ManOnManOral Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 When I look at the reaction to a mostly non lethal viral outbreak,one has to wonder how fucked we are when a real bad one comes along. Time to shrink the world. We need to bring manufacturing back to the home front and shut all of Asia out. This should be the long term goal in north america now. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 MN Governor just ordered all bars and restaurants closed today at 5pm on fucking St Patrick’s Day. LOL! Friends of ours own a nice eatery that hold a HUGE corned beef and cabbage bash every St Pats day. I guess they are just plain fucked. This area is going to be punished, real hard over this Land and houses are about to be available on the cheap....not to mention all the small commercial sq. Footage you can lease up...or buy. Our idiots running the city will probably purchase it all for the homeless. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No money and likely no UI check I thought Dems tabled a bill to cover that. pretty sure our ei no longer has a waiting period. For most people it’s still a huge pay cut.
