Coronavirus

So I have been glumly watching as the Australian government provides financial handouts to just about everybody. None of which I was eligible for as I am currently overseas. But then today I learned of something new.

I am going to be able to withdraw $20,000 of my superannuation tax free. Happy with that.

Is anybody else also going to profit from the deaths of all these boomers?

I don't like You mate, You should feel the same.

That's nice.

I have also noticed several very reasonably priced properties appear on the market with statements such as "subject to probate". I guess opportunities are going to come of this situation.

lol boomers arent people amirite guys? amirite?

I guess they should have treated me like a human being when I was a kid if they wanted to be treated like human beings when I grew up.

It appears there are few Australians who show concern for the welfare of the older generations amid this crises. Just look at how they ignore the request to self quarantine. If they wanted us to care I guess they should have treated us better.

But enough about the boomers. What about the economy? How do you all suppose this will affect our futures.

Are Boomers a monolith?

The Bloomberg article linked above cribs from the book The Great Influenza. The asshole journalist doesnt even credit the source - making them plagiarists. I hate Bloomberg Media with the heat of a thousand suns.

Get the book at epdf.pub.com or check it out at archive.org

Taiwan warned the WHO about the virus in late December. WHO ignored the warning because China refuses to allow Taiwan membership in the WHO.

What is "cribs". And what was "cribbed"?

Crib;
a small theft
plagiarism

All the primary original source material contained in the Bloomberg article.

Shall I post the defenitions of "source" "primary" "original" and what those words mean when "conjoined" and placed in a "proper" sentence? Because I really dont feel like wet nursing a "churl" when having an "adult" conversation.

I've literally never heard anyone use that word before, holy christ relax man.

I still don't know what you're specifically calling plagarism, everything that's said in that article about the Spanish Flu strikes me as something that the book you're referring to did not invent. 80% of that article is quotes that people have said and the other 20% is things like "it happened in three waves" and "the first wasn't as deadly as the other two." To call any of that plagiarism when that's common knowledge is pretty dubious. Unless you're talking about something else the Bloomberg article says, in which case please point that out because I'm not seeing it.

If those quotes are from that book, the article does not need to cite the book's quotes. They're attributing the quotes to those who said them directly and that's totally fine.
