Weave

Wake me when it's over.

I know Live Nation has paused all active tours. This is going to trash the Summer concert schedule.

I think that is an early Corona virus symptom. #notenoughteststofindout

That's just like, your agenda, man.

I know there are alot of people that don't have the resources that I have. I made it work. It cost me my mental health in the process.

Agreed. But sometimes a hand is needed. You're doing some serious judging here. There is no reason to look down on someone when they need a hand. A consequence of my situation is, my retirement savings are hosed. I may be able to dig myself out of a hole now, but I won't have the flexibility to deal with setbacks when I am older. I'll probably need outside help if things go south at some point during my post working years. So, I may be in the same shoes as the people you are looking down your nose at now.

Why in heaven's name would we try to reinvent the wheel when the world has already given us the Traveling Wilbury's, Crosby Stlls Nash and Young, and Cream?

Your overall point is very narrow minded. It lacks the perspective of other experiences. Here's an example. Not a fictional one. It's my example. 3 college degrees. 25 years in the automotive industry. Single income household. Not middle management. I'm an engineer. In 2010 during the worst of the Great Recession my employer closed our facility. I've got 25 yrs experience and 3 degrees. I should be fine, right? I mean, if you work hard you'll find the opportunities, I suppose. I spent 5 years passing form lousy job to lousy job borrowing money from my 401K to make ends meet. After staying home to raise a family for 15 years, my wife went to work as well, part time at first, full time more recently. Most of that time she was making minimum wage. After 5 years of dwindling savings I finally found a job that paid what the automotive industry paid me half way through my career. Over the next 4 years I worked my way back to being paid what I was paid when I left the automotive industry. Life's good. You work hard and good things happen, right? First week of January my current employer announced that they are shutting our doors in September. I've got a choice. Relocate to a much higher cost of living area of the country or stay home and potentially go through what I went through in 2010-2016. According to Hank, I need to pull my bootstraps up and move to CT. Here's the kick. If this friggin Corona virus thing doesn't postpone it, in 2 weeks my father is going in for testing to determine if he has colon cancer. So, in 2 weeks I may have to make the ugly choice whether to risk the local job market and help care for my father, or move to CT. If you haven't noticed, the economy is crashing right about now, making my employment prospects dicey. And I'm 52. If you haven't been on a job search at that age, discrimination is real. So, in less than 10 years a guy who has 3 degrees, a 30 yr history of work experience, and marketable skills may very well need to rely on part time hours to supplement a work situation gone south for the second time in 10 years. I'm not sure what life choice I made, or what I needed to work harder on to prevent being in a situation where I might need to depend on the goodwill of an employer to get out of a bag I didn't make. Sometimes ***** just happens. For the guy/gal who chose to work on the production floor out of school, their options are even less than mine in the same situation.

You don’t say?

We are definitely a society that is only concerned with ourselves. We can’t even get the masses to stay home and avoid public gatherings to slow this thing.

Same here.

Gotta love watching Old Edmonton vs. Philly on NHL Network though.

The extra TP is so we don’t have to get to a store should this virus become widespread in our community. We bought two 36 roll packs. I figure best case we don't need to buy TP for quite awhile. Other than that, our pantry is full. We are good for a mandatory confinement period if needed. Wife went to the store last night for our normal weekly grocery shopping and she said the meat counter was bare. I’ve never seen a run on meat during a natural “disaster “ warning. So much for steaks tonight.

You're not jokin'.

LaFontaine-Hawerchuck might argue. Otherwise, yes.

Differences in perspective. These posts have it. This is exactly where I am at right now.

Two pages, max. This team sucks.

I’m not sure *he* was the one that got screwed that night.

I didn’t think the Pope had that kind of influence anymore

All I can do is my part. If someone else wants to do something that may help propagate the virus, that’s on them. I’ve said several times on this subject that sometimes we need to be responsible to more than ourselves. Staying home isn’t a great sacrifice. Fortunately for me, fishing isn’t a social activity. I can do that this weekend abd be isolated the whole time.

That’s a hell of an article. Sobering. Just convinced me that Friday night whiskey night is at home for awhile.

Grand Master level bait set here.

I feel guilty for ever laying shade on Connolly. Its affected how I think of players now. I can’t lay on players now like I did then. We never know what’s going on under the surface.

You want to bet? That’s cool. But betting by ignoring recommendations and restrictions is betting someone else’s health. Not exactly voluntary for the other guy.

Its not propaganda. Logic is only one leg of the structure. Unless you have the training and access to the data your logic is of limited use. We require training and access to data to allow someone to design bridges and structures too because logic and intelligence isn’t enough. And propaganda? Really? What does the CDC and WHO have to gain by creating world stress over this?
