Displaying 541 To 570 Of 1,008 Comments I pray everyone is safe and taking necessary precautions to help stop the spread of coronavirus. So, I admit that I am not a trump or republican fan. However, ESPECIALLY is a situation where the immediate lives of Americans are involved, I want EVERYONE to successfully carry out their jobs. I DO NOT have ANY confidence that trump and republicans can get us through this situation though. Why? Because they don’t care about people. It is as simple as that. One does not all of a sudden develop an empathy gene. Republicans have never had this gene. They are only able to understand something when they experience it themselves. This character trait is not only in trump, it is in almost EVERYONE who consistently votes for republicans. » Posted By TOCB On March 28, 2020 @ 8:13 am Republicans want to let the old white people who vote for them die, so that young people can have a good economy. Trump says the cure is worse than the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dnn4cANbiE The Lt. Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick, says he is willing to die so that young people can have a good economy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4BlkfrAgqg This is what happens when you put the government in the hands of people who don’t care about people, not even the ones who vote for them. » Posted By TOCB On March 24, 2020 @ 4:36 pm I appreciate the very difficult job Dr. Fauci has in trying to mitigate the misinformation trump gives out at the federal coronavirus press conferences, but I don’t think it helps to excuse trump’s incompetence by saying he comes at the issue from a layman’s perspective, while Dr. Fauci comes at it from a scientific perspective. Trump is the president, and the country needs him to come at the issue from the perspective of a president. Unfortunately, we don’t have lay-presidents. https://apnews.com/432a37435f28015e8b45eeff710cd254 » Posted By TOCB On March 22, 2020 @ 8:01 am I DOUBT if 55% of Americans approve of how trump is handling this. I have very little faith in polls anymore. ANY OF THEM. Who responds to polls anymore? And if they respond, are they providing honest responses? » Posted By TOCB On March 21, 2020 @ 7:01 am Based on the confirmed positives compared to deaths ( currently 19,000 and 247), the mortality rate for COVID-19 is 1.3%, in the USA. Since we are not testing adequately, but rather quarantining as if everyone is a carrier, the mortality rate is infinitesimal, which of course is meaningless. It seems that after mass quarantining for three to four weeks, we would reduce that rate further. The most serious issue seems to be asymptomatic people and how long the virus can remain in their system. There are ways to boost the immune system for most people, but people with immune challenges are always at risk. Mass hysteria only benefits those who are in a position to exploit it. Facts; not fear. Rights IF we remain calm and prudent, we can manage this. Of course we need to tune trump and his merry band of idiots out as much as possible, while considering the problems they present because they are in control of the government. STAY SAFE. » Posted By TOCB On March 21, 2020 @ 6:42 am Several years ago a video entitled The Secret of Oz, written and directed by Bill Still, opened my eyes to a much bigger worldwide scam than even the trump presidency (of course, the trump presidency had not occurred yet). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjGyjUfDoN4 This is probably THE most important video I have ever watched. Many people call Still’s take on the history of money and the scam perpetuated by private central banks AND the governments they have bought, for centuries, as conspiracy talk. To me what makes it not a conspiracy is that it is done in plain sight, but most people are so gullible that they cannot believe the governments of the world would allow private individuals to get away something like this. I suppose it is sorta of like trump committing his crimes in plain sight so people will accept it as normal. One remedy for this worldwide scam is The Chicago Plan, which takes the creation and control of the currency out of the hands of private banks, and puts it in the control of government and real market forces. Still’s main point is that the problem with a monetary system is not so much what money is backed by, as it is who controls the currency. https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2012/wp12202.pdf The decade following the onset of the Great Depression was a time of great intellectual ferment in economics, as the leading thinkers of the time tried to understand the apparent failures of the existing economic system. This intellectual struggle extended to many domains, but arguably the most important was the field of monetary economics, given the key roles of private bank behavior and of central bank policies in triggering and prolonging the crisis. VIII. Conclusion » Posted By TOCB On March 20, 2020 @ 12:20 pm One of my daughters is a physician. First off, she tells me that western medical schools DO NOT teach medical school students how to CURE