..had to pull the dock at my camp on Oneida Lake and my Seadoos floated off their lifts...highest I have ever seen the water in our bay... but nothing like what you have going on...glad you don't have too much damage...

What lake is that?

the guy had diabetes and bunch of other problems....

some of those should go away...nothing new in that article...covid didn't help much, but it is the ebb and tide of the restaurant business...A lot of those places are near me and they are busy as fuck, every single night...doubtful that these locations will close but the shitty locations that aren't busy, will. again, nothing earth shattering in that article.

This...

I hope that she is ok as well. But, if she had doubts, she should have stayed home and taken care of herself. Fortunately she lives in a country that for the most part will support her. Imagine a Russian or Chinese athlete doing this? I can't either. End of story.

This!

wow....I love all the internet research scientists on this forum...kind of scary

I will get back to you and let you know how many employees will be easier to reach for work as soon as that $300 goes bye bye....For the short sighted, that $300 means everything. I would have read the story but the link only let me read part of it.

Mainecat....here is real world example for you to ponder... Our employees make $30 per hour in wages and they have a $25 per hour benefits package. We are having a difficult time getting many of them to come back to work. They figure that after taxes etc. that their take home pay is about $800 per week. In the lovely state of NY the maximum unemployment rate is $504 per week. Add in the $300 and they are in the neighborhood of their take home pay. They can sit home, hang out etc. and get close to the same money in their pocket weekly. A lot of them can't see/don't care they are losing out by not working and putting money in their retirement plans, annuities, health insurance. They live for today. I agree, no millionaires are being created with the extra $300 but it is keeping many people from working. They are grabbing some side work a couple days a week for $250 a day under the table and they are making more than usual and having a couple days off a week. Yup, people say you can deny their unemployment because they are unavailable for work. Not a great idea to have disgruntled employees working for you nowadays. Sorry, i couldn't read your article, i don't subscribe to WSJ. I don't need anyone telling me why people are not working. I know why. Some people only need a certain amount of money to make them happy. They don't want or care about getting "ahead" in life. Sadly, this mindset is becoming more prevalent. When the $300 goes away, most of them will go back to work.

This....is why we need term limits for the Senate and Congress...these assholes laugh behind the scenes at the average American....

Aside from the article, the Pandemic has exposed the fact that there are a lot of lazy motherfuckers looking for free money....if you own a business, try getting people to come back to work or hire anyone to replace them right now. Not sure what your awesome comment means? if it means, that you are retiring, that is great! Congrats!

he had a good run...

This....OP post is spot on if it included the republicans...we need to elect people that want to make the country better and advocate for the people who elected, not worry about getting re-elected. I don't want politicians getting "good" at their job...the federal agencies (as overblown as they are...and that is a different subject) keep our country moving forward... both sides and the media have done a great job at dividing this country. They have made many people believe that if you don't agree with someone then you can't have a conversation with that person or agree to disagree...This website is a perfect example of that...at the end of the day our mindsets aren't as far apart as some would have you believe. It is truly sad.

did you keep a straight face when you posted this? it's the cities...Thank you for the lesson in statistics though...

The only person confused is you...how about stfu?

Every sled I own is studded. It helps with stopping distance and in any icy conditions.

oh yeah....it's fucking great...delivery services on a $361 bill was $251

Electricity from National Grid in Central New York was $12.92 per kWh last month...it was $9.78 last year...sucks because I use geothermal for heating and cooling...

LOL...funny story

no, he is not...that is all i have to say

I will answer for him...It's a 10!!! Ask tomorrow, next week, next year...same answer...

I hear you...not worried...

When he sucks ass after 3 and a half years, will you still be supporting him? asking for a friend.... BTW...the guy is my president and I will give him a year to see what direction he is heading with his policies and executive orders...he is not starting out great....

This...lol
