DooDil, Could you explain more about "a legit reverse mortgage"? The reason I ask is my brother had been trying to figure out a way for my parents to get more income, but the reverse mortgage idea kept looking like some sort of trap. Cheers.

Heh! Glad to see my suggestion still being ignored! And I already have a wife! ;D "Pretty sure nobody cares though." - to dwy000 - somebody started this thread, which means somebody cared. And my response to you is "GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Your choice.” Cheers!

Pardon the beginner question: Does Alderon stock continue to have any value? Trying to find news about what will happen up there is quite the tough job. Cheers!

THANK YOU for mentioning that Twitter feed - very funny! Cheers!

As someone who has been shot in the last year, but in the same time avoided this virus (I think, may go for the anti-body test to double-check), I still think the best response to the question of this thread is: Those who get the vaccine - GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Your choice. Those who don't get the vaccine - GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Your choice. Funny part about all the people responding - we ALL try to limit the taxes we pay! Cheers!

"Maybe we should avoid to politicize this thread and just stick to the topic of this poll and avoid an epidemic of sh1tposts." -Those who get the vaccine - GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Your choice. F R E E D O M ! 8)

"It’s seriously not that hard to understand what happened if you aren’t trying to play the gotcha game." -How about we agree on this: Those who get the vaccine - GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Your choice. Those who don't get the vaccine - GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Your choice. Sound ok? Cheers.

"It just won't take with them." -Seriously? Very silly statement. Fauci has flip-flopped more than a politician the last year, even more than he did in his previous 30+ years as a government hack. "The problem is that there is an inherent skepticism for science and statistics." -I think skepticism is the key to science, not the problem. As for statistics, as a US citizen, I see 50 states worth of data. Eventually, I will look to live in a state like Fl, SD, TX, etc, where there seems to be more of a balance between freedom and government "caring". I don't understand why those willing to take the vaccine have to say anything about those who won't. I know I don't opine on your decision to take it. I stated my reasons to not take the vaccine prior to this, so go back and check them out. Beyond that, take your "for the common good" claptrap and stick it. Cheers!

Chevy Chase should call Peloton to be the spokesperson! You know SNL will NOT be calling him.

I saw an interview with Peter Buffett years ago, and I believe he also worked on Dances With Wolves and other shows dealing with Native American experiences in the earlier parts of United States history........pretty good stuff......and VERY different than his dad!

Good afternoon. My company has been open every day during these government-enforced shutdowns. Essential, we are! Out of about 20 workers, there have been 2 confirmed cases, 1 by antibody test, and 1 admitted to hospital. The one admitted to the hospital has had breathing issues for the last 20 years, and even though we took extra precautions at work, including telling him to stay home, with pay, he refused. He believes he got infected at home, from his daughter or son-in-law. There have been some other work-hours lost to sickness, but not confirmed that it was the Wuhan virus or one of the thousands of other ailments an individual can get, including those brought on by panic/stress. That said, I will not be getting the vaccine until everyone else has. My reasons: I am 50 and under, in relatively good shape, so not in a high-risk group. I know about 30-40 first-responders (cops, fire, EMT, doc, nurse). 3 of them willingly got the vaccine as soon as they could. The others declined, for various reasons. My wife is not in a rush to get it. I don't trust government, I don't trust Big Pharma, I don't trust chiropractors, I don't trust politicians. I do trust and know I will die, eventually, but hopefully not too soon. I also know that for the last year, I have been in and around hospitals at least 3 days a week, personally making deliveries to various departments and personnel, and see that this virus is serious, but it should not have changed, in such dramatic fashion, the everyday lives of the billions of people in the manner it has. Cheers!

"Both of those behaviours result in the sale of assets when the estate is settled. Not every kid is a loser, but if you have 4 or 5 of them, it's likely that at least a couple of them will be spendthrifts or married to a spendthrift." -For those of us who are not millionaires or billionaires, and who own businesses that provide a service to those who can afford that service, the more spendthrifts the merrier!

"A defender of their system almost." -Just like Buffett, Gates, and a lot of others. They will ignore the "unpleasant" truths for a buck, like most of us do throughout our lifetimes, at one stage or another.

"More Californians died of COVID-19 in January than any other month of the pandemic, data from The Times tracker show, with L.A. County continuing to bear the brunt of the virus' toll." -So, the state with some of the harshest measures to "defeat the virus" sees their largest death totals NOW, while at the same time ruining countless numbers of businesses and personal lives........something tells me the authorities in certain states need to take some "humility" pills.

Will BYD look to bring their cars to the United States and Canada markets?
