No mask, no distancing, no Gates/Fauci/China vaccine, no app on my phone, and I will be shaking hands. I am not participating in the “new normal”.

"Knightly believes that with so many white-collar professions working remotely, employers are likely to ask hard questions about whether they need as much office space, and whether business travel is necessary. "

Out of sight and out of mind. Will your pink slip be delivered by hand or electronically?

New normal somewhere between a 10 year depression and venesuela. Gov doing exactly what they were doing in 1929 and in many ways worse. No evictions crazily inflating the currency

For a Yahoo article it was nice to see most of the comments were against the “new normal.” I recently started paying for more things with cash instead of debit to piss off the lefties.

Buncha fukin idiots with no perspective
or belief in human nature.

The social engineers are grabbing all the
power they can to rule the world.

How long before Trump and a few others say
enough of this bullshit and let’s get back
to the normal “normal” and the rest of
you losers can stay home and hide in the shadows.

For as long as I can remember Yahoo has had right-wing comments on a left-wing site. It’s never made sense

Soon or it will be too late.

Years go by fast and Trump is the last big hope. Hopefully he has four more years to get things back to normal

My "new normal" might be somewhat different that what they have in mind...

Right on. What a bunch scaredy cats there are preaching about the new normal. Sperm counts really are decreasing.

Social distancing and plexiglas shields are going to be with us for a long time.

Just the other day, Uber
Used one Tweet to lay off over 3000 drivers.
The speaker was crying a little as she said it, but the message was clear; “Good Morning, this is your last day of employment through Uber.
We deeply regret this unexpected announcement.”

Knightly believes that with so many white-collar professions working remotely, employers are likely to ask hard questions about whether they need as much office space, and whether business travel is necessary.

Last month, Barclays (BCS) CEO Jes Staley told reporters that “the notion of putting 7,000 people in a building may be a thing of the past.”

Cool, less drivers on the road. Those 9-5ers like to tailgate.

Urban sprawl coming to that nice neighborhood you live in soon. It’s the subplot from the article that is well worth the reading. We’re going to see the cities start to get crazy. As landlords start to foreclose and people start moving out those left behind will be in bad shape. Can’t afford to stay...can’t afford to leave.

But...the bigger thing is if you are not tech savvy you are going to get left behind. It’s going to be a bourgeois world for a while. Winging off to Las Vegas isn’t going to be happening for the old average joe. The spacing out of entertainment centers means they will need to double/triple their pricing to make a profit. Major entertainment for families...like a Disney vacay...nope. It will be out of reach for a majority of people. Go enjoy it without the crowds. They will only book you into the best hotels on the property. Older versions will be closed and torn down quickly. Right now there’s a push to keep restaurants up and operating. Many are not going to make it under the health department’s social distancing clauses. Price of a meal will have to go up ...not down in order to make a profit. Only the bourgeois will be able to afford it. Gone will be the days of eating out 5 times a week.

Liberals always talked about the ‘wealth gap,’ well they are about to see what a real ‘wealth gap,’ looks like. It is about to get incredibly obvious.

Best place to be right about now is small town, middle of the country, deplorable USA. Staying local, buying local, farming it out and maybe a remote job, enterprise, or a darn good book. Small towns generating their own micro-economies.

Just finished writing my own and grateful to get paid on it last week. Moving to set up online classes based off it and at least getting the tech end up and running. Editor isn’t releasing the book until August, but at least I’ve already been paid on it.

American life is moving into an interesting place. Will it bring about a return to the central family, slower pace and self-sufficiency? It will be a rocky road to get there.

Anybody offers me their hand, I will shake it. Fauci can be pretty wacky, sometimes.

Soon, every retailer will be forced by their insurance company to require masks and 6ft distancing by the customers in their stores, and it will be permanent.

It’s the same reason why so many retailers always post “No Guns” signs everywhere: The insurance companies demand it.

The only way to prevent Masks Everywhere Forever is for Congress to pass a COVID relief bill that includes an amendment for liability immunity from lawsuits by customers.

Ditto that. Trump needs to continue his pushback against this.
