26,697 cases in NYC -- (link) - ty97 Mar 27, 16:41 5
- Bronx now has more cases than Manhattan. I can't help but wonder if this is because more working class (can't WFH) in Bronx than Manhattan. - ty97 Mar 27, 16:44 4
  - This is why... -- (link) - Krusty Mar 27, 17:07 2
    - So, what I’ve been saying from day one the problem with the current approach is? That’s a picture of future trump if they live -- nm - JackDawson Mar 27, 17:56

So, I am probably way off here, but I read GM as saying we will not reopen a closed factory for production, we will use what we have active - VMan Mar 27, 16:11 8
- They sold the plant in November of last year. -- nm - ty97 Mar 27, 16:13 7
  - As I said, I am way off here. Why is Idiot yakking about opening Lordstown? Does he want GM to buy it back? I mean other than pandering to Ohio. -- nm - VMan Mar 27, 16:16 5
    - remember he said they were open and making autos there, it was a campaign promise kept so by trumpery it is open and will soon make vents, get it - zeitgeist Mar 27, 16:23
    - He doesn't know they sold it. He just knew they closed it. Also, you're looking for logic from him -- nm - TWuG Mar 27, 16:18 1
      - Like I said, I am guessing he was trying to pander to Ohio, which may work for some, showing how he has the working mans' back. -- nm - VMan Mar 27, 16:20
    - why in the name of God are you seeking an explanation for why he is screaming about something? -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 16:17 1
      - You have to keep asking him to explain. IMHO he was very close today to telling reporters (one in particular) to eff off. -- nm - VMan Mar 27, 16:18
  - I'm wondering, how can Trump force them to open a factory they sold? Can he? Is this the usual bullshit? -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 16:15
Why are you not worshipping me? You should kneel and kiss my feet! -- nm - Dump Mar 27, 16:09

    - No WAY?! -- nm - ty97 Mar 27, 15:47
  - Right. Washington, New York, and California are one thing, but you’d think he’d treat Michigan differently. -- nm - Dano Mar 27, 15:40 5
