No, but they can also continue to work at other jobs. To determine whether this is good or bad you would have to see the individual offererings.

@Jolly said in The Gaspasser's Son: One died. That's the worst nightmare for a parent. So sad to hear this.

Telling jon not to gaslight people is like telling Ax not to soar high above the Serengeti with a golden trophy strapped to his back, hunting for plump, juicy bunnies. Some people are just born to do certain things.

Lol

@Loki said in Where's Kim?: I think there is a reasonable chance Kim is dead. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/3279/i-m-not-dead-yet?_=1598270176500

@Axtremus said in Ceding the Working Class: @Larry said in Ceding the Working Class: Link to video Thank you for the YouTube link. I am glad to see this. Here I will also address @George-K. This is good. The publication of these videos, contrary to @George-K's assertion, shows that the Democrats are not afraid to reflect and publish different opinions. @Larry, let me know if you think there are Republicans who, when they say the Pledge of Allegiance, will omit the "under God" part. And @George-K, let me know if you think the Republicans will publish videos of committee meetings where in some Republicans say the Pledge of Allegiance without the "under God" part. Frankly I am quite glad that there is a major political party in the USA that still has a tent big enough to include atheists, pantheists, polytheists, etc. As the technology people say sometimes, this is a feature, not a bug. Turned on a dime and gave four cents change. Impressive!

@Axtremus said in Should we take another hard look?: @Jolly said in Should we take another hard look?: At an old drug? https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/20/why-is-the-media-suppressing-information-about-hydroxychloroquines-effectiveness-against-covid/ Why give "the media" power over what drugs to promote, what drugs to bury? For that matter, why give any politician power over what drugs to promote, what drugs to bury? Let the medical establishment do their thing and you pay attention to the medical establishment. The CDC, the FDA, the WHO, the revered academic journals ... pay attention to those. Yeah, from time to time, they make mistakes. But they are still a lot than "the media", a lot better than just about any politician. Lad, if you don't think politics enter into the world of Big Pharma, you are naive.

They probably just want justice for Black people.

@jon-nyc said in Scoop and dump in California: That can’t be easy. Yeah. Impressive as hell.

It may be a musical interpretation of an eagle, majestically soaring high over the Serengeti, bunny clutched in its talons, golden Point of the Day trophy strapped to its back.

BTW, that's D.J. Rhett doing the voice over. D.J. can be funny... Link to video

@brenda said in Eye: I hope things are okay for you. Jolly! Post when you can. We're fine. I'm not gonna get enough rain to get cut off, so we long as I don't catch a tree on the house or shop, no big deal.

@Jolly said in Virginia Beach business owner says no Democrats allowed on his charter boat: Or the solution. There's a reason for the statement...I think it has to get worse, before it gets better. So far, I think it's been mostly one-sided. I think the pain needs to be shared.

NYC will come back for sure. It’s a lost year. I know many kids that are giving up city rents as the leases expires as there is no good reason to be in a major city now. So many better options to have some semblance of a life. I’m a little surprised that they have made it this far outside the parties they go to and gatherings they attend when they can. For the college set it must be awful watching the friends that do get to go to school. How do they even interact with each other on social media. And dating, well incel has been given new meaning.

@George-K your second reason is why I stick with Spotify. Apple Music doesn’t work with 3rd party voice recognition. We have a bunch of google home devices and the voice recognition is WAY better for Indian artists.

@Kincaid said in The Elephant in the Room: In Cuomo's two minutes he pointed out that the virus really came from Europe. I didn’t see it but I’m sure he said/meant the main source of our outbreak was travelers from Europe. He’s not positing that as the actual origin of the virus. Anymore than when the FL governor said his outbreak came mainly from NY.

@Larry said in Colored does not equal woman of color.: Nope. I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of, but never a doggie... That’s what I said when I first got here.
