17. It is creepy quite today

Mar 2020

here in Vegas. With the Casino's shuttered and the Schools Closed. We are near the 125k people out of work. And that trend will be increasing by the hour as Business's start to close.

It is going to get ugly real quick. Those 125k workers are mostly Paycheck to Paycheck workers like most of Nevada.

Saw first hand the Panic yesterday mid day,had to make a hot shot run to our fav Grocery. What a mess,Shelves were pretty much empty,anything shelf stable was cleaned out,couple of people had pulled the last of the back room pallets of Stock on to the floor,people just grabbed full cases off the Pallet before they could be put on the shelf. Been around the Grocery and food Service industry my whole life,this is the first time I have seen Frozen Vegetable Cases wiped out other than a mechanical breakdown. The only Frozen Cases that were not cleaned out were ready to heat and eat main dishes. When a pallet of Campbell Tomato soup(144,24 count cases) was wiped out in less than twenty minutes. The young fellow just dropped the Pallet on the end of the Isle and got the heck out of the way. Crazy.



If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
