True, but, current management will push and double down to squeeze every penny possible out of everyone they can. Some will have the financial wherewithal and will not care while others use credit cards, Debit cards, take out loans or second mortgages because Disney says just give us money and you can be "The Magic". What was it Tom Cruise said in one movie "Show Me The Money". Specially now that COVID19 is falling off the headlines.
No free magnets. You will have the privilege of paying $49.99 for said magnet. It’s a recession and the mouse has to eat too
I remember that line from The Fiddler on the Roof...No free magnets. You will have the privilege of paying $49.99 for said magnet. It’s a recession and the mouse has to eat too
They better have a catchy name, then.No free magnets. You will have the privilege of paying $49.99 for said magnet. It’s a recession and the mouse has to eat too
Maybe not covid free, but very likely not a concern. Last summer was not a concern for us at all. I don't expect new variants that will take us out. Even omicron didn't stress my area like Delta did and cases were much less higher. I do guess something else is up with the UK but cannot guess what.
A couple of weeks ago the government here removed all of the laws around isolating if you get Covid, so it wouldn't surprise me if the uptick is being caused by it being spread from those not staying at home and mixing with others.
That particular decision made no sense to me.
I wonder honestly what else as numbers stopped falling at fast rates before then. To compare here, there were always recommendations here but no laws. People have been returning to work as soon as 3 or 4 days later. Scotland seems to be the worst too.
It's not like people were still getting paid sick leave anymore. Don't you know it's more important to let the staff work sick than go back to the staffing problems that caused
YaY let's go for 6K pages!!!! #gofor6KpagesIts worth it. We have spent a lot of time together here.. lets not quit now.
I've been watching the variant too. One thing I will say is that the levels haven't risen as sharp as omicron (original) did. Looking at other countries with large cases of it, I watch but am not concerned. S Africa follows it too and saw this preliminary data https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.02.17.22271030v1
If we want to be honest, at this point, no one gives a crap about COVID. Why would people when they are staring at record inflation, record gas prices, and a war in Europe? I posted about cases yesterday, then shortly after realized that was the least of my concerns...
That's not true at all. Many of my friends leaving for spring break give a HUGE crap about covid and testing and such for travel. We care enough to wear masks to not get sick before we leave. I have many friends still worried about their kids who cannot be vaccinated. People are still wearing masks here. Columbus just lifted their mandate a couple days ago. Just because you don't doesn't mean everyone doesn't. Like saying because I drive an EV no one gives a crap about gas prices. I may have quite literally zero clue what our gas prices are as the last time I filled up was in November with a rental car in Florida. It doesn't meant no one cares.
Your group of friends is not indicative of what the country is concerned about right now as a whole. Pretty confident that my current concerns are more mainstream right now in the US...and this is likely to become even more so in the coming weeks. I will leave it at that because this is still a COVID thread...
Pretty confident that they all are important on varying levels. Again what you feel isn't a concern still is for many. You can be concerned about more than one thing at once. Covid is still bad in some areas. Cut people slack and realize they all aren't like you or where you live. People still care. If you don't think it's an issue why post? This doesn't affect you.
