    One of the reasons is staff are getting sick. Even though kids are less likely to get it, they are carriers. Adults get it. Three staff members at my school were sent home today because they were sick. We are too short staffed and things are getting worse.

    PPS is at least working to have pick up spots for breakfast and lunches for low income students.

    Probably the wrong time to say this, but what a statement on the income disparity between the players and the "hired help" that he (on a ROOKIE contract) can cover hundreds of people's salary for a month.

    It looks like this news broke yesterday, but I don’t recall seeing anything about it posted here.

    Melo must feel like he’s quarantined in Podunkville.

    On the contrary, what an amazing thing Zion to do when he probably hasn’t yet earned a $1 million after commissions and taxes. This is very generous of him.

    There are very few reasons the top 100 players cannot do this.
    There are probably 30 owners that could do a million.

    This is what I find crazy, yeah most of these guys are millionaires and I admire them for doing something, but the billionaires are the one’s who should be stepping up...

    Little Caesars Arena? What a name. Better than Moda Center I guess

    Good question. Perhaps only if they want to get paid?

    Cool for you buddy!

    I’m not sure, but I think I’m one of the few people here who are actually speaking with their checkbook.

    So unless you’ve donated $25,000 in the less 7 days, don’t ever call me selfish again.

    It was very clear from my previous posts that I was talking SPECIFICALLY about the younger crowd. You know, the people who are 2% or less likely to die.

    I acknowledged much earlier it’s worse off for old people.
