WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'm in full agreement with you on that. As you said previously, you have to get something sometimes to know the in hand feel for yourself.

It's about that and what works for you. If you feel you may not get a better experience from replacing both your ipod touch and the S10E with the SE2, then you know what your answer is.

I sidestepped Rue's comments about modern work being similar to old school middle British based indentured labor in the pre slavery days. Well, stuff like this reinforces the point:

So one of the most annoying things I see is people wearing face coverings but their noses are exposed. Guess people don't think the nose is involved in taking in any particles when you breathe.

Leave it to folks in Israel so show people how it's done when protesting vs the government.

It is the sort of attitude here in 'Murica expressed by some of the other signs in this news bit that has always given pause for concern.

I know what I'm getting into with a wall street journal subscription - read the articles, avoid the comments section.

The more you know...thank you for the safety talk haha

You gotta love how Rue says "short explanation" and then writes a book. Never seen "short explanation" and "science" ever work successfully in the same sentence.

Good stuff though.

Wow. They seem smarter than the people here being reckless.

"Reckless" is in the DNA here in 'Murica. Lots of people who look like Laura still don't value or even really acknowledge the existence of people who look like you. Many of them are amidst the ranks of those people with the colorful signs.

This is why I'm not unopposed to wearing the look I wear and STILL keep my head on a swivel when I use the subway.

Could've been a lot longer.... I was being succinct.

We know a lot about lighting but the main thing we know it's unpredictable.

We know a lot about electricity but we still don't understand it at an atomic level.

Which is why these things are called theories.

Here's another version:

Essentially, some employers were paying people less than what they can get through unemployment - shocker. Now those employers and employees are in a bind. Do the employers apply for the wages protection funds to maintain staff they've furloughed, knowing they cannot match what unemployment is paying? Do employees who are getting more via the wage protection or unemployment want to come back (and thus be ineligible for current employment) for less money now to satisfy their desire to be at work?

The wages protection pays people at the $15/hr minimum Democrats are pushing for. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25. Shall I continue?

Here's the sad reality of out world.

Government make tracking app to help with Covid-19, people scream about privacy issues. Government tells people to stay home and wear masks when going outside. People scream about freedom.

People use social media apps and software run by multi billion dollar enterprises. They track everything you do to make more money. Not a peep.

People need to follow laws, work and get told what to do in a regular basis and like it or else and barely flinch at the idea. What is freedom really? Most don't know.

What strange world.

The USA is one messed up place.

I would seriously reconsider going back to work of course but that all depends on how long that 15/hr lasts.

A lot of employers purposely pay employees less because they can.

Maybe the employer needs to rethink what the value of employees are.

Good shake up.

Guilty as charged. I pull up my mask if I'm close to people but I can't have it over my nose without fogging up my glasses.

So what Mr. Clue's uncle did was to pay the flat $600 vs adjust it based on the individual state. Why do that? Well, not all of the state's technology was update to date to do so by variables set for the cost of living for each state. So you mean the country with the highest GDP uses old technology to manage disbursement of fund for things like social services and unemployment?

You're darn tootin'!

So in defense of the smaller business owners, who have certain industries where can only afford to pay what the federal minimum wage is, this is what happens. The states don't value working people enough to upgrade their tech - I was in a government run social services office here in NYC that used computer software I recognized that looked like it was from 1995 and the decor of the place was from 1977.

Yup, no one gives a about you when you can no longer pay your way through your wages.

I understand that. The issue there is most people don't adjust the mask and also said fiddling doesn't keep your hands free from the face - which is just as important.

People will do what they want to do.

I'd show you the back but it has the temporary tags on it. Needless to say, that 911 was bought here...and you need the $$$ to walk into this dealership.

Ooh! All their cars are fancy.

It's been slow the last few days. Just studying pretty much. Got bored with games and TV. Watched Ghana - Uruguay from 2010 World Cup. I pretty much remembered the whole game, it was one of the best at the tournament.

Other than that. It's been boring.

 

[Rose640]

I'll probably start watching Only Fools And Horses again. That show's timeless for me.
