風評被害が出ている 2月19日(水)

Diecinueve de Febrero (Miercoles)
 先週のバレンタインデーはどこもかしこも混んでいたそうですが、ある系統の店だけは暇だったそうです。それは中華レストラン。その店は和食と中華が一緒になっていますが、ここ最近、売り上げがかなり落ちているそうです。
 そういえば、2週間前にゴルフができなくて、飲茶に行きましたが、11時に行って6割の客入り、12時になっても6割の客入りでした。売り上げ4割減? コロナウィルスの影響としか思えませんが、TVの報道でロンドンの中華レストランが売り上げ半分になっているというのを見ましたが、アメリカでも同じことが起きています。
 別に、中華レストランに行ったからといって、ウィルスをもらうわけではありませんが、なんとなく不潔な感じがするのが嫌なのでしょう、まさに風評被害です。
 航空券もかなり下げています。アメリカ発日本行、いまなら格安。座席が埋まらないと赤字ですから、埋めるために$499とか出してくるのではないかと思っています。
 日本では、人が集まるのが危険、となり飲食業に影響が出始めています。飲み屋は暇、ゴルフもこのまま行くと、「無観客試合」になりそうです。
 あるマラソン大会は中止に追い込まれました、次は何? 全国で感染の情報が拡がる中、「用事ないなら家から出るな」の雰囲気が出ています。

 Costco活用法
Slide 3 of 36: Most Costco locations offer gas stations. These can be dramatically cheaper than traditional stations which actually have to make money selling you gas. Lines, however, can be long and the service is no frills. Fill up anyway because the savings at the pump alone can pay for your membership.ALSO READ: Is a Costco Membership Worth It Just for Gas?ガソリンは他よりも格段に安い
Slide 4 of 36: Costco has a really low-cost food court where you can eat lunch for a couple of dollars. It makes sense to plan a visit around a meal or at least a snack. You can also fill up on free samples most days (though the haul is usually better on the weekends).フードコートも激安、我が家はたまに土曜日にピザ$1.99
Slide 9 of 36: Costco has a travel service. It lets members book trips at prices that are sometimes big deals. The best prices tend to be on vacation packages that involve airfare and hotel stays. You should also look for deals on theme park packages as this is one of the few places that regularly offers them.ALSO READ: Does Disney Need Another Florida Theme Park?旅行で使う人も多い、団体のばら売りで安い
Slide 10 of 36: Many Costco locations have attached liquor stores that offer deals on name brands and even better prices on house brands. In many cases, the house brand beverages equal or exceed the quality of better-known (and pricier) choices.ワインはかなり安い
Slide 11 of 36: Costco has lots of deals where it sort of acts as a middleman. You can, for example, book home services like flooring or roofing.Basically, Costco is using the size of its customer base to leverage better deals. As a consumer, this can be huge for you.5 Winning Stocks Under $49 We hear it over and over from investors, “I wish I had bought Amazon or Netflix when they were first recommended by the Motley Fool.

Slide 19 of 36: Costco warehouses have pharmacies. These can offer very good prices even if you don't have insurance. It's worth checking to see what your costs would be on any medicine you normally take.ファーマシーも安い
Slide 21 of 36: Costco has gone to fairly extensive lengths to be able to sell its rotisserie chickens for $4.99. That's a good deal since one can be a meal for a small family or snacks for a few days.ALSO READ: Costco's Bold Plan to Re-Coop Rotisserie Chicken Losses赤字販売のチキン丸ごと1羽 $4.99
Slide 25 of 36: You can get your eyeglass prescription filled at Costco. That may not be the first place you look for glasses, but the prices are low and the quality is reasonable.ALSO READ: 4 Money-Saving Tricks That Actually Work眼鏡買うならここ
Slide 31 of 36: Putting items for later use in your freezer is great if you're the type of person who will later defrost and use them. If they will end up in your crash can, buying bulk meat is clearly a mistake.ALSO READ: Why Costco Stock Rose 44% in 2019安いからといって、買い過ぎるとゴミになる。
カートを押して買い物するだけがCostcoではないということです。ピザの話ですが、2枚で5ドル以下、それで普通のピザの2倍の大きさがあります。1枚食べればランチは済みます。仮にカットでなくホールで買っても10ドルしませんし、生のピザならさらに安いのです。

 SUVがブームの中、何を買うべきか?
Slide 2 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.1/10 | $23,990 The Kia Sportage is a compact crossover that seats five passengers in two rows. It features a handsome cabin, comfortable seats, and a gentle ride. However, many rivals offer more space for cargo. The Sportage delivers adequate power and handles well, but its fuel economy lags behind many classmates’.KIA Sportage $24000
Slide 4 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.1/10 | $25,900 We named the Hyundai Santa Fe our 2020 Best 2-Row SUV for the Money award winner. It features a modern cabin, roomy seating for five people, and a pleasant ride. However, its base engine is underpowered and it could use more cargo space. Rounding out the Santa Fe’s strengths are its excellent fuel economy and industry-leading warranty.Hyundai Santa Fe $26000
Slide 6 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.1/10 | $25,190 If you’re looking for a two-row SUV that’s fun to drive, safe, and reasonably spacious, the Mazda CX-5 should be on your list. It boasts agile handling, a silky ride, responsive steering, and a lively turbocharged engine option. The CX-5 provides sufficient room for four adult passengers in its stylish interior, but it’s short on cargo space. It secures a spot near the top of our compact SUV rankings .MAZDA CX--5 $25000
Slide 8 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.1/10 | $31,690 The three-row Kia Telluride is a brand-new SUV for the 2020 model year and it places at the top of our midsize SUV rankings .

