Robinhood, eToro, and Raging Bull Trading Report Millennials Are Spending Their Stimulus Check on Online Stocks

Would you invest your Stimulus into retirement savings or stocks? 

I know Marissa Pitts will be investing in BOTOX! aha 

In an article from CNBC titled: Millennials Are Piling into Stock Trading to Beat the Market. Here’s What You Need to Know by Karen Gilchrist. 

As travel plans this Summer are being canceled – Millennials are jumping into the stock market through online stock trading platforms. 

Investing app Robinhood saw record deposits in the first quarter of 2020 with daily trades up 300%.  Elsewhere – eToro and Raging Bull Trading saw demand surge 220% and 158% respectively. 

Millennials – I understand that everyone is trying to make some extra cash during these tough times – BUT – be smart with how you handle your money! 

Ben Reeves, Chief Investment Officer at Wealthsimple told CNBC Make It:  

“Millennials should be leaving their money into something boring like your retirement fund.” 

Raging Bull Trading founder Jeff Bishop states that Millennials should be trying to establish an amount they want to make each month before investing in stocks.

PORNHUB is FREE and OnlyFans, CamSoda Girls Struggle With COVID-19 Demands

PORNHUB is FREE and OnlyFans, CamSoda Girls Struggle With COVID-19 Demands

I don’t know about you—but when I hear the words “FREE-FIFTY-FREE” – it is music to my ears!   

Granted—there is usually a catch—but if you go in knowing the limit you plan to spend (IF ANY) the experience is usually fabulous!  

And, during the Quarantine we are seeing lots of people offering FREE services. 

The two most popular ones are Virtual Workouts and PORNHUB.  

And, while these services sound like a Lockdown Luxury.  Professional Fitness and Sex Workers have all but killed their bills and dildos.  

And don’t just take my word for it.   

VICE went undercover with a feature titled: “Cam Girls Can Barely Keep Up with Quarantine Demand” by Maxine Delcourt.  

My favorite line in the article was "I can't just spend the whole month dildo-ing myself.” The demand for FREE PORN is so huge—these girls can’t keep up!  

And—on the other end of the spectrum. 

In an article from BUZZFEED titled: “The Fitness Industry Is in A Crisis. Some Trainers Say Those Trendy Instagram Live Workouts Aren't Helping” by Stephanie McNeal.  

Too many clients are asking their trainers to offer FREE services since “everyone else is.” However — FREE don’t pay the BILLS! 

Let’s keep the economy “STIMULATED” by paying your professionals what they are worth.

CCS family — Do you think people will go back to paying for services once the lockdown is over?  Or do you think they will expect some huge discounts?  Comment below.

YouTube, Facebook Decide What’s Real or Fake News for Millennials

YouTube, Facebook Decide What’s Real or Fake News for Millennials

Listeners – have you noticed during these wild times—that EVERYONE is suddenly an expert on EVERYTHING?!

Over the weekend – YouTube has removed two videos of California doctors calling to ease coronavirus lockdowns by asserting that ‘Stay-At-Home' measures were unnecessary. 

The two doctors – Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi—also state that doctors are falsely attributing unrelated deaths to COVID-19.  

However – Facebook has NOT removed the doctors’ videos—which have been viewed more than 15 million times. 

The different reactions from YouTube and Facebook should be VERY ALARMING for Millennials.

Why should WE tolerate YouTube AND Facebook to become the messiah...the moderator of misinformation as it goes viral? 

It’s ludicrous! This is NOT the same situation as putting a life-ban on Infowars’ Alex Jones. 

The video removed by YouTube showed two licensed doctors speaking at a one-hour news conference livestreamed by local media, including NBC and ABC affiliates in Bakersfield. 

I feel like I’m living in a dystopia! 

What if I wanted to interview these two doctors on the Chris Collins Show – would YouTube remove my channel from their platform? It makes NO sense! 

Don't let these Silicon Dildos dictate the way you receive your information.

CCS family – Should MILLENNIALS trust tech companies to control misinformation online as it goes viral? 

Will Rock Bands Continue To Delay Album Releases Because Of August Burns Red?

Will Rock Bands Continue To Delay Album Releases Because Of August Burns Red?

August Burns Red -Bones (Official Music Video)

WHY WOULD ANYONE PURCHASE A DIGITAL RECORD DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED TIMES?

