Well hot damn, I found something with protein that I didn't have to wait in a 7 hour line to get. Of course it cost more than a real steak, but that's beside the point. At least it isn't m&Ms or potato chips.

Deez you are on wrong side of airport. Head towards A terminal. The new wing (United) is very spacious and nice. Just opened 1-2 years ago.@horninchicago , did you have to deal with the ground stop in CLT yesterday? It made us miss our flight to LHR so we're chillin' at the airport waiting on our flight tonight.
By the way CLT is a dump of an airport, but if you land there and really need a beer, there's a bar called Carolina Beer Co. (in the D gates area) that has a great altbier. It's as good as the authentic stuff I drank in Düsseldorf. Highly recommend. I even let Deez, Jr try it. He thought it was great.

Charlotte has 3-4 breweries congregated in a small area in South Charlotte. Good stuff.@horninchicago , did you have to deal with the ground stop in CLT yesterday? It made us miss our flight to LHR so we're chillin' at the airport waiting on our flight tonight.

The 3rd stimulus that has large checks for those with children continue until December.Doesn't that end next month? Of course, and I am generalizing, the people who think that amount of money per week is better than actually working won't plan ahead and get a job now.

Because the other places are shut down!Saw it. Too friggin' crowded.
I am getting $600 a month between July and December because I have 4 kids. However I make too much money to get the extra child tax credit. So instead I am getting paid “early” up to 50% of my normal tax credit. However I will have to pay this back on April 15 cause I set my allowances such that I pay a little tax every year (unlike 95% of the population). People are going to be pissed next tax season when either their normal IRS check is zero or they owe money. Biden admin performed the switcheroo that many folks aren’t aware in their 3rd stimulusThe 3rd stimulus that has large checks for those with children continue until December.
This was billed as true experiment in government minimum pay.The 3rd stimulus that has large checks for those with children continue until December.
Odd numbers on one side and even numbers on the other. They merge at end of concourse due to a cul-de-sac.Are the beers getting to me, or are these numbers messed up? Isn't it supposed to be 10, 11, 12, 13? What's with 10, 12, 13, 11?
If you say, "Deez, you're drunk and seeing this stuff backwards," that's fine. I won't take it personally. But I think I'm right on this one.

You are too accustomed to that German beer you taunted us with over the years. Safe travels.I only had three beers. Guess I'm getting weak in my old age. Lol. Taking off . . . I'll be back after I cross the pond.

Same here but I was too lazy to exempt. I will pay out of my Feb bonus, which will be huge as we are killing it at work.After I received the first check I opted out. Both my wife and I had to do it to make it official. I worked for 4 months to get my excemptions to the right level for me and the tax credits would have meant I owed a lot at the end.
The argument would be that you can be covid positive for (I think) 5-7 days before testing positive. So, that 72 hour testing thing doesn't mean much. Some will tell you that asymptomatic spread isn't a thing. I will say that contact tracing has established that, in fact, positive/no symptom patients can spread the disease.So I'm in London now, and after my beer buzz wore off my brain returned to the topic at hand. I've generally been ok with mask requirements and people obeying them. However, it occurred to me that we have good reason to believe that mask requirements will never go away. Here's why.
We flew from Charlotte, NC to London. As a condition of getting on the plane, every adult had to present proof of a negative Covid test that had to measure up to UK standards in the previous 72 hours, regardless of vaccination status. If any public setting is safe from Covid, this is it. Despite that, there was a vigorously enforced mask mandate for the duration of the flight. If an aircraft in which everyone has tested negative is too dangerous, then what scenario wouldn't be too dangerous? This sort of thing is how you get mask cynics.

Flying is obviously more dangerous and could cause more spreading than, most likely, unvaccinated illegals pouring over the border every day.So I'm in London now, and after my beer buzz wore off my brain returned to the topic at hand.

True.So, that 72 hour testing thing doesn't mean much.
