Yeah I was looking for 2-3 years in 2008-2011 time frame. I got laid off from a large company and because I didn't finish my degree and very little experience outside of restaurants no one hired me.

I got laid off during the 2008-2010 financial crisis. They gave me extended employment for I believe 18 months, but only if you went back to school. So that is when I went back to school to finish my Bachelors degree. Some people took advantage of that time period to better themselves, but I'm sure many took advantage as well. The worst part of that time period is the governments bailing out all the financial firms that participated in aggressive lending practices. Giving out 500k mortgages to people making 50k a year. The tax payers bailed out Citi, BOA, JP MORGAN, AIG, etc... The CEOS of these "Failing" companies fired thousands of people and got huge paydays on our dollar. It's a lose/lose situation. The tax payers are either paying for welfare and subsidies for the low wage earners or paying for the bonuses for the top executives in their "bail outs". Because they are "too big" to fail. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/01/wall-street-bailout-executive-compensation/

Opps was posting in wrong thread. Figures the cold shows up in April.

2 people in my neighborhood had large parties this weekend with 20-30+ people. With the weather getting nicer, it's going to be next to impossible to prevent this from mass spreading throughout the area. Without a vaccine the only way to beat this thing is with herd immunity.

Looks like NYS peak is April 8th https://covid19.healthdata.org/ According to this website we should be good by May 1st?

Why April 29th and not April 30th?

New York cases down about 500 cases today, deaths up by 5.

I have better call saul on my list too. I've heard it has been amazing.

Syracuse already did, Rochester is getting an asterisk due to measuring incorrectly all season.

I've been binging it the last few months. I'm on Season 8 Episode 7. I hear the ending is terrible, but the ending of Game of Thrones was so bad that it cannot be worse than that. I've watched GOT 3 times through and read the books. It's basically unwatchable now after that ending. I'll still read the books when the 2 new ones come out. Dexter, GOT, and Breaking Bad are still my top 3 favorite shows.

Quite a few employees at my company are taking advantage of how nice my company has been with providing emergency PTO. It's left us pretty short staffed. Pretty much proves @Luke_Mages point. People will always take the easy way out if given the opportunity.

My entire facebook page is about this Tiger show on Netflix. I think I may give it a shot after I finish Dexter. I was planning on starting Ozark after.

Girl at my work came in contact with someone with the virus and she is out in quarantine for 2 weeks. Lucky her, she gets to hang out at home for 2 weeks and get paid emergency PTO. She might not even have the virus.

Yeah I spent all day trying to figure out what to tell our clients. I was like uh, we will know more information next week. (I hope)

The communication between the federal govt and banks in regards to SBA loans/help is really bad.

Mortality rate skyrocketing as would be expected as hospitals are being overwhelmed. 5.37% globally. 1120 deaths out of France the last 24 hours after 1355 the day before. 6,399 in serious condition, the most in any country.

Italy.. 4,585 new cases and 766 new deaths in Italy.

Sounds about proportionate. 10% of New Yorks population is in Upstate, 90% downstate.

NY up 600 deaths Over 102000 cases NY statewide, over 57000 in NYC, 12300 in Westchester and 22000+ on Long Island. 10482 new NY State cases since yesterday.
