I have a possibly dumb question. In areas that are now on a lockdown, can you be out in your yard? Everything I've read refers to orders for people to stay in their homes.
I"m curious how it works if you live in a shelter state but work in a free for all state (IL to MO). Or vice versa I guess. I mean, I don't have a job right now, so it doesn't effect me, but I'm curious what my old job will do as half of the employees live in IL.
I live in the bay (we were the first to shelter in place, starting Monday). We're allowed to get outside for exercise/walks, so yards are fine.
I keep seeing people say big companies don’t deserve bailouts and fuck them because they make so much money. But one of those companies (Boeing) is my company’s biggest customer. It’s frustrating for people to not think about the supply chain. Boring being able to buy composite materials means I have a job.

People that have said things like that in my circles are more frustrated because Americans are suposed to save for emergencies and pay taxes, but these large companies don’t have to follow the same rules. Plus CEOs of these companies make an excessive amount of money. That money could likely go to a "rainy day fund" so they wouldn’t need such a large bail out.
It’s a pretty shitty feeling when the owner of Amazon is one of the richest people in the world, and Amazon pays no business taxes yet Americans are dying because they can’t afford health insurance/care. I think it’s more a rant against capitalism and greed (at least in my circles) than not understanding how supply chains work.
I wanted to post Nelson saying haha because I have not forgiven AC for his treatment of the horrible below deck brus. But I am not actually callous enough to wish ill and certainly not on a father of a young kid nor on most of his guests.
Now CPAC attendees, they can all exist stage right, and I'd throw a party.

gault - as counsellors, we've gone to either online video therapy or chat services. He might want to check with his employer to see if that would be possible.
No lock No sign in. No visitor pass. No security. No sanitizer. I’m pretty peeved about it. As I am planning on moving to senior housing myself I have visited this place and while I had already selected another place, I have an email address for the director and am thinking of mentioning it to them. Is this over the top?
Why? Does it usually have all those things in place and this was a lapse in normal protocol?

Yeah. I understand that Boeing having to shutter would cause a lot of innocent people a lot of harm. I'd support a bailout that came with serious regulations on their CEO pay, rules preventing excessive stock buybacks, required savings funds to protect workers in the future (unemployment, medical, etc.).
I'm just using Boeing here as an example. This applies to many large businesses in the U.S. that are run with a very extreme, short-term capitalistic outlook.

Foremost, even outside of the context of this pandemic it seems the basic security in any apartment building would be a locked entrance. Literally anyone can get in and do whatever they want and go wherever the elevator takes them. In the connect of a senior housing complex this seems to leave those elderly vulnerable. Add in a worldwide pandemic and, I dunno, I feel like the least they can do is lock the door. I do get what you’re saying though.
My perspective also comes from the context that I live in a multi-building complex and my building houses the leasing office. They leave the building unlocked when the leasing office is open but at least a couple of times a month I see that the door is open when the office is not and that drives me crazy. Leave YOUR home’s door unlocked if you want but please lock MINE on your way out!

I think you’re overreacting. If this is how things normally are then everyone knew that going in. I have never lived in an apartment with a locked front entrance but I knew that going in and accepted that risk for myself.
ETA and I don’t think it’s as easy as just “lock the door.”

Honestly I had no idea this is normal. I haven’t lived in an apartment for literally decades but I recall them always being “locked” ... and by locked I mean locked but usually propped open because they were locked. That always drove me crazy back then, too. I’ll take both of your replies and let this go.
I feel like it is #regional. College apartments in small Midwest city unlocked front door to the building, but residents keep their apartment doors locked. Apartments in NYC and Chicago for example- locked front door to the building and locked apartments.
As for senior centers typically the ones I’ve been to have had a locked door or a reception/ check in desk. That I can remember anyway.

Seattleites - I can't remember where everyone lives but Tom Douglas is doing a drive-through, no-touch dinner pick up in Ballard with 100% of the proceeds going to Food Lifeline. Today and tomorrow, noon - 5pm. $20 per person for a salmon dinner. NonnyturbopicksthemusicWOT?*bugandbibs

Yep exactly. Also I don't know if this is still true, but I saw last week that Amazon was encouraging people to share sick/vacation days with those who didn't have enough...instead of you know being generous with leave policies right now like every other organization. Jeff Bezos could certainly afford to pay people for time off.
The people that run these companies in general aren't smarter or better than the rest of us. They're sitting at home while some of us don't have enough PPE. I don't think it's a coincidence that most of them are white men...hello privilege. Privilege, capitalism and greed.

Confession: I don't like salmon, and even not during a pandemic I try to avoid going to Ballard. To me Ballard is the Hotel California of neighborhoods - you can visit but never leave. Every time I go I'm able to find my destination no problem, and then when it's time to leave I spend an infuriating extra hour getting lost trying to find the mystery unmarked freeway entrance to go home. It stresses me out so bad, and half the time there are tears (and always there is me scream swearing in the car).

Nonny, this had me totally laughing as I felt the same way years ago. I grew up on the east side and am living on the eastside now, but lived in Ballard at some point in between and finally figure it out.
