Random thoughts for MDW

-
Production has been down lately due to multiple projects and a full time job, but expect 10 a week again starting Tuesday. Also, if y'all are enjoying this hit the follow button. Today is a just a few random thoughts going into the weekend.

First, if your in an area that isn't having a Memorial Day service consider listening to the first 15 mins or so of this podcast. Just 3 veterans remembering why this is a holiday and the sacrifices made. Well worth the time.

Second, apparently if your black you have to vote for Biden or you lose your blackness. Not sure where ol' Joe was going with this one but it's a bad look.

Third, the coronavirus is not a plot by Jeff Bezos/Bill Gates to take over the world. I will probably go more in depth on this next week, but it's not. Are there people using this situation to profit? Yes. Is there some shady shit going on? Yes. Are we being lied to by people in the government and media? Most likely yes. Scratch that, yes. Are the numbers regarding fatality rate of the coronavirus inaccurate? Yes. However, these facts do not equal a giant conspiracy to take away all our rights and make Bill Gates rich. So just calm down.

Fourth, We are going to have football. Hawks are starting the first part of June. This is a great sign.

In closing, listen to your local guidelines, listen to the CDC, wash your hands, and stay safe everyone. Happy Memorial Day!!

The Cubs are coming!

-
The Cubs schedule dropped today and it looks awesome. 60 games in 65ish days. (I don't know how calendars work). Let's see how the season will shake out. July 24 – Brewers July 25 – Brewers July 26 – Brewers Cubs sweep 3-0. Rizzo is fired up. Rossi is on a mission. The ivy is green. July 27 – at Reds July 28 – at Reds July 29 – at Reds July 30 – at Reds Cubs take series 3-1. The Reds get one due to home field. We are now 6-1. July 31 – Pirates Aug. 1 – Pirates Aug. 2 – Pirates Cubs sweep. The Pirates aren't good and they know it. Rossi has the fans ready to run through brick walls and the players ready to run through buildings. El Mago is doing magic shit and Contreras has 5 pick offs at first minimum. 9-1 record. Aug. 3 – Royals Aug. 4 – Royals Aug. 5 – at Royals Aug. 6 – at Royals At this point a division of Abrams tanks could be placed in front of the Cubs roster and it wouldn't stop these guys. Rossi points and Rizzo and Bryant go. 1...

No one knows shit about fuck. Pt. 6

-
So after several heavy, data intensive blogs, we are back to a more light hearted topic. The rona. The semi forgotten pandemic has came roaring back into the headlines with  this awesome story . Great news!!!! It's "rare" for asymptomatic people to spread the virus. Awesome, we can go back to stay home if your sick right? Well, maybe not. If you take the time to read the story a not so clear picture emerges. Here's some quotes. In its recent  updated guidance on mask-wearing,  the WHO said that studies of asymptomatic transmission to date are small, but that virus spread via fomites (objects and surfaces) in those cases cannot be ruled out. So... it doesn't happen unless it does? I'm not a doctor or a nurse or even a CNA but I'm pretty sure that line is self contradictory. So asymptomatic transmission is small unless they touch stuff and you touch it?  This story  contains the following quote "The new coronavirus "does not spread easily" fro...

$1200 for 10 weeks

-
I think the entire package provides economic relief overall for about 10 weeks," Mnuchin told CBS's "Face the Nation." "Hopefully we will kill this virus quicker and we won't need it, but we have liquidity to put into the American economy to support American workers and American business." So, ol' Steve is getting murdered online for this quote. Secretary Mnuchin say $1200 dollars will last 10 weeks. This is popping up all over twitter, facebook, and my news feed. Wake the fuck up people. He isn't referring to the stimulus check. He is referring to the 2.2 trillion (best guess because the people who wrote it don't know the price tag) package. The whole fucking thing. The one where you are a guaranteed to qualify for unemployment if you lost your job due to coronavirus. The one that gives small business loans. The one that gives any waitress making $300 a week roughly $800 a week in unemployment benefits. This is why the news sucks. CNN, MSNB...