During August Burns Red’s first week of albums sales for Guardians: the band racked up over 10,000+ units in pure album sales including the digital release. 

Even though Guardians debuted No. 1 on the Hard Music Chart, the Rock Chart, and the Vinyl Albums chart – the Grammy nominated band suffered a massive decline from their 2017 album – Phantom Anthem – selling twice as more during its first week. 

I don’t know about you but I’m sure as hell not purchasing a $10 record during these unprecedented times especially with NO stimulus check in hand! 

Bands need to realize that people around the world are panicking on how they're going to pay rent and buy groceries in the coming weeks—AND $10 dollars for a digital download may suddenly seem too steep of a price to pay! 

I’d hate to agree with Ronnie Radke from Falling in Reverse (AND especially Marissa Pitts) – BUT – I think he's on to something: SINGLES ARE IN. ALBUMS ARE OUT! 

Ronnie Radke was asked the question in an interview last month with Forbes:

Do you think this single release format is something that could be the next evolutionary push for the rock genre as whole?

Yeah, it’s just a cycle and the circle of life. Everything comes back around, and I think it just takes a little bit longer for rock n’ roll and these metal guys to catch on because they’re not in that world. I’m from that world, and I’m just trying to do something different, trying to pave the way and lay the trail. I’m inspired a lot by everyone as well, I’m not saying I’m the first to do anything. I’m inspired but I just want to do stuff differently. People will catch on in this world, and I think they already are actually, there’s some other big bands talking about it in interviews, and they’re probably getting it from the pop world, but maybe they’re getting it from me who knows.

Bands around the world such as Lamb of God, Carcass, and Hatebreed have postponed the releases of their news albums because of the impact from August Burns Red sales.

CCS Family — Are ‘SINGLES’ IN and ‘ALBUMS’ are OUT?

LIFE IS BETTER WHEN YOU'RE LAUGHING DURING A PANDEMIC

LIFE IS BETTER WHEN YOU'RE LAUGHING DURING A PANDEMIC

I always find myself coping with death and disaster with an out-of-place chuckle.  

For years I felt that I must be wired wrong—but come to find out—it's OKAY TO LAUGH in unfunny situations.  

In an article form The New York Times titled: It’s OK to Find Humor in Some of This by Alex Williams. 

“Laughter, however hollow, is one of the main coping mechanisms during periods of sickness, death and anxiety.  So, don’t feel guilty” states Williams. 

 Who knew that inappropriate laughter was an anti-suicide coping mechanism? 

And there are plenty of people who are posting some great hilarious content right now. 

Leslie Jordan is my new hero as I listen to his pillow talk and other random conversations that he is sharing. This man needs an Oscar when this is all over!  

So, the next time you see that hilarious MEME that is completely inappropriate, feel free to hit the laugh emoji and share to the world. You might just brighten up the day of someone.  

Or at least you’ll laugh while pissing off the rest of the world. 

CCS family — WHAT situations are you finding yourself laughing at during these times of Quarantine Boredom? Comment below.

"I Always Wear Gloves And A Condom During A Pandemic" - Chris Collins

I Always Wear Gloves And A Condom During A Pandemic

Listeners...especially the MEN – I’m speaking to YOU! 

You should ALWAYS be wearing gloves and a condom. I haven’t changed my condom in weeks! JUST KIDDING! 

In an article from New York Times titled: Are Facemasks the New Condoms? by James Gorman. 

Are face masks going to become like condoms — ubiquitous, sometimes fashionable, promoted with public service announcements? 

Dr. David O’Connor, who studies HIV and viral disease at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said: 

“If people with no symptoms are spreading the coronavirus—as some studies suggest—it may be time to give face masks the kind of advertising and promotion that support condoms as lifesavers.” 

Dr. O’Connor states: “Kids are going to need to wear them to school when classes resume. Adults are going to need to wear them to work. If you want to go to a basketball game—when we get to that point—face mask. They need to be as ubiquitous as Kleenex—as quickly as possible.” 

Believe it or not – the NBA and WNBA league is developing team-branded facemasks in time for the league to open. 

CCS FAMILY! ARE FACEMASKS THE NEW CONDOMS? 

