[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was nice to see all the parents with 2020 vehicles, Mercedes, and Porsche etc. picking up their chromebooks..  :roll: [/quote]

This is what I saw at the elementary school across the street.[/quote]

FU.  There are plenty of parents with nice cars who have lost their jobs or been sent home for 2 or more weeks without any idea if their business is coming back -- dentists, hairdressers, orthodontists, restaurant owners, stock brokers, etc.  A nice car has no relationship to current income, so please stop shaming!

I don't have a nice car, but my income has also disappeared.  I have one very old laptop for myself for the little work I am able to maintain.  My college DC has one laptop to maintain a link with university.  There is no schedule for university classes, it varies week to week.  I picked up a chrome book for my other DC.  Stop shaming people about it.  There will, undoubtedly, be assignments and classwork and really work among all three of us which will require us to be online all at once.  Add to that all the time I spend online reading about COVID and figuring out testing, home sanitation, etc. so I can keep the people in my family who are sick with COVID from getting sicker and the people in my family who are well from getting sick.

I'm just so sick already of the shaming.  You have no idea what people are dealing with.  Illness, income loss, risk factors, etc.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.  [/quote]
