Reader says Parents of the “Mob” could face “juicy lawsuits” with a “6 or 7-figure” settlement

106708883 10223798018363050 1645213401298438040 o

“I recommend that parents of these protesters google CNN payout to Nick Sandman. It’s a big figure. It doesn’t take much imagination to picture a law abiding resident who gets into an argument with the kids… some of them act aggressive… a nuz outlet or Twitter outs the resident publicly… the Leftist mob smear the resident… the resident files a juicy lawsuits against the nuz outlet… and against the Ridgewood kids who were smearing him…
This is all fun and games, and material for college applications… until the slow wheels of justice finally club your kid with a 6 or 7-figure decision. And don’t think for a second this won’t happened to you because some a$$holes in DC or whatever got away with worse. Those a$$holes had no $. You do.”

Reader Says Governor is killing, “the golden egg-laying goose of small business”

fireplace

“The Fireplace’s reputation for quality and value was earned through decades of commitment and hard work. Work that obviously was not just about the money. And Murphy’s reward and recognition of this consists of a profound disrespect for Everyman and the thankless sweat he’s put in day in and day out to make a life for his family.

Ridgewood NJ,  a reader asked , “Do you think that the Village had intelligence that there would be a protest like this and that’s why they cancelled the CBD restaurant mall  ?” It does appear to be the case and the Village can be commended for taking action to ensure the safety of residents ,businesses and protesters ,but it does raise some issues as to why the Central Business District continues to get the shaft from the Village. Will Ridgewood CBD continue its comeback attempt to once again be a viable post pandemic downtown  or will shoppers and dinners flee and not return do to protests and unrest ?

Ridgewood NJ, the “Black Lives Matter” protesters  made the following demands to create a more “woke” classroom in Ridgewood . The demands clearly put ideology over learning and  attempt to drag Ridgewood’s $115 million dollar school budget into the “cultural revolution” ie even more Marxism.  We are left to wonder how long Ridgewood residents  will continue to pay exorbitant property taxes and what impact this will have on the quality of education.

“Among the demands are four specific ones, related to education in Ridgewood. One, that the village’s “Eurocentric” curriculum be dismantled. Two, that there be “mandatory anti-racist training’s for students and teachers.” Three, that there be “more Black teachers, staff and leadership.” And four, that there be a “Ridgewood Public Schools Resource office” to support students of color.

Preventing Setbacks in Running Your Business – Here’s How

84606445 631642940964539 204706108491694080 n

Owning your own business means that, for the most part, you do not get any time off; especially in the early days when you still do not have a team working in full force, you will notice that there is always something going on that requires your attention. This is one of the reasons why business owners usually suffer from burnout and stress. To them, slowing down is a luxury that they cannot afford. However, if you are looking to stay in business for a long time, you will soon realize that this “always-on” mindset is unrealistic and unsustainable. The best thing you can do is set the right expectations, which includes accounting for the failures you are bound to come across every now and then.

CDC: The risk of getting COVID-19 from food or food packaging is very low

Ridgewood NJ, Coronaviruses, like the one that causes COVID-19, are thought to spread mostly person-to-person through respiratory droplets when someone coughs, sneezes, or talks. It is possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object, including food or food packaging, that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. However, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that handling food or consuming food is associated with COVID-19.

After shopping, handling food packages, or before preparing or eating food, it is important to always wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Remember, it is always important to follow good food safety practices to reduce the risk of illness from common foodborne pathogens.