diseases. They only teach them how to TREAT diseases by using DRUGS. And we all know that OFTEN the drugs cause more problems than the diseases do. Eastern medicine teaches students how to cure diseases. Related to COVID-19, she tells me that treatment for all viruses are the same. Basically, you try to stabilize the organs the virus attacks, while at the same time attempting to boost the immune system so the body can kill the virus. There is no cure for influenza. You treat it by treating the coughing, fever and other symptoms, and getting rest and fluids. If you go to the doctor for the flu, they will give you Tamiflu or some other antiviral medication that will lessen the symptoms by ONE DAY. for healthy people. Unhealthy people are just as likely to die from the flu as they are from COVID-19. What seems to make COVID-19 so bad now is the way it spreads. However, its mortality rate is probably no different than other coronaviruses to healthy people. In fact, experts are telling us it is like a MILD case of the flu for healthy people. So until a vaccine is developed, the FIRST defense when you don’t know who is positive, seems to be to boost the immune system of the masses of people. Then, you test EVERYONE to determine who is positive, and keep those people away from others. Testing everyone will take a LONG TIME. » Posted By TOCB On March 20, 2020 @ 7:59 am Well, he certainly brought a lot of attention to himself. I guess if he had a legitimate reason for being out, it didn’t matter how he was dressed? » Posted By TOCB On March 20, 2020 @ 7:36 am I am a Democrat, but you also have to add Senator Feinstein to the list. She said her portfolio is in a blind trust. However, the trust is managed by her husband. Some of the others say they were not directly involved in the trades and that the trades were done by their financial advisors. So the issue is not so much who made the trades, but did they make the trades based on information that the public was not privy to, AND did those who made the trades on behalf of these members of Congress make the same types of trades on behalf of ALL of their clients. If not, WHY? Until a few years ago, insider trading was not illegal for members of Congress, but it was for everyone else. SUPPOSELY, it has been illegal for members of Congress since 2012. » Posted By TOCB On March 20, 2020 @ 7:32 am Another thing this outbreak could expose is the how the world’s central banks and The Bank of International Settlements work. Except for England, the world central banks are privately owned. Since the world went off the gold standard, central banks create money out of thin air and lend it to governments to cover their fiscal deficits. The currency of every nation in the world is backed only by the full faith and credit of the government. What this means is that nations don’t have to borrow money from private central banks AT ALL. For example, in 1913 Congress gave The Federal Reserve control of the U.S. monetary system as well as its economy, and gave them the power to create money. Yes, the cover is that the FOMC sells treasury notes to raise the money. So who is going to buy treasury notes form ANY nation now? Yet, the U.S. government is talking about infusing trillions of dollars into an economy that is almost completely shut down. Exactly how does that work??? » Posted By TOCB On March 18, 2020 @ 5:14 pm COVID-19 is here, and it is dangerous where it is not managed properly. However, it also presents opportunities to examine MANY things about how we live and interact with each other, locally and globally. Some things are glaring, such as healthcare. Universal single payer healthcare insurance is a MUST. Income inequality can be addressed by examining the proper mix between capitalism and publicly funded programs, as well as regulating capitalism so that it benefits ALL people. This should also put to rest the debate between supply-side (trickle-down) economics versus demand-side economics. Free market capitalism is driven by demand, and NOT by the benevolence of wealthy people. The reason every industry in the country will suffer as a result of this pandemic is because it will cause a decline in the demand for goods and services, except those that are related to healthcare. A free market capitalist economy works best when as many people as possible have the resources to purchase goods and services FOR VALUE, as opposed to being exploited and gouged. Capitalism should encourage people to make good products and give good services, while not trying to get so much of a profit from those products and services that the value of them is negative. What is a negative value? Where the cost of the product or service is more than its value to the customers. For a VERY long time in the USA for sure, and probably globally, capitalism has been practiced in an environment of negative value. And since value is a relative commodity, standards must be established to measure reasonable value, as to provide incentives to produce goods and services, while at the same time providing value to customers. » Posted By TOCB On March 18, 2020 @ 6:57 am The debate between Biden and