The positive aspects of Covid19

Masks mean less plucking is necessary.

Not that I have a hairy upper lip.

Fuck off.

HAHA, my wife says the same thing. That and she hasn't had to wear lipstick in months.

I figured I should focus on the positive things that have come about as a result of Covid 19.

1) I've put about 100 miles on my truck since mid February. So no gas bills, not a lot of maintenance, lower mileage on the pickup ultimately

2) I get to work from home (also a con, but I'll keep this glass half full right now) all the time

3) I get to spend time in the twilight years of my dogs (all turning 14 by the EOY)

4) I actually talk more to my family than I have in years past

5) In the past few weeks, I've come to realize that while I'm working from "home", this really means I can work from ANYWHERE that has internet. I'm spending a month in Texas visiting family this December.

6) I cook more, and I cook healthier than eating out

I'm sure there's more, but that was top of mind.

#3 is the most important.

I am not in a car 3 hours a day to commute and I am not waking up at 430AM to have to start said commute.
I see my kids more and my wife and dogs/goats/alpacas.
I am an outgoing introvert so I am living my dream of just being at home all the time and when needed/able having 1-2 people over and socializing that way

You are now obligated to post dog/goat/alpaca pics.

My wife and I have said that I think we should, for one month a year, shut everything the fuck down.

The recent "working from home" environment has aligned me with your crazy idea. I'm down.

Humankind is evolving rapidly. We're re-examining how we work, how we approach education, health care, social services, socializing, monetization, and how society operates from the ground to the top and how every member of it is as important as the other. Technology is advancing with information travelling faster than ever to keep up with our new needs. The environment is flourishing. We can see that our effect on it has been detrimental and that we don't need to pollute as much to accomplish everything we were accomplishing before the pandemic. Suddenly stimulus checks, unemployment benefits, forgivable loans, and grants are being thrown around without crashing the stock market. Universal basic income does not seem so crazy now. Its almost as if nature said to us, "Woah there! Slow it down and enjoy it."
