    Corona community help initiative

    Yeah, the "faith in humanity" bit is a decision that everyone will have to make. We can't rely on everyone to have the best intentions. But hopefully we can mitigate against the risk that the people with bad intentions will be able to carry them out. For what it's worth, I am exposing myself...

    Corona community help initiative

    Risks I see: The people who mark, "I need help" are advertising that they are vulnerable. How will you protect them from the possibility that someone with bad intentions will use the site to find good robbery victims? The people who mark, "I'd like to help," are advertising that they are...

    Positive Stories: People Stepping Up During The Coronavirus Crisis

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    This is how my husband and I are stepping up in our community. We will be distributing this card door to door in our neighborhood (200 homes). I'm not sure how it will play out, but I'd rather have people talking and feeling like neighbors than have everyone fending for themselves.

    Never let a good crisis go to waste

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There's a hierarchy to everything. People whose budgets are tight will prioritize the items that make the biggest difference in their lives. I would of course think through which items most people will consider the most essential. I suggested electronics because it is my understanding that...

    Yeah. And all the people who just lost their job because it's related to cruise ships or conferences or anything where large groups of people gather. And all the people with jobs like factory worker or restaurant worker or delivery driver...any of the numerous roles that don't allow a person...

    Another huge opportunity: I'm seeing a LOT of comments like this... This is the PERFECT time to launch your online course and capitalize on the fact that people who are curious and hungry to improve themselves might have a glorious 2 weeks in which to do it.

    "The directive applies to all employees whose work requires them to be in an office, store, fulfillment center or in vehicles making deliveries. " So no more Amazon deliveries for anyone? That's a bummer for my order that I placed on March 4 and they never shipped.

    Yeah. Just as a simple example, the opportunities for retail arbitrage are almost endless right now. Anything that's made in China on the shelf now at Walmart/Target? In 3 months, it's going to be out of stock and unavailable. While most people are busy stocking up on toilet paper and...

    Once again, the workforce did not let me down

    Here's an idea. Why don't you find a local homeschool support group and make it known that this position is available? They'll be all over it.

    It's an expression to reflect the fact that speaking frankly about this issue is not socially acceptable. There's an enormous pressure NOT to talk honestly about it. If you do, you're painfully aware that you're going to be automatically classified in the same group as flat earthers and...

    Totally agree. I used to work in a place where they had an open office layout with 500 people working on the same floor. Every illness would sweep through the whole building. Every winter, everyone would keep count of the "rounds" that we had been through. "What are we at, plague 3.0 now?"...
