I'm tired boss....

-
So I am sitting here after an eventful weekend watching a fire and I'm tired. I am tired of people screaming about protesters. I am tired of my phone blowing up with news about what burned down. I am tired of looting. I am tired of people. I am tired of the "protesters are criminals" headlines. We are better than this folks. There are good people on both sides. (By both sides I mean looting vs don't, everyone should agree a homicide occurred.) The protests are being hijacked by people with a different agenda. The fact that a man was murdered is getting forgotten amidst a political agenda. Everyone needs to take a step back and breathe. Was a man murdered? Yes. Was this a result of a corrupt and broken system? Yes.  Does change need to occur? Yes. Does breaking car windows and dragging people out accomplish anything? No. Does burning down the 3rd Precinct in Minneapolis make a point? Maybe. Does burning down resturaunts? No. Keep protesting. Keep making sure no one forgets George Floyd. He deserves that. The shithead cop that murdered him needs to go to jail forever and then some. But please, break the cycle. Give me something good to read. Make news that makes me say "Fuck yeah, let's get justice" not "what is the point?" This whole situation has me torn, the system is broken and bad cops exist, but I need to believe that most cops are good or why are we not overthrowing the whole system? I don't know the answers but some thing needs to change. Stay safe folks.

$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

The 61 year old potato farmer that stunned the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and hear the story of  Cliff Young . He has seemed to enter the realm of half myth, half truth that surrounds all greats but his story is remarkable. Full disclosure: I got this story from a guest pastor at church Sunday. Here we go.  In 1983, people were gathered for the Australia ultra marathon. A 543 mile race from Sydney to Melbourne. Most competitors were in their twenties or thirties and had extensive training and corporate sponserships. Into this group walked a 61 year old man wearing faded overalls and rubber work boots. His name was Cliff Young. He was a sheep and potato farmer from just outside Melbourne. Most considered him a joke at best, delusional at worst. Several journalists questioned if he would survive. This is where the myth/truth comes into play. Some accounts have him running in overalls. Others say he wore windbreakers with holes cut by hand for ventilation. One account claims he wore 10 pairs of running shoes throughout the race. W

B1G has cancelled football.

 The B1G and PAC 12 have cancelled fall sports.  Here  is the B1G official statement. I have been thinking about this and getting steadily more upset ever since 1:45 PM. This is horrible. I have avoided really shitting on the COVID-19 media coverage too much because I didn't want to deal with the trolling and "yOu THinK cOroNavIruS iS faKe IF yOu qUEstioN anYthIng!" crowd. I am done. Bring on the trolls. This decision has nothing to do with the coronavirus. The B1G, as a whole, is not concerned about player safety per coronavirus. Nothing has changed in the overall COVID-19 numbers between when they announced the season schedule and when they cancelled. The schedule was announced August 5. Per the  CDC report release July 31  hospitalization rate was 130.1 per 100,000 and mortality rate was 8.4% if you include pneumonia, influenza, and COVID-19 deaths. The  report released August 7   has hospitalization at 137.6 per 100,000 and mortality rate at 7.8% if you include pneumo
