Amazon is no longer shipping anything that is not deemed essential to Prime customers until April 21st, April 30 for everyone else

 

[Chucktshoes]

So do I. My travel papers are in my glove compartment.

My vehicle pretty much bypasses all of that. It’s very nature signifies “essential.”


*Slight tangent*

I understand that “extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures and all, but is anybody else at all bothered by the very idea of needing travel papers to move about? Regardless of how justified one may feel it is, doesn't something about cause even the smallest visceral reaction? Just a little bit of a recoil, a feeing like something’s wrong?

Travel papers are a bit disturbing. On the other hand, we live in a society where some people think the rules don’t apply to them.

is there a list of what kinds of items are not deemed essential?

No, But you can tell from the product page. For example, this screenshot is from the GRADO Gold3 product page. Everything that is not essential will show free delivery of April 22 for Prime Members at the earliest.

That may be, doesn’t change that my first instinct is to shoot a motherfucker in the face as a response to “papers please”.

Yeah because something is terribly wrong.

A. I wonder what this means in regards to my medical tape order.
B. I actually think that should be illegal (to some but not all clients)

Governor Cuomo is getting heated with his frustrations with the Federal Government.

He is making it clear New York will not sacrifice lives for the economy.

He's also calling Trump out for his emergency wartime measure to produce masks and ventilators and so on. Trump has yet to invoke it. Why? Because let's let private business handle this. They can do this better than government. The government should not be interfering with private business.

Cuomo is saying this is not working. Private business can get him 400 ventilators in 6 months. 400 and in 6 months. He needs 30,000 ventilators. And he needs them now, not in 6 months. Order companies to make them with this wartime measure that has yet to be invoked.

But theres so much to see out there! I love travelling lol!

But theres so much to see out there! I love travelling lol!

I’ve been to Italy, Germany, Kuwait, Spain, Mexico, and the Bahamas. In my old age of 41 as a truck driving parent of 3, I’m good with Florida, the gulf coast of Alabama or the mountain west for vacations. The US is plenty big enough with plenty to see. I no longer have any need to leave the country. California or the northeast is close enough for my tastes.

There has to a better process in place and hopefully some type of way to appeal. I’d rather not have to wait a month for an item I need to reduce significant pain. This is my tape’s current page, but my order still shows Friday. Guess I need to see if I can get it at the pharmacy on the way home:

 

[Nee Lewman]

It's basically just different wording for "All non-essential orders will be delayed until April 21st. Starting on the 21st we'll be prioritizing our backlog of Prime orders first and we expect that to take about 10 days."


Because letting a bunch of Democrats die for a while and then blaming local Democrats for letting it happen is a political strategy.

That wording wouldn’t raise eyebrows.

If they ship from their own facility, yes. Have done it.

Thousands of Liberty students expected to return to campus amid coronavirus outbreak | Virginia | richmond.com

Defying a national trend of campus closures, President Jerry Falwell Jr. has invited students to return to residence halls and has directed faculty members to continue to report to campus even as most classes move online.

In an interview Sunday night, Falwell said somewhere between several hundred to more than 5,000 students are expected to live in campus dorms, where they will continue coursework online rather than in classrooms.

Meanwhile, hundreds of professors and instructors without a valid health exemption will come to campus to hold office hours.

“I think we have a responsibility to our students — who paid to be here, who want to be here, who love it here — to give them the ability to be with their friends, to continue their studies, enjoy the room and board they’ve already paid for and to not interrupt their college life,” Falwell said.
