President Trump goes to Davos [KT]

swizdgtrr.jpg

Swiss dog listens to President Trump's address

Well, while we were grappling with domestic issues and the news about the Wuhan virus this past week, President Trump went to Davos. The young dog above does not live in Davos, but the normal people of Switzerland, and maybe some of their pets, seem to keep track of what is going on in Davos. Some trends seem to have emerged this year among the movers and shakers who assembled there. A piece in Politico suggested that the Davos crowd did not get too excited about President Trump this year.

Conversation was instead dominated by three seething conflicts that many participants see as existential in their long-term implications for the global order.

-- There is the conflict over the future of capitalism.

-- There is the conflict over the future of technology.

-- Above all, there is the conflict over the future of the planet.

On the "future of the planet", it is remarkable that Greta Thunberg was considered to be the person of the moment. Perhaps one reason the Politico piece took such a ho-hum attitude about Trump is that he highlighted the failed predictions of climate activists. (h/t J.J. Sefton)

Then he said this:

We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country, or eradicate our liberty. America will always be the proud, strong, and unyielding bastion of freedom . . .

Sgt. Mom had a nice piece on how environmentalists now "make the most perfectly hissable villains, because they almost invariably make matters worse in the long run."

On the "future of capitalism", in a post about whether professional economists are idiots, here is an interesting statement from Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Wharton MBA, mathematical finance PhD and author of Skin in the Game and The Black Swan:

The professional economist is the specialist who is instrumental in designing various measures of government interference with business.

I will leave it to people who have more background in economics than I do to sort out the actual post.

The folks at Instapundit kept track of the doings in Davos with several links. A sampling:

Don Surber: Trump's remarkable remarks at Davos.

President Donald John Trump's address at Davos this morning was a lesson on governance by a man who entered politics less than 5 years ago.

Our president said, "America's newfound prosperity is undeniable, unprecedented and unmatched anywhere in the world. America achieved this stunning turnaround not by making minor changes to a handful of policies, but by adopting a whole new approach centered entirely on the well-being of the American worker."

That is incredible. A billionaire spoke to fellow billionaires, fellow world leaders, and academics not about the swell digs they were staying at or the lush cuisine they enjoyed.

President Trump talked about actually serving the people who entrusted them with power.

Walter Russell Mead:

There is something inescapably ridiculous about a gathering this self-important; certainly Marie Antoinette and her friends dressing up as shepherdesses to celebrate the simple life has nothing on the more than 100 billionaires descending, often by private jet, on an exclusive Swiss ski resort for four days of ostentatious hand-wringing about the problems of the poor and the dangers of climate change. This year an earnest young aide at registration told me that, to reduce the event's carbon footprint, no paper maps of the town were being distributed; one could almost feel the waves of relief from the nearby Alpine glaciers at this sign of green progress.

Yet smirk as one may, and sometimes as one must, this year's WEF arrived at a difficult time for the Davoisie--those who are at home in the thin air of this global gathering. Leaders the world over are now having to come to grips with a new age of populism, nationalism and protectionism. . .

14 "But to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the
perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse,"
Trump continued. "They are the heirs of yesterday's foolish
fortune-tellers - and I have them and you have them, and we all have
them, and they want to see us do badly, but we don't let that happen.
They predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in
the '70s, and an end of oil in the 1990s. These alarmists always
demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform, and
control every aspect of our lives."

Roger Whittaker vs Slim Whitman?

19 On Taleb. This is *excellent* ... a friend of mine has been searching for the right answer to this question and this must be pretty close:
==========
Taleb, a Wall Street trader prior to his writing and academic career,
echoes Franklin's emphasis on direct experience, arguing that capitalism
isn't an ideology or system but a set of mutually agreeable
arrangements worked out over the centuries through trial and error by
market participants who bear the full consequences of their decisions.

>>This order responds to reports that personnel of the FederalBureau of Investigation(FBI) provided false information to the National Security Division(NSD ) of the Department of Justice, and withheld material information from NSD which was detrimental to the FBI s case, in connection with four applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) for authority to conduct electronic surveillance of a U. S. citizen named Carter W . Page. When FBI personnel misleadNSD in the ways described above, they equally mislead the FISC.

