Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #46

I agree...I just added a large amount to my next grocery delivery. I don't eat meat but for whatever reason a lot of the vegan replacements are hard to get as well.

I've noticed that too. I wonder if the meat is selling out and people who don't usually buy replacements are turning to them instead. I miss my veggie burgers!

Southern California also depends heavily on Casinos. There are 3 huge ones within 12 miles of our home. Not just for gambling, but live entertainment and dining.
Many, many people employed by these Casinos.

Idk Katy but it’s gonna be real bad news for my son if they don’t reopen. He is the supervising leader for game tech casino operations and machine production for the Choctaw Nation Casinos in our state. He’s off work since the casino closures but on call right now for the corporation. I’ll let you know as soon as he hears something. He’s worked for the owners for eight years and even lived on their property as manager for a long time so I know he will be on the list of priority notification calls. This is huge for Oklahoma. Our tribes rely on this income. Our reservations are sometimes overlooked economically and socially. I know the proper politically correct name is Native American. I still call myself a Cherokee/Choctaw Indian. That’s what my great grandparents called us so it’s good enough for me. Ma and Pa sat on the front porch in their rocking chairs on that huge hill with their drinking well. Ma spitting her chewing tobacco in that old coffee can. I think I’m stuck in the old simpler days of my youth. Why did it seem so different back then? Maybe because we were naive to national chaos and lived in our own little protective bubble.

What we're seeing in Canada is that when politicians say things that raise eyebrows, someone turns it into a jingle and t-shirt slogan. Two examples are "speaking moistly" and "stay the blazes home." Media continues to report, rather than predict, news, and Canadians continue to find good humour between the lines.

Kentuckians have also turned Gov. Andy Beshear’s warnings about the virus into t-shirts.

oh...btw... how can one get the blazes t-shirt....?? This is really starting to grow on me. Is there a source you can provide!!!!

It’s grown on me, too. I’d love to get some of the “Andy says” shirts out of Kentucky, too.

This thread is closed for cleanup.

At this point almost 100 posts are being removed due to politicizing and bickering. Do NOT ask for an explanation as we are short staffed and Mods and Admins are going through Covid issues along with the rest of you.

For those members who persist in politicizing, thread bans or TOs may be issued.

Take a breather, have a cuppa whatever, and the thread will reopen with a link to the new thread when we have time to get it set up.
