Why would anybody actually WANT to pump their own gas? Honest question.

It kind of doesn't make sense? Now multiple people are handling the pump. I live in Washington so it doesn't really matter to me but wouldn't it be better to have one or two people pumping gas rather than hundreds at every station?

Ballmer on Friday announced a $25 million pledge to help stem the affects of COVID-19, with $10 million earmarked for University of Washington efforts to find a vaccine. The rest of the pledge will go to local efforts in Seattle, Los Angeles and Southeast Michigan.

Was not the Governor. It was the Fire Marshal.
Rudy Owens, a spokesman for the fire marshal’s office, said the “overarching" goal behind the marshal’s decision is to prepare for a situation “where the workforce may not be able to come in or there might be closures” of stations due to the prevalence of coronavirus. In that case, the state wants to make sure critical parts of the workforce such as healthcare workers and grocery store employees can still get to their jobs.

In theory, it should result in lower gas prices. I'm sure we won't see that in practice, though. We usually have some of the higher gas prices in the country.

People getting tested is a good thing.

Originally I kind of went with the thought that everyone should be tested. Since then though I've heard a lot of what seemed like pretty arguments on both sides of this. -Test those who really need it. -Over testing creates issues too. It's an interesting discussion. I still think I lean on the side of the more data the better so test away, but there is another perspective out there that seems to have some rationality to it.

Not to mention Crude oil being priced at $21.51 a barrel.
 
On average the price of gas has dropped nationally $.17 a gallon. While the cost of oil has dropped over 300%.

It takes a while for the price reductions to work through the system.
If you owned a gas station & had to purchase your inventory (gas) at $3/gal, why would you immediately drop the price of your products until you sell through your inventory?

But of course gas prices go up instantly when someone lobs a bomb in the middle east. Sure.
 
Can you imagine NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL players wearing masks when playing? It could happen.

Was kind of thinking today, I think sports the world shutting down has been weird. I missed them for a little bit, but at this point, Ive adjusted if they never came back. Id have fun talking about the history of the games, but Id be ok without it. Found Ive got plenty of other things to do.

Well, yeah...I could survive without sports. Or without movies. Or without other humans.

But it's nice to have those things. Except other humans.