(Looks at story in sidebar) her daddy should buy her a kitten.

I roomed with a transfer student from Switzerland while in college. There were 8 of us actually berthed by twos into four rooms with a shared kitchen and bathroom. One evening Sigmund was in one of the rooms while a guy was watching a black and white WWII flick. "Oh, you're killing those bad Germans again", remarked Siggy. I told him "Someone had to". And this really is the story of America and Americans. Stepping up to do what needs done.

Steyn is terrible on the radio. Terrible.

I tried listening to him the other day and he was working into a rant, but couldn't find the word and kept doing *vocal pauses* which anyone with training in radio says DO NOT DO.

"When you get to, AH, the AH, the AH, AH, AH impeachment..."

Rush knows how to fill a pause. You can drum, rustle paper, but blurting out "AH!" really is annoying.

Rush does do vocal pauses, but only on purpose, to build anticipation, usually before he says something a little rique.

Steyn is fun to read, but he stumbles in the live format.

If you watch CSpan during the recess times, the hosts mention at least once that the Senate is providing the audio and video because the Senate owns the cameras. Obviously they're getting phone calls and emails asking why the "CSpan cameras" aren't showing things from other angles.

Can't do that on radio unless you're Paul Harvey.

Dead air is verboten.

Hence, the little finger drum, or Rush's signature rustling of paper.

It says something that even phoning it in, Rush has first-class skills behind the mic. Steyn also used to be a disk jockey, and he's fine when he's hopping from topic to topic or doing an interview, but when he tries to ad lib, he fails.

At least they understand that yammering on when it's clear you have nothing to say is not a recipe for success. The Dems don't.

271 The problem with economics and climatologists is they impose their ignorance onto topics too complex to be understood. Both Chaos and Complexity theory address this idea--some things are so complex that no matter how much information you have or how much processing power, they cannot be understood well enough for meaningful predictions. A lesser know field, Catastrophe Theory, adds an additional set of math to consider--those things which appear stable are only stable within tightly defined constraints. A single variable whose tolerance is exceeded can bring the whole thing down in a second. This is the core of conservatism--once something has been discovered that works, for the love of G-d don't mess with it. It is probably the result of millions of trials and errors.

It was good to finally hear from the president's lawyers today , but there is a long way to go and while today's presentation was compelling, we need to hear more evidence and testimony from eyewitnesses, and while these details are being worked out, I will withhold judgement as to the President's guilt or innocence.

289 >>>My dog, who has been suffering from severe back pain in her lumbar region, just got up from her bed, went outside, wandered around the yard a bit, had a pee, and came back inside and lay down again. All without being prompted. She appears to walk almost normally again. Good sign.


My lab mix had a deteriating herniated disk in her lower back. She was way up there in age though, nearly 20yo before she passed. Like us, she had good days and bad. Made the most of the good when they came with play and short walks, like a puppy again, helped her get around out on the bad days.


There's a test the vet or you can do to see what stage any nerve damage might be at. Kind of like the rubber mallet and the knee for us. You take the dog's rear paw and gently try to curl it over longitudinally so it's top is touching the floor. A dog with no spinal nerve damage won't keep it there for even a fraction of a second. Based on that test they can prescribe steroids and other things that help a bit.

I think there's lots of smoking gun smell around both of those guys. Schiff, it's not just that he's bought and paid for by foreign governments, which he is, it's his sexual interests that are likely to come out sooner or later.

I think they'd like him to take Feinsteen's spot. Him or somebody else who's fully on board with bending over for China.

Frankly though, I can't see him coming out of all this as someone anyone wants near to power. He's worse than Anthony Weener, in that regard. Or John Edwards. Egad, the reprobates in that party... it's astonishing, really, except when one realizes, they elected Bill twice, and really really really tried as hard as they could to get Hillory elected.

Look if you're a chemical engineer, you just assume your colleague in atmospheric physics is doing his job correctly, you can't take the time to review everything or know all the stuff they are doing. So you take their word for it.

This ties in with a phenomenon I've observed, when a person expends all of their intellectual energy in service to a sinful desire or attitude. They may have a lot of potential, but it's all tied up in that one thing that consumes them and there's no brainpower left over for logic and common sense. In fact, logic and common sense are the enemies because they contribute to cognitive dissonance.

