Commentaries, Analysis, And Editorials -- February 12, 2020


Malcolm S. McNeil, CNBC: Why the world economy will be facing China’s coronavirus for a long time

* The coronavirus, now officially designated as Covid-19, is not just a short-term hiccup, and no vaccine can solve longer-term corporate issues it has revealed.
* China invested decades in building cross-border relationships in a deliberate fashion.
* The world’s second-largest economy will not be off limits to future investment, but there will be wariness and caution and businesses seeking alternatives.

Everywhere we look we see the headlines and commentators talking about the coronavirus and its impact on tourism, trade and investment between China and the West — and China and the U.S., in particular. However, there are far-reaching effects that have not been contemplated fully beyond the intuitive assessment.

Things move slowly. China has long been known as a country with patience, which in business language translates to longer lead times in the transactional arena, sometimes exhaustive negotiations, and relationships are built over time. Many of these relationships are created in the environment of trade shows, conferences, information exchange platforms, and trade delegations. China has finely tuned this method of cross-border introductions and it is a continuous process.

We were vandalized again today, a substance was poured into the office and police believe he was trying to set the office on fire, thank you Eureka Police for the quick response and capture of the suspect. The suspect threw his bicycle at officers and to no ones surprise he had a Bernie Sanders sticker on his bike, we have great video.

Stone's crime? Congratulating wiki leaks.


In a just world Democrats would be incarcerated.

PJ Media (originally known as Pajamas Media) is an American online media company and operator of a conservative news, opinion and commentary collaborative blog that was founded in 2004. PJ Media was founded by Charles Johnson and Roger L. Simon. Johnson and Simon set out to “challenge the mainstream media with a network of citizen-journalists.” The network was primarily made up of conservatives and libertarians. PJ Media also had a TV channel that shutdown operations on May 11, 2016, after its billionaire majority investor Aubrey Chernick pulled out funds.

Reasoning: Extreme Right, Propaganda, Conspiracy, Poor Sourcing, Failed Fact Checks
Country: USA

Nevertheless I don't like Justin Trudeau nor did I like his father Pierre. Had there been a reasonable party leader in the last election Justin and much of his party would have been bounced. Canada is always better off with a minority/coalition government.

PJ Media was purposefully known as Pajamas Media. Some bold, intrepid journalist took a slur by a Leftist as a nom de guerre.

"You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances at 60 Minutes and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas."

60 Minutes could not keep all the details of their lie straight. Poor truth tellers.

Poor Bob, he is 3 cylinders short of a 4 cylinder engine. He can only counter a news story with a wiki entry about the details of the founding of a news company.

Is Bob going to dissemble like a bridge troll? Cast aspersions and not point out what stories should not be covered because they are embarrassing to a liberal like himself?

Is Ezra Levant being hauled into court by the fascists in the Chinadian government run by maximum leader PM blackface?
