The post office was dismantled right in front of us, while the people dismantling it told us "we're dismantling the post office lol", and nothing was done.

Puerto Rico’s USPS is like months backlogged on sorting and their main facility in San Juan had to be temporarily closed a month ago because structural damage from Maria got bad enough to make the floor literally unstable.

also there’s no one working because the pay is poo poo and everyone is hosed from covid

I can cherrypick too ya know

Increasing social welfare spending may as well be as feasible as terraforming Mars, both are equally as plausible in this reality

So I asked this the other day but it got buried amidst the CDC news drop; I have a friend in the UK who's ready to join the elastomeric elite but as I am an Amerigoon, the website I have used in the past is not really viable for them to order from due to S&H. What's a good online retailer for folks in perfidious Albion to order their respirators from?

It rules getting forced into overtime every day and ordered in on my off days

Rules even more that some carriers have been on leave for most of this year due to refusing to mask our get vaccinated

Rules the most that like ten people in the whole station wear masks even though it's re-mandated

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.

on the one hand we just had our first 20-something die https://vtdigger.org/2021/09/01/vermont-reports-first-covid-death-of-person-in-their-20s/

here's the story from our local CBS affil https://www.wcax.com/2021/08/31/vermont-covid-rates-trending-down/

quote:

State health officials believe these numbers will start dropping based on the rate of weekly case growth. It was increasing in July and early August but is now trending lower over the last three weeks.

Another reason that cases are up is that testing is up. Back in July, fewer than 10,000 tests were being administered each week. This past week it was nearly 42,000 -- a 54% increase over the previous week. That’s why health officials point to the positivity rate -- which has now fallen back to 2.3% after cresting around at over 3% earlier in the month.

And while there do continue to be breakthrough cases, the rate of infection for unvaccinated people is significantly higher than the rate for vaccinated people. And the number of vaccinations is still on the rise -- 2761 shots last week -- bringing the total to 474,000 Vermonters who have received at least one dose, or 86.1% percent.

The governor continues to focus on the 76,000 thousand eligible Vermonters who are still not vaccinated.



Hopium until I see real data otherwise; we'll know in 3 weeks. Note that this proclamation was made a day after schools opened.

i am being told the data is showing delta has peaked and the curve is flattening. my only response is that the data is hosed. testing is way different than previous. many many vaxxed asymptomatic superspreaders + schools reopening. let alone to discuss how the way things are reported it will always look like we're "turning a corner"

it's so reassuring to look at a graph the slope of which is rounding out.

shouting “go home, you’re obviously sick and not all of us are YET.” has proven surprisingly effective. stay in your cube, don’t bother making a scene, just holler from your workstation. make it uncomfortable.
