  1. I should have taken that trip to Togwotee.
  2. Yeah but does the warm air actually kill the seasonal flu or the fact we are not all cooped up together stop the spread significantly.
  3. Yes she is. I so want another ride to end the year on that greasy bitch.
  4. Over 40% of ours are. Don't think that's even counting assisted living places.
  5. Go figure. https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/04/08/coronavirus-covid-19-crime-chicago-violence/ CHICAGO (CBS) — The coronavirus pandemic is not only straining resources in Chicago hospitals but also on the streets. Despite the stay-at-home order, police responded to 19 shootings Tuesday night, six of which were homicides. Overall crime was down in the last week, but robberies and shootings were up. The Chicago Police Department superintendent said the violence is draining the department’s resources that should be used to fight against COVID-19.
  6. What a fucking douche bag. She'd have to be way better looking for me to agree to that.
  7. While we had some things in the economy/markets that will make this worse the overwhelming cause is the pandemic. The key is the snowballing effect. How long business' will be out of operation and how many are continued to be hurt as people inevitably will change their lifestyle for a while. Lots of unknowns.
  8. Just depends as there are lots of variables. The big question remains will they really compare 8 weeks during this to 12 weeks (a quarter) from 2019. If its the 4th quarter we will take a bit of a hit as we pay a significant Christmas bonus. Comparing payroll 8 to 12 is tough enough to come close to equal add in comparing a quarter where a large company wide bonus is paid then its even harder. But lets be real at 1% interest over 2 years its still a fucking great deal even if we have to pay 100% back.
  9. Notice how the age of the reporters in the WH press room has dropped significantly? All the older reporters are working from home and sending the kids out to risk getting infected.
  10. Iowa is increasing the positive test by about 10% per day but our hospitalizations and deaths are not. Assume we are testing at a higher rate. I've seen on the news that its in 3 nursing homes in Cedar Rapids (population 135k) which is not good.
  11. Listen to Ben and do the exact opposite?
  12. Notice how all the people saying she killed her husband on the show always said it was their opinion. They knew she was lawsuit happy.
  13. That's the point he is trying to make. Not some overriding statement on religion.
  14. One of our fuel tank suppliers is going to miss deliveries and cost us 3-4 weeks of production to get moved back a month or so. Any production that is moved back is at risk of being lost to competitors. Their component supplier has shifted a large portion of production to Ventilator tubes. Because of the rigorous testing these fuel tanks go thru simply changing the supplier would require complete re-certification of the tanks. This is more costly and time consuming than just waiting it out......for now. While we are trying to move up other production it will be tough since we only have about 6 weeks to do it. We will do some things around the factory like cleaning and inventory while the slowdown occurs and all workers will remain on payroll. Could be much, much worse.
  15. Not really a link but no need. This one I believe.
  16. Hadn't heard that. You got any links? Without question its not beyond the DNC to pull something like that.
