As the pandemic eases in some parts of the world, we’re seeing the so-called “great resignation:” 20 million people in the U.S. have quit their jobs since April, according to federal statistics.

1. Thanks Rhiannon

I appreciate your synopsis of the video. Concise and how I would describe it...if only if I could loose the superfluous verbiage affliction I am cursed with.

2. Thanks, but I usually go with the captions that are provided by the source.

I'll correct typos if necessary, but most news sources provide pretty good summaries - as does Stephen Colbert... That said, believe it or not, that used to be my job, providing summaries of network TV shows for the newspapers.

3. Don't harsh my buzz.

I always thought those were your words. Oh well....in the season of OhWell.

4. Well, I am capable of writing them since I did that for the networks

And I do sometimes add something if they left out an important fact, but most do a decent job.

5. Good to know Rhiannon!

I've read enough of your posts to know you can write and express your ideas very well.

6. And, I am a compulsive schmoozer

But you already knew that.

7. Awww, thanks!

My boss used to pick on me because I tried to say too much, so I learned to be more concise.