Dr. David O’Connor believes it’s time to “normalize face masks—and FAST.” 

MILLENNIALS HAVE NO MONEY FOR THE STRIP CLUBS

MILLENNIALS HAVE NO MONEY FOR THE STRIP CLUBS

I pay my taxes so where is my stimulus money! I’m not the only one waiting around on our Government.  

A lot of people are scrambling to try and get small business loans to help them out during this crisis.  

Criteria seems easy enough to qualify—you own a small business—pay taxes—and your business faced an economic downfall during the shut-down.  

But Hold on!!! Make sure you read that Clinton Era Fine print! 

It looks like the U.S. Government has “Whorephobia.” 

In an article from Buzzfeed titled If You Strip, Make Porn, Or Sell Sex Toys, You Might Not Get Any Coronavirus Aid Money. That’s Where The First Amendment Comes In by Otillia Steadman.  

That’s right! Puritan inspired laws during Clinton’s Reign state that—NO business’ dealing in Good ‘ol SIN can qualify for the $349 billion of the relief money.  

The Strip Clubs and Sex shops Industry account for $17.6 billion dollars in 2019 !!!!  That’s a whole lot of tax dollars streaming into our government.  

The hypocrisy of it all really ticks me off. Clinton can get an extramarital blowjob and still pull a check—but business and PEOPLE who have paid into our system can’t?  

Come on America!! It’s time to throw off our Puritanical Colonialistic Ideals and GET WITH THE TIMES! 

Do you think it’s fair that any TAXPAYER would be excluded for stimulus help?

Fingers crossed our out-of-work Booty Shakers can get the much-needed assistance during these “hard” times. (Pun Intended lol) 

SOCIAL MEDIA = OPEN HEART SURGERY

SOCIAL MEDIA = OPEN HEART SURGERY

With little to no faith in our leaders in government – the amount of misinformation is circulating across the internet at an ALL TIME HIGH. 

In an article from Buzzfeed titled: The Social Media Shame Machine Is In Overdrive Right Now by Anne Helen Petersen. 

As more and more YouTube videos disinfecting groceries are starting to feel more like Open Heart Surgery – users across the globe are looking for new information on COVID-19. 

I don’t know about YOU but I’m exhausted to hear new information every day about the coronavirus and how it works – why the economy is crashing – AND – how our government is failing to get help to those who need it most. 

There’s STILL so much that we don’t know! 

For example – what is the actual number of first-known cases of COVID-19 infections? When will the wide-scale practice of social distancing end and how can users keep updated on the progress of a potential vaccine? 

Honestly – it feels like we’re fighting two pandemics: COVID-19 and Foolishness. 

Well friends! In the year 2033, we shall witness the rise of QuaranTEEN! 

Boomernomics: With Great Power Comes Zero Accountability

Boomernomics: With Great Power Comes Zero Accountability

During these unfortunate events – Millennials are trying to stay active at home playing videos game while Baby Boomers use their pastime to knit masks. 

In an article from Business Insider titled: The Coronavirus Has Intensified The Generational Divide Between Millennials And Boomers. Here Are 5 Ways They're Dealing With The Pandemic Differently by Hiliary Hoffower. 

From staying inside or not—to making memes—to hoarding toilet paper! Every generation is handling their anxiety differently.  

And when it comes to MONEY! —Millennials are becoming wishful thinkers assuming that their stimulus check will become their new savings to help ease their mental stress. 

In the U.S – Millennials are noted as having $1000 to their name and have about $200 in their bank account. 

With no stimulus check to assist with the cost of food, living—and relief of student debt – the last thing Millennials are thinking about is applying for health care. 

Unfortunately – many millennials found out last week that their role as a ‘dependent’ on their parent’s taxes excludes them from receiving a stimulus check. 

During this week in the media – the HILL.TV hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti laughed off a slow week of reporting as if Millennials are RECYCLED NEWS. 

And presidential candidate Joe Biden’s message for Millennials are: “Give me a break, I have no empathy!”

That’s BOOMERNOMICS in a nutshell!

I can’t even apply for Unemployment because I’m working as a GA grading students’ papers during the pandemic -- I'm making LESS each month than what the UI would provide me.

GAME OVER! I guess that I’m too entitled.

Who Decides Whether A Dildo Is An 'Essential Item' Anyways?

