Been working this whole time.  My workplace is one story open floorplan with about 200 employees per shift.  We practice social distancing, wash hands frequetly and wear masks.  Its doable

Amen.  I’m ready to go to work but also understand what at stake.

My kid’s teacher just emailed us school work all the way to early June.  Likely means no CMS school until next school year.  Also, multiple big corporations said they will not listen to Trump return to work order and will allow their employees back only when they feel its safe.

I can tell you that at least one school district from where im from is privately preparing to start next school year with remote classes.  Source being my wife is a teacher in that school district.

Prior to this pandemic, we were seeing tremendous economic growth and historically low unemployment.

if you want to blame him for the economic impact that this pandemic is having (it is decimating economies all over the globe) , then you have the iq of a head of lettuce.

 

You are absolutely right. We saw tremendous economic growth at the expense of all environmental protections ever put in place. Trump removed most protections for the almighty dollar. Yes we benefit, no doubt, but at what cost. The short sighted decisions could have long lasting consequences. It’s why we should think before we leap. Now all of those economic heights are squandered and what does that leave us? Same amount of money with lower air quality.

I'm wondering how much of the online stuff will become "the new normal" going forward.  Be it school, work, etc.

Let's also remember that companies in the US were holding record amounts of debt on their books, thanks to phenomenally low interest rates. What the pandemic showed was how it wasn't the interest rates, but the principal payments that would kill these companies that were so leveraged and without any real cash reserves. 

That's a systemic problem that actually existed long before Trump. Trump, however, has always run his businesses leveraged to the hilt and has, through policy and rhetoric, encouraged our economy to work this way, too. He has long been the champion of borrow and reap rather than save and sow seeds. Trump's not the originator of our economic weakness, he's just the posterboy.

It all works well until, well, a rainy day comes. Our country has been so prosperous that it has withstood all of those rainy days, hurricanes, flooding, massive fires, civil unrest and malaise since 2016. It took a pandemic, a modern plague, to shake us down. The idea of borrowing our way back to economic health should be scaring everyone.

Same.  We will be able to tell which company cares about their employees and which cares only about profits.

It wont matter when the unemployment benefits run out and dotard refuses to extend them.  The ruling class has us right where they want us.  Work or starve and go homeless.  Throw a few more serfs on the fire so we can warm up our profit margins.

I'm sure it's just trying to be prepared for worst case scenario but I wouldn't get hopes up for schools opening for the remainder of this school year.

Shall we try this again? I promise you that the third time will not be the charm. If it gets locked again it'll be for good and all this conversation will transfer to the TB.

In other news, I just found out from someone very much in the know that Colorado's stay at home mandate will be lifted on April 27th and Governor Polis is set to announce that today at 3:30.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm honestly looking beyond DC at this point. He's too green and is making too many simple mistakes. I think he's gone after next year. I think the intention in LV was to use Mayer and Bowers similar to Gronk/Hernandez in NE. That's never really struck me as Carroll's MO though after watching him for years out here in Seattle.  He's talented enough and I think he just got lost behind the phenom that is Bowers because he couldn't develop in Carroll's system. I'm surprised Bowers is used as much as he is, though they really don't have anyone else. TE's don't really exist as focus receivers in Carroll's offense. I live in the PNW so I've been subjected to a lot of Seahawks football.  Coaches other utilize their TEs. We should too. Tremble is OK, but he's always been a project as a receiver. Again, all this is of we could get him at the right price. I wouldn't pay a lot because we need to spend on defense.

      David. Hey, money talks.....it has been acknowledged that Tepper isn't shy on spending. He's had the NFL equivalents of used car salesman after used car salesman line up to grift him of a big chunk. Canales is one of them.  Until that changes, it's gonna be tough to build anything to last.

      Well it's who they tied themselves to for at least another year but i agree. They will be lucky to find a useful contributor but until I see the DC situation change I am presuming it's SSDD. Well it sounds like maybe in 2027.
