    Well our tool box talk today was a thank you note, we have moved 1000 containers of medical supplies this year and the company has waived the fast track fee for these cans.

    Good fucking God. Georgia just put in a shelter in place order because the Governor only found out yesterday that coronavirus has asymptomatic carriers.

    You have stupid people at all levels of government that are now making life and death decisions.

    The Chief Medical Officer for AB was pushing against the shelter in place for fear of kids getting pregnant.

    Welcome to what happens when you elect morons.

    That probably revealed more about his desire to fuck his sister when they were kids than he intended.

    Some 20 something year old cousin in college on the husbands side called grandma and said he was coming to town from out of state to visit his girlfriend and could he come see the grandparents. They’ve been isolating for two weeks. Grandma called us to see if we thought it was ok. I asked her what the point of 2 weeks isolation was if she was going to invite him over? Hopefully she declines. But more than that, where has this fucking kid been? Was he trying to be funny?

    Yeah, but the CDC is like, all the way over there. It's a twenty minute drive from the Governor's Mansion.

    Florida has overruled any local measures taken against COVID-19. In their own shelter in place order, they have defined religious services as "essential businesses," so that's not going to end well.

    Welp, the cops are pulling people over and harassing them down here.

    My worst nightmare has come true.

    I gotta ask for a source on that one, man. I could see that coming from our Premier, but I highly doubt those words ever came out of Dr. Hinshaw's mouth.
    Unless you meant Alabama and not Alberta... That I could also see.

    What's that quote about people that keep getting promoted into higher level jobs until the get into a job they are terrible at, but never get fired, and this is why there are so many horrible middle managers in every company? I'm sure the same applies for government positions as well.

    The Peter Principle. Also a book.

    Something like “In any organization, people will advance to their level of incompetence “

    As an aside, for anyone concerned about your 401k right now, dont be. You should be doubling down on your contributions now more than ever. The stock market is on sale.

    Similar to that is the Dunning-Kruger Effect, where stupid people don't know they're stupid, or put another way where people think they're smarter than they are. You are seeing a lot of both the Peter Principle and the Dunning-Kruger Effect at play in politics right now and people are dying because of it. Maybe I'm just optimistic, but I think voting patterns are going to change world-wide after this. Ideological difference are great and all, but that doesn't mean anything when lives are on the line.

    They drink enough infant plasma and white rhino cum that most of them are probably immune to death itself. Idris Alba only got it because the nutcase is into Muay Thai and probably has the blood of ten men absorbed into him.

    Some people have been thinking "isolation" is hanging out solo with a different friend every day. Gym rats that I follow in Tokyo can't keep away from the gyms, and barring that, seeing personal trainers that all of the other bodybuilders have been seeing. They think going to Anytime Fitness at 2am is the solution.

    Chris Cuomo is the gift we need right now. This morning watching him and Gov. Cuomo being dicks to each other in the middle of the press conference while the video feed lags was hilarious.
