Sorry about Your Luck Pal

Good Morning Blogheads !

Hey if you get a minute go on YouTube and look up a movie called " Trailer park shark", I understand that's the only place where it's at and it has a friend of mine in it. I don't have any idea as to it cinematic value or the storyline I thought it would be cool to  promote something that somebody else has done, that I know. I have no idea if she is even proud of it. I'm going to take a minute and look at it after while.

I was scanning through the happenings on a couple of news sites this morning and the theme for today is "Sorry about your luck pal", as I'm reading about insurance companies that cover business losses when they have an interruption of their business, that have had the foresight to write into their coverages a condition that says will cover you for loss of business except in case of your business being interrupted by viruses or bacteria. I have no idea how in the hell they figured out that they needed to exclude that, however it is amazing how insurance companies make more money than most other companies (one company makes more money than most other companies combined) and they figure out a way to not pay claims continuously,  so amazing.

Anyway here's my top 5 for today.

1. The National Enquirer reportedly is cutting their payroll by 23% with the stated intention of doing so in order to not have to lay people off. Apparently that includes all of the AMI company publications, or at least 9 of them as the way I understand it. This takes effect somewhere around April the first and they are calling it the death knell of that company. Not to be political but just to refresh your memory this is the company where the CEO or the president was chummy with President Trump and did the old capture and kill on stories that were negative about the him. Supposedly they had a whole safe full of bad stories he didn't want published.  In their heyday at the height of their history they had over 4,000,000 in circulated readers now it's somewhere South less than 100,000. Sorry about Your Luck Pal
2. Like I was saying before,  business interruption insurance is an insurance policy sold by insurance companies supposedly to cover businesses, I guess when they lose revenue due to unforeseen circumstances with the most common ones being things like fire and etc. It's supposed to replace income after a covered loss and just about every small business owner assumed that something like the coronavirus would be a covered loss. OOPS Not really, um  yeah, in about 2006 (because of the other bugs are hanging around like the swine flu and E coli in the bird flu and all those) they put a rider on all those policies excluding coverage because of viruses or bacteria although they didn't really publicize that they were excluding coverage for that. It seems like they are actually in the business of collecting money or premiums and denying claims . That's how they do business, although their marketing indicates that they collect premiums and pay claims. Seem like there is a big assed disconnect there somewhere. Sorry about Your Luck Pal
3. Also in the news this morning is the daily dose of facts and figures that say the death toll has passed over the 2,000 mark. Also I found out that one of my cousins is in the hospital in Indianapolis with this virus. CRAP. I am praying for him, he doesn't deserve it, he's a great guy, Husband and father. I hope he gets well soon. The governor of California Mr. Newsom reports this morning that 170 ventilators that were sent  to California by FEMA , DON"T WORK. Can you believe this crap? So they loaded all of them into trucks and vans and took them right to a repair shop that is fixing them supposedly as we read this. Amazing. Incredible. Idiotic. Supposedly also things like Evictions, utility cut offs and etc are going to banned through the end of May. On June 1st ? You guessed it, Sorry about Your Luck Pal
4. The NRA and other groups are in the process of suing California, Gov. Newsom and other elected officials over closing Gun stores and declaring the non essential businesses, meanwhile the Industry is projecting that by May 15th, the USA will be out of condoms. Allegedly this is due to manufacturers being retasked to make PPE like gloves and etc. I guess sex toys are next and we are screwed in more ways than one. Sorry about Your Luck Pal
5. Here is a good one. My prediction is that this one will create a true american incident and somebody is gonna lose their mind over this and come back to work with a huge handgun and a lot of ammo. Apparently a few employers are thinking that because their employees (I dont know who, the reporting is sketchy about this) are going to receive stimulus checks, they can deduct the amount from the pay they are due, thereby reducing their payroll costs and saving money. I would not want to be a supervisor at one of these places if they do. Holy Frijole` , that's goona be UUUUUgly! Sorry about Your Luck Pal

Ya'll have a great Day,