Sanders last night was a total waste of time. It was two old men accusing each other of bad votes they have taken. Of course, one of my pet peeves has been those politicians who held how Bush and republicans abused the 2002 resolution regarding Iraq and WMD, on Hillary Clinton. Last night Sanders brought that up again as something that would reflect that he has superior judgement over Biden. Biden explained that he voted to support Bush going to the U.N. to get weapons inspectors in Iraq to determine the status of WMD. Sanders AND OTHERS say those who voted for the resolution for that reason SHOULD HAVE KNOWN that Bush was lying. My position on that is that we SHOULD be able to trust the President of the United States to tell the truth, especially in decisions that put our men and women in the military in harm’s way. If we can’t trust a President Bush in those situations, why should we trust a President Sanders or a President Obama or any president? The job of American citizens is to elect a person we can trust, especially in decisions about war. Of course, trump is an exception because EVERY word from him is a lie. » Posted By TOCB On March 16, 2020 @ 6:29 am The newspaper reported Trump offered $1bn to Tübingen-based biopharmaceutical company CureVac to secure the vaccine “only for the United States”. This is the kind of “America first” BS trump and republicans promote. “Us foe, and no moe”. It has occurred to me that this outbreak MIGHT be God’s way of telling humans that WE ARE ALL CONNECTED. I have NEVER liked to hear the phrase, “And God bless The United States of America”, at the end of a political speech, ESPECIALLY from people who claimed to be Christians. Christians are taught to ask for God’s blessings for EVERYONE, not just me and mine. » Posted By TOCB On March 16, 2020 @ 6:15 am As many people have said, it is time to forget about trump. We KNOW he only cares about himself and that he is an idiot. Governors are taking control of the safety of their states and healthcare PROVIDERS (not insurance companies) are doing what they need to do to protect Americans, even the dumb ones. » Posted By TOCB On March 16, 2020 @ 6:07 am https://www.thoughtco.com/socialism-vs-capitalism-4768969 cap·i·tal·ism an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. so·cial·ism a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. In a democratic republic, the people are FREE to CHOOSE the TOOLS they use to govern THEMSELVES. Capitalism and socialism are economic tools. They ARE NOT forms of government. The form of government prescribed in our Constitution is a representative democratic republic. Our Constitution does not dictate what economic tools we choose to use to provide for the general welfare of our people. MANY of the programs we use to provide for our society are socialist programs. EVERYONE knows this, and the overwhelming majority of us support these programs. Just to name a few “socialist” programs, our military, police and fire departments, public education, public libraries, highways and bridges and other infrastructure, federal agencies that regulate communication, airports and air travel, food and drug safety, Social Security, medical care for the elderly and the poor, i.e., Medicare and Medicaid. ALL of these things are COLLECTIVELY FUNDED, or one might say funded by the government OR by “socialism”. I am not a Sanders supporter. The person who I thought was best prepared to be president was Elizabeth Warren, who supported many of the programs Sanders supports. If fact, even Joe Biden supports “healthcare as right”, or so he claims. The COVID-19 outbreak has EXPOSED the weakness and ineffectiveness of a private healthcare insurance system. Hopefully, WHOEVER we choose as our next president will sign the law that a Democratic Congress passes to provide the best universal single payer health insurance program for the American people. Healthcare, like our military and public education and other public obligations, is NOT ABOUT POLITICS. It is about people taking care of people. The reason EVERY OTHER industrialized nation in the world has some form of universal single payer health insurance program is because it is the ONLY cost effective and efficient way to provide healthcare for ALL of the people. Health insurance DOES NOT provide healthcare. It FUNDS healthcare. As intelligent people, we SHOULD be able to fund our healthcare provider system in the most effective way that we the people determines that works for ALL of us, rather than being greedy and selfish and saying, “my plan works for me, so I don’t care if anyone else has health insurance or not”. THAT IS SHAMEFUL! » Posted By TOCB On March 14, 2020 @ 4:34 am cap·i·tal·ism » Posted By TOCB On March 14, 2020 @ 3:55 am I just heard an interview on MSNBC that there are enough tests available through university health departments and private companies to do thousands of tests a day in the USA. The problem is it hasn’t been determined how the tests are going to be PAID FOR. In other words, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! Every other industrialized nation in the world has a component of universal healthcare that eliminates the profit motive, so that is not a problem. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR INSURANCE PLAN NOW??? » Posted By TOCB On March 13, 2020 @ 11:28 am Although COVID-19 has exposed the supply-chain risk for medical supplies, the risk also applies to other essential products. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/25/health/coronavirus-fda-drug-supply/index.html Concerns about the US dependence on medical products from China have been bubbling since long before the coronavirus. These concerns were discussed at length at a hearing before the US China Economic and Security Review Commission in July. Rosemary Gibson, a senior adviser with the Hastings Center and the author of “China RX: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine,” cautioned against American reliance on any one country for medical products. » Posted By TOCB On March 13, 2020 @ 9:00 am Trump is an idiot AND he is a crook. He is an existential threat to the USA, and because the USA is an important part of the global community, that makes trump a threat to the entire world. Because of the power of his office and the fact that half of Congress is protecting him, trump and republicans are currently the biggest threat to the world. » Posted By TOCB On March 13, 2020 @ 8:06 am Stay safe Kalima. » Posted By TOCB On March 13, 2020 @ 7:58 am You make very good points. However, I am not suggesting that we test over 300 million people, but I am suggesting we quarantine over 300 million people. I would reserve testing to an as needed basis. Not everyone will contract the virus and the majority of those who do will recover because of their bodies immune system. The issue is that everyone is a potential threat to those who are not healthy enough to recover. It makes sense to me that if we quarantine pockets of people at different times and places until the incubation period of the virus expires, the threat to the entire population is mitigated. Of course, that does not mean that there is no further threat, but it would become more manageable. Once someone recovers from the virus, studies show that most of them are no longer contagious, although some are. There is always a threat since viruses can mutate into different forms. The rate of contagion and the fatal consequences to some people make this a very dangerous virus. However, if experts are allowed to work together, I feel like it can be controlled. To me the paramount issue is to protect the most vulnerable in this period of high contagion and to accomplish that we need to ensure as many of the general population as possible is not contagious. Other than mass quarantines as was done in Wuhan and Italy, I don’t know how we do that. Scientists have found that the coronavirus can stay infectious for days on some surfaces. They also discovered that the coronavirus can be shed by people before they develop symptoms and can linger in the body for many weeks. » Posted By TOCB On March 13, 2020 @ 7:57 am The supermarkets around the Houston area are running short of fresh and canned meats, as well as paper towels and toilet paper. Of course, hand sanitizers have been gone for weeks. » Posted By TOCB On March 12, 2020 @ 5:45 pm If the word “socialism” wasn’t so bad in the USA, the government could cover those who don’t have enough money to make it past a social distancing period or a mass quarantine period. It is a VERY bold move, but along with that and completely shutting the market down for a few weeks would seem to inject some confidence that someone with at least half a brain is actually in charge of the government. » Posted By TOCB On March 12, 2020 @ 5:03 pm What am I missing here? I am not a doctor or an epidemiologist, BUT if the incubation period of the virus is 5.1 days, rather than waiting to quarantine people AFTER they text positive, why not quarantine EVERYONE for 14 days, and then go back to business as usual, except for quarantining people arriving from other countries? I suppose the quarantine periods could be scheduled so as not to have everyone quarantined at the same time. So depending on how large the population is, it might take a month or so to quarantine everyone in a given city or reqion. Meanwhile back on the ranch, we could speed up development of a vaccine. Results: » Posted By TOCB On March 12, 2020 @ 4:58 pm I don’t believe the DOW fell by 2,000 points on ANY day during the 2008 financial meltdown. If it closes 2,000 points down today it will be the second consecutive day. WHY haven’t any of these geniuses SUGGESTED that the market temporarily closes? How much of the market decline is due to short-selling, which Obama banned during the meltdown in 2008? The market decline has nothing to do with the financial performance of the companies listed on the exchanges. Actually though, it rarely does. Trading should be suspended on all exchanges IMMEDIATELY! » Posted By TOCB On March 12, 2020 @ 7:11 am Most people who voted for or against trump, knew he was a crook, but it was a “binary choice” between him and Hillary. Although most people voted for Hillary, “strategically” the electoral vote went to the crook.
