Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

I have dear friend on the forum who has informed me to keep him and his wifey in my thoughts and prayers. The wife has had the Corona now for a few days. News is coming in quickly and I dont want to scare any of you. This flu virus is real, that's for sure. I do know this guy's wife to be in excellent shape, so I'm curious to hear how she did. Hubby, looks good to me but I dont know what he actually stuffs his face with all day and I have no glue if he drinks himself to sleep with pills every night. I have encouraged him to give us real play by play. I told him to start a new thread. "Life with Corona in the household in socal."

It is not a tax cut and most companies that I know of are not going to have their employees get stuck with a bill for unpaid payroll taxes after the first of the year. By the way people that have jobs don't need a payroll tax cut. Especially one that will defund social security and medicare and screw over our parents and grandparents.

Shhhhh! Let them think they’re getting a tax break until they get hit with the bill in 2021.

I‘m sure it has not gone unnoticed that the same people who whined about the non-existent death panels are now clambering to kill grandma with C19, but if that doesn’t work at least take away their medicare and social security.

Is youth soccer really that important? My kid is a pro soccer player and her internship with the Daschle group is more important to her than her soccer career and that is a fact.

When your kid is 15 it is to them. Remember when you were in HS Playing ball. All the scout talking you up and you lived and breathed the game? Now imagine if it was all taken away...you could do some strength, speed and agility training on your own, but now contact practice, no team drills etc. yet all your friends you met at this camp or that camp were playing, training and celebrating their games.

After 6 months, it gets into the psyche.

Your DD is a whole different situation and you can’t compare and adults ability to manage these things (especially when she has something else like an internship) to a 15Yr old Sophmore in Hs.

Yes, I know. Please keep it within the context of the reason it was presented. I’m doing everything I can to keep my employees from getting hit by this payback in this cut.

The “cut” is meant as a stimulus I’ll advised or not.

Excellent question. I wonder what the great Maps would have done as a Jr or Sr stud in HS? I would be so depressed, mad, sad, angry and I would have just quit school. No books for this guy. I dont read books, ever!!! Boring for me.

Thats easy for you to say since your kid didnt have to go through a situation like this. shes already gone through youth soccer and reached the pinnacle of her soccer career. You might have sung a different tune if this hit during her formative years as a soccer player.
 
The vaccine is already in Russia. The issue now is when it will arrive at our shores from Russia.

100% agree with this. 100%. Make that 1000%. We are training and while it hurts to not play games in anger, the kids are making do. Kids are resilient as all hell, the past six months have shown that to me plain as day.

Can I x this by a million? My DD has a solid group of friends and we get together at parks-they do drills, speed & agility, have sessions with a trainer, etc. The whole socially distanced practices suck-but, they stick them out and do other things.
 
Yup. I agree with above and actually can see marked improvement in my kid’s ball skills thanks to five month’s focus on training rather than open practice scrimmages. Of course she’s itching to play but is making the best of this otherwise lousy situation.

How exactly are you doing everything you can to keep your employees “from getting hit by this payback in this cut”? Prayer?

How is lying that it is a tax break “in the context of the reason it was presented”?

I’ve asked you this before. You brought out your alter ego. Is this the ID, Ego or Super Ego? Because it’s impossible to recognize which one.

LA County Jobs Data Mixes Good News With Bad - Los Angeles Business Journal

The snapshot of L.A.’s economy in July was a good news, bad news story.First, the good news from the state Employment Development Department: Los

Like I said before...the unemployment numbers are as of the end of July. The big payout to low income earners ended July 25. Unemployment numbers for August will come out in a couple of weeks. You will most likely see a decline in the unemployment rate because the big payout stopped July 25.

I read a very interesting article by Deloitte today that discussed the changes that are most likely to result for years to come as a result of COVID that will hurt us initially but is projected to make us better in the long run. Hospitality is going to be hit hard for years to come because the decrease in business travel and people being forced to use various media apps. such as Zoom to conduct business etc. There are going to be all kinds of changes in how business is done that started because of COVID but will continue as a result of it such as, improvements in productivity, less of a need for office space and travel requirements to conduct business not necessary. It may even come to the point you can live in a less expensive area in the nation and work for a company in another state.

Going back to my original point, we are in recovery mode and as long as the COVID numbers continue to decline, we will continue in recovery mode.

Excellent question and I love the curiosity. I also want to say sorry to you for being egotistical with you in the past. I have to be honest and say It's mix bag of super alter and super galaxy ego plus some kindness. My ego wants to feel that it's helping other parents avoid the pitfalls my dd and I went through. The last three years, you could not make up. I look back and feel like a real man for staying true to my core. It was the hardest three years of my life.

There yah go making up an argument...for one you can educate your employees on the realities and help them tax plan as well as offer other withholding options we are exploring.

Go back to the context it was framed in....a stimulus. Keepermom2 and I were having a perfectly good debate without you.

Respect your opinion and I don’t think we are too far off from one another. I just think unemployment will get worse before it gets better.

Help them tax plan? You mean by telling them you’ll be withholding at 2x their normal tax rate beginning in January? What are those “other withholding options” that you’re “exploring”?

My god, you’re going to make your employees do this and pitch it to them as a financial benefit, aren’t you?
