We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Local restaurant shut down and laid off all their staff when inside dining was curtailed. The owner just re-opened with a couple of volunteers to do curbside service.

Fucking scabs!
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Staying busy - I'm refinishing a wall in the entryway that's LONG overdue - and then start working down the hallway. I had been planning this for a while, and bought supplies about a month ago. Nice to have less work to deal with for a while, so I can keep my days filled with battling an epic to do list. :)

Dr. Bonnie Henry confirmed that B.C. has been using anti-malarial and anti-viral AIDS drugs in trials at one facility, although she didn't confirm where.

"Our critical-care physicians are watching the data," she said. "There will be more use of all of the potential therapeutics."

David Icke is certain the Reptilians are behind this, He thinks it's a rewiring of human consciousness and those that resist hooking up to the borg voluntarily will be forced to do so.

He paints a very grim picture.

They wouldn’t be able to do that here. If you are laid off because of work shortage, and the company is hiring within the next six months, they have to offer you the position before taking on someone else.

If you are fired because of something you did, it doesn’t apply, just if they have cited work shortage as the cause.

I think it is incredibly sleazy, especially because those workers and volunteers are all reliable for government COVID19 handouts. The government could even be covering 75% of their wages for the employer.
