Next, can we get some stats on Enron's economic activity, and how many new customers Madoff got this month?

And even if they are legit, they just lend to the other Crypto lenders, and it all ends up inside some ponzies that are at the bottom.

But that "factor of more than 6 chance of never getting covid" is because more than 60% will or did get vaccinated.

In other words, go fcc yourself, freeloader.

In Soviet Russia, market puts you in a bubble.

Yes, you and only you are a special kind of human that can be called a programmer.

Or from Italy to China, because, as you know, planes rarely fly somewhere and then don't come back.

In other words, having lots of people traveling from China to Italy means that you also have many people traveling from Italy to China.

So, the virus could have easily spread from Italy to China, because, as you said, Italy has very tight commercial connections with China.
