Apple's Jeff Williams 'bullish' about post-coronavirus economic recovery in US
#45 needs to take credit for the good economy he inherited from #44, the GOP senate kept the "get out of jail free" cards coming until corvid19 came ashore as predicted yet was still ignored. he and his cronies should be gone by the end of Jan 2021 but his sham of a government will leave unimagined death and a hallowed out economy.GeorgeBMac said:So why did the Trump administration censor expert advice from scientists at the CDC on what people and businesses need to do in order to end social distancing and re-open without endangering lives (or at least minimizing risk)?
Is it because it did not comport with their idyllic picture of a perfect America making itself great again?
Was it more convenient to simply double the predicted death count?CDC compiles new guidelines to help organizations reopen

Apple's Jeff Williams 'bullish' about post-coronavirus economic recovery in US
Never said locked up for years however I implied that unless we all follow the same safety measures we won't be able to contain the spread which could go on for years. This pandemic has shown what our country really is, a place where the poor must risk their lives keeping the wheels moving, making sure there's food, while having no health insurance or at least a policy they can afford. Everyone I know with money has fled. the city and are getting cozy in one of their vacation homes. My sister unfortunately works for Whole Foods and must deal with thousand of strangers daily. Remember as long as there is one infected person (knowing or not) out and about those that make contact with them will lead to multiple infections and a percentage will die.lkrupp said:
Even the ‘great' Andrew Cuomo recently said that continued lockdown of the country is unsustainable. The population won’t stand for it much longer, people will start starving, there will be a rebellion, armed if necessary. As I have posted on other occasions, you as an individual are perfectly free to remain locked up in your bunker until you think it’s okay to venture out. No one will force you out of your bunker into the world. That will be up to you. So I don’t buy the “we have to stay locked up for years” mentality. That is a defeatist mentality. I’m in the highest risk category, 70 years old, a tad of COPD, heart disease, but I have no intention of staying locked up for years.spice-boy said:Hey Lkrupp, I almost entirely agree with you. People are fooling themselves if they think this pandemic is like a thunderstorm which darkens the sky, dumps some rain they the sun returns the next day and the birds are chirping. There will constant outbreaks and spikes for years to come. We are dealing with something the most brilliant medical minds are just starting to understand and they realize how little they really know about the effects and possible mutation of this virus. Our economy is based on consumer spending and people only spend money when they are somewhat optimistic about the present and near future. My neighbors are dying, I've been in shutdown since mid-march, I fear states who ignore safety to re-open will keep this virus spreading for another years at least.

Apple Card outage stopping customers from paying bills [u]
Great iCloud works great for you, so if someone is experiencing problems they are either imagining it or are attacking Apple?macxpress said:
Hmm...iCloud works perfectly fine for me. Go figure!ShapeshiftingFish said:I don't mean to generalize and it's probably a short lived glitch in the case of the card, but I tend to trust Apple's services less and less. iCloud is very messy for me with erratic syncing (drive, photos), needing several sign ins and outs on numerous devices; Music is crappy comparing with, say, Spotify, borderline offensive in recommendations and discovery; TV+ is mostly dull with original content seemingly committee based (more so than the competitors), like "let's be edgy, but at all cost inclusive and not offensive". The hardware is mostly still well behaved, so I'm still all in on that front, but I am actively eyeing the alternatives for the first time in several years, just to have a quick backup option. I now a have a second (Android) phone and am using duplicate services (contacts, calendar, notes, photos etc.). And for work, learning the alternative options that work on Windows (Premiere vs. Final Cut, Ableton vs. Logic). I love the idea of tight integration, Apple style, and until very recently I was exclusively Apple-everything. But lately I've been feeling uneasy with that approach. Always have a backup plan and a redundant second everything (romantic partners not strictly implied in that scheme).
