Maybe I should have used our actual $13.5k deductible instead?  I'm pretty sure no one has been fired yet, but this ride is just starting. It will get messy. You are desperate for a change....I get it. Only if "change" means more competence, integrity, less drama, more empathy, wider vision, less self promotion, more stability, etc And "desperate" being defined as in lieu of ANYTHING but the status quo. 
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

See yall gonna jack this thread with your snide lil political comments and such , why post if its going to lean political at some point, if we all cant do it shut it down. So can we all talk about "Cotton Eyed Joe" or do we stay on point? Can we make the 1/2 veiled comment that if the virus hits the right 50% its all good, or stay on point? Sorry but in light of events in the past couple years I don't see anything or anyone on the horizon that has any of those qualities.

a couple of days ago, i shook hands with a guy i hadn't seen for at least 20yrs or so. i wasn't afraid because his hands were covered in grease. i bought two transmissions from him, he delivered to my door, and helped unload them where i wanted. however, my wife is deathly afraid of what's coming down the road. we both have severe health issues that can [maybe will] result in pneumonia, and as of now, if we get it, we will have to be sick before the doc can even order tests. my one buddy called me last night about a swap meet sunday. i would like to go, but i can tell my wife is NOT thrilled with the idea, even though she hasn't said anything. also, i was at a few stores yesterday, and "national backorder" signs were in quite a few departments. for this little hick town of less than 4000 people, it clearly shows something is up.

In Seattle there are around 4 business that have laid off all staff and closed up shop. I do not have the numbers but it is happening due to Covid-19.

Gotta bring a better game than that garbage! Can't find the high road I see, so nothing does indeed "change".  Strange isn't it, anything can be said if it follows a certain side, but the second a different view is shared, all we hear is"how dare you", "shut it Down", "it isn't fair", etc, etc.

My latest panic after watching my stocks crater and watching everyone argue and try to make political hay out of a crisis rather than act rationally, is that as of this afternoon it is looking like they are getting everything set up at my office to get the employees working from home. They just sent out an email to take your laptop home to test if at home this evening to see that the VPN is working. Problem for me is, I am the last person in my team that hasn't had his desktop upgraded to a laptop yet.  My manager is in Mexico this week (I was really surprised his trip leaving Monday wasn't postponed), and not back until Friday night. So I can't work with him to try to get a laptop setup tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce the office is closed as of next week and then maybe I'm laid off since I can't work from home. Take your desk top home then.

Sorry but in light of events in the past couple years I don't see anything or anyone on the horizon that has any of those qualities. Any competent adult would be a far cry better than the status quo.