» Posted By TOCB On March 12, 2020 @ 6:50 am Who knows how this really began? Call it cynicism, but it seems odd to me that shortly after this outbreak comes to light, Putin decides to break from cooperating with OPEC in managing crude production to shore up the price, to starting a crude oil price war with Saudi Arabia in order to drive shale producers in the USA out of business. Additionally, what happens to the tariffs the USA has been imposing on other nations, including China, when all of the shelves in U.S. stores are empty? ALWAYS follow the money. Further, RIGHT NOW at least one of the reasons there have been only about 5,000 tests for COVID-19 in the USA is because we don’t have test kits. WHY??? It is my understanding that trump has refused to get test kits from China or elsewhere and have tasked the CDC or whatever agency is responsible for kits, to come up with our own kits. And did you notice trump’s attitude when he was reading the teleprompter, basically confessing that he has been lying about calling the virus a hoax? He had NO emotion. He acted like kid who the teacher was making to read something he didn’t want to read. Trump is an idiot, and WE are idiots if we are depending on trump to solve ANY problem. One of my daughters who lives in LA was here in Texas for Christmas, and when she arrived she and her son had what we thought was the flu, and everyone who came in contact with them got it. She was telling me the other day that she thinks THAT may have actually been COVID-19. It has been reported that the virus began in China at least in November and there were no travel restrictions for anyone until recently. I had mentioned this a few days ago, but this highlights how risky it is for the USA or any nation to import most of their products. In the USA we are not prepared to gear-up to make most of the products we need. What is going to happen when shelves are empty and we can’t get stuff from Amazon??? » Posted By TOCB On March 12, 2020 @ 6:37 am I totally agree! And the AARP should call the trump administration out on this. There is a HUGE difference between telling people over 60 to “think about” flying on airplanes, and “DO NOT” fly on airplanes. It is amazing how people with stellar reputations BEFORE they are involved with trump, change their values after they become involved with trump. Everyone was praising Dr. Anthony Fauci for his integrity and dedication to his profession before he joined the trump team. However, Dr. Fauci was on several Sunday news shows advising people over 60 to “think about” not flying, in spite of the CDC’s advice to “NOT FLY”. What is Fauci motivation in giving FALSE advice? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvhvZS1rUCQ This video is 7:51 minutes. At about the 2:50 minute mark Fauci is asked if seniors should fly. His answer? They should “THINK ABOUT IT”!!! I have searched the CDC website and I don’t find ANY information related to seniors flying on airplanes. » Posted By TOCB On March 10, 2020 @ 6:04 am The irony is how republicans promoted for over 25 years that Hillary Clinton was a liar, and that is one reason she wasn’t “likeable”. Apparently, what is more “likeable” is someone who is at least a million times more of a liar than Hillary Clinton is. In fact, in seems that a prerequisite to being a republican is to be have a Phd. in lying. » Posted By TOCB On March 7, 2020 @ 5:30 am Mika Brzenzinski wrote a book that began a movement about women knowing their value. It’s no secret that women have long been overlooked and under-compensated, and while great strides have made in recent decades, the value placed on women versus their male counterparts is still consistently unbalanced. InKnowing Your Value, bestselling author Mika Brzezinski takes an in-depth look at how women today achieve their deserved recognition and financial worth. Of course the very same thing can be said about black people, both men and women, but that is another story. It appears that the value of women in the USA hasn’t quite achieved the level of President of The United States of America. Women is the largest voting block in the USA. There are at least THOUSANDS of women who are qualified to be POTUS, and at least hundreds who are prepared to be POTUS, RIGHT NOW. The ONLY reason there is not a woman president TODAY is because women either don’t know their value, or they think old white men have more value than they do. Even old CORRUPT white men. This is what a Bernie Sanders surrogate said about a woman as “Vice President”. Rep. Ro Khanna, a national campaign co-chair for Bernie Sanders, on Friday called Elizabeth Warren “an outstanding choice” to become Sanders vice president. The California Democrat told MSNBC he would “absolutely” advise Sanders to name a woman as his vice presidential pick, and singled out the Vermont senator’s colleague from Massachusetts when asked who specifically he would recommend. “Maybe Sen. Warren,” Khanna said. “I mean, I’ve said Senator Warren would be an outstanding choice. There will be other outstanding choices.” I agree with Joy Reid when she says when women decide there should be a woman president, they will INSIST on it.

