Sorry for a worn-out football metaphor, but if your opponent takes a 56-0 lead in the first half, then sends out the second or third team in the second half, and you score 21 points in the third quarter, it ain't exactly a great comeback. You're still 5 touchdowns behind, bub. I think the last part is what's important: It will be used as an excuse to stop funding relief for struggling Americans . . .
Like Harry Kane scoring that goal for Spurs just now, when they were down 3-nil to Sheffield. Big fuckin' whoop. Nice for *his* stats, but Mourinho's lads lost the game.
The Health Partners Clinic in central Minnesota (St. Cloud area) has been closed since March due to covid. Clinic provides primary care, pediatrics, ObGyn, mental health, pulmonary medicine, same day mammograms, lab, radiology etc. Not to mention how many people from the area they employ.They just announced they are closing the clinic, and maybe half a dozen more around the Twin Cities, permanently. Employees there, and at many health systems that have received millions from the regime (I don't know if HP specifically got aid) already got pay cuts. Now HP is not saying publicly how many will be laid off, they say most can be transferred to some of their remaining clinics (really??), but not everyone living here would want to drive at least 90 minutes each way in horrible traffic (not to mention winters in Minnesota). Hospitals laying off health care workers, clinics permanently closing during a pandemic. Such a fucked up country
Wow, that totally sucks. I have Health Partners insurance and go to their clinics here in Minneapolis. Mpls. seems to have semi-adequate (for America) access to healthcare. It's not at all like that along the Highway 23 corridor, from where I grew up (Marshall) all the way to Duluth. And a lot of poultry processing facilities along the way.
Oh yeah, I see most things in life as ebb and flow, never a straight line to the finish.Always a zig zag if you chart it.
Hopefully the Rs in the Senate won't listen to the OrangeRacist and pass more stimulus.If not, he will make Hoover look like a liberal Dem. Great Depression II.
I do too. Large corporations that rely on consumer demand had been preparing for a nasty recession since at least late 2017; that's when I started to recognize the signs in my consulting-type business. They weren't expanding and were in fact stressing "efficiency," because they saw only stagnant demand at best, and shrinking demand more probably.
Throw this horrific turd into the punchbowl, and there's no way an awful lot of physical retail stores don't shut down. No way. The US already had something like 10x as much retail space per person as anywhere else. Some of that is due to cheap real estate and American style, but at least half of US retail has been extraneous. And as soon as easy spending cash ran out, those stores would be done.
I wouldn't want to have my retirement fund in commercial REITs right now.
I just couldn't move to the cities. I honestly can't deal with that traffic. In fact, when I had to leave Rochester for Wisconsin, I thought Rochester was getting too big.So when I was moving back to Minnesota, I first was looking for something maybe halfway between the cities and Rochester, so I could still have Mayo Clinic. But I was having trouble finding a place so I expanded my area and settled here. One reason is that when US News releases its annual best hospitals, St. Cloud is very highly rated and especially in stroke care. So here I am and we're minus a clinic. My primary care was there, and I had been waiting for them to open so I could get my mammo.Now I need to find another primary care provider and worry about when can I get a mammo.
I'm surprised we don't have more cases with those poultry plants. The other day I read that at least 50 cases in Stearns County in the last week or so have been traced to a single bar in St. Cloud. As far as I can tell, it's still open

They have never needed an excuse to fuck over workers.
Achomlished.

All the dead GOP ratfuckers already work for Satan.
Yeah, don't tell half a story!
On the third down.
Especially when your coach is staring at the cheerleaders.
So. Much. Winning.

That's a brilliant example of the thinking that put Trump in the White House the first time. Going for a repeat?
If you refuse to understand any reality other than your own privilege, you'll keep being unpleasantly surprised by events.
Only a Republican's kid with a trust fund thinks living on W-2 income is so great in America, and has been for decades.
Check back once you've had a few jobs, in a few years, and let me know how glorious it is to work for a living in America.

Oh yeah, it's happening big time. A lot of commercials on tee vee trying to tell us new ways of doing business. And it will be more.
