How are you going to get the very best people to fill those important positions if they know they could face consequences for their actions?

gradenko_2000 posted:can you imagine even a single politician in America, even at the level of City Hall, getting removed from office because "they let COVID cases get too high" The state premier Gladys Berejiklian in NSW Australia (equivalent to a state governor) dragged her feet on locking down when they had a delta outbreak and then decided to open back up when their vaxx rate got to a certain level even though they still had significant case numbers which was completely out of line with how the other states had been reacting to outbreaks, which meant that she pretty much unilaterally opened up the entire country since continuing outbreaks in the other states were absolutely inevitable after that. She was forced to quit politics soon after because of unrelated scandals but the PM then went on to ask her to enter federal politics, and just yesterday there were calls for her to campaign on behalf of the government because their numbers are looking grim as we head into a federal election. If she hadn't been  cancelled and forced out of politics she would have had a rosy political career ahead of her.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladys_Berejiklian#Political_career The news media were working overtime lionizing her while they vilified the state leaders who were insisting on lockdowns and mask mandates https://twitter.com/afrmag/status/1387903018419449864

the reason people care about Ukraine in a way they very much didn’t care about the million dead Americans from covid is that in Ukraine there is a lot of property damage. people only care about property damage. it is why people care about 9/11, because buildings got destroyed, and is why people care about drunk driving, because cars get hurt.

cross-posting from the Eurasia thread: https://twitter.com/kjoules/status/1506114862816309249 as it turns out, Sinovac isn't the sugar-water vaccine that Western media kept portraying it as throughout 2021.

Is anyone else noticing a greater reluctance to close schools and workplaces for inclement weather? Where I live, local meteorologists have predicted heavy rain with potential flooding and even tornadoes this morning. Right now the local traffic reporter is advising people to delay their commute if possible. I had expected my office to send out a closure/delayed opening notice but I'm hearing crickets. I'm wondering if it has something to do with fighting remote work as much as possible.

at the job i just quit i was told they wouldn't approve me working remotely because "other people would notice you are remote and ask to be remote as well" in which my response was "let them?" the next day they instead rolled back their mask mandates and i put in my two weeks

It's very important for everyone to understand anything good about the pandemic was temporary. even if it has been going on for 2 years and it's obvious we could just have it that way forever

I think I'm going to permanently be a PPE squirrel from now on. i actually do this, both with small amounts of cash and ppe. i have a box of auras stashed in my filing cabinet. gas money & a dollar in quarters stashed in my work door badge holder. pretty sure it stems from a childhood friend's hippy mom telling me to stash payphone money in my bra way back in the day. soon ill have to figure out how to stash a full face respirator + filters at work but i have a whole rear end locking filing cabinet in the digital age so i should be able to pull it off

I keep my 3M respirator in the car, and my Honeywell at home I always carry around a box of N95s in my bag, another box in the car, and multiple dozens of masks in a chest-drawer at home and that's on top of maybe two-dozen different ear savers, plus a whole bag full of cloth masks from when I used them in Apr-Jun 2020 because nothing else was available and I haven't the heart to let go of just yet

I wish more parents would file against the department for more covid mitigation, but from what I'm seeing it's the other way around. Edit: To be absolutely clear, I agree with you. I just wish more parents would raise their voice about this because that's the only way to get the schools to do anything about it, in my experience.
