My take that if they were going to lockdown the country in order to stop the spread of a virus, they should have been working on ways to make sure people can get food and supplies without having everyone cram into their local supermarket? Because then you've basically defeated the entire purpose of shutting everything else down.

In other countries they've done things like allowing certain neighborhoods to have one day a week where they can go to the store and that's it. Just asking why that has never been considered here. Also, learn to read and GGP

Kroger limiting customers seems like an odd business practice for a hoax imo


(I see you up there jumping on my schtick but since we’re in the end times and the only survivors will be those of us with tactical pens, I’ll allow it)

* Things I'm really, really, like soooooo over right now....

- social distance shaming

* The Governor of Mississippi just declared April "Confederate Heritage Month."

:joy::joy:

https://www.jacksonfreepress.com/ne...v-tate-reeves-proclaimed-confederate-heritag/

I'm 100% in favor of leaving statues in place, but celebrating treason and an army that declared war on the United States is pretty strange. JMO.

* As someone who sells health insurance for a living, I've always thought the public health/preventive measures are left out of the equation way too often. If there's one thing I hope comes out of this positively, it's a focus on diet and exercise. So simple.

* Little Fires Everywhere has been absolutely fantastic. Reese Witherspoon is just fantastic in that role.

* Started on The Sopranos yesterday.

* My workout schedule:

- every other day either 10-12ish mile run or 5-6ish mile walk.
- 30 minute hit/core workout

* It's gonna be interesting to see which sports commissioner has the balls/ingenuity to start his league back up first. Personally, I'm very disappointed in the PGA Tour. That has to be the easiest sport to get up and running again. It's easy to play without fans, the players are separated by the greatest distance of any sport, the equipment is only handled individually, almost everyone travels on their own.....come on, fellas.

* My current residence has the highest per capita death rate from COVID-19 of any county in the world. Soooo......when's the free pornhub account open up? This is ridiculous.

Players, caddies, staff, TV execs, tour execs, etc....100% of them travel, and many internationally. Quite a few will more than likely quarantine once they get to the first event...anything late May/early June fits into a good timeline, especially if our "lockdown" rolls into May or early opening phases begin with the economy.

^^^That doesn't even include the host courses and their ability to be ready for the first couple of events, fans or no fans.

This would probably be one of the hardest sports to get up and running, and a 6-8 week notice is needed.

* What didn't get a long enough leash is Deadwood. Al Swearengen was the Shakespear of our generation and should have been been a 5-7 season series. Instead cut down just as it was hitting its stride and HBO still hadn't figured out their proprietary model.

* HIIT, not hit.

* Passed out twice at the Red Cross yesterday. Was told I need more sugar and less salad bars in my diet. Whatever, I play by MY rules, not yours, Big Blood.

* So the rough draft is MLB fired up and exclusively in Scottsdale come May, hockey landlocked to South Dakota and the NBA in Vegas? Geographic poetic justice for each sports league.

* ZOOM being filled with Chinese spyware that's hacking into folks chat rooms and stealing data must be Phase 2 of the CCP global domination plan.

^I'd probably take The Wire as well but it's close.

-Speaking of good series, Schitt's Creek finale tonight. I expected it to be a mindless background watch and turned in to a hell of a show.

-UKO is kinda right, still a lot of behind the scenes moving parts for a golf tournament including lots of travel. NBA/MLB is on to something with centralizing games and quarantining players. That's just so hard. The projections are showing deaths to be less than 200 per day by June. WE'll get some crowdless sports this summer. Probably, and for a good reason, going to be that way for months though.

-The guy that was just making fun of "midwits" yesterday (guess that means he views himself as a genius) is asking why we don't just shut down groceries. K.

-Kentucky leads the world in smoking, copd, fats, diabeetus, and about every other unhealthy stat you can come up with which is why I called out the idiots celebrating our premature victory over Tn in the covid battle.

-Is nice to see a little optimism world wide though. Dow certainly feeling confident to start the week.

-Had put a hard spend freeze on but 30% off Bonobos and VV was too much. Needed a couple new items. Those sales are pretty wild, 20-40% off practically every online retailer.

-Waiting patiently to see what FW has up his sleeve on the transfer line. Haarms seems like exactly the recruit for Justus.

-How's the vaping Chase? Still in the pond?

“Why don’t we have stronger restrictions on how many people can enter a store and when they can go? Maybe increase pick up options”

is not the same as

“shut down grocery stores and let people turn to cannibalism”

Anthony, pti, and hank all on the same side is pretty much driving my point home

Juul is still in the pond. Zyn tobaccoless dip is getting the job done for now. I'm sure that's just the next thing I'll need to quit, but lip danger is better than lung danger in a respiratory pandemic.

lmao that's hilarious.

The Wire is horribly cast and acted. Half the f'ers have cockney accents, ffs.

Great show and unique concept, far from GOAT status....

...and we won't even talk about whatever those last couple seasons were. I know what happened with that show after season 1, and David Simon made the absolute best out of **** situation there, but the last leg of that show with the journalist stuff was embarrassing.

I know it sounds totally bizarre, but I typically go to the grocery store during off-peak hours. During a pandemic, a world war, a termite swarm, the rapture, an ice storm, etc. What's amazing is that you can easily get in and out in a short time frame and with minimal hassle.

It's like a superpower of mine, basically.

Really? Didn't see anyone at my local Krogers(s) keeping tabs on how many people were in the store until yesterday. They just put little stickers on the floor for social distancing purposes last week (nothing about multiple people in the same aisle, which happens all the time).

The point is, for the past 3 weeks, basically as many people as normal could go to the grocery, be in relatively close contact, touch whatever they wanted on the shelves, etc. That seems like something that should have been accounted for earlier is all I'm saying.

I'm paranoid as **** when I have to go to the grocery: gloves, mask, hat, sanitizer, etc. The works, really.

That said, the saddest stuff I've witnessed has been elderly folks shopping for themselves without any precautions. WTF, man.

Also saw a few mothers in there recently with 2-3 kids by their side. Again, no precautions. Everyone has "situations," I suppose. But this seemed pretty avoidable. Click List. Delivery. I mean, come on. If for no other reason but to prevent them from witnessing society under strain from a GD global pandemic.

Not a law ball, but I think HB415 essentially enables the direct shipment of wine, beer, and liquor into and out of KY. It doesn't have any effect on out-of-state retailers, however. That's the next hurdle. Last year, the SCOTUS ruled in favor of Total Wine in a case against Tennessee citing the Commerce Clause, but the downstream effects are slow and not completely fleshed out. HB415 is one good thing that has come out of this shutdown. Just waiting on Beshear's signature I think.

-just had a tiny man from Cincinnati* curse at me. Decorum/best risk management practices prevented me from choking the life out of a midget, gang. All because I asked him to provide *detail* for a problem with his project. In short(see what I did there) he knew he was wrong...classic tactic, but I've been around a while.

*no one we know.

Kind of depressed that I've never done anything that led to a mayor using a drone to yell profanity at me, tbh.

With that kind of decision-making, I'm *SHOCKED* they were rocked by COVID.
