We have basically shut down as of 9p.m. last night. But lots of places will remain open. Food stores, liquor stores, Home centers. If you are on the road. You must be heading to one of those places. Otherwise have to stay home. Guess my cruising around with a roadie and listening to Tunes will be put on hold for a while. Hopefully summer will be back to some normalcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mileage Psycho Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 1 hour ago, frenchy said: been that way forever so it's ingrained in the business culture. Whole different kettle of fish to expect small business to go 5 weeks without any income and expect there not to be major economic implications, both from businesses and employees. People are resilant and have been since antiquity, a small business is a company with fewer than 250 employees which qualifies my company as small. This virus has and will have an impact on my company, but I'm confident that we will get through it. My main concern at this point is that all my employees and there families stay healthy, as long as you're healthy you can overcome anything.

My process is going to be completely disrobe in the entryway, leave clothes in entry overnight, and shower. Next day bring in the prior day uniform in and wash it.

We went over to Grafton Notch on the western side of the state to see the mountains. We have taken 2 trips north, to drop off things to my parents. Yesterday we took off and went to Harpswell, Bailey Island and Orrs Island. Took a road trip to Mt Desert Island and took in Acadia National Park. Pay with a card for everything. Anything that comes in the car gets wiped with an anti bacterial/antivirus. Brought our own food. Enjoy the time if you have it. Staying locked up will drive anyone crazy. If you have the chance to get out and social distance while doing it... do it. Bro and I have to do a retrieval mission up to Jackman at some point. One tank of gas gets us to town and one tank will get us home, pack a lunch and just stop for piss breaks. Grafton Notch is beautiful, eh?!

Yeah, we got told that on Friday that we're one of "13 critical infrastructure industries". oh ffs.....can you just give it a fucking rest? Yup. What will be hard to quantify is the economic impact of all this. We won't know for at least a year. You just can't admit it. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

Unemployment isn't 100% pay and takes a good amount of time to get it. Think of a waitress or waiter who gets cash tips, think outside the box, not about the lady who is laid off from Macy's..

As I said in another thread, the levels of stored necessities need to be brought to acceptable levels for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
