The scuttlebutt I heard is that after too many close contacts, you would get warned. Do it again, you will get fired.

I would have to be near starving to work for them. Not that I goof off, but it is too much monitoring.

"Employees find value in immediate visual feedback"
Right!

The feedback I get is Amazon is stuffing this down the employees throat. Work with this system or hit the bricks.

Because, you know, the chances of getting infected at a distance of six feet and one eight of an inch is zero.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

The fact they've open sourced the code for anyone to use (unless I misread the article) is really scary considering the poison pill here will be so easy for other companies to ~~force down their employees and visitors throats~~ swallow.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

At work there's 2 urinals side by side and 3 shitters in a row. If I can piss on you you're not 6 feet away from me.

Soon enough, we will all be wearing shock collars that zap us if we get too close to another human.

I wonder when we will get the three seashells in the bathroom. Just a matter of time.

Coming soon...Medical access Card (or implant) to prove vaccination (or compliance) just to access anywhere. Then, once inside, if you violate the distances, maybe expelled from that location. Why not double down on their control over you if they can. No thanks.

The government has told us to wear masks.
The government wants us to report others not complying with mask rules.
The government does not want us to congregate.
The government has closed churches and facilities where gathering is possible.
Some in government want to confine the sick to quarantine camps.
Access cards to prove government mandatory vaccinations.

Seig Heil! Seig Heil! Seig Heil!

Funny thing about all of the above; there are certain segments of the population that seem immune to these kinds of restrictions. Inner city savages, antifa mobs, BLM “protests”, etc. This is a “divide and conquer” attack on mainly the middle class- just like everything else going on in the country.
