Union Pre shift 07:00 everyone is masked up just observation

Not mandatory mask yet ,I’m just pleased that as I look around people are masked indoors for meeting.And out off 225 employees we have 5 out with Covid hope they get well soon. Company has mask dispenser hanging on walls around terminal.

I’ll ditch mine once in yard , jockey horse being outside, I am glad to see people are starting to get the message we’re in fourth surge.

Yes we can hope dear friends message on mask unfortunately you have abbot who is more interested in tossing red meat to the base than dealing Covid.

Oh the turmoil friends here at work so I started daylight this week and oh the drama, I’m hearing from grown adult men who dress themselves every morning. That the janitor on 07:00 is lazy and does not stock toilet paper, I said when In doubt check it out if none go supply closet get some TP 😂.

Stay safe to you and those that you love. And may you both be blessed with two ply.

... neighbors who still have TP and PT's from last year, and a wall of 5gal water bottles, but we can hunker down and stay home for three or four months and never leave, except to feed the feral cats.

If it gets down to it, I have glass jugs to sterilize the creek water and the charcoal to filter it.

The only thing we don't have are firearms. We thought about the 'what' it would take to shoot to kill over a bag of rice and decided if it gets that far, we'd be out of here by then.

Between "disaster" capitalists and RWers, we should be getting out of here, but all my family are Red Staters and all over the country - Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Missouri.

I'm not so worried about supplies as I am about civil order breaking down.

We have enough that we've factored having to feed the neighbor downstairs (90+) and the neighbor (physically limited and with Huntington's) next to her. We won't turn anyone away: we have a mindset of no matter what, together.
