I'm always prepped with 3 months of canned food. But at what point will my employer stop expecting me to show up? When I catch it or my kids bring it home, it's too late!
Vertical videos should be a damn crime. Shame on the streamer.
I thunk the Game and Fish Dept should take the lead. The have a head start by dealing with CWD
A pro like Tate Reeves can handle the media as well as any governor

In hindsight it was an absolutely genius move that Mississippi decided to accept federal funding to expand Medicaid under the ACA. Think about the problems prevented when sick people can afford their necessary healthcare and medications. This matters whether or not they are sick with the contagious corona virus.
Also the president has recognized the problem with uninsured and the corona virus and healthcare: "They have a big problem & we're going to look at the uninsured people that, you know, this came out as a surprise to all of us. It just happened. It shows what can happen in life ... [we're gonna] see if we can help them out" https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1234944993707675650
It's a good thing the president thinks the United States has the best healthcare in the world. Whether or not it's available or affordable or used, it's there.
2:14 You are so on point. You ought to be able to take off with full pay for as long as you feel the need.
Does one contract the coronavirus from drinking Corona beer?
Not to worry. I hear the virus won't last long. After all, it's made in China.
The gubner established a committee? No cases in Mississippi? Now a press conference? HELL YEAH! That's how to git-r-dun!
2:45 - Right on. Remember, it was Bill Clinton who first proposed mandated paid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act and also floated the idea of mandated leave for the illnesses of pets. Y'all can lay off Trump. Bill was the first Bernie.
@2:37
Yes every lazy POS deserves to be taken care of, cradle to the grave.
I'm sure the government taxing those who work and earn, and handing it to ungrateful parasites does nothing to prevent achievement.
My point is, the more free shit you give away, the less motivation people have to participate in what it takes to create a civilization that provides the free shit.
Brilliant 2:45, that's exactly what I expect. The ability to take off any time I want whenever I want. Not due to a deadly pandemic. Absolute genius.
@2:45
How short sighted can you be? If you dont help your employees prevent spreading the virus at home and at work then you will lose money on the long run.
But if you allow your employees to take paid leave and they can be as productive as possible at home with their families and return when the pandemic ends forever loyal to their merciful task master.
Another possibility is that half the population dies and business as we know it ceases as society collapses.
If one wanted to have a 3 month supply of canned food, what should those items be?
5:09, I've tried the ol' "loyal to their merciful taskmaster" approach, and it doesn't work. The employee is no different than the employer. They're both out for what's best for them, and that's the way it should be.
3/4 @ 9:10 p.m. How about Vienna sausage for starters?
Hormel shelf stable - take your pick
I'm partial to dinty moore
Actually Dinty Moore beef stew is pretty tolerable. Much better than any canned soup made.

Lynn Fitch is one of Mississippi's most woefully incompetent public servants. "Weeeeee... I'll go to meeting all day and look like I know things"
I beg to differ, 12:20. Progresso makes some pretty darn good canned soups. Just don't forget those Vienna sausages and saltines. Saltines? Yeah, maybe stock up on some sardines too. Probably still a good supply of those in stores.
I given this some serious thought. YOU'ALL forgot the SPAM. Fried SPAM, & a can of Bush's beans. better than steak! Just not in a fall out shelter. You'll stink up the place. Pew Wee!
" Progresso makes some pretty darn good canned soups"
Agreed 1:59.
Their Tomato Basil Soup is better than anything a Jackson food truck can serve.
(Not knocking the food truck guys & gals).
3:01, I'll take the Vienna sausage over Spam, and it fries up pretty well too. As to the canned beans, one must draw the line somewhere. I can't think of those without a vivid memory of a well known scene from Blazing Saddles coming to mind.
Eating canned beans and spam...the resulting flatulence could have a sterilizing effect on all bathroom surfaces...
