So I'm a department chair at work (a school), and we just got the draft of our schedule/'rona plan for the 2020-2021 academic year. Even if we are physically in the building, we're losing a minimum of 25% of our instructional contact time across the board. Co- and extra-curriculars are basically a no-go for the year, regardless, and athletics may be also a wash. Area heads of school are all going to decide at the end of summer. A 25% loss is close to crippling (and in my MS classes, I'm literally losing 50% of my contact time, down to 2 45-min meetings per week). And that's just in the best case scenario when every kid is on campus. The invisible lost time of a hybrid model (either on/off weeks or half the kids in, half the kids out at a given time) or online model are even greater. This is the "new normal": we're selling our kids up shit creek without a paddle because of media sensationalism and leftist authoritarianism. Fuck them one and all. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Due to increased demand, the Mississippi Alcoholic Beverage Control is stopping orders so it can keep up. From July 10 to July 20, ABC is temporarily suspending the ability to place liquor orders. ABC says they have a 29% increase in case sales over the last four months; they’ve shipped more than 1.3 million cases of wine and spirits in that time. They will continue to ship out the 100,000 cases in their system as orders are suspended. LINK: https://www.wlox.com/2020/07/1...s-halts-orders-days/ | |||

And my first response to this would be...why? We're being told how things are going to be by a lot of people without any explanation or Q&A at all. I think it incumbent on all of to put the screws to these people and make them explain their decisions. Just curious but why are the schools administrators making these decisions? I would hope such sweeping decisions would either be made at the school board level and/or through the city/county mayor's office. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

ABC? WTF? What kind of commie state do you live in? Wouldn't it be better to have a free-market to handle supply disruptions in this essential industry? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^ Look we just eliminated Prohibiton last week. The ABC board has been in charge forever. It is a short drive to LA to get whatever you need at a much lower price. See below: The state of Mississippi is officially ending Prohibition, almost 90 years after alcohol was legalized in the United States. A new law allowing the possession of alcohol in every county in Mississippi was signed into law by Gov. Tate Reeves on Tuesday. It will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2021.Jul 2, 2020 | |||

Are the counties that Gov Reeves just mandated face masks in public the higher populated areas in Mississippi? | |||

The city of Augusta GA just instituted a mandatory mask policy for 30 days (following Atlanta, Athens, and a few others). The governor, however, says it's unenforceable. Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. - Dave Barry "Never go through life saying 'I should have'..." - quote from the 9/11 Boatlift Story (thanks, sdy for posting it) | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^ The metro area in Jackson, the two coastal counties and the county near Memphis are the most populated. There have been outliers in the past that are very rural areas as well. The Choctaw reservation has a high rate of infection and death. | |||

There is still an active moonshine presence. A friend of mine is an ABC enforcement agent. Part of the time they bust moonshiners. The Coastal counties have been able to serve liquor around the clock since the early 90s. Philosophically, the area is more tied to the culture of New Orleans and Mobile. Our area relies primarily upon tourism and the seafood industry. | |||

The sheriff up on Montgomery Texas was on the radio yesterday saying he is not going to enforce Gov.Abbotts requirement about wearing masks. He said it’s not legal, and he is not going to waste his dept time with this. There are a few other counties that are also refusing to honor it. Abbott said today if Texas is going to refuse to wear masks, he would lock the state down again. "Hold my beer.....Watch this". | |||

Montgomery County has also invited the state Republican Convention to relocate there. The event was set for Houston, but now Houston's Mayor is basically trying to cancel the event by arguing that there's been a recent rise in Kung Flu cases and that no other conventions have been scheduled for the rest of the year. Don't know what'll happen; I think the Executive Committee is supposed to meet this weekend. An appeal (or two) has supposedly been made to the state Supreme Court, but no information seems to be available about it beyond this: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/...nvention/ar-BB16AxtX | |||

I asked that about 3 weeks ago and no response. No email in his profile either, wasn’t sure if anyone knew him outside of posts. The above was his last post other than a couple around the same time, first of June. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

The other joyous part of the MS setup is every single bottle of wine and liquor is processed through a single facility in Jackson area. Imagine how efficient that is. Spoke with a distiller in the area who also has a separate adjacent storefront where he sells his product. After bottling he has to ship to state and gets it back with markup in a few weeks to sell 20 feet from where it was made. It’s not just the COVID that makes this state stoopid.

The Fake News and Fallacy of this Bullshit- Masks are "To Protect Others" so him not wearing one wouldn't of made any difference for him. What's the point of the article other than fear mongering? This quote doesn't make any sense: "if I can convince one person to wear a mask, that is one more person that could possibly have it and be asymptomatic and not cause someone else to lose their dad," Amy said" He didn't lack protection by not wearing a mask that doesn't work- he only spread the disease to others?
https://komonews.com/news/nati...refused-to-wear-mask There's going to be an entire generation of mental cases because of this media hysteria. This guy never had it But that didn't matter: "Dr Joseph Fair appeared at least 10 times on NBC and MSNBC over the last two months to share his fight against Covid-19 with the networks’ viewers. His television appearances – including an interview from his hospital bed – fueled panic about the illness. Describing himself as a fit and healthy 42-year-old, Fair claimed in May that he had absorbed the virus through his eyes while on a flight. As it turns out, there is no reason to believe he ever contracted the virus.
