Google is an advertising company that accepts money for ad placement...

Lol I just mean I had never heard of it if it weren't for advertising. It's kind of weird to me for there to be an emerging newspaper when newspapers are in decline. It bills itself as not being fake news, covering the stories the others ignore. Cannot even repeat what I have heard out of oppression. They're watching.

Generally newspapers with religious names (Christian monitor, etc) should have all their articles dubiously considered.

One trick they do is sprinkle factual stories in with the fiction so you take it for a reliable paper

EDIT: I think you meant Epoch Times not Enoch (which would make it religious.)

Here is info on Epoch times. I would not trust it

Epoch, not Enoch yes. I knew something was off on my end, but wasn't sure what. I'd be interested in people's opinions if we have any subscribers amongst us.

I have seen some excellent articles, in my opinion.

On another note, you may have noticed there is more and more acceptance, even in the last few days, that the virus was engineered, in a lab. I don't want to push the envelope, I don't know how far I can go without getting suspended, but I NEVER believed the "wet market" story, even from the beginning.

Your behavior has been quite rude and disrespectful lately. Comment after comment, win friends and influence people instead. This isn't about people who talk about fake news, it's about a newspaper with really persuasive advertising on Youtube. I'm thinking about buying a newspaper subscription in 2020. In writing this I realize you're baiting to try triggering someone into mentioning Orange Man.

That is what you call persuasive advertising,eh? PT Barnum was right.

Reading is fundamental. In a life saving situation, I don't want to have to put my faith in a certificate anyone with a color printer an make.
My businesses are closed until there is an effective way to tell me that my employees aren't at risk and aren't a threat to my customers. Anti-body testing can be the game changer but is useless unless the results can be certified.
Over the next two or three weeks, we will have to come up with a new business plan, literally reinventing ourselves and probably going from a gallery like setting to strictly an online commerce site. Not at all what I envisioned when I bought this building, but we will adapt, innovate, and overcome. Others seem more comfortable putting their heads up their asses and waiting for some savior to swoop in on his unicorn and make everything bright and groovy.
The world has changed. Sitting around waiting for the world to return to our old normal isn't much of a plan but if it makes you feel good, go for it.

I was going to sympathize and wish you good luck. I know many people in a similar spot as you needing to reinvent their business.

But then your post turned offensive and you said I have my head up my @$$.

Yes, but this is China, a country where non-conformity in just about anything "pays a heavy price".

I don't even know what that means, it seems you are stating the obvious. The Chinese people need FREEDOM.

Please don't be offended. Personally, I want the Chinese and the Russians to be free, but clearly their governments do not and I have no idea what percentage of the Chinese people want democracy.

I happen to have a rather greater amount of experience with people from Red China than most Americans do and can tell you that all of them were fascinated by our election process, our courts (particularly on TV) and some were utterly nonplussed at seeing the newspaper listings for abandoned property owners, it being inconceivable to them that Americans can move and the government not know where they are living. I recall mentioning that I moved from Boston to Los Angeles and one of the Chinese wanted to know the process involved but I simply told him that I went to the airport, bought a ticket and got on the plane. He literally did not realize what freedom to travel was.

Billryan, you're making everyone an adversary for no reason.. I don't know why, but you seem to be targeting me with posts saying I have too much time on my hands repeatedly. This is generally considered to be condescending. You have no enemies, just be peaceful and constructive. I'm completely innocent, I don't know why you're seeing me as your enemy or whipping boy, looking for a fight with everyone. If I have to ignore you I will, but would rather you ignore everyone else and be kind to people.

Does anyone pay for any of these news sites in general? I kind of want to get Barron's, but there are so many news sources out there I keep stumbling into, I'll wind up with 5 sites, then wind up not even looking at them for 3 years and paying all along. I'm too lazy to keep up on useless subscriptions. Google might even be directing me to these websites intentionally. The ones I'm considering off hand, Barron's and IBD, forget the others.

I don't watch any msm news other than local, sometimes.

I read my info from sites like Epoch, who I've referenced in the past, but I like alternative news sites. So I make one time donations to several different sites, which have an uphill struggle on their hands to stay working.

I like these people for some alternative financial news. https://wallstreetonparade.com/2020/04/feds-powell-tells-reporters-fed-has-only-lending-powers-so-how-does-it-own-5-5-trillion-of-securities/

It occurred to me about a dozen years ago that basically all news is actually financial news. If something is happening somewhere in the world, it will shift money. And money people are on it first. Whether it's Ebola, or oil spills, forest fires that burn down towns and kill folks, you name it, that is all financial news.

Money really isn't interested in politics, it is only interested in mating with other money.

Look 19:55 Sounds like a motive to release the virus. He says there were protests in Hong Kong in line with Tianenmen square. Great way to stifle protests by forcing them inside their homes to save lives. There were many calls for free speech in China when the virus first hit. I bet people in China would love the freedoms we have here. :)