Who Decides Whether A Dildo Is An 'Essential Item' Anyways?

An Amazon worker is mad because the company keeps shipping dildos instead of just essential items during the coronavirus pandemic / via WXYZ

Did you know that in New Hampshire – plant nurseries are considered an essential business while many states still consider golf courses open as an essential outdoor recreation activity. 

In an article from Washington Post titled: What’s ‘Essential’ Anyway? Roses, Guns, Manicures, Marijuana – It All Depends On Who’s Deciding by Karen Heller. 

We’re in Week Five of quarantine and Americans are still confused why recreational marijuana dispensaries are still open while bars and restaurants are closed. 

To put this into perspective – many decisions are left to governors in consultation with state officials as well as mayors to decide what’s considered essential. 

Not surprisingly – many of the discord between some governors and mayors is because of their opposing political views. 

As Heller puts it – Times are tense. Politics are constant. Logic is often elusive. 

Millennials – you must understand that this isn’t like natural disasters—like earthquakes, hurricanes, or wildfires striking a specific state or region. 

Never in modern history have all 50 states simultaneously declared an emergency. 

During this pandemic at the start of April – Amazon workers in Michigan walked off the job requesting that the facility be closed for selling DILDOS. 

You heard that right – DILDOS! 

What do YOU consider as an ‘Essential Item’ during these unprecedented times? Comment below.

A Dildo Is An Essential Item? What The Hell Is Going On?

A Dildo Is An Essential Item? What The Hell Is Going On?

Zdravstrvuyte, druzia!

I completely understand, that staying indoors for a long time sometimes makes you crazy. However, with the pandemic gets wider and wider the madness reaches the point of North Korea, by which I mean a point of no return.

In the recent video, one smart guy said that all essential items are sold out (like sanitizers, toilet paper or extra-large adult diapers, etc.) and that the Amazon must be shut down until restocking since there is no need to non-essential items like dildos (yes, you heard it)to be sold.

From first glance, it’s all clear, right?

But some people from Hell (Twitter) think the opposite! According to them, Alcohol is not an essential item (which makes my vodka’s army get outraged!). Others believe this Amazon worker subtly shows the toxic masculinity over those women who, as they believe, are getting suppressed. What can I say to these people? Stay indoors. Stay indoors forever and ever. Please don’t talk, and don’t think. Никогда!

But, hey, I can say that alcohol may not always be an essential item (which makes me aggressive).

But since the customer is always right, let’s pretend that dildo is an essential item.

Just imagine how a bunch of Amazon guys delivers dildos all around the country. My communist mind already imagined how one of these guys delivers XXL Dildo (with the tag ‘Proudly made in the USA’ on it) to Apt. 666, where he surprisingly meets Mrs. Clause, the driver’s Philosophy College Professor.

But anyway… dildos… are essential items?

That’s why I hate capitalism. Dosvidaniya!

Television’s Greatest Boss: Michael Scott

Television’s Greatest Boss: Michael Scott

SEX!!!!

Now that I have your attention.

Let’s talk about the greatest, funniest show to ever hit the face of this universe.  No, I’m not talking about Friends, cause I’m not one of those basic people that incorrectly have that opinion.  I’m talking about the people person’s paper people. I’m talking about The Office.

On March 24, people everywhere celebrated the 15th anniversary of the beloved mockumentary.  Whether it was the inappropriate jokes or the iconic Jim look, there was always something to love about the show.  At the center of its heart was none other than Michael Scott (some may know him as Steve Carell).

No matter how insensitive, selfish or childish he was, you just couldn’t help but fall in love with the character.  Which is why it was so heartbreaking when Steve Carell left the show towards the end of the seventh season. I remember watching “Goodbye Michael” when it aired and feeling the gravity of the episode. The show was never going to be the same.

The departure of the show’s key center piece was never fully brought to light; however, a new source suggests shocking information.  In a new book by Andy Greene titled The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s, it suggests that the reason behind Steve Carell’s departure was actually due to NBC deciding not to bring him back.  According to interviews in the book, the uncertainty of Carell’s future with the show came at a time when a new president was appointed to NBC who was apparently “not as big a fan of The Office”, which contributed to Carell’s eventual departure.

