I am embarrassed to admit I had to google that, chrismg. Good one!
Cloud computing sounds hard. Are they discrete or continuous?
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

I vote for Beverly's plan for our criminals. I think occasionally some lucky taxpayers should float by in a hot air balloon so they could throw rocks and show off their cheeseburgers and pizza and warm sweaters. Grrrrrr!
Job~ma Gud! The recruiter thinks you can do it and so do I.

I am not much of a meat eater, so I have less personal interest in the whole meat supply chain issue, but it occurred to me - considering how many of the people working in the plants are or can easily become sick, would you want to eat anything they'd processed?
I try to buy most of my fruit and veggies and eggs from the farmers' market, but they're closed down for the time being. The food's fresher and I have more faith that the food will be less likely to be contaminated by anything.

Ooh, our farmer's market is allowed to be open although under some restrictions that I don't remember right now. I think it's produce only. And I think it's tomorrow, when I will be furloughed, so maybe I can go! I should look up how it works these days...

I'll sign on for Beverly's plan. Can I volunteer to be one of the guards if I bring my own bow & arrows? I'd like to practice my leg shots and see how fast some big game trophy hunters can drag themselves to safety.
Job~ma to you, Gudanov! Fortune favors the bold!

Framing the issue of ag worker health and safety as a consumption issue is how we got the last 100 years of failed worker protection policies. Food safety is not what's at risk here. t /soapbox

Thrive to spite them
The local farmers market is opening soon with strict guidelines about how it will work. I'm expecting a lot of bitching about it on local Facebook groups
Fewer people wearing masks. One Chad type dude who was one sentence away from me just calling the manager to come down and talk to him. But the dude left

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Our farmer's market is open. I went last Saturday. They've spread out the vendors (taking over most of the parking lot), instituted one-way movement for customers, and insist on masks. With it being out in the open air, I felt better shopping there than I did in the grocery store.
