Barbershops will be open in two weeks. Start planning your trip south.

It's all about stimulating the economy.

Hey, dead people are getting stimulus checks. Estates may not have to return the money. No "clawback" in the hastily written law. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/if-your-dead-relative-received-a-stimulus-check-you-should-return-it-to-the-feds-mnuchin-says-2020-04-29

So what percentage of people who were laid off due to the pandemic will not be hired back because the company doesn't want them back? I'm thinking of those "I don't really want to fire them, I wish they would quit" types. Just because a business reopens doesn't mean they hire everyone back like nothing happened. That 60 year old we were worried would sue us for age discrimination? Maybe we don't bring him back. That guy that always fought us on the grooming standards? Keep him off the payroll.

I'm wondering if my breakfast taco guy would let people eat at the table like fast food.

None of my favorite restaurants decided to open for seating. I just glanced over the San Antonio restaurants and it seemed like more touristy places near Riverwalk decided to open. I'm not in the business but I wonder if 25% seating works for lower margin neighborhood joints.

It's their 15 minutes of fame.

I actually enjoy greg775. I'd order the greg greg greg eggs greg greg and eggs if it was on the menu.

05 felt like they were overachieving, then the slump made it seem even more so. I recall in 94 feeling like they were doing what they should have been doing.

So am I right? Best political strategist of all time? He knows the American public better than we know ourselves.

You should get credit for obeying. Just like we all do when we don't run red lights or knock off a liquor store for crack money. We all understand that to feel good you have to look good. In fact it is better to look good than to feel good. I hear Washington actually crossed the Delaware to get a haircut. We should have seen this coming when we allowed those power hungry tyrants to paint stripes on the roads to keep cars apart. I have studied my history, Washington, Jefferson, and those leaders never demanded we stay on one side of a trail. There was freedom. Now they have even put up walls and guardrails to make it even harder to drive where you want. Of course they love making people stay at home. It greatly reduces the amount of money people pay in taxes. Greg775 If I thought for a moment you were actually serious I would tone down the comedy. But this is your act. I actually enjoy how you always find a path to a character that amuses. The haircut things is genius. I'm serious here when I say you really should find an improv class. I think you are a natural.

But he doesn't need a majority. He figured that out. And he fires them up to go vote. It's bunker mentality at it's finest. And anyone against him is against his supporters. The media, courts, even fellow Republicans. He just needs to be attacked from somebody. Brilliant.

He's president of the US. He can be in a mess like this and his base LOVES him. LOVES him. They will fight tooth and nail for him. The loyalty he has created is beyond anything I've seen in my lifetime. He wasn't exaggerating when he said he could shoot someone.

He's playing to a bigger than we imagine base. I would argue he is the best political strategist in my life time.

Starve and die with long hair or get a gun -- it's your choice. We need you out there helping to spread the virus. Without volunteers like you the virus will wither and die. Even in the US there are still vast areas with no reported cases. That's unacceptable. We need people infected and moving around. This is your destiny. This is your moment in time. Go get that hair cut. Someone has to have an underground barbershop in Kansas. Resist the man and his attempt to stop this virus. Take care greg775 and thank you for always taking on the toughest points of view.

Here's another scene from The Jungle. It's after Jurgis moves to the country and finds farm work. At the end of the season the farmer is telling him goodbye and hopes he'll be back in the spring. Jurgis looks at the horse and points out there is no work for the horse yet you will feed him and provide a place to sleep. Why not for a human?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess MADD will be against it but

So we're opening up restaurants using 25% of their capacity. As much as I really want to support a couple restaurants I just can't see myself going anytime soon. Now I'm not even comfortable with takeout if there are so many people passing through the doors.

Glad to hear this.

What training do you need to wear a mask? Wow.

They weren't going to vote for Trump anyway. It is interesting that meat production would be considered essential. I'm guessing vegetarians would say otherwise. Actually I'm slightly surprised that any agricultural worker would be essential. We are currently a net importer of human food items. We are trying to so hard to build a wall and stop a lot of those ag workers from even getting to the US. If we really feel that the work is essential we should be looking at a guest worker program and allowing them in through the front door.

Is that confirmed? As to what to do if it was the Sox. My only parallel was the Bulls signing Rodman. I never cheered for him. I would probably differentiate the guys who were ringleaders and not cheer for them. But after 50 years it's tough to stop being a fan.

We already kill millions around the world. Every, and I mean every, death that is attributed to poverty should be counted. Lack of proper nutrition, housing, health care are deaths in pursuit of economy. There are enough resources on the planet for every human to have food, clothing, shelter, and health care. Economic systems are tools that concentrate those resources in a few hands and they alone decide in perhaps an abstract way, the quality of life for a few billion people.

Buy a gun or don't eat. Widespread looting, only the rich will have easy access to food. I'd watch Soylent Green to be prepared.