Ultimately, I don’t know what to make of all this. From what I have heard, everything seems based on vague/sketchy accounts from a few of the shows crew members.  It’s also hard to believe that news like this wouldn’t have been revealed sooner, especially with how much the shows fanbase has grown since the series finale. Unless NBC or Steve Carell come forward to tell the story, I don’t think we’ll ever know if these claims are true.

I absolutely love The Office. I’ve watched it more times than I can count. I can pretty much connect any situation to an event, line or scene of the show.  I’ve said “that’s what she said” so many times that now friends and family of mine say it involuntarily.  

(Now time for a shameless plug) I love the show so much that I’ve created a podcast about it. The Dundie: An Office Battle Royale where my friend/co-host, Eduardo Vaca and I pit two episodes against each other every week until we find the best episode worthy of claiming: THE DUNDIE!  It’s got everything, laughs, tears, love, and definitely some hot takes on the show that may surprise you. We are even planning to read Greene’s book and discuss it for a future episode.  Make sure to find it wherever you listen to your podcasts. After you hear it and realize the level of expertise that we have on the show, do us a huge favor and leave a written review on Apple Podcast because it helps a ton. (Okay, plug over).

I really hope these rumors between Carell and NBC are not true, because it will only make his departure hurt that much more.  But for now, I will keep doing what I’ve always been doing, watching The Office and watching Michael Scott at the center of it… well most of it.  The reason I do this? Simply because he’s the best; he’ll never leave me disappointed and at the end of it all, I know I’ll be left smiling, satisfied.

“That’s what she said!”

QUIBI: THE GODSON OF SNAPCHAT IS BORN

QUIBI: THE GODSON OF SNAPCHAT IS BORN

Why would anyone watch their television sideways? Don’t millennials realize that your TV placed horizontal seats a family of four in a living room?! 

In an article from CNET titled: QUIBI: RELEASE DATE, PRICES, SHOWS, AND WTF IS A QUIBI ACTUALLY by Joan Solsman. 

Are you like me who has already forgotten about QUIBI pumping out their mobile-only subscription video service with an expensive ad placement during this year’s Super Bowl? 

QUIBI is offering the viewing experience of BOTH vertical and horizontal with shows such as SURIVIVE starring Sophie Turner and Chrissy’s Court featuring John Legend’s wife. 

Honestly – WHAT is Chrissy Teigen known for other than being John Legend’s wife? HAHA 

Anyways – QUIBI is releasing star-packed programming with episodes ranging from 10-minutes or less.  And offering their cheapest tier at $5 a month which includes advertising. Its ad-free tier is $8 a month. 

Quibi might have been the alternative for Harry Potter trapped in his closet – BUT – WILL QUIBI BECOME SUCCESSFUL WITH THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION?

If I was a part of Quibi – I’d be partnering up with film programs on college campuses to support Short Films by creating competitions to have an outlet to premiere new talents. Sun Dance has NEVER thought about us — why can’t QUIBI be that place for the youth?

Did you learn about QUIBI today after reading this BLOG? Let us know in the comments below.

YOUNG MILLENNIALS: DON’T EXPECT A STIMULUS CHECK IN THE MAIL

YOUNG MILLENNIALS: DON’T EXPECT A STIMULUS CHECK IN THE MAIL

What up young Millennials, are you sitting around expecting to get a $1200 stimulus check in the mail this month?

Well, don’t hold your breath because you are on the list of people who didn’t PASS GO.  

In an article from the Washington Post titled: "Who won’t get a stimulus check?” by Heather Long.  

If you’re between the ages of 17 and 26, chances are the government is going to KEEP your stimulus check.  

Why? Because Congress and the Senate decided that ANYONE who is being claimed as a dependent over the age of 16 isn’t entitled to the measly crumbs that they have decided to give the American people.  

Who else is on the list of empty pockets? People who are here legally as a permanent resident but are not a full citizen.

This effects my household completely as my husband’s citizenship test has been postponed due to Covid-19. 

It came out late Wednesday night last week that our most vulnerable, people on Social Security, who aren’t required to file taxes, ARE going to get their check without having to file in the middle of a PANDEMIC!!! 

Tighten your belts, as chances are you won’t be seeing much relief anytime soon. 

MASK OR NOT TO MASK?

MASK OR NOT TO MASK?

