One of the first carpentry crews I worked for didn't pay until the house was roughed in. I worked with a bunch of drunks @ the time, It was a 4 way split. I got paid hourly, my pay came off the top. One difficult house I made more than the partners. Man they were pissed. Lol. Bunch of diks.

Is there a consensus estimate on what percentage of Americans who get COVID are unaware?

In another forum a rider was replying to an average speed question and he replied that his average speed was higher since he got his e-bike. Seriously.
