555 cases per day, time to let loose!

Probably a stupid question - I was on their website and they didn't specify - Does "family" mean myself and my wife? Or do you have to have kids?

You do not need to have kids to be considered a family.

I believe its a wash if declaring as family or not. Family is 2 people ( adults ) for a total of 1000, so each gets 500. Singles declare and receive 500 so it's the same.

Atleast, that's how I'd understand it. 500 for each eligible "voter" persay?

well if I declared single, I would've got reduced amount versus as family getting total of 1k:okay:

If One of you makes 50k and one makes 75k, you will be eligible for the whole 1k as a family as opposed to the 500 and approx $300 you'd get when filing independently.

That's good. My son lives with me and he doesn't make a whole lot right now.

We are family....... I got my son and............. words don't fit, damn it.

I think even common law couples are considered a “family” under this

Every adult in your household can apply. If you are married or common law, then you apply together as a unit.

So your son can apply individually. Anyone who is 19+ can apply. But I don't think you and your son can apply as a 'family'. You and your son would have to apply as individuals ... I think.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard wants to re-introduce a WWII era law that allows them to put a temporary heavy tax on corporations that made larger profits due to the pandemic, and use it to bail out small businesses that suffered due to the pandemic.

Seems like something most normal people would support :considered:

They can’t even pass $600 payments for people, very doubtful that gets through even though it makes perfect sense

If they could tax speculation in private equity they could probably get everyone back on their feet..

Buddy!!! Turn around.



Good to see your back.

Heard this on the radio yesterday and thought it was pretty funny.

They need to stop using the word “bubble” interchangeably with household for clarity. I’ve had the same conversation with people about how they can see their friends (their bubble) in restaurants but can’t have them over and how it doesn’t make sense. I have to explain to them that they can’t see their friends in restaurants either. That said Horgan should have a better understanding of the rules than rob the contractor or whatever.

This is a good article to read about viruses.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/22/afric...ntl/index.html

Summary of this article:

Once a new virus begins circulating among humans, the consequences of a brief encounter at the edge of a forest or at a wet market could be devastating. Covid-19 has shown that. Ebola has proved it. And in most of the scientific publications there is an assumption that there will be more contagions coming as humans continue to destroy wilderness habitats. It's not an "IF" it's a "WHEN".

The solution is clear. Protect the forests to protect humanity -- because Mother Nature has deadly weapons in her armory.

Mother Nature can be a big, bad, bitch if she wants to be in response to humanity's disrgard for the environment. :heckno:

Wasn't it proven that it didn't come from the wet market? There were cases much earlier than that outbreak that had no connection to the wet market.

Typical, like when the Governor of California was telling people no large gatherings. stay in your bubble then goes and meets friends at a birthday dinner with a group of 11 or 12.

To be fair I think in Horgan's case he just didn't know the rules, that said I mean he of all people should really know what Dr Henry is telling everyone else to do.

NDP tried that here but was blocked in parliament.

Well, failed my work health assessment this morning. Woke up feeling kinda gross achey all over no fever or anything though but 811 still recommended a test, off I go

^ #RSismyfamily ... like how you're feeling terrible, about to go for Covid test, but wait ... let me check in on RS and tell my fam first!

RS Fam comes first

I think the work health assessment are bs, basically everyone lies and say they have nothing cuz they look down on you for staying home cuz you have a slight cough. Obviously everyone says they are fatigued and doesn't want to go to work.

You know your body best, be your own judge. Our work has medical obvs so if we need to take 2 weeks off it’s paid thru short term LOA with doctors note.

I get headaches all the time. Whether from caffeine withdrawal or a rainy day after a week of sun (aparently pretty common). But if I have a really bad migraine or something suspicious maybe take the day off. I also have a 7mo old at home so obviously I’m always tired/fatigued. The point is you know your body, you know what’s normal and what isnt

Part of that is the North American work culture looking down upon their employees taking sick days off. The entire workforce would be stronger and healthier if that negative stigma was removed from it. You're seeing more and more companies transition sick days into 'personal health days' or 'mental wellness days' because they understand that their employees are humans and there are days where we all feel like absolute shit for no reason. The mental health benefits alone would be awesome.

Far too many companies issue some sort of "attendance wellness program" where it's basically HR giving you shit and having all their eyes on you because you've taken more sick days than others. It's utter bullshit.