April? When was the Ukraine phone call?

You know, what everyone knows, but I guess they can't say, is that impeachment of the President should be a LAST RESORT kind of thing. It should be what the other side reluctantly does, when they think the country is being seriously harmed by the President, as he continues to operate with impunity, recklessly damaging the nation.

Which of course isn't the case here... and no, it really wasn't the case with Clitton either. I mean, as dangerous as it was to have Clitton as President, they tried him for stuff that was technically illegal, but really wasn't the high crime needed to bring him to trial.

I rag on him because he was a shitty QB, who lucked into a position of success, by the team around him.

And if you don't understand why it's important to have a QB who can think on the field, I don't know what to tell you.

Eli couldn't do that. His brother could, and so could ALL the truly great QBs. At this point, now that he's retired, and I don't give a shit about the NFL anymore, I'll acknowledge he seems like a nice guy. But he was always a mediocre QB. At best.

But if you look at Eli's stats, not the accumulated numbers, but the numbers behind the numbers, he really only had a couple decent seasons. The rest were mediocre or downright terrible.

And Coughlin was a football genius. He knew what the heck he was doing, and lost his job because honestly? Manning couldn't hack it anymore. Coughlin didn't become stupid. That's not how it works.

The entire property tax paradigm is broken. The only taxes that should apply to real property should be to provide payment for services that benefit such property, or for capital expenditures (in the form of bond issues) that enhance the value of such property. And they should not be based on "assessed value", but on tangibles, like land area, and square footage of habitable dwelling space.

School operating expenses should not come out of property tax revenue, but school building capital costs should, by way of bond issues. (build a nicer school building, you attract better teachers, and attract a better class of homeowner, too, at least in theory)

Eli was great. HOF? I don't know, but he won 2 Super Bowls, never missed a game due to injury on 16 seasons and never embarrassed himself, his family, his team or his country.

It's not his fault that he he played for a team with a lousy line on both sides of the ball for the past few years or that he played for a team that never was an offensive powerhouse.

Guys like Tony Romo looked more alpha and slung the ball around, but he never won a playoff game and in fact, always lost when the game was on the line.
Manning didn't.

These are the perpetual arguments that never get settled. Like I said, if you look inside the numbers, and not at the accumulated stats, his overall career is mediocre, and he was never an "above average" QB except possibly for a year or two.

I'm not sure how anyone measures the relative merits of a coach in any sport, other than the bottom line. Coughlin was a winner, for many years, and then he stopped being a winner, which is what most New Yorkers remember. He stopped being a winner at roughly the same time Eli went from being a mediocre QB to being atrocious. I don't think that's coincidence.

Of course, if Romo is one's comp, for career analysis, you're already saying the guy's not great.

I like to use baseball for comparison, because the numbers tend to be more easily understandable. So let's say you are a shortstop playing in Cleveland in the 60s or 70s (I'm not talking about anyone specifically). Let's say you hit .275 every ear, knock 15-20 homers every year, and play good defense.

Now, let's say you play for the Red Sox in the 2000s, and hit .300 every year, smash 30-35 homers a year... and play mediocre defense.

Oh, and you were probably juicing.

Who was the better player?

Objectively, we know, but our minds don't often let us see what's right in front of us. We get seduced by the numbers.

559 These are the perpetual arguments that never get settled. Like I said, if you look inside the numbers, and not at the accumulated stats, his overall career is mediocre, and he was never an "above average" QB except possibly for a year or two.

I'm not sure how anyone measures the relative merits of a coach in any sport, other than the bottom line. Coughlin was a winner, for many years, and then he stopped being a winner, which is what most New Yorkers remember. He stopped being a winner at roughly the same time Eli went from being a mediocre QB to being atrocious. I don't think that's coincidence.
Posted by: BurtTC at January 25, 2020 01:42 PM (hku12)

I understand your points but football is an entirely different sport than baseball, where if a guy hits .300 and plays good defense on one team, he's likely to do the same for another team. Even great pitchers who have less-than-stellar W-L records are cut slack if they have a low ERA throughout their career with crappy teams.
Football is different. QBs have to rely so much on their lines, their backs and their receivers. A guy misses a block, another guy drops a perfectly thrown pass. Or your best, most dependable receiver breaks an ankle--or shoots himself in the leg. Then, they often play for shitty coaches or offensive co-ordinators.

