries not 'intercourse'. Good grief.

On Friday evening, POLITICO received a statement from a representative for Bank of China USA, which had not been contacted beforehand, that the bank had sold off, or securitized, its debt shortly after the 2012 deal. A spokeswoman said the bank has no current financial interest in any Trump Organization properties.
Our commitment at POLITICO is to journalism that gets its facts straight. We regret we fell short in this case.

Trump to order meat processing plants to stay open

President Donald Trump is expected to sign a five-page executive order under the Defense Production Act to compel meat processing plants to remain open amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump had highlighted the order during an Oval Office meeting with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that was opened up to reporters.

"We're going to sign an executive order today, I believe, and that'll solve any liability problems," Trump said on Tuesday.

The President is expected to sign the order after some companies, such as Tyson Foods, were considering only keeping 20% of their facilities open. The vast majority of processing plants could have shut down -- which would have reduced processing capacity in the country by as much as 80%, an official familiar with the order told.

By signing the order, Trump will declare these plants as a part of critical infrastructure in the US.

The english language can use different words to mean the same or similar things, we even call them synonyms.

intercourse
noun


  1. 1.
    communication or dealings between individuals or groups.

Good grief
