Sounds like another Joel Osteen. Money is their only god.

here near Chicago for bands out of gigs now, Jim Peternik and his son Colin have a studio called The Jam Lab that are now giving bands free time and use of their space to put on live streams with sound done and mixed by the Peternik's. Its actually pretty cool for them to do this considering Jim's impressive resume in the music industry helping out these indie bands still have a place to play and give concerts on the net.

The management company that owns the apartment building I live in are being utter assholes. I got an e-mail within the past couple of days that, in so many words, says "if you need any financial assistance because you're not working, that's on you because rent is still due when it's due and we won't be offering any relief or assistance". Actually, I refrain from calling them assholes, because an asshole has warmth and depth, qualities they're clearly lacking. I'm just glad I work in a grocery store and won't have to worry about getting thrown out on my ass because I can't pay my rent.

Shocking news, Mike Ashley is scum. Tried to claim sports direct was essential. Since backtracked but hopefully people will remember.

Mike Ashley: "I'm the biggest piece of shit in the U.K." Tim Martin: "Hold my beer."

Cheers to IOC member Dick Pound for the prudent decision to delay the Olympic Games. Also for the fact that his name is Dick Pound and he’s probably spent his whole life dealing with utterly juvenile BS related to his name.

Three weeks ago me and a bunch of coworkers were told our union got us two weeks paid if we had to shut down and “shockingly” a week later 106 of us are temporarily laid off without warning without pay.

CeX closed with full contract pay, online-only shifts also available for low-contract staff to bump up their pay.

I wish he had a surgical procedure named after him like Tommy John, oh man he has to have Dick Pound.

Amazon is way to convenient with to much variety and top of the line pricing to ever go away.

Its cheaper than the opposition (I assume, ive never actually been) and so people will keep going.

That's what needs to change.

Staff to be paid 100% of contracted hours for the duration, with volunteers to be paid extra to maintain security presence in the empty hotels.
That's a win for me.

Jus talked to the gals at my go to Starbucks. According to them, the company is paying you if you choose to work or not, and those that do are getting an additional $3 an hour.
Pretty admirable for a soulless greedy capitalist blah blah blah company.
