Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

That is excellent pricing! Definitely better to take them to the auction barn for those prices. And much less hassle than trying to accommodate times for buyers to come to the ranch for pickup. I need to check our prices, however, our auction does not sell by the pound but by the head. On the 40 lbs. lambs it looks like you are actually getting close to $4.00 per lb.!

It is. The 13 head that we took in a couple of weeks ago paid for next winters hay. The 30 we take in Monday will be clear except for the feed we have used in the last couple of weeks keeping them in condition.

I'm so sick of the censorship that's going on in our country! They are violating our Constitutional right of free speech!

The owners of YouTube don't want their site used as a means to encourage people to hurt themselves or others, to hurt animals, to break the law, etc. There are scads of videos uploaded to their site every day; they can't possibly view them all before they go up. Therefore, they rely on their subscribers to report videos that are offensive in some way. Somebody (probably multiple somebodies) flagged that video, which means they reviewed it, and decided it contained content that was not the kind of thing they want their site used to disseminate, and took it down. That is not a violation of anybody's right to free speech. Nobody said, "you can't talk like that," they just said, "you can't use our platform to spread misinformation."

I'm not sure they really look at the video unless the creator appeals its removal. Enough flags and it's down. Just simple algorithm. Peta people do that to farm videos all the time. Appealing it can bring it back for a time.
YouTube might do a little censoring, but they are providing a "free" service to you and they know it. They do not care what you think and know you most likely "cant" live without them, so even if offended they know you'll be back. Their real product is selling ads to advertisers and feeding them to you before, during, and after your video.
YouTube is not a right. It is a business, very much like Facebook. Remember that, and things they do will start to make a lot more sense.
They don't care if you are happy. It's those advertisers they want happy and fed.

I have heard they have been demonizing most covid videos to prevent propaganda content mills though. The creator may have removed that video when they found it didn't pay. I wouldn't donate free work to them.
Anywho, we're mostly still shut down here. Ghost town. That seems to make people stuck out working on it happy. When people gather, that's when I see unhappy employees.

YouTube is not a right. It is a business

Yep, it sure is, a business that is hurting just like so many others. A lot of YouTubers' ad income has taken a hit, thanks to the pandemic. Some that various family members like to follow have been putting up content just to keep them current in the algorithm; I've heard a couple say that by the time they got through paying their editing staff, etc, a video was going to cost them more to make than they were going to earn from it.

They are slowly loosening the restrictions around here; traffic is a lot heavier than it has been. The thing that has me most on edge these days are what my husband has dubbed the covidrivers. I see it every time I go out - people driving like they are playing a video game.

WE GOT TOILET PAPER!!!

Limit one, but 16 roll pack. Still collecting magazines since I thought we were going to have to use them last week!

BAD MAYOR GARCETTI! LOS ANGELES MAYOR HAS DECIDED ARBITRATRILY THAT WE SHALL REMAIN CLOSED DOWN THROUGH AUGUST! CURSES ON ALL THESE LIBERAL DMEOCRAT OFFICIALS WHO TRY TO SEIZE POWER IN THIS WAY!

Did anyone see the provisions in Pelosi's new 3 Trillion "Covid Relief Bill"? Relief payments to all illegals, open all borders, and most of the 3 Trillion is not even directed at Covid relief! Oh yes, and release all the prisoners in all the jails! They probably need the space for those wicked people that don't want to wear masks and be under house arrest for the next 3 months! AND NEED THEIR HAIR AND NAILS DONE!!!!!

Did it look like Pelosi tried to dye her own hair? She looks like she got some of the dark brown dye too low on her forehead and over one eye! It will stain the skin if you are not careful. Don't ask me how I know this because I am a natural beauty who would never stoop to artificial enhancement.

I think Pelosi and Uncle Joe will soon be sharing space at the nursing home.

If you reopen your nursing homes will be as empty as ours, so they'll get their pick of venues for their golden years.
