Yes, because if his mom comes up positive he’s been exposed, and therefore all of us have, too. You have to treat this shit like the plague, if anyone on the chain is exposed to it everyone is, and we are not in the business of killing our customers.

To be honest, I spent a lot of time wondering the same thing, but I assumed that the reason would be a lack of business or a government-mandated shutdown. We were down about 50% overall, but it was still worth staying open.

Yeah, god forbid they actually act like responsible corporate “citizens” by paying their workers a decent wage, setting aside a little money for a rainy day, and not greedily lapping up huge tax cuts and spending all the money on stock buybacks to artificially inflate their value to keep Wall Street happy.

That sucks, sorry to hear. Hopefully not closed for good.

I could only imagine all the childish articles that would be written about “MANUFACTURE X, THE OVERLORD CORPORATE ASSHOLES, HAVE $XBILLION ON HAND BUT CONTINUE TO UNDERPAY THEIR AMAZING WORKERS” etc if these companies actually did pocket tons of money year after year. Is there a world where auto unions don’t endlessly…

Neutral: As of today I am unemployed, because the restaurant I’ve worked at for 25 years is closed thanks to the stupidest kid that ever walked the Earth. Apparently his mother wasn’t feeling well, and he offhandedly told one of his coworkers that she was being tested for Coronavirus, like it was no big deal. It never…

I feel ya.

As every vehicle I own (10 vehicles) is incredibly fuel efficient, idling them for an hour has a negligible impact on fuel level. We’re talking a fleet of four smart fortwos and a handful of motorcycles here. And of course, I daily a few of them on a rotation, so only the garage queens and summer toys need batteries…

You're right. Even motorcycles will top up their batteries in about an hour. Instead of having ten battery tenders I just run my vehicles for an hour once or twice a month. Always does the trick.

The vehicle charging system is not programmed for max charge rate and won’t use every extra electron to charge the battery. It is programmed to charge the battery in the most gentle, get the job done so we can start again, but be careful to not damage the battery so we have warranty costs, kind of way.

I completely believe her. After the Paula Jones debacle, I stopped supporting Bill Clinton. When NOW supported him despite Jones’ believable accusations, I quit NOW. Did I vote for Clinton the second time? No. Will I vote for Biden? Yes. Because $hit is just that bad. My own rapist is a city councilman back east.…

I was thoroughly opposed to having Biden as the candidate, but here we are. Honestly, I think voters know we’re electing a placeholder who won’t be capable of completing a four year term (which makes his VP choice more significant than ever).

It feels like the best we can hope for at this point is that Biden is smart enough (or the people that think for him are smart enough) to choose a woman (hopefully of color) for VP, by some miracle beats Trump, and then caves early in office from dementia so we finally have a woman in the big chair.

I hate that I’m in the position of voting for the *less* rapey guy just so RBG can retire.

She persists in our tiny hallway, still making me feel okay

This. It just means America will have to choose between a racist, authoritarian rapist with dozens of accusations against him, who thinks the solution to a pandemic is mass genocide to save capitalism, and Biden, who likes to hug people inappropriately, was accused of misconduct by one woman, and might not be as far…

Stay the fuck out of New Mexico, you idiots.

We want normal people to visit (and then leave) not Influencers. Does anybody really want Influencers?

Agreed from Colorado. Not sure where they think they’re going either, we’ve been urged to not leave our counties and all campgrounds and established trailheads are closed. Not to mention that it’s still fully winter anywhere higher elevation or further North than Denver.
