Me too. Does that mean we’ve been drafted?

Where can I buy my war bonds to fund this?

If the people who need to stay home from jobs they really need the money for or shutter small businesses that are their whole life don’t do it…we lose the war.
How about instead of checks to everyone, just dump money into the unemployment fund. waive some of the requirments (like looking for work).
Better idea to me.

Yup
Lets start paying people to stay home
There was once 3 little pigs and they had to build their house. They could choose from hay, sticks or bricks? The hay didn’t require much time to build and you could go out and play much sooner if this was your choice. The next was sticks and lastly, the hardest and what took the most effort was to build your house with bricks. One day, the corona wolf came to blow your house down. Which little piggy in the story…are you in real life?

They furloughed the school bus drivers here (me) for two weeks (for starters). The union contract has language associated with “declared state wide emergencies” so when the governor ordered schools closed for 2 weeks? A paid vacation. Not sure if it will be extended past the 27th, the spring break was scheduled to begin the following week. I’m of the opinion they’ll extend through Easter then reassess. We wouldn’t have gotten paid during spring break so I’m hoping those $1,000.00 checks start rolling in!!

I think they are up to $1200 now.
Now to sit back and see who will still have that breadcrumb money in their savings this time next year.

Given the popularity of this post, it doesn’t surprise me that there is conservative disdain for the poor and middle class being forced out of their jobs, all the while Lord Trump is gunning for a massive $2trillion package that might include their salaries for 4 months. 
Also, I hope you say thank you to the cashier at the grocery store or the person loading all those trucks so you can stay safe at home. Or the nurses and medical professionals getting sick and dying with the rest. Funny that billionaire CEOs don’t seem that much use in time of war except to pay others to fight it for them
The stinking hoarders lol.

Aren’t the hoarders the ones out there buying up all the buttwipes? lol
Yes.
I lucked out in that I keep my supplies stocked. Well, maybe it’s not luck, but those empty paper aisles in the stores are a joke. A bad joke.

My nearest wal-mart is 21 miles away, so I do my main grocery and supply runs once a month each during pay week. The last runs were when the panic was just starting to pick up in my area, so I was still able to get our toiletries and such. Had to go back a few days later when the infant supplies were delivered so I could get formula and baby wipes.
Last time I went, I was talking to one of the cashiers I used to work with there, and she told me the supply trucks are still coming in every day on time, with no shortage of deliverable goods. It’s just that people are still buying faster than they can restock (good for me because because delivery times haven’t changed in 15 years).
Still have three weeks until the next grocery run. That’s a whole 'nother incubation period, so hopefully the store won’t look so Russian then.

I just heard an interview of a grocery cashier who said customers are spending three and four hundred dollars regularly and that was rare before.
I wouldn’t doubt it. I’m normally one of the only people in the store using two carts when I go. I probably looked like all the other jackasses last time. lol
You went from unique to just another jackass.

Maybe. But it’s not like the military draft. It’s like the NFL draft where our work dreams are realized!
