good news: EMPLOYMENT
AMAZON looking to hire 100,000 people. Warehouse and delivery (except from the warehouse that would have gone into AOC’s district, but oh well, she was so smart)
Amazon looking for entrepreneurs to set up local delivery services. Giving warehouse employees $2/raise. If you’ve been furloughed, they have a job for you.

Youngster has started a delivery service in her neighborhood for elderly. Has people emailing for assistance and people wanting to pay grocery bills of others. Also worldwide attention and people sending her signs of their own. This all in response to a handwritten flyer she posted on her neighborhood light pole.
Here is an article discussing the new British model/ report.

“Giving warehouse employees $2/raise.”
Because they have a lot of people calling in sick or just outright quitting. That’s happening in a lot of warehouses, distribution centers and grocery stores.
People are like, “F THIS! I hated my job anyway, they treat me like crap, they don’t pay me much. I can live without this. I don’t want to get sick.”
These counties have their own health departments and regulations. Jumping the gun like this makes them, and localism in general, passe.

“Dollar General dedicates first hour of opening to seniors”
But what ARE the hours? I didn’t see that in the article.
Looks like most open around 08:00, according to their website (CG’s website).
From the Covid-19 Files

“Shoham further pointed out that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but some laboratories in the Institute are related to the Chinese Army or the Chinese Communist Party’s biological weapons program. And the Institute is not the only one. The CCP has three other institutes engaged in the development of biological weapons.”
And our Harvard professor who was arrested is associated with this Wuhan Institute and Chinese Military Spies.
Wife saw it on facebook. She works third shift and gets done at 6:30am and often hits DG on her way home but won’t be able to go there unless she waits a while or happens to get off late. No biggie because we’re pretty well stocked up.
My random morning thought while making coffee; Dr Ben Carson being in the task force, I think is not because of his expertise in the area, because it’s not his specialty but because he is a Doctor, highly intelligent but most important of all, someone Trump can trust. Trump understands all these medical terms and lingo about as much as I do, which is pretty much not at all but he trusts Dr Carson and Dr Carson trusts him and has ever since the republican debates. They’re complete opposites except for them both having a good heart.
Having thought of this, Carson being there makes me feel better because I don’t fully trust Pence and I don’t know who the others really are except that as of this morning, I see Dr Fauci was/is a Clinton groupie.
Being a prepper to varying degrees for the last 12 years, culminating with moving half way across the country, from Ctrl FL to rural MO, has been something my wife put up with. She seems ok with it now. I’ve always wondered what I’d feel when/if the sthf. Dammit, why did I have to be right is all I can say/think. That and, this sucks or dammit, I shouldn’t have slacked off at times.
Ours is supposed to be 8am but they tend to open early most of the time so I don’t think it’s set in stone and it depends on location.

Another vanity comparing flu(bro) to coronavirus.
More of; They’re doing this just to get Trump.
Quite an amazing global effort, I must say.
