Got the email I was dreading

Top tier of my company (owners/VPs/Directors) 30% pay cut
Managers (me) 15% pay cut
Hourly employees cut hours to at best 4 days a week

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s something that will reverse itself in a couple of months.

McRib has done her best at keeping therapists, therapy assistants, and admin staff working in other areas of need right now. But it is inevitable many are about to be hit hard economically.

I'm afraid this thing is going to make 2007 look like a picnic

I think 2007 was okay. 2008 and 2009 not so great.

I'll tell you how bad it is. When Trump tweeted out the pictures from the briefing with the CDC team and assured the public the team was the best and working very hard, CNN politics ran a story the next day lamenting the problem that the team lacked diversity. Looking back, it is the most surreal out-of-place take away I think I have ever seen.

I think this is what ticks off the left so bad. Trump was ahead of them, even if he was behind in some manner. They are having trouble figuring out what to do there.

It's gone back to the typical, well Trump got the travel ban right BUT did you see his press conference!

And who can forget them trying to blame trump for some idiots drinking fish tank cleaner. And then being self righteous saying the real drug wasnt approved, before less than a week later it was, and they are having to walk back their stances. See the governor of Nevada.

It's like watching LG make predictions.

Trump has the best meeting picture tweets. The best hard working picture tweets.

Other than the 5 star self-evaluation of the meeting, what else came out of it?

Yeah. There is so much uncertainty right now. I hope and pray it doesn't get that bad. But no one knows. I just have to lean on my faith.

No speaker of the house has ever directly assumed the presidency.

WTH does that have to do with the fact that she is 3rd in line?

I was thinking it started in 2007, but could be wrong. I know they were brutal but we never laid anyone off during that time

Thank you, worst part is telling my guys they won't be getting a full paycheck for a while

It's a terrible conversation.

EL's first post in this thread was a jab at "Trump's America" or some such because sales of Corona beer were down. Like I said, surreal.

He didn't mention himself in the tweet. He only referenced the team of people. If you can find them, and it will make a difference to you, maybe you can read the minutes of the meeting.

Otherwise, the point of my post went way over your head.

I don't care what anyone thinks. Kung Flu is an awesome name.

Wonder what the response would be had this originated in Brazil and it was being called the Jiu Flu?

It would be like 1940s Germany in here, with Democrats cheering for gas chambers and ovens.

Funny how it’s racist one way but noble when considered another way.

That and the Dem leaders running around saying his travel ban on China was racist . Hindsight shows just how stupid they were trying that crap ... yet again .

Maybe so. what was your point? I'll see if I can find the minutes.

I didn't see any of that posted. But by page 100, my sleepiness had returned.

The absurdity of Orange Man Bad and how out of touch it is in retrospect.

Agreed, and a little oil spill in the Gulf in April 2010 nailed my coffin.

I'm not digging up the minutes, but a few days later we sent tons of relief supplies, PPE and such, to China, so I suppose that decision was made then.

Never claimed to be a libertarian. I consider myself nonpartisan, but more accurately, I'm probably a Constitutionalist.

You don't come across as non-partisan or as a Constitutionalist. Your talking points line up with Right Leaning talking points. If you were truly either, I would think you would be incensed that Clinton be brought up on charges. Instead, you're like the Clintons are above the law, like they are Political royalty. If you said Kennedy's or Rockerfeller, or some other uber rich family, I would agree. You have an unwarranted hatred for Hillary.

It's possible. I think that meeting was a few day after the screening practices were set at ports of entry for travelers coming from China. Might have been part of the discussion, as well.

it was the beginning of February.

Jan 26 or 29. I can't remember which.

ETA: the date of the briefing.

The bottom fell out during the campaign in '07. Remember McCaine cancelling campaign stops to rush back to Washington and save the day? Factories were shutting down and laying off workers like crazy in '07 before the election.
