Title: What Are You Doing To Cut Costs Amid The Higher Prices
Post by: Texas Pete on March 17, 2020, 08:18:34 am
I sell online and sales are sluggish right now, this is usually my busy time with folks
getting their taxes back. I don't have much overhead so I will be ok for awhile.

Your state and mine will take a shellacking for sure. Just went up to my little tavern and wished everyone well and of course all the TV's were turned to Trump's bullsht presser__the one where Mike Pence asked all the contractors to donate their extra face.dust masks to the local clinics and hospitals.

Trump's long press conferences are designed to pump up the DOW and it works, while they were blathering it went up nearly 700 pts but then started to fall when it ended.

That tavern will shut the doors at 5pm today and open back up whenever our governor sounds the all clear or a judge steps in which is likely.

The crew there will be without any real pay and zero tips for two weeks and will fall behind in their obligations so we all chipped in what we could to help them survive.

The nearby nail salon staffed by Asians will remain open__God forbid a woman couldn't get her nails done.

Dr Fauci called on young people to text and/or call elderly shut ins as a way to keep them socially active.

Some guy at the bar said that the people who received a flu or pneumonia shot are the most at risk because they are the targets of the Chinese bio attack.  I asked him if his screen name was BarnKKKat.

Sorry you were laid off Jackie.... I hope you filed for unemployment. The place I work closed it’s doors.... temporarily.... I hope....I filed yesterday.

Sorry you were laid off Jackie.... I hope you filed for unemployment. The place I work closed it’s doors.... temporarily.... I hope....I filed yesterday.

I did, but I hope the lay off is for a short time. I hope the close is temporary for you, I hope its temporary for everyone. I'm sure things will get back to normal soon, I'm predicting June or July August at the latest.

The thing is the experts to this are playing this by ear. If people are still sick after this last shut in, it will have to be extended another 30 days, and continue till their are no more sick people. Or we will go back to square one, and people will get sick all over again.

The thing that concerns me with these confirmed case numbers is, there wasn'many test kits out, and people were not getting tested, now the test kits are giving innaccurate results from what I've been hearing. The test kits from China. Another thing I've been hearing, they are mixing in these confirmed cases with people that didn't have the virus, and died from something else.

I'm sure this is a very overwhelming process, but I weary how they are coming up with the numbers of cases. With all the confusion going on, mistakes can happen.

Yes they have. Our 18 year old son who worked part time and we let our accountant do his taxes didn't get a stimulus check.  A lot of young ones don't and it is not real fair.

☝️

You “let” your accountant do his taxes?

How can some people be so disconnected?
Because, we let our accountant do ours also. It is not disconnected in letting a professional do it. Our son lives with us and we are very involved with our kids. What's wrong, you can't afford to let a professional to yours? Go be a troll somewhere else.

This is how I look at this..
We aren't going to die til it's our time.
No one knows when that will be.
We can do all the things they tell us and we could still die and still have nothing to do with this virus.
When our time is up.. IT'S UP

Nice to see you hml! You’re exactly right! 🙂

I luv the t-shirts that say I cant breath, there is actually a cannot breath movement.

I cant breath wearing a mask all day, I might have to buy a new one, this one I have is 3 months old, masks were hard to find, now they are everywhere, go figure. But I hat to spend money on a bunch of masks, I can think of many other things to spend my money on........

Yes in did interrupt some of our orders, but we had work to complete in the tooling side of the business, gave us time to reorganize & restructure some of our departments clean & paint equipment, walls, reseal the concrete floors.....Found enough to do for people to work  so they mostly worked through so far.... a few requested lay-off and those few were granted their voluntary lay-off, but has since been called back also..... So We managed to get through it so far......so good.....knock on wood.........Everyone got to keep their benefits, & pay for the duration.....We still paid out for all benefits for the voluntary laid-off peeps too....
We Believe In Investing In Our People, and when the chips are down they continue investing in Us....

It's Called The American Dream............The American Way.......

It hasn’t affected my business or my work. It has affected me. I haven’t been able to see my mother since March. I don’t like not being able to go where I want, when I want. There’s been no swimming at the public pool or the Country Club. No parks are open. Television totally sucks because they’ve been unable to film any new shows.

About all there is to do is eat. And then eat some more. And when you’re done, eat some more.

It’s too hot outside to run.

By the time this thing is over, I’ll need to hire a crane to get me out of the house.

