Covid-19 and taking social responsibility

Yep. The changes Starbucks made can’t just be applied to a place that’s self serve. Touching handles, screens, and lids and they were worried about our cups which they never touched. They handle cash from other people, touch items to scan them, and then want to touch mine.

I get the large cup with just a small coffee; no lid needed, and hold my items up to get scanned. Doesn’t prevent all the vectors but I try to limit what I can.

 

That can of soup needs aluminum.

I bring aluminum to the beer brewery from Kentucky some mornings in Williamsburg VA at the Busch there. Thsoe three coils is usually consumed in about 7 hours roughly. They had several can stamp machines going. One building lids another stamping can bodies and so on. Stamp approximately 170 can assemblies twice a second. Thump thump. Munch on the fresh coil. stomp, thump munch.

Ive been told by the staff on the docks that we are struggling to keep up with the midatlantic and their beer can drinking habits. They need all the aluminum they can get.

I generally do not think that high, however the idea that I pick up a can of soup today for 1.50 causes a butterfly to flap in Kentucky with a coil order immediately to Cambells for Cans. Or to a third party can maker for Cambells.

 

The machine that cans soup may need metal. Like I said very complex system

 

Its awesome aint it?

I don't claim to know anything. However if the dock people took a minute to teach me about whats doing with those coils or whatever alls well.

There is one particular factory in central North Carolina that makes nuts, bolts, washers and so on. All sorts. Thousands of different kinds.

I saw a very old worker outside at the picknick table sorting bolts. I asked him what about all those bolts in that building through the bay doors (Mounds of bolts being sorted) He started giving me everything he possessed in his mind by words and story telling. Approximately 65 years worth of nuts, bolts and washers. The metals they are made from, the strengths that they are rated for, what they can do best at what application and what they do worst at other things when used badly and so on so forth ect.

Took a little over two hours in that hot sun and sand to take all that in. It was quite a education. I cannot go into a old fashioned hardware store with bins of bolts and so on without remembering from this one what each are for.

 

And the guy making the machine needs his weed and liquor .

 

And the bossman that pays the guy to run the machine needs his bodies for labor and his money for the trouble.

 

And the weed man needs a new growers light and extension cord

 

And all of the previously mentioned workers will be invited to snip buds off Weed plants for a share of the plant in profits or wages. Same as cash.

 

Stopping the economy basically is a bad choices also. Is the virus really that bad ?. We just went in debt another 6 Trillion and we are going to send people checks. That's crazy, so we now owe like 27 trillion. I guess 4 trillion of the 6 will be paid back because it for saving companies. People won't have a job or anything to come back to if we don't watch out
