There’s a 50% chance the Patriots wind up with Trevor Lawrence. Watch, they’ll rebuild better than everyone else too.
-
The town doesn’t accept credit cards (probably because of the fees). Debit card fees are closer to 1%.
-
My town charges a $1 fee to process utility payments online. Obviously, there’s a cost to processing payments electronically, but I’d be willing to bet that cost is less than what is costs to have an employee book a physical check to the correct account and then bring that check to the nearest bank branch.

The 2020 Summer Olympics are likely postponed, according to an IOC member. Seems to me the most logical move would be to back them up a full year, so as to give ample time for containment of COVID-19 and keep athletes’ calendars as normal as possible. At this point, I think the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing are 50/50.

It sounds like Wisconsin *only* added 35 cases since yesterday’s update. The state total is now at 416. That’s encouraging, right?

Day 10 of Lockdown: I finally let my young son mix his Play-Doh colors together ... just don’t care anymore.

Here’s a potential upside to COVID-19 for Midwesterns: The pandemic will rapidly normalize WFH and companies in major metro areas will realize they don’t have to pay someone $100,000 to do a job that someone else in the Midwest is willing to do for $70,000.

The Bears are in line to receive a 6th round compensatory pick for Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix. I know that’s how the system works, but it seems a more equitable way to award compensatory picks would be on players that teams drafted and/or developed (like Rookie FAs). Since that’s not how it works, I’m surprised more GMs don’t offer slightly more generous one year contracts to recently released FAs knowing they’d be in-line for a comp pick when the player signs elsewhere next year. The Patriots have done this for two decades.
-
I’m generally of that same mindset. They already have a Pro Bowl QB, so they should focus on other areas to improve the team. However, history shows you don’t pass on Aaron Rodgers because you have Brett Favre.

I’d venture a guess that Japan being a literal island helps reduce transmission.
-
Should I receive any stimulus money, I plan on spending a portion at a local coin shop. Silver is attractively priced and it would help keep those dollars flowing in the community.
-
That is awesome! If you don’t mind me asking, about much does a gorilla balloon deliver cost these days? What’s your delivery range? (I guess I’m odd)
-
$220 a week, for one child? Yes. It was closer to $300 when he was a newborn. Saving for college will be easy. When he starts Kindergarten, I’ll just pretend I’m still paying the day care bill.
-
I’ve been working from home all week, but today is my first day with my wife and 3-year-old son also home. I’ll be working 4 am - Noon, while my wife works Noon - 8 pm. Whoever is not working is in charge of the kid. This will not be easy. A tiny bright spot is we’ll save $220/week on day care, but I worry about the day care staff not getting paid.

You can apparently mix Energen-C with vodka to make a ‘quarantini.’
-
I believe unemployment insurance maxes out at $370 per week. It’s just not going to go that far for most families.

Should the situation get any worse, the federal government needs to step in and guarantee a basic income of $1,000 for every adult for 6 months. That’s $6,000 for 200 million adults or $1.2 trillion. Rates are so low right now, the US could finance the stimulus at < 1% for 10 years. Considering the national debt is $23.3 trillion another $1.2 trillion for some semblance of stability seems prudent. I keep seeing this floating around and can't we just do this with qualifiers? Do software developers really need $1k a month? I mean I don't need it. I think we can come up with something helpful and a tad more responsible. If you don’t need it, then spend it at your favorite local businesses so it gets into the pockets of those who do. I just don’t see a fair or easy way for Congress to decide who should get it and who should not.

There’s probably some OK, Boomer humor to be found here: [sarcasm]Boomers are pleading with Millennials to stop going to bars and restaurants, but they inexplicably can’t stop taking cruises.[/sarcasm]
-
I’m with you on the more strict approach ... and I’m otherwise a huge libertarian. Unfortunately, this approach should have started weeks ago. Maybe we could all still be going to work were it not for all of the planes criss-crossing the globe and people disembarking cruise ships without quarantine. Better late than never, though.
-
This is a great little corner of the internet. Commiserating with others has helped boost my spirits during a particularly difficult stretch at the office. Thank you.
-
[sarcasm]Add 3 years to whatever I said last time.[/sarcasm]
-
At this point, I’d take a 9/11-type recession. Unemployment ‘only’ increased from 4%-6%. At least there’s a bottom.
-
They just used their last bullet!! smh They should never have cut rates three times in 2019 when the economy was humming along just fine.
-
It won’t. At least not in the short term. Most banks have full refi pipelines and are going to be hesitant to book new volume at anything less than 3%. But when their pipelines thin out, who knows?