During this time a large number of leading U.S. macroeconomists supported a fundamental proposal for monetary reform that later became known as the Chicago Plan, after its strongest proponent, professor Henry Simons of the University of Chicago. It was also supported, and brilliantly summarized, by Irving Fisher of Yale University, in Fisher (1936). The key feature of this plan was that it called for the separation of the monetary and credit functions of the banking system, first by requiring 100% backing of deposits by government-issued money, and second by ensuring that the financing of new bank credit can only take place through earnings that have been retained in the form of government-issued money, or through the borrowing of existing government-issued money from non-banks, but not through the creation of new deposits, ex nihilo, by banks.
Fisher (1936) claimed four major advantages for this plan. First, preventing banks from creating their own funds during credit booms, and then destroying these funds during subsequent contractions, would allow for a much better control of credit cycles, which were perceived to be the major source of business cycle fluctuations. Second, 100% reserve backing would completely eliminate bank runs. Third, allowing the government to issue money directly at zero interest, rather than borrowing that same money from banks at interest, would lead to a reduction in the interest burden on government finances and to a dramatic reduction of (net) government debt, given that irredeemable government-issued money represents equity in the commonwealth rather than debt. Fourth, given that money creation would no longer require the simultaneous creation of mostly private debts on bank balance sheets, the economy could see a dramatic reduction not only of government debt but also of private debt levels.
This paper revisits the Chicago Plan, a proposal for fundamental monetary reform that was put forward by many leading U.S. economists at the height of the Great Depression. Fisher (1936), in his brilliant summary of the Chicago Plan, claimed that it had four major advantages, ranging from greater macroeconomic stability to much lower debt levels throughout the economy. In this paper we are able to rigorously evaluate his claims, by applying the recommendations of the Chicago Plan to a state-of-the-art monetary DSGE model that contains a fully microfounded and carefully calibrated model of the current U.S. financial system. The critical feature of this model is that the economy’s money supply is created by banks, through debt, rather than being created debt-free by the government.
Our analytical and simulation results fully validate Fisher’s (1936) claims. The Chicago Plan could significantly reduce business cycle volatility caused by rapid changes in banks’ attitudes towards credit risk, it would eliminate bank runs, and it would lead to an instantaneous and large reduction in the levels of both government and private debt. It would accomplish the latter by making government-issued money, which represents equity in the commonwealth rather than debt, the central liquid asset of the economy, while banks concentrate on their strength, the extension of credit to investment projects that require monitoring and risk management expertise. We find that the advantages of the
Chicago Plan go even beyond those claimed by Fisher. One additional advantage is large steady state output gains due to the removal or reduction of multiple distortions, including interest rate risk spreads, distortionary taxes, and costly monitoring of macroeconomically unnecessary credit risks. Another advantage is the ability to drive steady state inflation to zero in an environment where liquidity traps do not exist, and where monetarism becomes feasible and desirable because the government does in fact control broad monetary aggregates. This ability to generate and live with zero steady state inflation is an important result, because it answers the somewhat confused claim of opponents of an exclusive government monopoly on money issuance, namely that such a monetary system would be highly inflationary. There is nothing in our theoretical framework to support this claim. And as discussed in Section II, there is very little in the monetary history of ancient societies and Western nations to support it either.

“The centralization of the global supply chain of medicines in a single country,” Gibson testified in July, “makes it vulnerable to interruption, whether by mistake or design.”
There were 181 confirmed cases with identifiable exposure and symptom onset windows to estimate the incubation period of COVID-19. The median incubation period was estimated to be 5.1 days (95% CI, 4.5 to 5.8 days), and 97.5% of those who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days (CI, 8.2 to 15.6 days) of infection. These estimates imply that, under conservative assumptions, 101 out of every 10 000 cases (99th percentile, 482) will develop symptoms after 14 days of active monitoring or quarantine.
Limitation:
Publicly reported cases may overrepresent severe cases, the incubation period for which may differ from that of mild cases.
Conclusion:
This work provides additional evidence for a median incubation period for COVID-19 of approximately 5 days, similar to SARS. Our results support current proposals for the length of quarantine or active monitoring of persons potentially exposed to SARS-CoV-2, although longer monitoring periods might be justified in extreme cases.
