So BIden's son is on the board of a CHINESE company.

And he has been soft on China. 

People are pissed off at China.

I am growing a potted "Bush Early Girl"  tomato plant in my bathroom.

Is that wrong?

Depends on how you are watering it.

Well, proper soil is important too, ya know.

(Seriously, the bathroom has a south-facing,  6 by 4 ft window. A hothouse in a week or two).

Work from home officially extended to Oct 2. for my company.

I wonder if they're going to look at reducing their real estate footprint.

They occupy 16 square blocks downtown Seattle with half a dozen other building scattered around.

They just bought a block in Bellevue and plan 3 towers. They own another building and just started a long term lease on a 16 story tower.

Good grief. 

Yeah, i think there's a motive here beyond "flattening the curve, yada yada".

Did they specify the year?

Considering Seattle's constant threats to impose outlandish fees and taxes on your company only, they'd be crazy not to move their operations outside the city.

There is another factor. A major bridge in Seattle is closed. Lack of maintenance.

It adds half to a full hour to the commute into downtown or over to Bellevue.
