I don't remember getting and news alerts for a bunch of Ralph's employees dying last year for ANY reason. You think no employees of Ralph’s died for any reason last year? And if you don’t get alerted by the media that somebody who is employed at a Ralph’s died, it didn’t happen? What sort of logic is that?

But If a bunch of employees at Ralph's started dying due to work related conditions such as, falls or boxes falling on top of them or for whatever reason, I would think we would hear something about it locally. We didn't because a significant number of Ralph employess wer NOT dying last year for ANY work related reason. It's irrelevant though because my HUNCH is that more workers in essential jobs are dying THIS year due to the pandemic than last year from other causes. The anecdotal information is out there if you want it. Carry on... I'll see myself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The UK just sold its first ever negative-yielding government bond Quote The U.K. borrowed at a negative interest rate for the first time on Wednesday, amid growing fears of a deep global recession and expectations of further bond buying action from central banks. In an auction Wednesday, the country's Debt Management Office said it sold £3.8 billion ($4.66 billion) worth of three-year gilts at a yield of minus 0.003%. This negative-yielding bond means the British government is effectively being paid to borrow. Investors will get back slightly less than they initially paid if they hold the bond to maturity, such is the demand for shoring up money in bonds.

It's a thing that doesn't really work, but central banks have been encouraging anyway cause they're out of ideas, and because it lets them bailout the financial sector without having to say that's what they're doing.

The owner of the Mall of America, a more than 2m square foot complex in Bloomington, Minnesota, that boasts a Nickelodeon Universe indoor theme park and more than 500 stores, missed its mortgage payments in April and May, documents prepared by Wells Fargo and reviewed by the Financial Times showed.

They also never cared that insurance companies have been “death panels” for decades. Deciding what life saving treatment they will pay for and what they won’t.
