You’re probably right about Amazons stipulations but I would never own or work for such a company. With only one customer you practically invite this sort of thing.

^^^^^^^ My recently deceased best friend was a fuel delivery driver for the largest truck stop operator in the USA.

Not only was there a camera in the truck, there were actually 2, at least.

One camera was aimed forward to show what was happening in front of the rig, such as a possible accident or whatever.

Another camera was aimed directly at the drivers face. Read that again, aimed at the drivers face.

To top it all off, there was also a microphone that recorded everything that was said.

Not only were you video recorded, anything and everything you said was recorded.

All of these things were continuously sent from the truck to a collection location where they were archived and listened to. Trigger words brought quick attention.

His very first objection was about his personal privacy. He often made phone calls to his doctor, bank, financial advisor, etc etc etc.
He was told that the listing location (India I think) was totally trustworthy and for him not to worry about it.

Yeah. Pretty sobering, huh.

We all have choices to make when selecting an employer/vocation.

Plenty of places to make a living as a professional driver right now where one call tell their employer what the rules will be and how much they will be paid.

Alex Berenson’s take on NY:

New York declares a health-care state of emergency over a Covid variant that doesn’t exist in the state
Guess what’s actually causing the crisis? Hint: it rhymes with “vaccine schmandate.”


Now this is a lie so brazen even Andrew Cuomo might hesitate to tell it.

New York’s new and unimproved governor, Kathy Hochul, last seen telling you to Get Vaxxed For Jesus (I kid you not), has now declared a “state of emergency” that will allow Health Department bureaucrats to block “non-urgent” medical procedures at hospitals. Because who needs a colonoscopy, anyway?

Hochul says the Xi - I mean Omicron, definitely not Xi! - variant is behind the emergency.

Oh...I'm sure our Harris County "Judge", the immature, ignorant, moronic, Leftist Progressive, Lena Hildago would try to one-up Hochul if she could. Thank the good Lord Gov. Abbott has pretty much put the kibosh on what that idiot has control to do with respect to the Scamdemic.

BTW...that position, though entitled with "Judge", has ZERO requirement to know the law in any form, depth, or fashion. It's just the Texas historical name given that position from way back when. I personally wish they would change the title to eliminate the term "Judge".

White Smoke Emanates From Wuhan Lab Chimney Signaling A New Variant Has Been Named



WUHAN—Thousands gathered outside the Wuhan Institute of Virology with faces of anxious anticipation over the weekend, as rumors had been circulating that a new COVID-19 variant would soon be named. The hopeful pilgrims' hours of waiting were not in vain. Cheers erupted as white smoke began pouring out of the chimney early Sunday morning, signaling the creation and naming of a new COVID-19 variant.

"It was a lively debate," said one source from inside the Wuhan lab. "Yuhang suggested we just keep following the Greek alphabet and name it Xi. We haven't heard from him in a few days, come to think of it."

"Nu" was also floated as a possibility, but scientists wanted to avoid the stigma of being associated with nu-metal, generally acknowledged as the worst musical genre on the planet. One guy kept wanting to call it "The One-Der Variant" but this was confusing as everyone kept pronouncing it as Oh-NEE-der instead of Wonder. Finally, there was a last-ditch effort to name it the Trump variant, but this was finally defeated in favor of the safer "Omicron variant" according to sources within the lab.

After the celebration died down, the pilgrims shuffled away, their faces full of cheer. But they'll be back in a few weeks for the next one.

Coming to a State near you?

Officials in Mississippi say a new digital identification program will be available in the state as early as next month. The mobile ID can contain the user’s driver’s license and coronavirus vaccination card.

"He says “From a law enforcement perspective, it will allow a law enforcement officer approaching the car to interact via Bluetooth with that phone so that they can know exactly who they’re dealing with before they even get to the car. And I think that’s a great feature for law enforcement, and it would be able to be utilized for any lawful purchase that you could otherwise use a regular ID.”

Omicron Is "Extremely Mild" Says Doctor Who First Discovered Strain As Numerous Mutations "Destabilize" The Virus

https://www.zerohedge.com/covi...n-numerous-mutations

Then this morning, the Pretoria doctor who first sounded the alarm about the new strain and who is a Covid-19 adviser to the South Africa government said that symptoms linked to the omicron coronavirus variant have been mild so far.

Contrary to the panicmongering unleashed by western mainstream median, Barry Schoub, chairman of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines, told Sky News on Sunday that while South Africa, which first identified the new variant, currently has 3,220 people with the coronavirus infection overall and while the variant does appear to be spreading rapidly, there’s been no real uptick in hospitalizations

As is the case when factual data begins rolling in from actual reputable scientific minds around the world such as Israel, England, etc, the charlatans here in the states will paint the mild variant as somehow to be greatly feared to ramp up the panic machine. Gotta sell those $100 dollar boosters and get those cut little needles in infant arms!

Fauci in fact says Americans should be prepared to do “anything and everything” to combat omicron. I swear, if I ever manage to somehow see this pos on the street, I won’t be able to control the urge to break his nose.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/...omicron-variant.html

Americans need to be prepared to do "anything and everything" to fight the omicron Covid variant, U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.

Still, it's "too early to say" whether lockdowns or new mandates will be appropriate, Fauci said on ABC's "This Week."

The World Health Organization last week classified omicron as a "variant of concern," meaning it is more contagious, more virulent or more skilled at evading public health measures, vaccines and therapeutics.

The variant, first discovered in South Africa, has several mutations to the spike protein that allows the virus to enter the body, and some of those mutations could lead to increased antibody resistance and transmissibility.

The U.S. had already said it would restrict travel for non-U.S. citizens from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi. The variant has been found in the U.K., Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Australia and Hong Kong, but not yet in the U.S.

"Inevitably, it will be here. The question is will we be prepared for it? If and when, and it's going to be when, it comes here hopefully we will be ready for it," Fauci added.

Fauci will be meeting Sunday with President Joe Biden and the Covid response team to discuss the variant and the administration's response, a White House official said.

Biotech companies have sprung into action to fight against omicron. Moderna's Chief Medical Officer Paul Burton said Sunday the vaccine maker could roll out a reformulated vaccine against the omicron coronavirus variant early next year. Although it's not clear whether new formulations will be needed or if current vaccines will provide appropriate protection.

Fauci said unvaccinated people should still get available Covid vaccinations, per the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"We just really need to, as I've said so often, prepare for the worst. And it may not be that we're going to have to go the route people are saying," Fauci told ABC. "We'll make decisions based on the science and evidence as we always do."

A really mild variant of covid that spreads like wildfire might be nature's vaccine.

Yes, the new variant is much milder. And someone must have removed the letter "r".

Evolutionarily speaking it makes sense for viruses to become less virulent. Killing your host isn’t the best strategy for replication and spreading.

Perhaps the medical folks can explain how the same variant can show up on multiple continents at once. If there is only 1 path for mutation then whats the big concern?

Para-
Can we start a Sig Forum "Coronavirus" Pool?

$50 for a square - what country the next variant comes from.

Another $50 for the week that the next variant comes out.

At least we can make some money off of this bullshit! Wink