Slide 10 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.2/10 | $24,495 Subaru completely redesigned the Forester for the 2019 model year and went on to win our 2019 Best Compact SUV for Families award.

It’s not as peppy as some rivals, but the Forester comes standard with all-wheel drive, returns good gas mileage, and earns excellent safety scores.Subaru Forester $25000
Slide 12 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.3/10 | $30,495 The Dodge Durango struggles to compete in many areas, but it has a roomy cabin, intuitive tech features, and potent engine options. If you prioritize performance and need a midsize SUV that can tow a heavy load, you may want to check out the Durango. Keep in mind, it doesn’t come standard with any advanced driver assistance features, and it earns a low safety score and the lowest predicted reliability rating given by J.D. Power.Dodge Durango $32000
Slide 14 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.4/10 | $39,995 The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is an outlier on our list of the most comfortable SUVs since it’s actually a minivan. In addition, it’s the only hybrid on the list. It’s not actually a conventional hybrid, but a plug-in hybrid that offers 32 miles of all-electric range and an EPA-estimated efficiency rating of 82 MPGe.Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid $40000
Slide 16 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.4/10 | $17,490 Kia fully redesigned the Soul for the 2020 model year. Due to its boxy shape, it provides expansive seats and a large cargo area.

Slide 20 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.5/10 | $25,050 The Honda CR-V offers significant passenger and cargo space for a compact crossover. It also features a handsome cabin, a capable engine, composed handling, and a smooth ride.

Slide 22 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.6/10 | $40,000 The 2020 Buick Enclave doesn’t place very well in our competitive midsize SUV rankings , but it has a lot to offer, especially when it comes to comfort. The Enclave offers three comfortable rows of seats and a roomy cargo hold.

While the Enclave isn’t as sporty as many competitors, it features a strong engine and a quiet and cushioned ride.Buick Enclave $40000
Slide 24 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.8/10 | $30,895 The 2019 Volkswagen Atlas boasts three expansive rows of seats and a voluminous cargo area.

Slide 26 of 27: USN Interior Score: 8.9/10 | $29,800 The 2020 Chevrolet Traverse secures a respectable position in our midsize SUV rankings , and the similar 2019 model was our Best 3-Row SUV for Families award winner.

It seats up to eight people in three rows, though its third row should be reserved for children.Chevrolet Traverse $30000
これらはUS News & Worldの推奨です。あまり参考にならないですね。アメリカで車を買うのにアメ車は外す、これが第一の鉄則です。お金を失うだけです。中古市場を見ると分かります。3年で半分だと思えば良いでしょう。

 しかし、ゴールドは最終的な取引手段ですが、食べれません。換金価値が高いだけです。やはり最後の最期は土地だと私は信じているのですがね。

 ロシアは中国国民の入国を一時禁止にすることを発表しました。アメリカは中国便がないので、他国経由なら入れる。日本はいつ禁止にするのか?

 これはギャグです。厚労省の大坪寛子氏。コロナの水際対策担当審議官ですが、首相補佐官との不倫疑惑で自らの水際対策もやらんといかんと。4回も一緒に外遊しています。

 野村克也は語った
「名選手必ずしも名監督ならず。現役時代にスター選手だった監督、特にバッター出身の監督は、総じてホームランが飛び交うような素人が見ても楽しい野球を好む。言い方を変えれば、ただ投げて打って走るだけの、才能に頼った荒っぽい野球。うまくはまれば強いが、いつもうまくいくわけがない。それじゃ常勝チームは作れない」

「この世界、結果を出せば高く評価されるが、名将の条件とは『勝利』だけではない。結果を出すまでのプロセスが問われてくる。信は万物の元をなすというが、監督に必要なのは選手やコーチからの信頼。それが名将の唯一の条件だと私は考えている」

「スター選手は自分が抜群のパフォーマンスをできたから、みんなができると思ってしまう。だから技術指導ができず、言葉より感覚を大切にしてしまう。目の前の試合に一喜一憂して、味方がホームランを打つと、選手と同じようにベンチを飛び出してくる。もちろん、タイムリーが出たり、逆転した場面で、監督の立場として“よし”とは思うが、このあとどう守ろう、どう逃げ切ろう、と先のことのほうがオレは気になるよ」

「プロ野球の歴史の中で外野出身の名監督はいない。(現役時代に)外野手は試合中に考えることがほとんどない。打者によって守備位置を変えるぐらい。それもベンチの指示で動くことが多く、細かいことを考えない。外野手出身の監督は細事小事に目がいかないというのが私の持論だ」なるほどですね。