Can you imagine walking into a bank wearing a mask now that it’s required to wear in public?! 

In an article from BUZZFEED titled: Coronavirus Cases Have Surged, But The US Is Refusing To Take The World’s Most Available Masks by Ken Bensinger 

As hospitals around the country desperately seeking N95 respirator masks to protect health care workers treating COVID-19 patients – the federal government has blocked imports of what might be the world’s most abundant alternative. 

CHINA has an alternative respirator called KN95 that is similar to N95 which is designed to filter out at least 95% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger in size. 

The Centers for Disease Control has stated that KN95 is as effective as N95, which is certified under US testing standards. 

But this second type of mask, called the KN95, complies with slightly different norms and is made in factories that have not been certified by the US government. 

The REAL question isn't about KN95 vs N95 – IT’S ABOUT should we wear a mask or not? 

Our Surgeon General doesn’t seem to wear a mask on live TV and President Trump doesn’t even practice social distancing by staying 6ft apart during news briefings. 

The U.S. must compete with dozens of other countries desperate to acquire masks – WHY is the U.S. being picky about respirators for the American people? 

As Americans – are we behind in the medical field from the rest of the world? That’s for you to decide. 

The Olympics 2020 Cancelled!

The Olympics 2020 Cancelled!

CCS Blogger - TOM THE COMMIE

Hey comrades! I am so disappointed with the fact that the 2020 Olympics in Japan was canceled due to coronavirus. Why is it so sad?

First, there are many Anime fans in Russia. Thousands of Russian nationals won’t see and meet gorgeous Anime girls. They, in turn, will miss the opportunity to shoot from Kalashnikov and to try Russian vodka and dumplings, that we call Pelmeni (don’t ask why).

Second, we won’t see stunning competitions between different teams, especially between Russian and American teams. KGB told me that it would be easy to defeat burger-eaters and - lawsuit-cowboys from America, and unfortunately this time it’s impossible. Какая досада!

Third, since most gyms are closed during pandemic this would be the year of obesity. We in Russia already prepared for it. We bought millions of dumplings and Vodkas and Kalashnikov. The only thing is that we don’t know what do to with this.

What about America? Everybody says to stay indoors and watch Netflix. But everybody would be agreeing, that nobody wants to be couch-potato, right?

So, here’s the decision. I and my friend Vladimir (not the one you think about) can go on LA streets with those who tired from staying indoors.

Your goal is simple. The only thing you need to do is to run as far as possible from us, because otherwise, Kalashnikov bullets would reach you, bringing you to pizdec (on Russian it means something like fuc*ed up).

You guys would not only lose weight but also would become stronger. You don’t believe me?

Rebyta, it did work when I was four years old, so you won’t be an exception!

Millennials – Social Distance & Chill!

Millennials – Social Distance & Chill! 

Hey Millennials! We FINALLY made it on the news. 

The Avocado Toast generation in large numbers last weekend refused to let the COVID-19 pandemic ruin our Spring Break. 

A high school graduate and Soundcloud rapper Brady Sluder from Milford, Ohio received national coverage from the media for his defiance to let ‘social distancing’ ruin his fiesta ignoring guidelines designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. 

Sluder appeared in a viral video from CBS News filmed on a packed beach in Miami saying: 

If I get corona, I get corona. At the end of the day, I'm not going to let it stop me from partying. We've been waiting for Miami spring break for a while. We're just out here having a good time. Whatever happens, happens. 

Millennials may feel invisible because the coronavirus doesn’t affect the youth in large numbers like older generations – BUT – the economy could crash leading many of us living at home with our parents. 

Bad Omens vocalist Noah Sebastian perfectly tweeted a response to the youth with the following: 

You guys know how some of the hard headed boomers don’t take climate change seriously and how frustrating it is for us younger generations? That’s exactly how some of you young people still ignoring instructions about containing this virus are being right now. Wise up. 

This isn’t a simulation from WestWorld – we will come back from reality after this pandemic. It takes every generation to combat the number of coronavirus cases in our country. 

It's not like Millennials don’t have endless entertainment in the palm of our hands. 

Netflix & Quarantine. PornHub & Masturbate. Social Distance & Chill. 

Don’t forget to also use sanitary wipes on your iPhone after each use! 

