Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Also, cross-posting from my Secret Satan post, since it's a current event:

Duzzy Funlop posted:

Due to sea-freight being turbo-hosed, half the world has been scrambling to send interim-shipments via air-freight to avoid stockouts due to delayed sea-freight, and this has already brought some of the European hubs to the breaking point, nevermind the customs offices attached to them.

Current standing advice to suppliers shipping to Europe is to avoid Frankfurt airport AT ALL COSTS.

And we're still more than a month and a half away from Christmas.

Sea-freight to the US is already extremely hosed due to the already existing strain on the supply chain being strained by the COVID-aftershocks, and the looming longshoremen-strike last month had tons of suppliers switch to air-freight relief shipments to the US as well.
Now, without having a complete understanding of US air-freight logstics/the US-intermodal supply chain, I kinda assume relief/replacement-shipments via air to the US will not create the same chaos they've created in Europe (due to cargo flights probably having more potential destinations in the US), I assume the customs offices will be just as hosed as they are over here, because lol government etc.

European logistics are going to turn into an absolute clusterfuck this year, same for the rest of the world probably. If you absolutely, positively are looking to order something for Christmas that you've been eyeballing, don't wait for Black Friday or holiday sales or whatever, order it now.

We've been in a post-truth society for quite a few years now, it's just that facebook and other poo poo turbocharged the distribution. And yet somehow, we came up with vaccines within a year for a virus humans had never encountered before. We contain multitudes.

Also, we've had two voters in 20 minutes for this municipal election. This 14-hour day might drag a bit!

I was at polling places putting up signs for our non-insane school board candidates this morning and caught the poll workers dragging in at 5:30. I'm guessing we'd get a ton more poll workers if it was two shifts instead of "share this room with strangers, half of whom hate you, for 14 goddamn hours."

Yeah that's a solid point, but I do get $245 for the whole day ($195 for non-pandemic times). I think it's handled that way because a shitload of workers nationwide just don't show up or go randomly missing through the day.

So far, around here: GOMOR with separation processing to follow. Those with special conditions are in a wait status and probably get one last chance to get the vaxx without a GOMOR if their exemptions are formally denied.

The primary reasons folks are not done with vaccinations is either waiting on shot 1 timeout so they can get shot 2, a rare incidence like they’ve been in the hospital with an unrelated condition for weeks/months, they’ve been assigned to Nowhere Island on some weird assignment without medical support, or they’re in line for an exemption response. Several exemption packets have come back denied, while others are still being processed.

I forgot to sign up to be a poll watcher this year. Not gonna lie though, I'm not missing the old dudes shouting election conspiracies at me for half the day, and with the way school board elections are shaping up, I feel like an inordinate amount of time would be dedicated to chasing off dudes trying to campaign in the parking lot.

I haven't been paying attention but I'm surprised I haven't heard comparisons between the covid vax and the anthrax series of 17~ years ago. I'm sure some idiot is clamoring somewhere thinking "the anthrax vax was made optional and this will be too" but I haven't heard it yet.

real talk from a car parts plant in SC: we started giving a $100 straight cash bonus for proof of vaccination back in march and are still below a 40% take rate as of thursday

Currently we're at a 60% response rate with the vast majority reporting vaccinated. There is apparently a subset of unvaxed who said they'll get the thing if we require it but haven't felt the need to because they're full time remote, which is just :psyduck:

The whole thing doesn't make any sense. Jr has been dead for 20~ years. The anniversary of the assassination is 20 days away. And why would Jr appear on the grassy hill instead of from the book repository window, or just in the middle of the road in a convertible Continental? Wouldn't it be more logical that he appear in the ocean off the coast of New England? Flying a ghost plane?

On top of that, the whole dead lib son of a dead lib (for the time) president to join forces with trump to own the libs? What?
