Sanguinia posted:I'm a semi-rural teacher in a district that's been desperate for manpower for almost a decade, so I have extreme job security even in the event of a bad recession, my pay's been guaranteed to the end of the school year, new contracts for next year with the last of a series of state-mandated pay raises go out in a couple of weeks, and I have a big chunk of savings because I've been enduring living with my parents since I got the job three years ago. The amount of luck I've been blessed with economically in this mess is kind of astounding. I paid it forward by loaning a friend 1200 bucks last week because she was three months behind on her mortgage. I'm really worried about what might happen to some of the families of my students in the coming years though. I am actually in a very similar boat. Rural-ish school, we are doing enough digital learning that we are getting our full pay, contract signed and accepted for next year. I know a few of my homeroom students got backpacks of food sent with them every weekend to help keep them fed. I know that 80% of my homeroom was on free lunch for income related reasons. It sucks I won’t get to say goodbye to them in person, and I really worry about them getting enough to eat pretty much daily. My district has really stepped up on lunch deliveries to help the hourly staff get paid and make sure kids get food. The fact we have means testing for freaking food (or seriously any social safety net) is abhorrent and the fact that we consistently do the most at cutting those nets instead of giving folks a leg up and fighting chance just blows my mind.

Does anyone know what caused Trump to poo poo on Fox News and pimp OAN lately? Because Fox has been the single most important propaganda outlet propping him up through all this.

Just because the USPS wouldn't exist doesn't mean the feds wouldn't issue a zip code because with or without a postal service, they are just as dependent on the current system as everyone else

C2C - 2.0 posted:Re: long-term effects of this virus: I'm really, really worried about the economic fallout from this. Ignoring the fact that some parts of the country will "open" way too early & cause a second wave of the pandemic, the lingering issue when it's all said & done is going to be the unemployment. With loving MILLIONS out of a job right now, there's no way there's going to be a vacuum effect when things return to normal where everyone (me included) are gonna' find themselves back at their old jobs. Too many business' are currently losing their shirts & the uncertainty that will exist later this year isn't gonna' give an impetus for all of them to reopen. Hell, many won't ever open again. Michigan extended their UE payouts to 39 weeks. And per their website those that qualify (me being one of them) get a $600 a week additional payout till July. So that's plenty of time to bank some money should things really go tits up. So I won't exactly be livin' with lobster and caviar, but I'll be able to live a lot longer than under the standard system

Fox is doing its best to support him, but they realize that they can't outright bullshit, plus they ask actual questions. OAN is so far up his rear end they praise him, roll around in conspiracy theories like a pig in poo poo which makes Big Don feel better, and the questions they ask are such pointless, off topic softball questions that his slurring and off topic responses look like loving gold.

In chrome I just click on the little padlock to the left of the url, click cookies and delete the 3 or 4 cookies with their names on it, takes 5 seconds. Probably very similar in other browsers.

Too bad the FL Governor is a shithead who was not only late in shutting down much of the state, but will surely open it up prematurely causing a second wave of outbreaks, which means this park won't be able to open again for longer.

Taerkar posted:Pretty clever of Satan to be involved in the creation of the original church. No, apparently there was a really real church that existed from the time of Jesus till Christianity became the official Roman religion. The real church then was underground till the Reformation. Or as one king said at the time "Is it more likely that all of Christendom has been wrong for 1000 years or more or that one monk is right in his opinion?" The hatred of Catholics by Evangelicals is just bizarre to me. You will see them go on mission trips to places like Ireland or South America, places that have a long tradition of Catholicism. All because they're supposedly not saved because they didn't say they loved Jesus in exactly the right words.

The real church then was underground till the Reformation. Apropos of nothing, but this reminds of when Michael Moore had his own TV show in the UK. In one episode he made it his mission to end the troubles in Northern Ireland by ambushing people and baptizing them into Catholicism, I dont remember it going down very well
