There are ~470 stores outside of China. There are thousands of retailers of Apple products. Apple products and services will still be available

So I received my first ever Texags ban for evidently something I posted on this thread. Kind of surprised because I thought my comments were pretty tame.

Can someone enlighten me as to what I did that merited my first ban?

Thanks and stay healthy.

Oh and I was told by the mod I called someone a "drama queen" and can find no evidence of me doing that.

Weird

I got a 24 the other day for mentioning Darwin....

Welcome to the club!! Usually a weekly occurrence for me. The mods new favorite term is "ad hominem" according to the email I got most recently.

At least they could get my actual posts right? Or is that asking too much.

Seriously reconsidering my Varsity membership.

Did you respond to the e-mail?

Ask them which post violated the rules and you'll (usually) get a reply with it.

That said, this is why it is better to just not mention anyone by name. The people who want only doomsday posts on here love to flag anyone who doesn't go along with it, or calls out the hysteria. Heck, one of them regularly tells people to not post on this thread, as if he owns it.

According to a teacher friend the Commissioner has suspended STAAR testing for April, so that may help explain why so many districts are willingly going on two week spring breaks.
Hopefully, this will be one of many examples where we realize....we didn't need that so let's stop doing it altogether.

Apple is not immune to this virus. They have a **** ton of cash on hand to weather the storm but it's always easier when you reduce your labor costs. 400 stores x 100 employees each, no paychecks for a week. Nice savings.....

Don't forget about their supply chain.....Missing a button or any other component and the final product can't ship.

Fair enough and I have pissed off my share of people over the years but at least my words correct if I am going to receive my first ban.

If I am going to be banned I at least want to enjoy what I posted to tick someone off.

How petty people have become.

From the article...
In addition, all hourly workers will "continue to receive pay in alignment with business as usual operations."

Their supply chain is already damn near back to normal...like most other manufacturing in Asia

You didn't call anyone specifically a drama queen, it was just said in general (atleast it didn't seem to be dorectly aimed) -- I didn't think it was offensive. I thought the conversation was actually quite interesting... shame it got removed.

Thanks. I know I can be an ahole but I generally know when I am one. I do not remember anything I posted that reached the ahole level.

I am going to discuss this with my Varsity brethren.

No but it would be about 100k new infections per day, and 100-200 deaths per day

Thanks. I knew I had not specifically called out anybody for being a drama queen because I would have remembered that.

Did I hear Gov Abbott correctly yesterday - the entire state of Texas can give out 273 tests per day? Does that include Quest, LabCorp, etc? Seems woefully inadequate.




Houston has only performed 600 tests TO DATE. Absolutely inadequate.

Uhhh... I've been sharing first hand accounts of my own business operations in mainland China and Hong Kong, secondhand reports from my direct reports and friends in China, and data I've found on twitter and in the news. But whatever makes you feel better at night.

Sorry I'm not stepping in line with this is the end and we're all gonna die

You signed up 16 months ago, and your first post is to attack someone because you don't like what they have to say.
