And Im amazed at just how many people/families order out on a regular basis!

The only difference I noticed was fewer Fresh Direct trucks in my area....but not by much!

Like it or not.....every fabric of American life is tied to the Internet!

Didn’t they just close the Galleria by you? That place was mobbed from opening to closing times every day of the week.
The Christmas Tree Shop just announced they’re filing chapter 11.
COVID didn’t cause an economic collapse nor did internet. Having everyone stay home did, and who did that? Their was so many warnings coming and no one listened.
Did you see above, Amazon is starting to have problems why? It’s Chinese Shit.

Oscars - new rules for Best Picture eligiblity

The first category of standards (which the Academy calls Group A) deals with the stories or characters on the actual screen. In this category, movies must have one of the following:

  • At least one “lead or significant supporting actor” from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group. Or ...
  • At least 30 percent of a cast in secondary and minor roles from two underrepresented identity groups. Or ...
  • A main storyline or subject that centers on an underrepresented identity group.
Group B standards regard the creative and production team behind the film. To meet these standards, a film must meet one of the following criteria:

  • At least two heads of major departments (such as editing, director, makeup and hairstyling, costuming, or sound, as well as many others) must be from an underrepresented identity group. Additionally, a minimum of one of these must be from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group. Or ...
  • At least six people on the crew (excluding production assistants, generally the entry-level position on set) are from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group. Or ...
  • At least 30 percent of the crew are from an underrepresented identity group.
Group C standards have to do with the (paid) training opportunities that film companies offer groups of people who are underrepresented in Hollywood. There’s some fine print here distinguishing between huge companies with deep pockets (like Disney and Warner Bros.) and smaller companies or independent productions. But in general, to qualify in this category, the film’s production company or distributor must meet both of these two standards:

  • Must offer paid internship or apprenticeship opportunities, in a variety of departments, to people from underrepresented identity groups, and must actually be employing people in those positions (numbers vary according to the size of the company). And ...
  • Must offer training and work opportunities in “below the line” (essentially, lower- and mid-level positions) to people from underrepresented identity groups.
Group D standards deal with “audience development,” with is Hollywood’s way of talking about the parts of the business that get people to buy tickets to movies. To qualify in this category, the studio or company distributing the film must have “multiple” senior-level executives from underrepresented identity groups on their marketing, publicity, or distribution teams.

Remember: Films will only need to meet the standards in a minimum of two of these four groups in order to be eligible to compete for Best Picture.

Additionally, these rules don’t kick in until the 2024 Oscars (which, because of the way awards calendars work, covers movies released
