I suggest you do some more research before downplaying the pandemic. Anecdotes are not data.
If we're talking about anecdotes, two people in my life have died of COVID-19, and another two were pretty sick.

Sorry to hear that Lacius,even though i try to stay indoors and away from people my mental wellness cannot deal with isolation
Physical distancing shouldn't be social distancing. Depending on where you live, the calculated risk of masks, six feet apart, and outdoors is doable. Zooming is obviously acceptable. Do what you can to avoid the mental tolls of isolation.
EOPS
Employee Share Ownership Plan
You could buy stock if you wanna own part of the company. Limited control of the company but might have some power to vote for board of director members.
But how much of a say should an every day minimum wage worker should have in the company? That's kind of the obligation of being an owner of a company to have a say in all aspects including financial side of things. Should a burger flipper at McDonald's who has no experience economics have a say on how the company should manage the financial side of things? How many buns, meat, ingredients, should be purchased, which locations are financially struggling and how to allocate money resources to improve those locations. And how many locations to open up?
Also what if someone joins a company 20 years after the buisness first started. Should they automatically have ownership of stoves and grills they did work for since they weren't a part of the company when it first started. Or should they work up towards that type of ownership. Proving they are capable of managing the business correctly. Kinda like what we have now a Manager. Different tiers depending on your capabilities you have proven that you can handle.

Does Allan Lichtman Stand by His “13 Keys” Prediction of a Joe Biden Win?

In NY, as long as you are in line when 9pm strikes, they cannot refuse your right.
I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I do suggest just letting @Lacius be as after some months of talking with him and seeing what he posts I found him to be a simple political shill. He's got TDS so bad he can't even list 1 accomplishment that Trump has done that he agrees with. Then there's @LumInvader who posts nothing, but links to news coming from the left side of the isle. Both of them are bias, try to hide it, but fail miserably.

Cool, thanks for putting up with a simple line to vote. Who are you choosing, Biden or Trump (or someone else)?
I think I'm leaning towards Election Day being an official holiday.
I did not know that. I thought everyone would stop the lines at 7.
I wasn't talking about myself. I didn't have to wait in a line. Biden.
Fact check: I listed a Trump accomplishment I liked.
I decided to watch ABC News live stream event tonight, it's just unfortunate that most of the reporters and guests are rooting for Biden. Their coverage is very slanted to the left, but this is ABC News who will delete your comments on their stories if they are pro-conservative.
If anyone is interested in their stream it's located below.

That's cool, but there's still many States that haven't reported results as it's only 5:30pm on the West Coast. Remember though, Trump could win the popular vote and still lose the election. I just hope the early voting numbers that showed Biden winning are all turned around as we're seeing record turn out around the country for the 2020 election. If Biden wins the new normal will be everyone having to pay more taxes and the economy turning to shit. I hope he doesn't win, but we won't know for some time, maybe days or weeks.
Did you vote and if so who did you vote for?
Just for the record. That "If Biden wins everyone will pay more taxes" line is complete bullshit. Gregory is one of the biggest political shills on the entire site. Along with SUPRA or whatever that morons name is.
That's odd, because he's on video telling everyone their taxes are going to be increased. What do you think what happens when you tax more than 50% of apartment complexes income? The rent goes up. He's also a proponent of the New Green Deal, that will raise the taxes by 4 trillion dollars. So I'm not sure what you're referring to, but Biden is going to raise taxes.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
