  1. This is a multiple decades long problem coming to a head. Minimum wage has not followed the cost of living for like 40 years now. It should be probably double what it is now. The pandemic assistance has given folks a security blanket to balk at working for minimum wage. It’s unfortunate for small businesses, but at the same time, minimum wage should have increased a lot more in the last 30-40 years.
  2. Can’t wait for them to trade down for 8 5th round picks
  3. Not as much as virtual real estate.
  4. That made my head want to explode. Some of this stuff is ridiculous. Virtual land lol
  5. First time... and great. I honestly don’t even care at this point, I’ll swim if I have too. I’ve had like 4 outings planned this year and zero have worked out so far
  6. That was a low blow by Phin. Everyone’s gotta work. Amazon drivers make decent $$
  7. I just think it’s kind of unfair to compare the two places. There is a ton of people packed into a very small area in mass, especially eastern ma. I’m not defending mass and their approach, just saying it’s difficult to compare to very different places
  8. There would be no tolerance for the way Canada has handled this here. hasn’t there vaccine rollout been abysmal?
  9. Yeah... that caveat of crowds really toned down the actual progress the message relayed. People are counting it as a huge step forward, when in reality, it’s basically still said you need a mask when around others outdoors. Either you do or you don’t. That was a half measure yesterday
  10. A lot of it is the new head of the CDC. Getting on national television a few weeks ago and uttering the words “impending doom” was downright embarrassing and pure fear mongering. Totally irresponsible
  11. I’ll believe it when I see it on the August first no restriction stuff. Does that include masks? Like I said... color me skeptical we are wide open by august 1
  12. Second moderna on Thursday.... told my boss not to expect me Friday.
  13. Elon is a lot of things, but being a con man and a fraud might be his best qualities
  14. This is actually a half decent take I think. The power of large corporations in this country is one of the single biggest issues facing America right now.
  15. Sounds like someone owns a few shares.
  16. It may be a very millennial thing for me to say, but it isn’t easy being a young up and coming adult in the United States these days. Long gone are the days of a family of 8 getting by comfortably on the fathers truck driver salary. I read an article that if minimum wage kept up with inflation/cost of living, it would currently be around $24 an hour.
  17. Saturday looks wet on the 18z gfs... seems like potential for any one of the next like 7 days to turn kind of crappy. Spin the wheel of misfortune
  18. That headline is truly pure unmitigated garbage. It should be criminal to lead with that and then the article says almost the exact opposite. Basically, they aren’t even sure if it was linked to the vaccine, it would even be more than what you would expect in the general population.
