  1. All it would require for Aqua is a severance of a few thousand dollars to avoid wrongful termination if he can even get that as it is hard to imagine being an anthem singer is his full time gig. So really wrongful termination does not even a concern here for Aqua. A company can fire anyone they want for speaking their mind or any reason as long as they are willing to pay the severance for full time employees or contract termination fees.
  2. Lol, Donnelly don't even have a wrongful termination case. As an anthem singer if he is even a full time employee of the Canucks, all it would cost Aqua is a few thousand buck of severance. Don't even think you can even claim wrongful termination in regards to a side gig or part time job.
  3. Pretty damn sure Donnelly is not a employee of the Canucks. He might get a contract severance pay if he even have a contract to begin with.
  4. It is all nice sentiments until you or your love one catches it and either die or become chronically ill. You can worry about the future all you want but we live in the now and what good is a robust economy to you if you catch this and die. That said, we shouldn't just shut everything down and should find a compromise. The easiest one we have is a mask mandate that if everyone obeys, will allow us to still have a functional economy minus the bar owners, they are f**ked. Taiwan never went into a lockdown and nearly everyone wore a mask there and see how well they are doing with regards to the economy and covid numbers. Also you are confusing freedom of speech from directives and rights of private businesses. You can still speak freely about not wanting to where a mask and the government will not do anything to you, but if you do not wear a mask when mandated, the government has every right to fine you for it just like not stopping at a red light. The government is also working off of scientific consensus here, I personally would defer to the majority in this case than a few voices. Also private business can require whatever they want in their term of service or terminate someone's employment for any reason not based on race, sex, or political leanings. Yes chances are it is going to get a lot of people with or without a vaccine especially with the anti-vaxxers but you want to delay 80% of people getting it as long as possible to either have this thing devolve to something harmless or have effective treatment against it.
  5. Dude chances are the Canucks don't have him as an employee or contractor. He probably gets called by the team every so often to come in and sing and paid per performance. Pretty much this is Aqua just signaling he won't give him a call anymore, which is fine to do in a tweet cause he ain't getting much of these calls the last two year anyways. Also not gonna be surprised if he finds it hard to breath with a mask so understand why he might not want to wear one.
  6. Sweden has been a disaster if you bother to look into it. Also when it comes to science, it is the consensus among the wide majority of doctors and scientists that rule the day. Just because you hear one or two differing opinions does not invalidate the opinion of the vast majority of professionals. You can always find a dissenting voice in any profession with merits if you look hard enough. Also not all published studies actually have good science or methodology behind them especially with the degrading of scholarly journal standards these days with small publishers. If it ain't Science or Nature, never take them at their words.
  7. The whole point of the mask working is that it protects other from you, not the other way around. If your focus is that mask don't work to protect the person wearing than sure, you can find a good number of studies showing that. But there is consensus that masks prevent the spreading of germs and virus from you to other people. That is why doctors orders you to wear a mask while in a clinic for a cold or flu way before Covid is a thing. It is to prevent you from spreading what you got to other people. That is why anti makers are putting everyone at risk. This is not a personal freedom thing that you can live with the consequences without affecting others, it is directly affecting other and their right to life! Just loom at countries with near total adoption of mask wearing like Taiwan, they barely even have an outbreak let along a second and third wave. The sooner everyone starts wearing them in public the sonner we can get pass this and go back to normal. Otherwise this is just going to drag on and on until a vaccine is widely available and have high adoption rate which is an whole other issue with the anti-vaxxers.
  8. I mean it ain't even a firing. Pretty sure anthem singers are gig work that is paid per performance rather than on a contract or on a salary.
  9. TBH, Canucks haven't been using him much the last two seasons anyways.
  10. Haven't you heard? Breaking international law is in style these days. Just go ask the U.K and U.S.
  11. Any recommended books? Think it is high time for me to educate myself a bit more about the market.
  12. You can never defeat the scalper bots that clog up the network. Just wait till spring. Not like there are any mast have exclusives for ps5 or xbox.
  13. Biden has already stated that he won't reverse any of Trump's actions regarding China at least not straight away. Also, this was passed by congress so nothing really Biden can do unless congress revoke it.
  14. So essentially these Chinese stocks are just zombies for the next three years. Damn, should have sold all of NIO today.
  15. Not the first time a stock plummets after a short seller comes out and say a stock they shorted is overpriced. Learned my lesson with enphase. I'll give a week or two before panicking.
  16. Man did NIO and the other Chinese ev took a beating today.
  17. Nah, bought some yesterday. I mean, if there is a upward wave, why not ride it?
  18. Although I don't approve of their big brother product, I am more than happy to ride the wave.
  19. Want to get in. Waiting on an entry point. Let's see if there is a sell off due to 'holiday'.
  20. Yeah, no way investor is going to let these stock hang on a high point for the thanksgiving holidays. Probably a good time to sell tomorrow morning and get back in next Monday.
