If OP had said succinctly, “this is dumb”, you’d have gotten on them for not explaining why. Here, they explain why, and you get on them for not being clumsy and overbroad.

Really?

“Perfect Storm”—- Ohhhkk. Whatever you want to call your cleavage. Good on her for keeping up the momentum, but a spade is a spade.

I’m officially too old to “get” streamer culture. Like I get it, but I don’t “get” it. 

Do you have a better plan Erik Shilling, or are you just going to be snarky, dismissive, and insulting and then do absolutely nothing to back it up?

You sound like someone who doesn’t understand how the world works.

You sound like a POS.

Totally agreed. The quoted statement reads like from someone who haven’t even done any basic research on filing for unemployment. This may vary a bit by state, but generally it would benefit the employee to file for unemployment as soon as they know that they won’t be getting paid, regardless of what plans their…

Nissan and Honda’s timelines, in other words, still seem pretty optimistic, and telling your workers to apply for unemployment suggests to me that Honda and Nissan may not even believe the timelines themselves.

I have stopped riding my MC for the duration, but on my last ride, I noticed people driving very aggressively.  It was troubling.

it’s just an idiotic statment. A lot of people not only use windows out of necessity, but prefer it. If I didn’t HAVE to use sketch for UI design and prototyping I would use windows. I use it at home, exclusively, and while it may take a little more knowhow to set things up exactly how you want, you can get so much…

A way to look at the difference is Sports. Less than a week after 9/11, MLB was back on. The President was throwing out pitches at Yankee Stadium and everyone was wearing red white and blue.

This answer is pretty good, I concur.

Yeah, I don’t know why there are so many people here claiming businesses should have been prepared for this. What is happening is completely unprecedented in both scope and scale.

It’s not like Amazon has just been sitting on these things and withholding them. No one has had sufficient PPE. We know this and we’ve implicitly accepted it by leaving many “essential” businesses open and buying from them. Every worker in a store, or a warehouse serving that store, is in the same situation and it’s…

Excellent question, and good to be thinking about this before you enter the working world!

HARD pass

CNN ran a story about a man who might die without his scheduled living donor liver transplant because, while his surgery is medically necessary, the surgery to obtain part of his uncle’s liver is not. Our society and health care system is facing many, many difficult choices. IVF is not high priority, IMO. You may not…

Yeah, sorry, cry me a river but your fertility treatments are not a right, having children is not a right (unless you can naturally conceive them), and yeah it sucks if as a result of the pandemic some people might miss their window for fertility treatments but right now the focus is on postponing all non-emergency…
