That jobs report is mostly bad news.

I think Delk wants us to believe that Amazon delivery and uberEats consistently adding jobs is a good thing

Welp...

This thread is horrifying. Sorry to break up the mood but *this* is what Black Trump supporters are voting for. The VRA needs to be protected and restored, and I really hope a Biden admin expands the courts. SMH.

They already had an aggressive as **** timeline to confirm their nominee...I can't fathom how working remote and the like lets them maintain this speed....

Some of my favourite stores prior to the pandemic are visibly gone altogether.

May one of you give a brief explanation as to how this is legal? Mind you WWE talent have been labeled "independent contractors" by this... pretty much monopoly:

Exclusive: WWE Taking Over Talents' Twitch Accounts In Four Weeks

Wrestling Inc. has learned that Vince McMahon sent an email to talent this week reminding them that they have until this Friday, October 2nd, to…

www.wrestlinginc.com

"Wrestling Inc. has also learned that talent were told this week that the company will be taking control of their Twitch accounts in four weeks. WWE will own those accounts, however talent will receive a percentage of the revenue, which counts against their downside guarantees."

That's the definition of a social contact - so those involved all need to be quarantine for 14 days. Anything else is irresponsible.

I need St*ph*n Mill*r’s breath to cease.

Do not want Trump to die. Hope he has severe symptoms but recovers. I need to see this POS lose and then suffer the embarrassment of going to prison. Death wouldn’t be satisfying.

I hope Biden doesn’t have it, that would be really ****ed up.

this honestly. let’s shoot for paralysis or just something to incapacitate him for the foreseeable future (read: til he dies).

Sounds like a WWE 360 deal.

haha. i mean come on...tweets and videos

One of the most pathetic moments in US history is when a dude who had 0 political experience won 40mil+ votes when his campaign strategy was doing bad stand-up comedy at all his speeches

Def tuning into twitter during this two week quarantine.... Assuming they'll actually quarantine him.

Real talk I'm not sure I'm convinced of this. Bet he'll give hourly twitter updates talking about covid ain't **** and that he's fine to gas up covid deniers and attack mail in voting. He'll say covid isn't that bad and that the left are trying to scare people into not voting in person to "steal the election"... too simple of a play imo.

Man these ppl pay for their hotels, rental cars, healthcare, injuries, etc. This is just trash.

But the that's the thing, someone like an AJ Styles isn't theirs. They use his name, they use his logo. And when these ppl are making their twitches & youtube channel they use their on names. I'm just not understanding, Xaiver Woods twitch handle "AustinCreed" so how can they own that?
