So, according to the legislation passed by the Senate...if my son gets unemployed right now he will make much more per week not working than he is now working at his lower paying job...for four months.
Makes sense, huh?
Aint America Great!
Streets are paved with gold! Bills never come due.
Two America related stories for today......
First Covid America
Lucky to pick up an extra shift today. Due to Covid everything is shutting down including outside construction. Job Im on state supervisor throws a shit fit because 4 workers commuted together on a plus 50 mile trip in one truck.
But wait are we not supposed to car pool to save the world?
So plastic disposable bags and car pooling have become a victim of Covid 19.
Pretty much suspect that tomorrow and for some time into the future even these few construction jobs will be shut down.
Workers are pissed. Foreman telling me "Flu kills more people". I tell him not to use his common sense and statistics on me.
I think the American worker is wondering if "social distancing" will matter when they are all living under an over pass in a card board box.
Second only in America story.....
Porta potty truck with fresh porta potty is passing on other side of the road. Driver stops, beeps, waves at us, we wave back. Wow isnt he a nice man.
Soon he shows up at our site.
Cant speak English.
Takes his blue tooth bud out of his ear and wants site super to use it to access his translator and talk to him about the porta potty delivery.
Corona virus era or not super is not putting the ear bud in his ear.
Guys delivery sheet says something like "Teds Roofing" and we are installing granite curb on a busy roadway.
Foreman gets Portuguese speaker to talk to Spanish speaker. 10 times out of 10 this is successful as two romance languages can generally get by.
This guy is number 11.
After explaining we are not "Teds Roofing" guy says "I unload here"
So I have a sweet clean porta potty to piss in but somewhere a "Teds Roofing" worker is holding his shit.
Too funny.