Manning had some shitty coaches the last couple years of his career, a crappy line, talented but flighty and often hurt receivers. He lost something, sure, but no one around him gave him any help.

Right, I know. QBs are quite dependent on the team around them... but then, so it is the other way around as well.

Funny thing about baseball stats though, it really DOES often depend on team, when it comes to defensive numbers. If you have a high strikeout pitching staff, your SS defense numbers are going to be lower. Or if you have a revolving door of crappy second basemen... or the field is not well maintained. All sorts of factors come into play.

And of course, if you play in a bandbox, your offensive numbers will be higher.

Present some evidence from a credible source then. Not "it could happen" but that it did.

What do you mean by "the Chinese government"? Xi, the central comittee?

What happens in China, including this case apparently, is that *local* officials cover things up to avoid getting their asses kicked by the higher ups.

When the problem got sufficiently important for Xi to step in, he ordered a complete shutdown of travel and cancelled the biggest holiday in the country. What has Trump done? Reassured everyone that the CDC was on top of things. So far, this appears to be correct.

I posted a link from a non-chinese source with a complete explanation of the history of the outbreak that agrees for the most part with all the crap the daily-mail has been publishing for the past week.

Your response was "chinese propaganda" ... now, that may be true but source of my article was not a chinese outlet (I checked after you made this accusation).

Yep. The asymptomatic period is 14 days. That's the problem. It can be spread via small water drops in the air after a cough and get in the eyes. The Chinese government has admitted this. So that's a problem when you can infect people for 14 days without showing symptoms.
Sounds extremely nasty and I have no doubt China would entomb the entire Wuhan area, but they instead worried about containing the news rather than the virus so it got a big headstart.

It's interesting to watch what China is doing and saying at an accelerated speed now. 41 claimed dead with 1300 known infected with a quarantine of 56 million people. That dog doesn't hunt.

Acquittal will be by a healthy margin. "Free votes" for Dems voting "not guilty" aren't even needed, but may occur - if any Dems actually think they need it.

No consequences seem likely for Dems participating in this disgrace. House side, might be different story. Impeachment farce might play in re-election of freshmen in "Trump districts". More likely though that simple "presidential effect" on turnout in those districts will be as important (in unseating them) as any specific marginal impact of impeachment votes.

621 Exactly which "witnesses" did not testify or give depositions to the House? Which ones? List of names, please.

Can senators read transcripts or comprehend video?

This is entirely aside from the fundamental point that nothing particularly interesting and nothing the least bit illegal or improper occurred.

The Senate needs a repeat of what is available already in the record? Idiocy.

I have an idea for a witness. A panel of constitutional lawyers who can confirm, again and again, that disputes over executive privilege are historically handled by the courts (dubious in itself, but the "norm"). The House carefully/deliberately avoided judicial action (even withdrawing one action to avoid it). So the panel could be asked how the novel concept of "obstruction of Congress" squared with the House's careful avoidance of the accepted path to pursue their claim.

This is the mark of a conspiracy theorist. Those figures are the only ones available. If you want to make up numbers (or quote others who do) then you'll be rightly labeled a conspiracy theorist.

What "1300 known infected" means is cases for which there is paper-work. Many reputable people speculate that the actual number of infected is as high 10,000 but there is no *evidence* for any particular number so no-one bothers to report one.

The daily-mail has published highly irresponsible articles on 3 month old "scientific speculation" that a corona-virus outbreak could kill 65M people in a year:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7925475

That kind of paper requires all sorts of guesses at parameters in a model based on no data at all.

So I ignored such trash.

So far there is NO *evidence* that the chinese government is lying about the figures in this outbreak. Of course the CPP lies "about everything" but you can prove anything from that and your speculation is not going to convince anyone rationale.

Huh, you might have missed the use of the word "similar" not the word "same", which you used. Different words, different meanings.

You should give the Canadians a heads-up about the shipping dates because they are under the impression that both viruses were shipped to China March 31, 2019, but you know better.

675 "As the mysterious coronavirus spreads and prompting U.S. health officials to screen thousands for signs of the disease a Northwestern University professor is leading a multipronged effort to try to stop it in its tracks.

