Motion seconded.

Funny thing is that it would help protect shareholders. Especially the longer term actual investors, but even many algorithm worshipers. And its well within the BoD's obligation to shareholders to mine the waters with poison pills to protect from the predator vampire parasites. Just in case though, we still need to press for legialation cutting the parasitic vermin LBO scum out of the picture. Invest in a company or not, but a hundred thousand jobs should never be on the line because some dirtbag "buys a company with its own money" and trashes it just because the company did the right thing with a responsibile resilient balance sheet.

Hopefuly you're not blowing 6 figures a head on a college "education" for the most dependant generation in world history. You'll more likely need that money for yourself, and at a time when their children will whimsically wish for your death so they can get their grubby little hands on the money they had no skills to earn.

But sure, let's call it "triggered" to disagree with joking about the deaths of the elderly. You do you.

Someone’s going to have to fly us freight dogs around to start our trips.

Containment was never viable. Flattening the curve will save a lot of lives. AKA social distancing, which is impossible in an airport, much less an airplane.
Thats why the malls and stores were crowded today. I'll distance myself on the airplane but get cozy with people at Target or Costco.

The Jewel/Osco at Clark & Division in Chicago has a bar upstairs. You can take your cart up there, and see if anything interesting is shopping too.(Hint- look for diet meals and wine in other carts... no steak and beer.)
