The extra $600 really fucked up this program

When Black-Lewis convened a virtual employee meeting to explain her good fortune, she expected jubilation and relief that paychecks would resume in full even though the staff — primarily hourly employees — couldn’t work.

She got a different reaction.

“It was a firestorm of hatred about the situation,” Black-Lewis said.

More double-posting idiocy.

I see more personal bk's from regular folks running up cards. The businesses will just walk and start anew.

Literally just read that very article. Before you posted. This was easily forseeable. I'd agree very rushed and poorly planned, reactionary is never a good way to make decisions especially under pressure.

Doesn't it really depend on the virus immunity reaction? If those who get it are completley immune forever ( case A) same as those vaccinated . Things will go back to basically the way things were. What were the long term affects of the 1917 flu? not a lot. If its case B , you have to get a booster every 3-10 years , well about the same as case A. If its more like the common cold which immunity barely lasts a year and maybe a vaccination doesn't really get done/that effective. Case C, Then a lot of things will change. Life insurance for anyone old will even get more expensive , annuity prices will come down with life expectancy, insurance for those who smoke, have asthma , fat will go go up huge. No more hugs and hand shakes etc.

I think more people will ride motorcycles.

**Benny Profane** · 04-23-2020, 08:18 AM

And start shooting heroin.

**Timberridge** · 04-23-2020, 08:25 AM

You know Benny, sometimes you're funny.

**Timberridge** · 04-23-2020, 08:34 AM

I also predict Covid -19 will be used as an excuse for incompetency for the next year or so...at least.

some pro sports teams will fold off the lack of fans and lack of tv revenue or cut of tv revenue.

tampa bay rays is going away imo, not sure who else I would choose.

This entire calamity was generated from starving people. Starving people started harvesting sketchy animals in sketchy conditions and now the globe is going to throw a few trillion dollars into a problem that is going to kill 100’s of thousands anyway. Lots of countries squander food and resources while billionaires hoard cash and the means to rid the planet of the problem.
So we might figure that out. Or not.

**XXX-er** · 04-23-2020, 04:37 PM

no more sharing reefers

**AK47bp** · 04-23-2020, 04:43 PM

Sneeze battles, close contact staring contests, Eskimo kisses.....gone, gone forever.

Let's hope blowjobs aren't on that list.

Does cum and vaginal fluid transmit this virus?

And when in history hasn't there been food scarcity?

This thread is about the future.

Were going to eradicate hunger?

Ya, it's not a food scarcity issue. It's a distribution issue.

I just finished a biography of Hitler. The historian's constant emphasis was that Hitler needed land and space for a new Germany. He was hemmed in after WW1. He totally envied the British Empire and the great United States, with their abundance. When he attacked to the east, he wanted the Ukraine, an incredibly fertile region, and the oil fields in the Caucasus. He really didn't care too much about the north. (But he should have) Anyway, that's why many wars were fought. Domination of resources. With international trade of food resources, a fairly new phenomenon, that need for violence has been subdued a lot. Be careful what you wish for.

JFC bunny!

That was one hell of a segue from a food security article.

80% of beef packing is controlled by 4 corporations, hogs and chickens are worse. Plant closures are threatening the supply chain.

Hog euthanizing is starting this week, because the producers can't get the hogs to the people with the current system.

Used to be every town had a butcher that did cattle, hogs, sheep, etc. etc. Govt. regulation has shut down most all of them, or if they are still open, they only do one type of animal.

Country needs more small plants spread out, and need more folks with freezers to hold more than a weeks worth of food.

We live in a world that most people can drive up to a window on the main drag and acquire their daily caloric needs for a very fair price. I know, I know, it can be a horror show how that happens, but, still, we have eradicated hunger for billions around the world with modern production and trade since the beginning of the twentieth century. You know, hunger, man's great preoccupation since the beginning. We've swung too far with obesity in the developed world, but, still, hunger sucks. I'm impressed by the achievement. Needs some fine tuning, though.

Besides, the guy who wrote that article was somehow bemoaning the fact that Iraq, among other examples, imports 80% of their food. Well, duh. It's a fucking desert. Why not?
