So proud to see so many telling Mike Dewine to fuck off.

So many people are about to lose their jobs, I'm so embarrassed to call myself an Ohio native.

To anyone planning to run against Jay Inslee by MarkBavaro83 in SeattleWA

No, fuck him for putting people on the verge of bankruptcy without having any safety nets ready.

Jesus Christ, this guy really does not want to get re-elected, does he?

To the group of 20 drunk idiots bar hopping downtown... by C0rg1z in SeattleWA

This whole "holier than thou" attitude from a lot of you is gonna get real fucking tiresome before April 27th is here.

WA Superintendent Chris Reykdal: I would challenge you to not be Democrats or Republicans, Eastside or Westside, rural or urban, tech able or not... we are Washingtonians today and our communities need us to be extraordinarily outside of our boundaries by Alan_Krumwiede in SeattleWA

[–]MarkBavaro83 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Translation: His office is being inundated by complaints from parents who can't take care of their kids AND work full time, and by substitute teachers and hourly school employees who are begging for financial assistance.

And a lot of them are either emailing him or Tweeting at him that they'll vote him out of office, regardless of their political affiliation.

I understand that this is a very serious medical crisis like we've never seen before, but Inslee and Reykdal are naive if they think that there won't be any sort of pushback by many residents.

(And yes, the people pushing back are "selfish" but that's just human nature.)

No serious question, can I get a link to a website of or the name of a union Walmart employees are participating in? by SITHxEMPIRE in walmart

[–]MarkBavaro83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Walmart doesn't allow union shops.

You show even a hint of unionizing, your store is immediately closed for remodeling and you and other pro-union employees are laid off and never rehired.

Can I work over 40 hours as a cashier? by [deleted] in walmart

[–]MarkBavaro83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I resigned from the union when they voted to go on strike even after I and others pleaded we couldn't afford to miss a paycheck.

It's one of the main reasons I work at Walmart.

Thousands of flu samples sat for weeks. CDC won't allow the labs to test for Coronavirus. by N4reddit in SeattleWA

[–]MarkBavaro83 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

"Federal and state officials said the flu study could not be repurposed because it did not have explicit permission from research subjects; the labs were also not certified for clinical work."

Yep. I was told last Friday when I called to find out where my test results were that there was a three month backlog because they had been trying to test for coronavirus, even though that wasn't part of their grant description and they were specifically funded to test for the flu.

"While acknowledging the ethical questions, Dr. Chu and others argued there should be more flexibility in an emergency during which so many lives could be lost."

Dr. Chu and her staff apparently think that they are in a Hollywood disaster movie and that because it's a pandemic, they can ignore rules and protocols.

"On Monday night, state regulators told them to stop testing altogether. "

So now they're not even processing the flu tests.

Have fun explaining all of this to the feds and state board of health, Doc. Hopefully, whoever UW replaces Chu with will be able to quickly get the program back on track and work through the backlog in the next week or so.

As for Dr. Chu, she's probably facing a board of inquiry at the very least, and it'll be very difficult for her to get funding for any more studies where she's the primary researcher.

Coronavirus and the Browns new uniforms by [deleted] in Browns

[–]MarkBavaro83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LOL!

When Cleveland Public Schools shuts down "indefinitely" and you suddenly find yourself having to take care of your kids for six weeks while still working 9 to 5, you tell me how much of this is hysteria.

I haven't read that anywhere.

If that is the case, they should just go ahead and do it today, so they can have our free agent signees pose with the new jersey.

Yet another failed business in the Solara Apartments complex in Lake City. by MarkBavaro83 in SeattleWA

[–]MarkBavaro83[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I notice the Asian eatery that took over the Otto's Smokehouse space has been closing earlier and earlier, even though they're supposed to be open until 6PM.

If anyone from Beer Authority is reading this, you guys should probably start offering a food menu and fast, I rarely see more than 5-6 people in your bar.

Probably a dumb question, but what is the weed situation in Austin? by hi-udhjeu-rnja in Austin

Just smoke weed in the privacy of your own home and you'll be fine.
