There will be many lessons to be learned from this Covid Fiasco.

The question is, are there any 'leaders' out there that are capable of learning from this fuckin' nonsense... 

... 


Gee guys - maybe, just maybe - you might end up having to think and act a little more fiscally conservative going forward.  
Wouldn't that be a little different, huh?

And of course there are others who will never, ever learn. Like this despicable fuckin' moron.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo engaged in a little fat shaming Wednesday — over New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bloated city budget. Asked about de Blasio’s announcement earlier in the day of one-week staff furloughs including himself and his oft-repeated threat of widespread municipal layoffs to shore up the Big Apple’s balance sheet, Cuomo said there’s “a lot of waste” in the Big Apple’s budget.

“I’m saying layoffs are the last thing you want to do. They’re the last option, especially in New York City where you have so many problems. We have a homeless problem. We have a crime problem. The city is dirty,” said Cuomo, landing several punches at his downstate rival’s expense.

Wuddya get for $ 29 mil?


Derek Jeter, the Hall of Fame Yankees shortstop and chief executive of the Miami Marlins, and his wife, Hannah, placed their Tampa, Fla., mansion on the market today for $29 million.

“This is the most impressive home to ever hit the market in the Tampa Bay area,” said Stephen Gay, the real estate agent who has the listing. It’s also the most expensive and largest-scale property to ever be built on Davis Islands, a residential archipelago located directly south of downtown Tampa.

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz has hit CNN with a $300 million defamation lawsuit, accusing the cable network of distorting his words to portray him as an “intellectual who had lost his mind” during President Trump’s impeachment trial. During the January trial, the Harvard professor raised eyebrows when he argued, “If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”

He is accusing CNN of airing misleading footage in a “barrage of defamatory programming” that led to him being “openly mocked by most of the top national talk show hosts and by CNN viewers.”

This is a very popular item these days, and these days are pretty fuckin' bizarre, so it makes sense. 

People have told me that not only are they buying them for themselves,  they're buying them for their kids, their girlfriends and their wives. I think that's a great idea. Better safe than sorry is the best way to be these days...

So there's this politician who comes out and says matter-of-factly that if you vote for him and he gets elected, he will raise your taxes.

There's a nation-wide coin shortage.

 Seriously. There really is. I wouldn't kid you.

The problem is two-pronged: The U.S. Mint significantly reduced its production of coins after implementing safety measures to protect its employees from the coronavirus. Consumers are also depositing fewer coins at U.S. financial institutions, according to the Federal Reserve. 

Because of coronavirus fears, many people have switched to using credit cards and mobile payments to avoid handling money. Meanwhile, the shutdown also forced some businesses to close that would normally help keep coins moving. 

“With establishments like retail shops, bank branches, transit authorities, and laundromats closed, the typical places where coin enters our society have slowed or even stopped the normal circulation of coin,” Michael White, a spokesman for the U.S. Mint, said in a statement. 

On June 15, the Federal Reserve started capping the amount of coins it allots to banks and financial institutions. The measure is expected to be temporary and based on institutions’ historical orders.



Bust open that coin jar you have and cash 'em in. This'll make it easy for you. I have this set. Do it the way I do it -  crack open a coupla beers and sort the coins.

  2. The facebook cartoon? There is a thing on Netflix, "The social dilemma" that explains why that happens... it's well worth the time it took to watch it.
