I don't think having kids are very good for people's work but people with children are looked more fondly upon for management positions or higher ranking positions especially if they're male and people marry/have kids specifically with their careers in mind because they're pretty messed up. There are sororities that groom women just to be wives for men like this

What's the status with businesses there? Is everything open for them to go to downtown or are people just thinking "city dirty, country air clean"

how is "lake of the ozarks" an actual place name, it sounds like a cut-rate fantasy novel location

It's in the Ozarks and is a lake. Hence Lake of the Ozarks. It's a huge party/vacation spot for a big chunk of Missouri. It's the kind of place where lake houses were and often still are cheap enough for anyone even close to upper middle class to have one.

There's also good fishing to be had if you hit the less busy arms. The main body of the lake is nuts though.

And there's also thousands of one bedroom condos around the lake in huge complexes that go for like $50k so it's one of the cheapest places in the country to have a vacation home if you really want one.

the other side of this is that single middle aged straight white men are straight up organizational poison. really anyone who only has the job, and nothing else in their life, is poison and chases away anybody competent at working with other people in a healthy way

If you avoid the bars and party cove and whatever you could avoid the plague somewhat effectively I guess? I sure as poo poo wouldn't be there on a holiday weekend at least.

Yep. There was a line to the alternating road at my local Dunkin' Donuts, and a friend said at Walmart today for every one person with a mask he saw, there were at least 3 more without one

It has been pretty good watching the "leftist media" have meltdowns about lockdowns and masks. They all had it months ago so no worries.

Say that to corporate who wants you to sleep under your cart tonight because of the build at 4am and will you look at that it's 10 already.

It depends on where you are located in the organization but I feel you

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


The big six figgies is just a day away. Gonna be a while before the next order of magnitude, though.

I remember someone earlier in the thread posting the top annual cause of death numbers, I think cracking 100k leaves Coronavirus only a few 10ks away from claiming like third most common cause of death in the U.S. for 2020. It's kind of insane how big a hit society can take in terms of raw deaths, illness, and economic disruption, and still not be able to overcome the political inertia of people wanting to go shopping.

The only gunshot I've heard in my neighborhood is some guy doming himself with a shotgun in his garage 3 years ago. Had no idea until the ambulances came. Thought it was fireworks.
