Actually the two worst states for budgeting are...New York and...California

Then there's this: https://www-cbsnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/coronavirus-antibody-test-explained-accuracy-immunity/?amp_js_v=a3&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#app

That take out is a mere fraction of the employee. Think of all the bartenders, servers in all restaurants, baristas etc...they all earn 4 to 5 an hour plus tips. Those workers are making much more than they would be if they were working full shifts.

Same. My dome was a good shade of red from Sunday

That's the great question now. I'm kinda getting tired of information overload and what is true what is not. I'm getting tested next Friday with my wife (who thankfully tested negative at the time of her test last week) for the antibodies to see if we were ever positive or have immunity. I, like you, am hoping that if you I can had it you will be immune.

Oh you haven't heard? It's now been stated after, I believe it was senator Rand Paul, was walking around without a mask on be cause he said he tested positive for it. The doctors have quickly said not so fast we are not sure how long anyone who has contracted the virus us immune, if at all, due to there being many strains. This is becoming bullshit.

So my next trip is to Hawaii for 28 days...

The ominous signs that are in front of us are real and we could very well be entering an era of no turning back. If this continues, with the bullshit political sparring only ramping up, we will be damaging, potentially forever, the world we once new only 2 months ago. The possibilities exist that we will never get back to any thing that resembles normal in any walk of life. I'm not scared of what that holds but it be lying if I didn't say I wasn't nervous how many Americans will never be whole after this, whenever that is.

Love Lenco but their hours are too damn short!

Funny you should mention that! My wife works at a nursing home in Tonawanda and she received $1150 in a bonus that will be given once a month for the foreseeable future. This must be a part of the stimulus package because trust me when I say this it didn't come from the ownership group.

In lighter yet still relevant news, the local gas stations must've switched to the "summer blend" as prices spiked (at the Seneca reservation at least) some 25 to 30 cents this morning. Welcome to travel season...errr too soon?

This reminds me of hee haw meets the gong show...this is such an epic circus...

I am. I was just at my doctors office for blood work for a physical and I am getting a script by text shortly to enter a portal and go to a quest stop. I'll keep you updated

Spit balling? Middle of 2021. Only when a vaccine is approved and countries all have the vaccine will that happen. Until then I think many if not all countries will be very protective of foreigners.

Buffalo/suburbs; Rochester/suburbs: Syracuse might be on the fence, same with Albany; rest of down state also extended. These are just my opinion not fact

It incensed me when my wife let me know this was the plan from Albany. In my opinion the State DOH is either corrupt, inept or both. My wife works at a sub par facility, which was never a great facility, it was well run and had good staff. That gas changed since the ownership group who purchased some 5 years ago that resides in NYC has destroyed whatever was good there with horrible decisions on management, workers and what type of patient they want. On many occasions my wife has bern certain her facility would be slapped with at minimum hefty fines or more serious punishments for many various violations yet the DOH looks the other way. They need to be investigated.

My wife just text me the state DOH just rolled up with 4 surveyors to investigate the findings of their facility to see if protocol was followed...they will not be surprised with their answers...

Wells, in this scenario at least, has it right. They have a plan to actually help their customers.

What's worse is most banks are allowing the deferred payments to be added to the back end of the loan...just for giggles I called in to my mortgage company, which will remain nameless to protect the moronic, to see what it's policy was...theyre allowing a 6 month deferment, the catch is it's all due the moment the 6 months is up...in my scenario if needed ( were good) would be $12,156 paid back immediately...i laughed so hard I had to hang up...

That is correct. My sister in-law is in radiology at O'shei children's, they're giving it the old "volunteer" or we'll decide mantra. Even though she has been there (from Hodge to now) 12 years she's low rung on the ladder so if no one volunteers she's as good as furloughed.

That's exactly what I explained to my wife yesterday when she was quizzical about how the hospitals were losing money and I said simply many of the surgeries, cosmetic, open heart, not essential, etc weren't being performed which is terrible for the bottom line. Add in copious amounts of overtime at crazy hourly rates (think up to $90+ an hour) and some hospitals will be forced into some very difficult decisions in the near term.

So while the Seneca gas stations are properly pricing (shoot it might be .50 cents a gallon by the weekend) the local stations are still above $2.20 a gallon. I understand the amount of consumption is down nearly 75% however you can't tell me with a straight face that cheaper gas hasn't been delivered at least once during the last month. This needs to be looked at for gouging.

I spoke to my neighbor across the street yesterday who I close friends with a few of the people named in the Tim Graham article. He states the piece is 100% accurate and that the pegulas put money into entities and side business that are failing or bleeding money. What's worse is they're not putting the blame in themselves for over spending. It seems they are being petulant in their reasoning and insulating themselves by hiring close family only

They are run by some incredibly incompetent and narcissistic people.
