Austin97 is correct about the “hoax” Propaganda story. The continued media characterization of what he actually said is a disgrace to the journalism profession.
Of course DJT says enough outrageous stuff on his own that they shouldn’t have to make up fiction.

Anyway, good luck N4Camaro...... this town is one of the best places you can be to find your line of work, pandemic/recession notwithstanding.

My nephew’s wife is fixin’ to retire from IBM later this year. She was the leader of the team that helped develop their Watson AI program.

At the time there was barely any coronavirus impact and dems were attacking trump for it. He was calling the democrat attacks the next hoax.

The 2nd amendment infringements are an issue. For example in california they have shut down gun stores as "non essential", but marijuana (still illegal at the federal level) is considered to be essential.

California has their priorities bass ackwards with their infringement of the 2nd. They should be run out of office with their false platitudes.
The weed? Maybe the constituents need it to put up with their politicians’ stupidity.

Small world. I was within the Watson lab.

Yes, we can analyze what trump says ad infinitum since he has been in office and we can all agree when he says something he really didn't say what he said or he really didn't mean what he said, or we're "twisting" it, and journalists are a disgrace, and it's the second amendment and they* are going to come and take all your guns, and, and, and..
Ugh, I see Austin97 you are very interested in what I say. You must be very bored.

*whoever "they" are

Well, “they”certainly have curtailed some basic freedoms, haven’t “they”?

Good luck! I had two interviews for a job and just heard yesterday that they want to do a third. Fingers crossed!

I have the same freedom I had before this started. Are there police stopping me from going into the grocery store and coughing all over everyone and everything? Nope. From the looks of it people still have the freedom to do as they please, corona virus or not. The choice to go out in crowds knowing the whole time they could be asymptomatic is exercising their freedom of choice, (I guess). You still have the right to infect. YAY for our freedoms! It's all so bazaar. Just remember when you're out in the parks today to practice social distancing, (while your panting and running and spraying everyone you go by with your spittle). What a joke. What part of this don't people understand when the top doctor says, "this virus is highly contagious".

It's like the comment I read from someone in regards to opening the beaches...they said, "people are dying to get to the beach". If it wasn't so tragic it would be laughable.

Heh, one of my buddies who lives by a private club golf course (now ordered closed) in a Detroit suburb got cabin fever, so he snuck out early Saturday morning to drive a few golf balls and do some putting practice right behind his house.
He said about 15 minutes into it he heard a helicopter approaching, so he ran into a grove of trees. Sure enough, it was the local police chopper looking for scofflaw criminals like him.

My in-laws can still play golf (out near Wimberley), but the flags are removed from the greens, the rakes are removed from the traps, and the holes are filled with a 'foam' so that the ball is easily accessible without touching the sides of the hole. Of course, you are not going to hit a hard shot and get it to stay .

Can’t wait to hear about a toddler being arrested for getting on a swing at the neighborhood park. Lol
