I think it would be wise for some Republican politicians to start referring to death rates not by age, but by working age vs non-working age. If they really want to open up the economy that is truly the dividing line... workers vs non-workers. It's pretty easy for non-workers to social distance and take personal protective measures IF they choose to.

NY just closed school for the year. This is so fucked up. I had a customer tell me he tried to get guys to come back to work and most said no because they are making more money to stay home. That deal goes to 7/31. They knew that deal would keep people home and not working. Slimy politician snuck another one by the people. Throw their stimulus checks on top of it and many people are making out great. It is all the small businesses that are taking it up the ass.

Chummer, you think any of these workers are asking to work off the payrole... under the table type of thing? I'm still working from home but have much more time on the place than I've ever had. Spending a lot of that time making repairs and improvements on the ranch that will pay off in the long run. So in a sense I'm working for myself some extra, but I could see some taking their government checks and trying to work at the same time. Tempting for the small businesses to do this? Hire guys but don't tell the governor...

I know of some people who were working a full time and an occasional part time job. The manager of the part time job has tried to get them to work and they won’t do it.

Hire guys but don't tell the governor... This is construction. Nobody I know pays people under the table. It may differ in other states but in NY it is not worth the risk to hire people under the table. At least for the construction companies I deal with. Even when I had my landscaping business very rarely did I pay someone under the table. The biggest problem I had was accounting for the cash needed to pay them. You had to have under the table income to pay under the table workers. Liability laws in NY make the risk far to big.

Meanwhile, the governor of CA is talking about opening schools back up in July

I wonder how so many undocumented Mexicans make money. I always figured a certain percentage of the workers in certai crews were not on the official payroll. The company still highers a crew and money is accounted for, but the job gets done quicker type of thing. I don't actually know, that's why I'm asking.

Here is what I would suggest. You should also wear this on your morning walks. If the hair salons stay closed much longer all women might start wearing these.