I don’t think I wash may hands 100 times a day. In fact, I’m pretty sure I don’t. I can’t say exactly how many times a day I wash my hands but I feel confident it’s enough. I also don’t feel like I’ve been inundated with Corona ads or information. I really don’t feel like you can be too informed.

Hopefully, people will remain stringent and adhere to the provisions set forth to combat the virus and we’ll all be back to normal before too much longer.

Im on the road a lot with work, and see so many people without masks, or not using hand sanitizer. I try and give the benefit of doubt to all circumstances, but I'm losing faith that normal will be anytime soon. I know for me I'll keep doing my part, and I received my 2nd dose of vaccine this past Wednesday. I can't explain the feeling of relief that I felt. It was a good feeling!

I have not gotten a single call regarding the COVID vaccine. I have gotten 100s of calls for lower interest rates on credit cards I don’t have, vehicle warranties, Internet and Satellite TV, and even a few for funeral costs. 😳

I did sign up to be notified when the vaccine was available for me early on and I received an email at which time I made my appointment. That’s the only notification or communication I received regarding the vaccine.

Governments are using the pandemic as a pretext to crack down on free expression and access to information.

I haven’t really figured out how to cut back. As a rule, I don’t really spend a lot anyway. I am often shocked when I go to the grocery. Honestly, I often wonder how families with children at home are making it. It kind of makes me sad to think about. I have 2 vehicles. One is a gas guzzling SUV and the other is a 2012 Honda Civic. I drive the Civic much more often these days.

Our gas bill was higher than usual this month but I blame that on the cold snap and us running the gas fireplace.

LOL Dang it, I don’t look at the gas bill either. I really need to start paying better attention to where my money is going. I’m such a creature of habit. I allow myself so much spending money each month and that’s it. Everything else goes in the bank and I don’t pay attention. I don’t have a mortgage payment or a car payment so I really don’t have any large expenses. My highest bill is my cell phone bill but that’s because I have my oldest Grandson on my bill and have had for 12 years. Now I have my Granddaughter on it as well. My Grandson keeps telling me he’ll pay it himself but I keep him on mine and don’t complain. I suspect he’ll get married in the next couple of years and he can take over making his own payments then.

In 2020 there were 15.2 million hunters in the U.S. In relative numbers, the percentage of the U.S. population that hunts has been on a steady decline since at least 1960, when there were 14 million hunters, representing 7.7 percent of the total U.S. population of 180.7 million people.

I refuse to use cards as long as cash is still around...

Slacked off food electric internet water .. they got it where you can’t really use outdoor water unless you buy it from the water company.. honing in survival skills everyday.. pretty much all I do.. I don’t have friends or anyone I need to take care of or help.. besides when or if I help any older people with certain chores they cannot do but they’re all dying out.. I am really cautious with my clothing I try to make them last as long as possible..

Shiit I cut back on a bunch .. readapted.. started figuring other ways to make the quality of my surroundings better through Mother Nature.. I’ve had some good ones.. I almost died a couple days ago.. again.. still motivated .. I don’t know about having it tough.. you gotta have a gear in the back of your mind that instantly remembers how times use tooobe..laugh and smile about it.. gather patience.. then shoot for the moon.. floating around in the unknown darkness.. your energy to persist weightless in your heart.. that feeling of life .. like know other..

On July 15, 2024, House Bill 5 went into effect and made Kentucky one of the first states in the country to criminalize street camping. One year later, we’re left with a chilling legacy: hundreds of citations, growing mistrust of outreach efforts, worsening homelessness, and a question that still hangs heavy. Why did we let this happen?

According to statewide data, more than 425 charges for unlawful camping have been filed across 30 Kentucky counties. That is more than one citation a day, overwhelmingly targeting unhoused people just for trying to survive. The largest share, 42%, was issued in Jefferson County, followed by Fayette (13.5%), Boyd (12%), and Daviess counties (7.4%).

But these aren’t just numbers. These are fellow Kentuckians trying to get by. Among them are:

A man was cited and moved along after being woken up by police kicking his feet as he slept under a viaduct.
A woman arrested while changing clothes in a parking garage during a heatwave was taken to jail without pants. She was later released, still without pants.
A pregnant woman was cited while in active labor. Her story made national headlines. She has housing now, but it did not come from city services, it came from community care.
A man cited multiple times, stuck in a cycle of court dates and jail, desperate for help that never comes.
This law has not ended or even decreased homelessness. Statewide, numbers show a 10% increase.
