I’ve seen a lot of people complain about government response and handling of the coronavirus outbreak. But the people who are complaining, are the ones who weren’t prepared.

Anheuser-Busch says that it will produce hand sanitizer to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. I don’t mind them doing the right thing, but I mind it when they constantly pat themselves on the back for it.

I saw someone post online that they did something without any desire for recognition. That seems entirely contradictory.

A lot of people have been asking to work remotely, but during the Coronavirus pandemic, now is your chance to prove that you can do it.

I know that everyone has a natural sense of fairness. However, when an emergency rears its ugly head, trying to stop price gouging may feel good but has deleterious effects.

Man, the media really wants you to fear coronavirus. As far as I can tell, it seems like all you can do is take simple precautions to protect yourself, and let it run its course. Even if you get it, recovery seems to be pretty likely.

I love side hustles. My YouTube channel and this podcast are my side hustles. So I love discussing side hustles with various people and giving them some tips. But I was listening to someone describe their side hustle, and I’m pretty sure it’s the worst one I’ve ever heard of.

I saw that President Trump does not want the new version of Air Force One to have inflight refueling capabilities to save money. I think that makes a lot of sense.
