(9,998 posts)I do not plan to go back to work until my Governor (CA) says that it is safe to do so.
I am not going to do ANYTHING according to Drumpf's timetable.

(90,335 posts)... CV19 lawsuits unless its put into law, 2.) it'll be like Wuhan where people go to the city exit vehicles the second largest set went to hospitals to figure out if they were asymptomatic 3.) because of the first two the economies will have "holes" that can't be plugged without big money on the state level.
Bottom line; people aren't goin to die for 15 an hour

(31,109 posts)The NBA and MLB and Ruths Chris Steaks and Denny's and McDonald's and Macys and Nordstrom and Target and whoevver etc are going to do what makes sense medically speaking if for no other reason than to not kill their customers and piss them off.
Rump has no power over this...what the tiny brained child has not figured out yet is sure, he has "martial law" type power, but it is the OPPOSITE of that which he pretends to have the power of.
Could he STOP you from going to work? arguably, but the idiot cant force you to...
Fucking dumbshit, but he has always been.

(90,335 posts)... an employer forces one to go to work and the person gets sick after being not sick at home then the company is screwed unless they are laws protecting them.
Red Don thinks he can threaten the states when he said "I have stuff they need" and shit ...
I knew a kid who hurt other kids who acted >>> JUST <<< like Trump.

(10,302 posts)Though I'm in the US and presently on medical leave at home (not Covid-19 related) Boris Johnson speaks much more sense than does Trump on any day of the week ending with "y".

(4,510 posts)is chomping at the bit to get everybody back in the office. And will do so if the governor lets up at all. An office with a total open-space concept. No cube wall, no offices. Everyone not a manager basically shares a big desk. It's a wonder the rest rooms don't have glass block partitions only.
It's one of the reasons last week I accepted a new work-from-home position with a different company.

(22,025 posts)I work with Broadway musicals and represent the writers of some classic shows and songs. The music business has undergone tremendous changes in the last decade and the income streams available to creative writers have, in many cases, dried to a trickle.
In the past, songwriters and their publishers could count on various royalties for income. These included mechanical royalties (for the sale of records, tapes and CDs), public performance royalties (for radio, TV and live performances), printed sheet music, commercial licensing, theatrical licenses (for the use of songs in stage plays) and synchronization licenses (for the use of songs in a motion picture, television show or other video-type use).
Today, the only viable income stream is the last, sync licenses. The rest of the list above has become nearly irrelevant. Music creators and their publishers have had to re-tool and re-focus their business models to adapt to this reality.
One aspect of these profound changes is that almost all of the business transactions-- from pitch through negotiation to final agreement and payment-- are done by email. It doesn't matter where the individuals are located as long as they have internet access.
My wife and I retreated from New York City to our mountain house in the Catskills over a month ago in anticipation of the self-isolating that we're all experiencing. Through good fortune, I've been able to keep working with my clients' "intellectual property rights" and continue to make good business for them. I think this is going to be a new model for this sliver of the entertainment business that I inhabit.
