Right now teachers are collecting from home. (Well, last check as the school year ends.) My niece (a teacher) took her daughter out of daycare and basically built a fort around their house. Funny part? Her SO works in the fire department and saw a ton of people on his days-on and yet no one was allowed near their house until two weeks ago. SMH ...never...NEVER......and probably no Dem would because of the money the Unions provide......have read several articles recently written by AFRICAN-AMERICAN educators who deplore teacher Unions for their fight against Charter Schools......citing Charter Schools as being a critical avenue for aspiring African-American students to escape the abysmal failures of city public school systems....BILLIONS more poured in with lesser results.......denying the aspiring the freedom of choice is repulsive............

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Cuomo, de Blasio wrong to limit worship services, condone mass protests: federal judge New York Gov. coronavirus orders unfairly targeted houses of worship, federal judge says. A federal judge said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Letitia James, and New York City Mayor a Bill de Blasio "exceeded" their executive limits by limiting worship services and condoning mass protests as the state continues to reopen from coronavirus restrictions. </snip> Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio could have just as easily discouraged protests, short of condemning their message, in the name of public health and exercised discretion to suspend enforcement for public safety reasons instead of encouraging what they knew was a flagrant disregard of the outdoor limits and social distancing rules," the judge added. "They could have also been silent. But by acting as they did, Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio sent a clear message that mass protests are deserving of preferential treatment." </snip> As a result of the federal order, Cuomo, James, and de Blasio are "enjoined and restrained from enforcing any indoor gathering limitations” against the involved houses of worship “greater than imposed for Phase 2 industries,” provided that participants follow the prescribed social distancing. They are also forbidden from “enforcing any limitation for outdoor gatherings provided that participants in such gatherings follow social distancing requirements as set forth in the applicable executive orders and guidance.” </snip> 2
B-Man Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Masks are a tool, useful in the right application. They’ve become a political fetish object for reasons that have nothing to do with their utility. Truth........ Our nurses deserve a lot more respect than they usually get.

On one hand, you have a stubbornly high amount of people continuing to file for unemployment benefits and on the other you have less overall people receiving them, which shows that there is a lot of rehiring. BLS This sort of underscores a point that I was making to a friend of mine the other day. This is not the sort of recovery where everything will just snap back or is fully dependent on whether or not a company is allowed to come online, and smooth sailing ahead. Even though some of these companies are reopening they are still struggling, they have to operate at less than full capacity. It's difficult to sustain that for many small businesses, so unless some sort of urgent action of additional stimulus is provided for these small businesses, I do think we will continue to keep seeing lots of layoffs for some time while seeing lots of companies and employees coming back online. Definitely some crosscurrents are at play. The Bureau of Labor Statistic also estimates that there are another 9 million people not in the work force who would like jobs ... "The number of persons not in the labor force who currently want a job, at 9.0 million,declined by 954,000 in May, after increasing by 4.4 million in April. These individuals were not counted as unemployed because they were not actively looking for work during the last 4 weeks or were unavailable to take a job" BLS Stats

Easy for people such as ourselves to see but I would imagine quite a few people even now do not see the ramifications of unrealized tax revenue. I don't think districts are allowed to borrow money for non-capital projects. Even before Corona the City of Rochester SD was facing a seven figure deficit with the only real option of cutting staff to make up for the short fall. I would imagine many districts if they are not facing issues will face them.

Too bad some governors can't read and thought the CDC recommended returning infected people to nursing homes.