Karla Satchell, a professor of microbiology-immunology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, is leading a team of U.S. and Canadian researchers to examine the atomic structure of the virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, in the Hubei province. Satchell leads the Center for Structural Genomics of Infectious Diseases, a consortium of nine labs at eight schools collaborating on this effort.


Other institutions in the consortium are University of Chicago, Purdue University, Washington University, University of Virginia, University of Calgary, UT Southwestern Medical Center and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in San Diego.

Satchell said the consortium, in place since 2007, functions as a sort of rapid response research operation that can mobilize immediately to quickly find solutions for public health emergencies.We are here specifically for this; Satchell said in an interview Friday. If there is a crisis like this, the last thing you want is for the (National Institutes of Health) to say, let's put out a call for grants and take seven months to review them. We are here and we have entirely trained staff. We are able to pivot almost immediately to respond.

678 Though coronavirus may be new to the general public, but Satchell said infectious disease researchers at the center already had projects in place to better understand the proteins of similar viruses. Both SARS and MERS are types of coronaviruses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The proteins in this new virus are highly similar to those of SARS, Satchell said.

679 "The professional economist is the specialist who is instrumental in

right ... the amateur (NeverTrump) economist that cries "Free Trade will bring global Utopia" is also such a specialist, in his own mind.


Our Government formed to create a more perfect union, to secure the blessings of liberty. Part of that has made government get involved in the globalist trade regime, since we protect workers from slavery and limit pollution to protect the citizenry, and that cost gets passed on, as does the (essential to liberty) cost of our military, other services.


Globalists escape the cost of securing those blessings, by using slaves and polluting in China, which cares not a wit about human rights or the sovereign rights of a more perfect union. Government does have a big role in our economy and many public efforts toward a functional society. But we must elect public servants that respect the constitution, not a commie mafia intent on totalitarian centralized control.

Who said corona virus? No one said there was a corona virus other than you. The other virus is similar to the corona virus.

You know that word?

Besides, the issue you were seeking confirmation of was that the viruses were shipped March 31, 2019.

Especially since they all wear the same kind of form-fitting pants. I've watched curling for decades, and it wasn't like that up until maybe a decade or so ago.

I also recall when most Canadian curlers playing at the major tournaments (men and women) were people who had other jobs. "Curler" was not a full-time job like it can be today. That also meant there were a lot more overweight curlers. A few of the best Canadian curlers back in the 80s were obese.

Posted by: Enquiring Minds Want to Know at January 25, 2020 04:35 PM (gDKGD)

743 A Washington times article that has been memory holed the last few hours said considering it's flu season:

Basically they are saying its weird to have found this to be a novel virus so fast. Its so uncommon, how could they have done this? Its an oddity

And yet scientists are saying it's already been cataloged and logged as shown above. Can't have it both ways. Oh and the level 4 bioweapon research and development lab was 8.6 miles down the street from the open wet seafood and animal market, where it was found.

I'm not trying to win an argument. Dismissing the facts that the ChiComs have developed this in a lab, level 4 bio security and decontamination isn't up to par in China, and the Chinese Government was so quick to identify the virus which was novel and unknown yet cataloged and logged so people could study it. Cataloged and logged meaning it was man made in 2018-2019.

Literally logged and cataloged so people could figure out what it was by outsiders, yet novel and rare the Chinese caught and indemnified it so quickly in flu season. Crazy. It's not like they devolved a strain for human to human in 2018 that was published.

Open markets that sell fresh seafood and animals. Like the one that was 8.6 miles down.the street from the only level 4 bioweapons research and development in the country. The one that created something very similar literally in 2018 and published it, Human to human, and that makes it a weapon.

I assumed that your agreement with SD implied it. If not then we have no argument. He appears to have implied it again in his sign-off post 743:"Dismissing the facts that the ChiComs have developed this in a lab"I dispute that this is a "fact". A ChiCom lab uploaded a sequence in 2018 marked as being from a bat. That does not mean "developed".In 735 he asserts various % similarity and"uses the same cell entry receptor, ACE2, as SARS"Well, doh. That's why it infects humans. But none of this proves that it wasn't a mutation in the wild --- as most experts seem to believe at the moment.
