From House GOP would let employers demand workers' genetic test results posted by freeper MarchonDC09122009

the article posted:

A little-noticed bill moving through Congress would allow companies to require employees to undergo genetic testing or risk paying a penalty of thousands of dollars, and would let employers see that genetic and other health information.

Giving employers such power is now prohibited by legislation including the 2008 genetic privacy and nondiscrimination law known as GINA. The new bill gets around that landmark law by stating explicitly that GINA and other protections do not apply when genetic tests are part of a “workplace wellness” program.

Just pretend I put increasing numbers of :tinfoil: between each post in this thread.

quote:

The GOP establishment prove yet again they are no friend of freedom loving conservative minded citizens. This Brave New World bill an Absolute privacy breaching Showstopper! The Republicans we helped sweep into victory approve of employers demanding your genetic data.

We already have no say about how your health info is shared by data brokers share among 8000+ healthcare entities, ie: see how you are exploited at: thedatamap.org

It looks like Comey wasn't kidding when he said matter of factly: "Americans have no Absolute data privacy".

Happy fishbowl everyone...

Gun nerd curiosity here, tried to figure out what he's trying to say. I presume he meant "9mm" since in the US bullet weight is measured in "grains" vice grams.

But assuming he typed it right, 9g is equal to 138.891 grains, which googling tells me you can get 138gr bullets for a .38 Special, or 139gr bullets for the totally unrelated 7mm rifle cartridge. So basically I gave it a good-faith effort but have no idea of the specifics of this man's anonymous threat.

.38 special will do the job just as well as a 9mm. But unless he's just lost his marbles, or is using some archaic form of bullet measurement, he seems to be talking out his rear end. Could be all three.

Grams would be a *less* archaic method of measuring bullet weight; the "grains" that Americans still weigh bullets by are the kind of measurement you'd use in an apothecary in 1863 to measure out opium for a woman with hysteria. This is the US, we just need to be thankful that we aren't buying milk by the 1/79th hogshead.

For a while you could buy really cheap Russian surplus bolt-action rifles for like $75 or less, and the really old ones from pre-1917 had their sights denominated in "arshins" (28 inches or 71.1cm) so you got to do some fun mental math trying to figure out how to sight in your rifle for a given range.

THOSE people don’t care all that much about the horror of government in healthcare. They DO care that their premiums went up. They don’t care about this supposed imperative of pure conservatism that lets insurance companies exclude pre-ex conditions. They DO care about that and don’t want that. They aren’t hard core conservatives. They are just people who’ve been screwed.

So there ain’t gonna be some philosophical ooooh I must be conservative plan that doesn’t have some premium subsidy in it. Or some prohibition of excluding pre-ex conditions. The voters that he flipped don’t want that purity.

They see everything he does that pisses his/their enemies off as being good, completely ignoring any possible downside. They want an angry man to destroy the government, because they've been told for decades that the government is the problem, and they are outraged that the GOP doesn't obey their every insane whim so the GOP must also be destroyed.

Look at that post and then look at all the giant WTFs they had in reaction to the healthcare bill, the one that Trump has said over and over, loudly, that he wants and supports. Most were in complete and total denial and they hopped straight into bargaining with "he'll listen to us!" I predict that if this bill gets passed by the House and Senate that Trump will sign it, and they will still love him for it despite the fact that the bill is designed to target and destroy the healthcare of the freeper demographic.

Trump is trying to kill the freepers, and they are supporting him in that effort.

Trump has proven a million times, in a million different ways, that he can't be trusted. He's changed his decision on every position he's ever had, hosed over nearly every person he's ever met. His business dealings alone should disqualify him 100% regarding trust, not to mention his personal relationships.

But no, this guy is sure. This Donald dude, he's totally legit. No joke, 100%

It'll be before then. Losing is the surest sign of RINO-dom, with flouting the hivemind on some element as a second option. If Trump is pulled down by scandal, the Freep reaction will flip to "no true conservative" as soon as it becomes inevitable. How could we have known? He was such a smooth salesman and there were no warning signs.

In the more likely event that he isn't impeached and doesn't resign, Freep will still turn on him inevitably; hate is all they can manage as a collective. It won't be the first one, but the second or third big thing he signs off on (healthcare, a budget, infrastructure bills, not actually condemning gays to camps, etc), they'll turn on him as a conman big government stooge because he isn't destroying the federal government and as bad as any other uniparty punk.


It'll be before the end of this year, but probably late.

Yep. The elite sodomites (homomafia) want the masses to be slaves-—ignorant, irrational, immoral people. Without Virtue formation in children, freedom is impossible.

We have allowed our edukation system to destroy virtue formation in children and normalize ignorance (lies), irrational concepts and perversions, like Slavery is Freedom and Boys are Girls— a Marxist radical egalitarianism where Evil is Good and all humans are interchangeable drones. All this is to collapse civilization so the NWO can progress.

They want to recreate the Rites of Ba’al, where sex with children and babies is the same as with adults (radical egalitarism). Sodomy of little boys and babies has been the endgame, since the Christians took over the pagan practices of Nero and Caligula (transvestites and sodomites who castrated the little boys). That “culture” of radical egalitarianism and irrationality (insanity actually) is what they are trying to normalize so a few elites can control and cull the masses and use any of the little children for their own lusts. Total degenerates. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Banks in the 1990's were coerced into giving risky mortgages... or face discrimination suits from Congress. They did so, after much protest. Congress then allowed them to package subprime loans and resell them, assuring them that the Feds will back them.

Then, right on cue before the 2008 election, everyone decides there's not enough money to cover all those bad loans.

Then Obama comes along and sues the banks for doing what they were forced by the government to do.

There's definitely been a lot more infighting in the past couple of days. What I think is happening is that Trump’s support of the AHCA has shaken a lot of Freepers. They're used to having a consistent narrative but with this they're having everyone from Breitbart to JimRob that this is bad and must be stopped while Trump is them it's good and must be passed. Freepers are not used to dealing with this kind of mixed messaging and have no idea how to react and are taking it out on one another.

Unfortunately, I think these rumblings that Trump is going to push for a faster end to Medicaid will cause Freep to align behind him again. When it inevitably fails (either doesn't get added to the bill, or does and kills it in the Senate as a result) they'll say that Trump tried and blame the RINOs for its failure.
