I enjoyed reading this thread

Same here. My employer closed all offices until October 1st and will revist this decision, likely extending work from home until year end. I continue to run economic impact of covid on our company results. I'm not seeing a return to pre-covid sales levels until summer of 2021, provided there's not a second wave. This will not be a v shaped recovery. I'm trying to get my arms around impact to our supply chain which I'm fearful will increase our risk profile even more. We're predicting a 22% revenue decline this fiscal year. Confidence intervals are still not great but they're improving as more post-covid data is generated. We got a new CEO yesterday, our second one in six months. We're not small, about 2bn annual. I smell a big round of lay-offs coming.

A lunar occultation of Venus in broad daylight. Surrounded by blue sky, the Moon eclipsed the second planet. "This was an extraordinary astronomical event--the first lunar occultation of Venus I have observed in 13 years," says photographer Didier Favre of Brétigny-sur-Orge, France.

Boston MA has an overtime budget of $60 million annual. Do you really believe this is only used for riots and presidental visits? I'd agree if the amount was close to the actual amount of unplanned activites but this amount is obscene. There are currently about 2,000 Boston police. This equals 30K overtime per person.

One of the best reforms possible would be to eliminate the clout of the union and make it easy to fire someone. Remove the pension and move to a standard 401K like the rest of us. Do this across all government. I bet the rest would fix itself quickly. Did you know governments budget overtime for police. That's just crazy and shows poor planning at all levels.
