Oh so it's greed then. Don't wanna say "then you had it coming", but...

Hmm. I wonder if this happening will change the way businesses are run in the futu-- hahaha right. The grabbing hands will always grab what and when they can.


Like... any reasonable person who isn't already living from paycheck to paycheck knows it's a good idea to keep some savings in case of emergency. Hell, my apartment complex expects you to have a few months of rent pay in stock in case you lose your income. And if a person fails to do that they're labeled foolish and "bad with money" . I'd have thought businesses would have been run with emergencies in mind too.

Businesses are run in the red to focus on short term profits rather than long term survivability these days. If you are not making peak quarterly profits, nobody invests in you, regardless of your financial stability.

Its stupid.

watching a movie on your couch and watching it in a movie theater aren't really comparable things. most people go to a movie with friends and treat it as a social experience, like going to a bar for a drink rather than drinking alone on your couch.

Yes, maybe so. So why wouldn't they social experience in something else? Theaters are expensive things to run and require a lot of people to show up. This doesn't happen a lot. Theaters that do survive are gonna have to downsize and/or charge more. All this pandemic did was speed up their death

Excellent marketing tactic to let your consumer know you will be as unpopular and hated as he is by the general public :downsbravo:

It might as well say "If you think Trump's a loving idiot then wait till you get a load of me"

Also :lol: at the week rear end uncertain "probably". That's certainly a strong and assertive statement

The loving weak-rear end shirt is as indecisive as he is

Hard to see stuff like this and not think about the sort of violence people calling for more police presence in order to enforce social distancing is going to lead to in minority communities.

It’s deeply ironic that Protestants first became a thing in large part because of the uncontrolled greed and institutional grifting of the Church. Luther is rolling in his grave.

It sucks to suggest this, but you literally might want to contact the care home so that they can tell her she isn't allowed back if she goes through with it

Because many conservatives and Christians truly believe this is an overblown Chinese, Democrat Liberal Media hoax to destroy America and Trump specifically. To them the death numbers are massively inflated, the measures taken to socially distance and close schools are draconian and this is a direct assault on religious liberty and freedom.
