Good news today from the Feds up here in Canada. They have worked with all provinces to bump up wages for all essential workers. Those currently making minimum wage in grocery stores, etc. will be bumped up considerably. Details to be worked out by provinces so no specifics yet. I've been in the corporarium since my 30's and most of those folks do not deserve the wage they pull in. Thankfully there is now a spotlight shining on the actual important work that goes on to keep our society moving along. I guess the next step is to get those union folks to not be so greedy.

I once heard a comedian talking about minimum wage. He said, more or less, minimum wage is like an employer telling you he would pay you even less, but it's against the law. :)

Stay safe and use your noggin' everyone!

Libraries could reopen in Winnipeg next month. They will have to limit occupancy to 50%. Libraries are allowed to operate under Phase one of the city's reopening plan.
Yay!

We currently have 284 cases here and 242 have recovered

Libraries and museums reopened on monday.

Finding something positive about COVID-19
Might take me a minute but I do know what you mean...
I've made myself crazy watching PBS and FOX
Rising unemployment rates and sharply falling stocks.
:eagerness:
Let's see... I don't have to put on make-up anymore!
No one cares because we all wear masks when at the store.
I don't have to clean the house (that's good 'cause it's a mess)
And I have discovered that red wine reduces stress.

I can live my life in sweatpants now... That's pretty great.
(Also, a necessity - I'm piling on the weight.)
Yet, because of quarantine, I get to skip the gym.
Mr. S. assures me that it doesn't bother him.

"So, I've got that going for me." Plus, we've got our health
Even if our mode of living has been set on stealth.
Yes, although I've had to wait for Stephen's latest book,
I guess there are good things in pandemics if you look.
:chuncky:
See, always a silver lining. :)
