Dick’s Sporting Goods To Furlough
“Most” Of Their Workers

Original Article

Posted By: ussjimmycarter, 4/10/2020 7:27:15 AM

It looks like the pandemic and the social distancing, stay at home rules are claiming another victim. Dick’s Sporting Goods has announced that they will be sending the majority of their workers home on furlough. Employees will still be able to keep their employee benefits during this period, however, which is at least somewhat generous of them. A limited number of workers will be kept active on the payroll to handle curbside delivery purchases and fill online orders. Other than that, however, it will be mostly lights out until the economy is turned back on.

Hobby Lobby is on hiatus too. Don't know how much longer this can go on. I am laid off for the next 2 weeks as well.

Wow. I thought guns and ammo sales at sporting goods stores might help them weather the storm. Wait, Dicks doesn't sell guns? Then why do they say they are a sporting goods store and not an outdoor themed over-priced clothing store?

Employers know how tough it is to find good workers these days, and are avoiding outright layoffs. When the economy comes roaring back they'll be competing for workers. Let's hope employers throw some bonuses to the workers to thank them for their loyalty through this ordeal.

Dick's identifies as non-essential. I'll always remember you as Walmart goods at Cabela's prices.

Dicks is a horrible store that sells poor quality goods at inflated prices. They are going the way of Kmart. The Wuhan flu is just what (hopefully) breaks their back.

It's hard not to sense a little karma payback in this. Must resist the temptation to say it serves them right, though -- indulging the urge to whip out the Schadenfreude is kind of like shooting at somebody before you notice the gun's pointed backwards.

I wonder if there's a correlation between their cessation of gun sales and losing a large customer base?

SF Examiner editorial board demands Pope

The San Francisco Examiner's editorial board wrote a scathing rebuke of the city’s archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone, after he announced he would deny Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Holy Communion, over her staunch support for abortion. (snip) In response, the liberal editorial board blasted the Catholic leader for "punishing" Pelosi, instead of "right-wing politicians" who "[vote] against health care or funding for the poor." They defended Pelosi as a leader who has "consistently fought on the morally right side of these issues," and praised her as a role model for women. The editorial board argued that by denying Pelosi Holy Communion, the archbishop wasn’t being loyal to Christ.

With hysteria ramping up as cases of the rare monkeypox virus keep popping up in multiple countries, President Joe Biden made his first public comments on the disease which could conceivably usher in a sequel to the mandates and restrictions that were imposed during the COVID pandemic. The press caught up with the “leader” of the free world who is visiting South Korea on his first trip to Asia since taking office and asked Biden for his input on whether the monkeypox cases in Europe and the U.S. were something “to be concerned about” “Well they haven’t told me the level of exposure yet but it is something that

It’s time to drop the words “fake news,” “hoax,” and any other descriptor short of blatant and purposeful lies, in reference to Hillary Clinton’s engineering, oversight, and final approval of releasing to the sock-puppet media a preposterous fairy tale that even the worst of armchair sleuths could spot as complete bullcrap. Why do I make such a “bold” statement? When even the Wall Street Journal editorial board publishes a blistering editorial titled Hillary Clinton Did It, in which it calls Clinton’s lies a “dirty trick for the ages,” that is newsworthy.

For regular readers of this site, today’s news will likely not come as a surprise, but much of the nation seems to remain unaware of it. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has released its latest reliability assessment for the summer of 2022 and, to put it mildly, the news is not good. In far too many states, the power grid is already nearly at full capacity, and in the next few months, that capacity will be exceeded. This isn’t a question of “if” or really even “when.” It’s just a fact. Industry experts know this and have been trying to sound the alarm for several years.

Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson are among those departing from “Saturday Night Live,” leaving the sketch institution without arguably its two most famous names after Saturday’s 47th season finale. Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney will also leave the cast after the episode hosted by Natasha Lyonne. The departures represent one of the biggest cast shake-ups in years on a show that has seen unusual steadiness in recent seasons. McKinnon, 38, won two Emmys and was nominated for nine in her 10 seasons on the show, during which her impressions included Hillary Clinton, and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.  CORRECTION*

These people will get us all killed. Mitt Romney called on our NATO allies to prepare for a nuclear strike from Russia. The US has already invested tens of billions of dollars in military weapons to Ukraine. The New York Post reported: The US and its NATO allies should prepare a “devastating” response to potential Russian nuclear action, Sen. Mitt Romney said on Saturday. The call to action comes on the heels of threats from the Kremlin and warnings from Russian diplomats that the country’s Ukraine invasion could lead to a nuclear strike, the Utah Republican wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times.

Disbelief. That was the emotion elicited from watching Woods bogey five consecutive holes (the first time he ever has done that in a major championship as a professional) en route to 10-over for his third round through 13 holes.Sadness.That was the emotion that gripped you while watching Woods limp so badly

More than 70,000 pounds of baby formula arrived in the United States on Sunday via military aircraft, President Joe Biden announced, as his top economics adviser pledged stores could see replenished supplies 'as early as this week.' The shipment from the US military's Ramstein Air Base in Germany is the first in Biden's Operation Fly Formula program, aimed at ramping up international imports of baby formula to raise US supply. It's one of several measures the president unveiled to mitigate the increasingly dire baby formula shortage that's plaguing Americans nationwide - which has already led to multiple reports of hospitalized children.