How To Make Money During The COVID-19 Pandemic

How To Make Money During The COVID-19 Pandemic

Can’t get back to work for the foreseeable future? Waiting on your EDD to come in?

Here are some fun and creative ways to make money while bunkering down!  

In an article from Buzzfeed titled “Here Are Some Super-Creative Ways People Are Making Money After Losing Their Jobs Due to The Coronavirus.” by Tanya Chen.  

The first of the month is around the corner. The struggle to get income is a high priority!  Chen has written down some fun ways to make that extra cash while stuck at home. 

Here’s just a brief list of things to pick from: 

1. Throw Spa/Make-over Virtual Parties.  

2. Host an exercise/voice/theatre class.  

3. Get your TEFL Certificate (cheap on groupon) and teach English to International Students.  

4. Write customized poems and short stories.  

5. Serenade people online.  

6. Bartender Mixology Classes. 

The imagination is the limit when figuring out your side hustle in these uncertain times. I know I am trying out the Virtual Teaching in foreign countries. 

BUT don’t forget to practice TECHNOLOGICAL HYGIENE! Beware of downloading viruses or falling for an online scam which can wipe out whatever money you have saved along with doing some real damage to your laptop. 

If there is one thing that we can be proud of as Millennials, is our ability to be adaptable in crappy situations.  

SO, WASH YOUR HANDS, TURN ON THE MALWARE, AND GET YOUR HUSTLE ON! 

The Internet Is Grabbing Us by An Impulse

The Internet Is Grabbing Us by An Impulse

Have you ever watched TV feeling a vibration in your pants pocket only to realize that you didn’t miss a call?

Well, you’re NOT alone!   

The Internet has provided the world with instant gratification in the palm of our hands with endless online content. 

With the rise of smart phones in the 21st century, millennials are being linked to a newfound behavioral disease known as ‘Phantom Vibration Syndrome’.   

In an article from WebMD, PhD Robert Rosenberger says:

Detecting a vibrating phone has become a habit, and the slightest muscle twitch or feeling of clothing moving could be wrongly interpreted as phone vibration

It shouldn’t startle anyone that the millennial generation wants our factual news now and are easily distracted to check their TINDER account for a new online date.   

In fact, there is plenty of research that indicates that my generation is suffering from long-term effects of heavy Internet use because the instant access of WIFI-connection from our laptops, hotspots and mobile devices. 

Today notifications on social media bring immediate gratification throughout the day making most users checking their sources within AN IMPULSE.    

Users of our generation are finding themselves constantly scrolling through the same repetitive photo/video content of sports highlights, political announcements, and celebrity gossips. 

Don’t you find yourself on social media when bored at work, in between classes, and checking your notifications while driving?  

Why are you judging? Don’t act like you’ve never done the text and drive!   

The point that I’m making is the free reign of information access on the Internet has created a culture amongst the Millennial generation with the fear of missing out on viral news, user notifications, and making comments on social media. 

Social media has become the registered heartbeat trackers of this world. 

So, the next time you feel that vibration in your pants—go with YOUR IMPULSE!

If we are in a National Emergency, why is the Employment Development Department (EDD) CLOSING offices?!

In an article from Buzzfeed titled: “What The Hell Are Bar And Restaurant Workers Supposed To Do For The Next Few Months?” by Amber Jamieson.  

Jamieson interviews Millennials who are now suddenly without income after living paycheck to paycheck in the food serving industry and there is a consensus.

"I'm not worried about this virus; I'm worried about all these other things.” 

And all these other things are the long laundry list of basic survival, RENT, FOOD, and the never-ending cycle off BILLS, BILLS, BILLS.  

Ok, so you have lost your survival job, you’ve filed a claim ONLINE with EDD but what happens if you need help with your filing? You MUST speak to someone from an 800 number. 

THEY HAVE CLOSED ALL PHYSICAL OFFICES!  

EDD announced they have extended their phone hours from Monday thru Friday 8am-12pm to 4:30pm but what’s the point if at 7:51am the lines are JAMMED all day still!

I called my Senators and State Representatives. And they can’t even get through to speak to someone themselves!

What a shit show this is when even our local governments can’t get through to a department but have to wait on the phone like the rest of us.

EDD OPEN YOUR OFFICES BACK UP!
