laom the fact they're throwing in "financial exigencies" in there means they're just not paying because they don't want to. The "state rules" part is just a red herring so that you don't kill them :thermidor:

They bill themselves as "a social club for singles." They organise group events specifically for singles so you can meet and presumably hook up afterwards. While every other company has gone into full blown "look how responsible we're being!" mode, their ads are still fully on the "HOT AND HORNY SINGLES IN YOUR AREA" page.

I had to leave my phone at home to charge and couldn't get a picture unfortunately, but the local Von's grocery store had "All Sales Final" plastered every few feet of the store front, a nice "gently caress you" to everyone that hoarded $500-700 bucks in groceries last week and now these buttknockers can't afford rent and utilities.

That's a big thing that is happening here too. They're specifically making it for stuff that people are hoarding as the extra gently caress you. Wanted to try buying it all up and flipping it for a markup and that isn't working because the supply chain isn't hosed? Suck it chucklefuck you have 25 years of tp now, poo poo more.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
The dealer I bought my car from five years ago sent me an email with the usual blah blah blah cleaning blah in it but they ended with:

“We take COVID-19 very seriously and are constantly monitoring the situation around the globe. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at 123-123-1234”


It reads like:

“Honey, how much longer will we have a shelter in place rule?”

“I don’t know. Let’s call East Side Subaru.”

To Our Valued Customers,
I wanted to take a moment to personally reach out to you, our valued customer, and let you know of the enhanced protocols that have been put into place at each dealership in the Cooper Autogroup. We are closely monitoring new developments regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) and we assure you that the health and safety of our customers and employees is our #1 priority. We are vigilantly analyzing developments from local, national and international health agencies, and we are taking actions to comply with their directives as needed.

Our dealership is thoroughly cleaned each night, and we've taken extra measures to raise our usual standards of cleanliness and health safety. Maintaining the status quo has never been good enough for the Joe Cooper Family…and it shouldn’t be for you either. Please know that our intention is to be a leader in meeting the challenge of the coronavirus.

What We Are Doing Differently:

We have implemented several new policies and procedures, which follow recommendations from the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH).
Our teams are actively wiping down high traffic areas throughout the day. We encourage you to utilize the hand sanitizers that are conveniently located throughout the dealership. We are temporarily discontinuing our regularly offered food services in our customer lounges as an added safety measure.
We have specialized crew coming in nightly and thoroughly disinfecting the dealership with professional sanitizing equipment.
We are following all CDC guidelines for businesses and employers. We are asking any employees to stay home if they feel ill and we ask clients to exercise good judgement if they have traveled to high-impact areas, been exposed to a COVID-19 patient or feel ill.
Based on these proactive actions that have been implemented, we are confident that our dealerships will continue to be a safe place to conduct business and we will remain open to best serve your automotive needs. The health and safety of our loyal customers and employees will always be our most important consideration, especially in these challenging circumstances. We appreciate your business and loyalty to the Joe Cooper Family. We ask you to contact our team if you are in need of assistance, have questions or concerns. We have been serving Oklahoma since 1946, and we are proud to continue that tradition today.

Best Regards,

Joe Cooper

Hi Dirk,
At Twilio, we know firsthand the critical—even life-saving—role communications play in times of crisis.
We support thousands of organizations, like yours and others across countless industries, to engage their customers, deepen meaningful relationships, and build trusted communications efforts that support business growth.
Continued availability and delivery for our customers is something we take very seriously, and our support of you remains steadfast.
As our CEO Jeff said in his recent message, we have full confidence in our ability to support our customers as this situation evolves, and encourage you to reach out to your Twilio account executive if there’s anything we can do to assist you further, including thinking through new ideas and ways of using Twilio technologies to reach your end users in this difficult time.
As an organization, we have shifted to a fully remote workforce; we’ve strengthened our support systems to ensure we’re ready for spikes in usage and unusual workload.
We’ve heard from many of you that further guidance would help you navigate these uncertain waters.
I’d like to share some insight we’ve gathered, related to three key issues: crisis communications, elastic comms and infrastructure, and business continuity.
Please contact us here or reach out to your account executive directly to talk more about this dynamic and sometimes frightening situation. We’re closely monitoring the situation, and look forward to continuing to support you through and beyond this time of crisis.

Dear LEGO® Fan,

The health and safety of children and communities worldwide is our top priority.

That’s why we are temporarily closing the LEGO® Brand Retail stores we own and operate until at least March 27th in all countries except China. We are pleased to hear that for our stores in Shanghai and Beijing, life is slowly starting to return to normal.

Our online store on LEGO.com remains open, and you can find our latest updates at LEGO.com/service/help.

This is a constantly changing situation. However, one thing we do know for sure is that our fans remain as awesome as ever. It’s inspiring to see so many of you around the world looking after one another, and we take strength from the fact that play and learning can bring families together for moments of joy, even at the most uncertain times.

Stay safe, stay strong and stay awesome!

Rough. That, and the Britannia hotels one above, have absolutely enraged me.

One (potential) positive that may come from this, a lot of people are realising (belatedly) that we are not in any way ‘all in this together’. There is a possibility there may be some positive change from this. The Britannia hotel chain are getting hammered on social media in the UK, for instance.

An estate agent (realtor company, i guess, for you yanks) that a friend works for laid people off last week. As SOON as the pandemic hit, they just HAD to let those people go. I’m sure they feel so bad about their staff. So bad.
