    I'm not oblivious to the economic hardship and the struggle for survival for many working people. This is also a situation where we need to reevaluate the social safety net.

    This is the time to go for the general basic income, get rid of all the bureaucracy and red tape, no EI or Unemployment benefits, welfare and the lot, simplify everything, 1 citizen 1 recurring payment.

  2. A lot of people would rather the sick and elderly die in high numbers rather than suffering economically. People I know have told me they felt this way very matter of factly. I think there are ways to be creative and be innovative in keeping the economy as healthy as we can while not taking unnecessary risks with peoples health. A blanket shut down, or irresponsible opening for business are not the only two options we should have. We have a lot of great minds that can find solutions. Trouble is they dont usually run for office or work in politics I feel.

  3. Hes a part of the clubs history for sure, gotta be top ten in goals and matches played even maybe? But I get what you're saying, that his better days were not in this past decade but prior to that. Fair enough. I did not follow his career close enough to be say.

  4. Oxford University Vaccine Prevents 6 Monkeys From Contracting COVID-19

    According to The New York Times, scientists at the university administered a vaccine to six monkeys, all of whom have reportedly been COVID-19-free for 28 days, after being exposed to “heavy quantities” of the virus. It’s a hopeful sign for the vaccine, which is now going through human trials, despite a functional human vaccine still months away.

    Human trials started last Thursday, with 6,000-plus people set to receive the vaccine by the end of May.

    I really doubt Canas and Shakhov were the real reasons why he left. We will never find the real reason just like we didn't when Ivic left.

     Deep down I even think he left because he could not repeat what he had accomplished the past two seasons with the team: winning two straight doubles. CL group stage was really unattainable. Not with players such as Canas and Shakhov, so that's why I think there were other issues behind his decision. And him quitting just two days before the pre-season training put the whole season in jeopardy. 

    He states in no uncertain terms his reasons for leaving right here:

    «Ήθελα να κρατήσω έστω έναν εκ των Κάνιας και Σάκχοφ. Εξήγησα σε όλους, πως ακόμα και νέους μέσους να φέρουμε το να έχουν δίπλα τους κάποιον από την περσινή ομάδα θα ήταν καλό και για αυτούς. Οι καινούργιοι θα καταλάβαιναν τη φιλοσοφία και την τακτική, που είχε το γκρουπ. Ο Μαουρίσιο, ήταν τραυματίας, ο Μίσιτς είχε μόλις 4 μήνες στην ομάδα και δεν είχε εγκλιματιστεί τελείως.

    Η σύνδεση μεταξύ άμυνας και επίθεση είχε χαθεί. Οι παίκτες που θα έρχονταν θα έπρεπε να εγκλιματιστούν αμέσως και να είναι έτοιμοι να παίξουν σε αγώνες... φωτιά για τo Τσάμπιονς Λιγκ. Αν δούμε τους αγώνες του ΠΑΟΚ με τον Άγιαξ και τη Σλόβαν, ίσως τελικά και να είχα δίκιο... Όταν μου είπαν ότι δεν θα μείνει ούτε ο Σάκχοφ, ούτε ο Κάνιας, τότε ήταν η στιγμή που αποφάσισα πως δεν μπορώ να μείνω στο ΠΑΟΚ."

    The team had some big matches coming up that summer, and he wanted the team to keep at least one of those mids for the reason that according to him the team would lose the good chemistry it had that season and that there would be a huge loss of link up play between the back line and the forwards. 

    It is a shame really, that he would not stay and continue to build on such an unprecedentedly successful season that we have not seen in the super league at least in my lifetime. The board IMO should have given in to any demand it could to keep him, wth were they thinking I dont know. According to the interview his request was not so outlandish, he simply wanted to keep his midfield intact.

    Blackhawk if the board would not allow him to keep the very same squad that achieved all this success, then for sure he left because he could not accomplish the same results working with a lesser squad and adding the responsibilities of summer qualification to the task. I think that is what he is saying also if you read again.
