So I guess my son will get just enough hours to put him over the limit that he could possibly qualify for EI. Knowing the owner of his group of locations this was most likely done to get people to quit instead of sticking around with low hours. 

So my son just found out that his employer is making sure each employee works only works 1 day a week to prevent them from filing unemployment. Only management is getting their normal shifts. 

I believe we had the first loss of a gambling license in the state in Lovelock with a gas station owner refusing to close down his slot machines. 

I have seen this in a few head-scratching places. In Fallon the local comic book shop is not only staying open and doing curb side deliveries, but allowing groups in to play Magic and other tournament games. 

And in Reno (even under threat of losing their business licenses) the retro video game stores and comic shops are staying open.

Mining in Nevada is huge! So no gaming isn't the only thing we have.

Two of the top 10 gold mines in the world are in Nevada.

40% of the state's budget still comes from tourism (and a large part of that from gambling). Sure we have made huge strides since 2008 to diversify the state's economy, but to say that it won't hurt is a healthy bit of BS. 

Nevada schools are now closed to at least April 3rd. The big hang up was that online schooling to make up for lost days was ruled against the state's constitution a couple of years back. Basically one of the schools in the Tahoe region tried to use online classes for days school was cancelled from snow and somebody sued over it.

Clark county schools district in NV has no immediate plans to close down the schools, but the situation remains fluid.

 
It is because they are still looking to the CDC and State for guidance. Mineral County just released a statement that made it sound like it was all their idea to end all sports for the district. Somebody quickly posted a memo by the NIAA that was done earlier in the day that said sponsored events were cancelled effective Monday. The superintendent here is a piece of work. 

Our local hospital just put out a statement saying they are unable to test. Anyone coming in with symptoms will be given a mask and staff will direct them to home quarantine...

My wife's school district here in Nevada currently has a couple of staff on doctor-directed quarantine. They are saying no positive tests, but one has to wonder if they have been tested at all. Being a rural area and whatnot, and considering that my local hospital is requiring anyone with flu-like symptoms to phone in and be checked out in a external building about a 1/4 mile from the hospital (not bad until you realize the town is only 1 sq. mile in size. 

Also NAS Fallon has 8 sailors in quarantine as of this morning. 

So now that March Madness is cancelled that means casinos here are going to have some issues.

I feel like these last couple of week the markets have needed a carnival barker, "Up and down it games where it stops nobody knows. Guess the number and win a prize for you sweetie young man." 

The Astros have one that shouldn't exist as well.

EDIT: I was torn between that and just using the Commissioner's words of they are "just pieces of metal."

Hey, the Marlins arent a real team anyway. 

Can't wait for MLB to decide that the start of the season will look like that Baltimore game a few years back.

Because she isnt a rock star personality. And we American really enjoy our star fucking. We have been doing it since Washington, which makes it American as apple pie.

CNN is reporting he redirected his plane to South Bend en-route to a campaign event... okay who called him? Pelosi or Obama. 

I'm going with either Biden offered him the running mate spot if he won, or Bloomberg put a pile of cash in his plane and told him to drop out. 

So in a few days when the Taliban violate this agreement, Orange the Great and Powerful will look the other way and say it is going well. 

So is he saying this will make it a crime for people of color to be lynched?

Must have been tired of trying to get drunk off piss water. All joking aside. Thought and Prayers or some form of bullshit. 

I don't think I have been to the Youtube homepage in over a decade. 

So he will be out next month with a pardon. 

Man I cant even imagine what county they did that poll in. Even in our small county it seems that early voting leans heavy on Bernie with Buttigieg and Klobuchar after. But that was only with 68 people early voting here. Also there were people that filled out undecided on all 3 choices thinking they are allowed to vote this upcoming weekend after early voting.

Yep, I adore CoI and a complete copy in good shape has been on my wanted list for a long time. I can play this game for hours (Actually played for a good hour today). This was my first time playing BBros on Genesis and it's great fun but really damn hard for a game that doesn't look very complex on the surface. I really love collecting for the genesis but it's been pretty hard to find games complete with their manual in good shape locally. It's a real shame. =( 

Yeah manuals seem to be hit or miss. Like I have seen case that look pristine with manuals that look like they are dog chew toys. 

Those are two of the first games I tracked down when I starting putting back together my Genesis collection. So much fun to be had with both of them.

Well this sounds incredibly stupid. 

Pretty much par for course under Manfred.
