Trump supporters - if Trump keeps not listening to experts and ignoring the science around coronavirus, at what point does it become his virus?

Had a meeting today with leadership team where I got to know about layoffs at our company. They eliminated some excess roles and targeted "low performers" he assured me and my team is unaffected and there is no reason to be worried. But looking back, I went through this during peak covid time and still regret the decision that I didn't look for opportunities at that time.
Now, not sure to start looking as I hear layoff's at many firms and an expected recession around the corner. Any thoughts??

I’m back to having no billable work again. My department almost completely dried up when covid started, so I’ve been relying on work from other busy departments at my firm to keep me busy since March. I feel like I start a new job every couple of weeks and am constantly begging for work. I’m just exhausted. Can anyone else relate?

How strictly is everyone following the Covid prevention guidelines? Are you doing indoor dining?

On a lighter note than all the covid stuff, I need four new tires for my Hyundai Sonata ASAP. Where’s the best deal on a budget for tires right now? I really don’t want to drop like $600 for tires if I can get a better deal.

For anyone who got promoted to manager in previous years (pre COVID), what was your raise and AIP amount (& percentage) in promotion year?
Feel free to mention service line.

If you believed the CDC about the importance of wearing a mask and social distancing, then why do you not listen to them now?

Directly from CDC’s website:
-COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

-Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

-CDC recommends you get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.

-Many people have reported only mild side effects after COVID-19 vaccination.

7-8 years experience. Mid-level. New-ish to freelance after being laid off because of covid. What should I charge freelance hourly? Daily rate? Thank you.

Producing good work remotely
Q: Are there shops were I could make “good work” remotely?
Backgrnd: I’m a jr-ish (1yr in ad world) 4 in film. (good portfolio school+film school edu) (8 mo agency experience, 4 mo freelance in-house as the head writer at a global brand, writing US and CA assets)
.
Some agencies reached to me recently. I’ve been hesitant, but some1 on my team has COVID and I’m questioning staying where I am. Any advice about shops where I (w my experience) could make “good work”?

Just want to vent how I feel jipped by my friends - especially when it comes to trips where we book airbnbs. They back out last minute and no one else wants to cover the costs evenly when I ask. Trying to be the bigger person since some of these are unavoidable (injury and Covid and etc) but just feel shitty it’s always me who picks up the tabs. If it were me I don’t ask for my money back or at least be willing to evenly split

I assume PPP is more or less the “average” partner’s compensation (less reserves etc.). How far off do you think that is from the “mean” partner’ comp?

For example: does the top 1% of partnership take 80% of profits and the other 99% of the partners schmucks paid like senior associates? Would 5y into a partnership at a ~$3M PPP firm allow you to retire (should you so wish) with ~$5mio in the bank?

I wonder how hard Trump’s re-election campaign has to work to produce ads. All they have to do is show clips of democrats/liberals/socialists/communists doing their thing, and then a Trump/Pence logo at the end. 🤣
