As much as I believe welfare enables certain negative behaviors I'd rather have it than forcing you to leave your grand parents or any of your disabled relatives on the side of the road to fend for themselves because they are no longer able to be productive members of society.
There's a lot that is wrong with the current welfare system. However, its absence is worse.
If you look at who is commenting in r/news threads about highly political, narrative driven articles you'll find the average age of accounts is 4 years old with an inordinate amount of +6yo accounts. I believe the oldest I've seen was a 12yo account.
The comments are all in support of the narratives.
You'll often find that the commenters are mods of multiple subs or their mod list is hidden so you can't tell, but can assume they mod. It is these accounts that are driving the conversations on reddit.
I would guess that your grocery store has it's own supply issues. There's no reason for a bread shortage. There's plenty of flour.
I'm seeing plenty of bread and eggs in my area. Chicken supply has always been tight since covid but that's because of processing, not production.
However, we are living in a time of artificially induced uncertainty and shortages. Make sure you have several months worth of provisions stored.
The FBI authenticated the validity by raiding Project Veritas.
The Outer Space treaty only prohibits nuclear weapons. Other forms of weapons are not prohibited.
What's the narrative, that an 84yo cancer & parkinsons patient who is immunocompromised from his his diseases and their treatments died from a viral infection with a high mortality rate for healthy 84yos? So he was vaccinated. We already know the vaccine doesn't work well, is leaky as shit. The leakiness hasn't changed the narrative and Colin's death won't either.
Delta did, however, announce in August that it would increase health insurance premiums by $200 a month for staff who are not fully vaccinated by November 1.

Radar is not a perfect technology.
And yesterday was a particularly rough day for electronics with the coronal mass ejection reaching the Earth. My docking station flipped out several times yesterday for no good reason, so I'm blaming the CME.
SCOTUS has already ruled that the ability to force a vaccination on a populace is a state power: Jacobson v. Massachusetts. The wording references the state, not the federal government.
The reason the Biden admin is going for the OSHA angle is exactly because of that. However, I'm not sure how OSHA is going to justify forcing vaccination on workers because of work place safety. First, over half the population is unemployed or unemployable. Even during times of full employment only half the population is capable of working. OSHA's requirement of vaccination would not protect workers outside of the work place when the threat is omnipresent. Second, the vaccination is a permanent safety measure with potentially damaging effects that intrude upon workers private lives. Forcing vaccination on workers would be akin to requiring them to wear safety gear 24 hours a day for the rest of their lives to protect "workers". Third, I'm not sure how OSHA is going to argue that the vaccination protects workers when the vaccination loses efficacy over time and does not entirely stop infection or transmission and in some studies it appears the vaccine is beginning to have the opposite effect by increasing a person's ability to be infected.
The three points above, conceived by me a lay person, are probably why OSHA hasn't come out with any regulatory guidance no matter how much the Biden admin bluffs and bullies it's constituency. I can only imagine that lawyers are coming up with even more arguments to blow holes in the Biden's faux authority that it wants to grant itself.
Voluntary genocide. Does freedom know no bounds?
I found this to be an interesting artifact. The post, all comments are posted 1 second ago. I'm sure it's a bug. *raised eyebrow*
You can be sure that if you're working from home on a company laptop that the same thing is happening.
While you can't prohibit the devices from eaves dropping when in use you can prohibit their spying when they're not in use.
If the device has a rj45 jack, hard wire it to your network. Connect and disconnect as needed. Problem solved. Also, most corporate laptops are configured not to sleep when connected to power. Disconnecting them from power will force them into sleep mod. It won't prevent them from periodically waking up, however. My last company's laptop would wake up about ever couple of hours even when unplugged. No idea what it was doing, probably trying to phone home.
If the device only connects wirelessly then you'll need to add MAC address filtering to your router and "permit" only the devices in the MAC address list. Add the device's wifi MAC address to the list. We want to use a permissible MAC filter list instead of a deny list because devices are capable of using randomly generated MAC addresses. There's a convenient setting in Windows 10 just for random MAC address generation. This will mean that every device in your home that is wireless will require you to add it to the list. It's a pain in the ass, but it reasonably ensures the devices don't avoid the next step.
Next we need to configure your router's access control list. Many routers have this feature. It allows you to configure the days and times devices are permitted or denied access to the internet. This list can be configured to deny or permit access using either MAC addresses or IP addresses. I suggest you use MAC address here which is why we configured the MAC filter above.
Another method is to purchase another wifi router specifically for untrusted devices. There's additional benefit here. It will isolate these devices from mapping your home network and you better believe that these devices are mapping your home networks. Some routers also have isolation settings which will prevent connected devices from communicating with other devices on your network. It's a pain in the ass if you have a network printer, but sacrifices. You can turn on/off the router when not needed more or less guaranteeing your untrusted devices don't have internet access.
Now, all of this comes with caveats.
-
All devices are possibly capable of self configuring to MAC addresses that have unrestricted access on your network. They are capable of sniffing your wifi environment and discovering unrestricted devices. Whether the functionality is there is another question. It's all a matter of if they're configured to do so. It is completely possible and therefore probable that they can and will, but unless you're conducting security analysis of your environment you'll never know. I don't even know. I just assume they probably are, but I still take the precautions I've stated above.
-
All devices are capable of accessing 3rd party wireless access points circumventing your wifi security altogether. Again, whether they're doing this takes detailed analysis to discover, moreso that I'm willing to do since I just assume untrusted devices will be configured to do so. Remember when your ISP upgraded your cable modem to include their own access point that you don't have complete control over? Well, why do you think they did that? Could it be to give access to the internet to the internet of things (IoT), all those internet enabled devices like your TV and your smartphone and your IoT toaster, fridge and cloths washer? Maybe and probably. Data is valuable. If you're serious about your home wifi security you'll buy your own cable modem that doesn't have a wireless access point built in. It probably doesn't matter though since your smartphone could be configured to self-configure as a wireless access point without you ever knowing allowing all those IoT devices in your home to phone home their data. Again, only a detailed analysis of your wireless networking environment will allow you to discover such activity. Just assume it happens because it is possible and as cheap as it is to add this functionality to devices it's also probable.
Don't let these caveats make you throw up your hands and not even trying to implement proper security on your own wifi networks, however. I just upgraded my cable television box and I made damn sure I couldn't detect another wifi access point in it before keeping it in my household. I will not tolerate a rogue wireless access point in my household if I can help it. Interestingly enough corporations spend a fair amount of money to make sure no rogue WAPs are on their properties even while trying to fill yours with them. You should probably think about that.
My GP asked if I had gotten the flu shot. I declined to answer the question.
It's sad, but we have come to a point that we must choose which information to give our doctors and which to withhold. As functionaries of a predatory and malicious medical industry they are not to be completely trusted.
My GP's clerical staff also handed me paperwork that asked me psychiatric question with scales of 1 to 10 about how I was feeling. I was half way through filling it out before I came to my senses, folded it up and put it in my pocket. The clerical staff asked for it back. I asked if withholding it would preclude examination and treatment. She said no, so I said she didn't need it. Such documentation can be used for red flag actions against you.

