  with many people's jobs been put and "on hold" and other people's jobs going away for good, i couldn't help but think about all the different jobs i've had over the years.

  i have been able to adapt and make do.

  maybe this will kick in again....or maybe not.

  Lower pay ,fewer benefits, part time. Amazon has a reputation as a slave driver.

  In the longer term think about the jobs that may come back. Be a machine technician or repairman or programmer. Engineer products or processses. Do not become the button pusher though. I became very good at looking at reengineering things to bring cost down, or just to make manufacturing feasible.

  My feeling is the waiting tables for tips and flipping burgers will decline.

  Do You Feel Your Rights Are Being Trampled On By Government Regarding Coronavirus?

  i support local and state and federal government’s power to safeguard the public.

  i wonder is it getting to a point where we will be told we can’t go out anymore, can’t use your phone or computer anymore because of the viruses that we can get, etc.

  are we prolonging this virus at all ?

  There is a big difference in can track you and will always do so.

  I am sure bots read everything here and elsewhere we post. I am sure my phone/computer/wifi listens to me picking out giveaway words.

  I think they are supposed to decide the amount sent each September looking at the financial well being of the congregation. it will be hard to maintain the same level if everyone doesnt get a new job. I expect a downward pressure on wages and hours and increase in living expenses.

  Does the assembly hall still cost $18000 a day to run? Asking for a friend.

  They didn't go as far as inventory here. So far 2 neighbors have brought something we needed. A witness has had some excess vegs, old. I know 2 women with non w husbands, one widow close by but have not heard details. All 3 have had neighbors looking in as a usual course for years, the same as my neighbors do me.

  I am mobile, have enough money to buy anything I want, but am not being greedy and buying things out from under others.

  I am not ready to bunker down, may have to do a Kevin

  My favorite is a cabernet sauvignon milkshake. Try it.

  The point is doing things because they can. i once got ticketed for 65 in a 55, the next year that same road went back to 65 after the gas crunch was over. Safety had nothing to do with it

  hi just had a whatsapp from a family member regarding a ldc zoom meeting in florida that sysco had a truckload of refrigerated foods from the cruise ships, called the witnesses palm beach and miami the food was donated for free.. many bro's are having trouble finding food , but jehovah always supplies and takes care of his people.. is this more fake news?.

  if this is true i doubt they will share with their neighbours..

  We have sysco food here too. Clumsy to none distribution. Restaurant size containers and a mismatch of things to make a meal. I dont know where the t bones went. Funniest thing is they have no grocery bags because everyone recycles to keep the earth clean.

  Br. Adept is keeping up with his group, while br. Lacking cant even call to see if there are any needs. I am br. Unqualified.

  Sysco is helping any and all food banks too.

  This thread is not about Covid-19

  2. experiences

  every single news item, on every single news channel, and the majority of threads on this site, for the past three weeks seem to be either directly or indirectly related to covid-19.

  is nothing else happening in the world?

  has putin stopped slaughtering syrian civilians?

  Cant even get a decent earthquake, fire, tornado. But we get the president interrupting. Refusing to answer stupid questions. local governor and mayor take an hour telling mostly anecdotes.

  States and counties forbidding property owners from traveling to other properties. Picking winner and loser businesses depending on hazy criteria. Liquor can stay open, ice cream not. Pawns with federal firearms license can stay open. Big chains with groceries still can sell lawn, clothes, home decor. Appliance stores closed unless they also sell nuts and bolts or lumber. I can't see my dentist. I cant go to an outdoor rifle range.

  I do understand the resort towns wanting fewer ( take your choice) Californians. New York, texas, big city overloading their Obamized hospitals.

  Yes my rights are trampled. " papers please"
