So I’m guessing most of these morons in Harrisburg are from the rural parts of the state? Where through little to no effort of their own have been protected from major outbreaks because of their communities infrastructure being spread out naturally. Now are probably increasing the chances of possibly spreading this thing through this gathering.

Uh Oh. Mickey and his brother Sammy finally got a good look at her and were like

Mickey was lovestruck and Sammy was mumbling something about Pimping, but either way they wanted me to ask

That's the only way they'll learn

It's ok. With those communities' robust hospital capacity, I'm sure they'll be fine.

I have it on good authority that this is from inside a potter county hospital

Regarding the haircut thing. Czech secretary of health said earlier today, quote, "Yes, many non-essential bussinesses will be open from April the 20th on - however, hairdressers are not going to open yet. Do not even attempt to invite the hairdresser to your place. We have no tools how to monitor this - but if we find out, you will be fined."

If you are non ugly. We will find you. We will fine you.

Update on shooter...the good and bad.

The bad is that they are saying at least 19 have died....with 3 burnt structure still to go thru. Also, there were 16 crime scenes in total they are saying, so expect the death toll to rise.

The good: "Meet Zoe. Zoe was injured by a gunshot during the rampage that shook Nova Scotia to it's core on April 19th, 2020. Constable Rodney MacDonald was able to get Zoe to Central Nova Veterinary Clinic in time for Jennifer McKay to work her magic. After a lengthy surgery Jennifer was able to get Zoe all fixed up. She will be staying at the vets until she is fully healed and then will be coming home to a family member."

Regarding the oil talk, it’s my belief this would be a great time to double down on finding an alternate viable source of energy.

I don’t for a second believe it’s not possible, but the drive to make it happen needs to be there.

Or we can continue down the path of the same fools who thought whale oil would light our homes till the end of time.

I haven’t really read much into other than your postings. Did the guy burn buildings down too on top of shooting people as part of his rampage?

In a few weeks many "Red' areas will be singing a different tune.

Most people just don't get exponential growth, while the doubling rates may be lower in lower density areas, these people still meet in church, bars, restaurants and grocery stores.

If they defy or avoid lockdowns, inevitably they'll have a couple asymptomatic individuals who'll spread the virus for a week or two, depending when they develop symptoms and are identified or are no longer contagious.

If you look at the John Hopkins maps, check the one by population rates, you'll see the non-urban areas gradually getting darker the last week. We're already seeing this in northern Florida and southern Georgia, Louisiana, and a number of hot spots in the Midwest and Great Plains. These will continue to grow over the next few weeks.

The virus doesn't respect political affiliation.
It hit the Blue States hard b/c they are the ones with the biggest cities.
Now it's marching onto the less populated regions.

I'm still trying to figure out why we're worried about 50k coal jobs when over 3 million work in the renewable energy field

U.S. oil benchmark crashes below $0 a barrel to mark historic plunge

Oil price collapses to below zero as demand takes a dive during pandemic

It went negative...

Old money … something something… and I'll stop before politics rolls into it.

That's a short-term blip due to the structure of future markets.

The key to watch are the futures prices a month or two out, that tells you the expectations of market actors. Those prices are driven by companies that actually purchase oil to refine, speculators generally provide liquidity but rarely dictate market prices.

The glut of oil creates storage problems, there's a cost to storage in both leasing or building capacity, and deterioration of crude over time. So that makes buyers less willing to be caught with excess oil, even when the price declines, until they think future prices will be high enough to justify the cost of holding crude for a few months.

I just spoke to my brother about oil who is in this world more than I am. He said to stay away more than jump in. I’d equate it to selling flyers tickets for an Ottawa senators game. If they are giving away seats for a game on Wednesday, do you really want to buy season tickets on Thursday? Now if you could save that ticket in a barrel in your back yard and if you could use it when they are good in 10 years; that’s a different story.

Yes he did. Not much details have come out about those dwellings yet, but it was Saturday night where people heard gunshots....then saw fires were at 3 different places within the area.

I will keep updating as I hear more.

So, I was on the way to pick up my dog from the vet and these two little fellas started following my car. When I opened the window they started to come right over. I suppose I could have let them in the car and Tikaani could have had some lunch on the way home...

 

[FlyerNutter]

Those ain’t fellas.

Those are ladies that would be great for egg laying.

The small business fund ran out of money because of big businesses like Ruth's Chris. And they didn't even keep paying their employees.

A raw deal

before the money ran out, Ruth's Hospitality Group, the parent company of Ruth’s Chris Steak House, was able to secure a $20 million loan. How did a company with thousands of employees and over $441 million in revenue last year — and $86 million cash reserves — benefit from this fund while thousands of real small businesses received nothing?

The law contained an exception for restaurant chains as long as the chain didn’t have more than 500 employees at any single location. Ruth’s Hospitality Group exploited that exception by applying through two corporate subsidiaries, obtaining twice the limit for a single company on April 7. Ruth’s Hospitality Group was able to get to the front of the line because JP Morgan Chase, like many banks, gave preference to companies that had a preexisting banking relationship.

This all might be defensible if Ruth’s Hospitality Group was using the money to keep its hourly restaurant workers, like servers and bartenders, on its payroll until it can reopen. But Popular Information has learned that this is not the case.

Massive furloughs at Ruth’s Chris

The cash infusion has not been used to save the jobs of rank-and-file workers, according to the company’s own statements and furloughed employees who spoke to Popular Information.

People somehow still don't understand how easy some dots are to connect because the actors involved have no idea how to cover their tracks.