SWAPA is aware of operational difficulties affecting Southwest Airlines today due to a number of issues, but we can say with confidence that our Pilots are not participating in any official or unofficial job actions.
Our Pilots will continue to overcome SWA management’s poor planning, as well as any external operational challenges, and remain the most productive Pilots in the world. They will continue to be focused on their highest priority — safety. SWAPA Pilots are true professionals and will always maintain the highest level of responsibility to their crews, their passengers, and our airline.
That's really weird that weather no one can find, an atc walk out that affected only one airline grounded 2000 SW flights. I just can't even imagine what else could do this other than a strike.
BIL is a truck driver. He drove the I-10/I-75 corridor Saturday, said it was a gorgeous day all day. The weather excuse is bullshit and I'll be surprised if a class action lawsuit doesn't happen because of it.
All I ever wanted from pot was a mellow buzz. The shit now days, I literally can't even enjoy it it's so potent. I miss the old days.
In the current timeline anything is possible.
Except we should be seeing trends that mirror the rest of the world in the data that is available. We're not seeing that, especially in countries that heavily depend upon ivermectin.
I never thought I'd know what it's like to live behind the iron curtain in my life time.
The revolution will not be televised.
Even my neighborhood's facebook is ablaze with conversations about the media blackout.
I did a search for the latest news about what's going on with Southwest and the closest you get to finding information about a strike is "a strike is speculated".......news agencies reporting on the speculation of a strike. Aren't they in the position to ferret out the answer of whether or not a strike is in progress? Can't they literally ask the pilot's union if there is a strike?
No one is interviewing the pilot's union. It's the easiest damn thing to do. And yet as far as the MSM will take it is "speculation". Are you fucking shitting me? God damn I hate this time line.
Yes. You also have a reasonable expectation to anonymity. Depending how old you are you probably never heard of the concept because it's no longer talked about in the world of facial recognition.
Do not let technology's ability to intrude on your privacy and your anonymity to dissuade you from exercising your rights.

Your post would be more effective if it compared covid death rate for the same period. As it isn't really impactful.
OP what are you using to aggregate your news?
