After reading this story about schools tracking unvaccinated students by forcing them to wear ankle monitors, I have no doubt that camps are coming.
Communism
We are all responsible for safety
Delta Air Lines plans to charge workers who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccination an extra $200 per month for their health care insurance. The average Delta employee hospitalized for COVID-19 has cost the company $50,000, CEO Ed Bastian said in a memo to employees released by the airline, so this is intended to have the unvaccinated workers pay for that cost.
Why stop there? We could institute a social credit score, like China has. Like private credit scores, a person’s social score can move up and down depending on their behavior. The exact methodology would be a secret, like credit scores. Still, some examples of infractions would include bad driving, smoking in non-smoking zones, buying too many video games, not being vaccinated, and posting fake news online.
The system can be used for individual people, but also for companies and government organizations. The message is clear: be a responsible citizen, or pay extra.
Like having bad credit, a below average score would mean paying more for meals, cell phone service, or insurance. A score that drops further would mean slow internet, a ban on travel, the inability to get a hotel room, or restrictions on what kind of car you can buy.
Of course, those with the lowest scores would be required to attend courses on being a responsible citizen. To eliminate distractions while also preventing unsocial people from affecting those around them, these classes would be taught at a government owned boarding school. To ensure that everyone could afford it, clothing, meals, and lodging would be entirely at government expense for those attending this school.
Doesn’t that sound nice? The world could use a little kindness, equality, and social responsibility, and the government can make sure we all get that while also making us safe from the poor behavior and decisions of others.
Communications
HAM radio
A woman in North Central Florida has demanded that a HAM radio operator in her neighborhood stop using his equipment because it is interfering with her insulin pump.
This is bullshit. According to the FCC database, the HAM operator in question has a callsign of WB9UYK. He lives at 8546 SW 79th Ave, and has since June of 2019. The woman who is complaining lives at 8566 SW 79th. Ave, according to voter records. Using Google maps, the two houses are 74 feet apart, at their closest.
If I were the HAM operator, I would demand an engineer’s assessment showing that MY equipment was the cause of the interference. There is a Reddit thread on this one. Greybeard: if you see this, what do you think?
EDIT: There is also a thread on QRZ.
Tranny Insanity
Science is dead
Why? When colleges can do studies like this one: Does your organization use gender inclusive forms? Nurses’ confusion about trans* terminology You know that science is dead. It was paid for and conducted by San Francisco State University. The conclusion of the study (as if you can’t guess) was:
Results: Only 5% reported use of gender inclusive forms, 44% did not know about inclusive forms, 37% did not understand what a gender inclusive form was and 14% confused gender with sexual orientation.
Conclusion: The study demonstrated a critical need for education in gender identity and sexual orientation terminology.
Relevance to clinical practice: The lack of understanding of concepts and terminology may affect basic care of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender patients especially those who identify as transgender.
The fusion of science and politics. I would suggest that science is dead. This is also why tuition is so high. They need to pay for stuff like this.
Anti American left
Informants
CVS recently had an inclusivity workshop where they asked employees to hold each other “accountable” for non-inclusive behavior. Here come the informants.
Fortunately, they are easy to spot. They are the ones lecturing about mask wearing, vaccines, and telling everyone how men menstruate.
COVID
Satire, or reality?
Doctors Announce They Will No Longer Treat Car Accident Victims Who Didn’t Wear Their Seat Belt
“My job is to make sure these people are living the way I want them to, and then decide who lives or dies based on that. This world has too many people in it anyway. Come to think about it, why did I become a doctor? Oh yeah—money.”
Doctors Stage Walkout At South Florida Hospital To Protest Treating Unvaccinated People
COVID
Now my brother
Two days ago, I announced that my mother has COVID, but only had mild symptoms. Last week, my Brother received a so-called booster of the vaccine. Today, he was diagnosed with COVID. It seems that even fully vaccinated people with booster shots can get it.
One of my employees today told me that her mother is in the ICU on a ventilator, with an exceptionally bad case of COVID. The mother is unvaccinated, and there are many people that will view this as: “AHA! If she had been vaccinated, she would be fine!”
They would be ignoring that this woman got sick a month ago, and her doctor diagnosed her with tonsilitis. Three weeks later, she woke up gasping for breath, and passed out. She was taken to the ER, where her advanced case of COVID, which her doctor had misdiagnosed, was finally treated.
So is this a case of no vaccine, or a case of an untreated, serious case of an infection caused by a medical error? How does a doctor not test someone for COVID if they come in to the office sick? Or was the test faulty?
Another 12 hour shift today. Sorry I don’t have anything else for you. Tired. I spent all day in the COVID isolation wing, where I walked 10,000 steps. I am worn out.
Communism
Not race
We are constantly told how we should allow immigrants illegally crossing our southern border into the nation, and opposition to that makes one a racist.
The administration is not so accommodating when it comes to Cubans, who are being sent back where they came from.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Cubans tend to vote against Democrats’ failed Communist policies.
Presidency
Self funded rescue mission
If a hypothetical group of Americans were to charter a plane, head to Afghanistan, and kill one person, they could return home with a plane full of Amercans, a shit load of cool guns, and a check for $5 million.
