It is a relevant question is that up or down relative to last year? Per ride? Per vehicle mile travelled?

As a headline number it sucks, but are they improving or doing better relative to alternative options?

Yeah but 2019's revision of 2018's numbers were the biggest since 2009 so in 2020 I'm expecting to find out that actually we were all unemployed during 2019.

Tax cuts, low interest rates, and an ongoing and massive government stimulus (trillion dollar deficits).

Thankfully the debt is funded in US dollars. Just wait until the dollar is no longer the global currency, whenever that happens. That will be fun haha.

Not when bernie sets reasonable corporate tax rates.

Really the larger countries need to get together for a global corporate tax agreement. That would be ideal and therefore will never ever ever ever ever ever happen.

Sorry, I thought this was a CSPAM thread. What should I buy as penance?

All our government spending has to come from somewhere after all. It is pretty handy everyone is always willing to lend the US government money, and God forbid this ever changes. Yikes.

As long as the rest of the world is trading in dollars, we are basically going to be like Greece in our lifetimes.

Yeah, but people have been saying this before most of us were born. Dollar collapse any day now since Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971.

Oh sure but that doesn't mean it isn't true. I don't believe that anything so drastic as a collapse will happen, but that isn't the same thing as laughing it off as not important.

Ya that's why the national debt has always been a issue even since the 20s but hardly mattered because of US's reserve status. Unfortunately I don't see any other currency that is as stable as USD as of yet.

CRTX will go UP in late 2021 if their drug works

It will go DOWN in late 2021 if their drug doesn't


Absolutely impossible to know anything about their drug before then. They've only just started feeding old people the pills in the past few days.

Expect it to bounce around between $10 and $50 based on extreme low volume momentum, but in 2022 it's either going to be $1 or $1,000 a share
