Or do they get their own food?

Table service with masks and gloves.  I trust the tip % was strong.

Not the worst thing that could happen.

My friends restaurant here in RVA has set a new sales record every weekend day since April 4th. 

I have a couple restaurant friends that have gone full online catering.  They sell out Friday by 6:00PM Thursday.  They don’t even answer the phone.

So, it’s reopening day in VA.  Couple of anecdotal points...

Theres palpable optimism in Central Va.  Car biz is slightly better than expected.  Many, many restaurants are doing strong takeout.  Local online retail stuff is fairly robust.  IOW, customers are spending.

Speaking of restaurants, Northam deciding to drop Phase 1 on an 85 degree Friday is a bold play.  Opening up the patios. Lots of gray area in the regulations...some joints were throwing up tents and fold-ups in their parking lots on 72 hours notice to try and meet the specs.  Pretty sure the state just threw up their hands and said “have at it”.

Fairfax and Richmond begged out for two weeks.  Wisely.

Northam could’ve hedged his bet and waited a few days...gonna be 65 and raining on Wednesday.  Giving all involved a few more days to prep.  Go big next weekend.

Money talks.  State needs revenue.

You know it. I play a D'Angelico through it, it's peak lushness. Can hardly stand to use any effects the tone sounds so good.

That sounds like something a Jazz nerd would say.

That's a beaut, Bealster. Me and my Princeton have been getting down a lot during quarantine.

Mmmm, that sweet vintage tone.  I loaned my last Vox to a buddy about 5 years ago and...it’s never coming home.

High time to re-up.  Might post a clip later...

If there was a vaccine available today, I probably wouldn’t take it.  No way is something cranked out that fast been fully vetted.  I’ve seen I Am Legend.

How is a 50/50 revenue split letting the employees carry all of the losses?

 

I would ****ing love if the owners of my company split the profits 50/50 with the worker bees. 

 

Owners get profits/losses.

Workers get wages.

Thank you coming to my TED Talk.

Blake Snell can go **** all the way off.

Counterpoint...MLB teams are extremely profitable year after year.  Is kneecapping every employee under contract the only way for them to survive a single down year?  Does that sound like a fair business practice?  To keep all the profits and let your employees carry all the losses?

Let them descend and let them get covid and die .

Go away.

I’m as pro-business as any sane person can really be, but going shoulder to shoulder sans masks for a few Mich Ultras is an absolutely terrible idea right now.

I appreciate Llevron going with the European spelling.  Lends an air of sophistication.

On one hand, I sympathize with Musk regarding the factory.  Other manufacturers were moving towards a restart and California wasn’t really on board.

On the other hand, I think a trip to rehab is likely in Mr Musk’s near future.

I can say with some confidence that you will never find me at a Pittsburgh-area Red Lobster.
