    Do yourself a favor..

    And watch the documentary "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix... Ever find yourself wondering how did the world get so screwed up? Or maybe how did YouTube know I would like that video? What's wrong with our youth? Our country? People? Many answers await. I would say enjoy, but, it's not something...

    NewMexico

    May I ask where in NM? Was stationed out there for a few years and loved it. Cloudcroft, Ruidoso, etc were just beautiful

    Quality of Healthcare during Covid mayhem

    I am truly sorry your wife and you are having to deal with such crappy circumstances. As far as no pain meds being sent home, you can thank the drug seeking population for making this the unfortunate reality. I personally do not know of any ER that will send controlled substances home with a...

    Covid-19

    Several factors: An absolute halt of all elective procedures in surgery, a complete shutdown of all physician office visits, a decrease in “routine” ER traffic, an unbelievable amount of rental equipment costs(air scrubbers, tents, PAPRs, heaters, testing equipment, etc) a significant increase...

    Covid-19

    I know of a particular facility that lost 750k for just the month of April.

    Explain this please

    This is a complex problem with many facets. It will take several interventions if we ever hope to balance the disparity between producer and packers. Govt regulations are a necessary evil because they are supposed to maintain marketbalance and protect the public. Unfortunately, that is not the...

    Cattle Pricing

    With all due respect ma'am, I just haven't seen that here in America. I have been to several cattle auctions in TX, NY, IA, and IN. All have had water and hay available to the cattle. I have yet to witness anyone beating on the cattle. That would just be bad for business wouldn't it? I'm not...

    Cattle Pricing

    The sad reality is that our culture has been conditioned, for a few generations now, to believe everyone should eat for cheap. Our government leaders have promoted and implemented this because it's an effective means to pacify the masses. Full bellies do not rebel historically. Yet, the same...

    Has anybody received a stimulus check?

    The wife said folks are starting to see them showing up in their accounts(pending deposit status) and a few have overdrawn because they thought the funds were available, even though they were not yet.

    Bootleg haircuts

    Had to give a couple high and tights. Son #2 was activated this past week (Natl Guard) and needed clipped. Son #3 saw the cut and requested the same. I used to clip hair for some side money when I was a broke E-2.

    Hazard pay.

    I believe the same Brute. Good post as usual sir.

    Hazard pay.

    Yep. Nevertheless, all those duties receive extra pay because they are hazardous( I am not up to date on current rates, but agree, rightfully so). That's what I was driving at anyway. In USAF, I was an ATC, but was assigned as an augmentee to the EOD team and got to train with and assist them...

    Hazard pay.

    Fluid situations such as we find ourselves, require greater flexibility and willingness to focus on win-win solutions. Good on you for looking out for your men and your customers. :tiphat:

    Hazard pay.

    Wife works at a bank. They're paying staff an extra $50 per shift HD. Son #4 works for Kroger, a lil extra for HD. I am an RN and daughter #1 works in a different hospital. Neither of us are receiving HD pay and doubt we will (both involved with direct pt care). I'm fine with that. Would be...

    People quitting their jobs

    We are picking up extra shifts and working overtime here. I have gotten emails from NY and IL requesting relocation to help meet the tremendous demand in those places. Opportunities abound for some and I also understand why many are fearful. Some live and die boldly. Some live and die...

    Am I greedy, greedy greedy

    Greedy x 3? Naw. Maybe greedy x 1.5 ;-) Some folks will say "Every man has his price and every man can be bought." Some folks will say " It's just smart business and you're not doing anything our own leaders havent done for decades." The thing that puzzles me is the fact you actually give...

    Viruses....

    I see where Dr. Fauci stated today that between 100k to 200k Americans could die before the coronavirus crisis is over. That's up from the initial 80k estimate. He doesn't strike me as the overreact or exaggerate type.
