Side story:
In the school district where I work all employees are now required to be vaccinated or take a weekly test.
Our district hired a nurse to do weekly testing in the district main office to any employees that were not vaccinated.
The day before we were to begin testing the state informed us we are not allowed to test on our own premises.
Employees must schedule their own covid test on their own time. It also must be the full long nasal test (not the outer swap or spit test).
So now we have lots of bus drivers, food service workers, and maintenance staff who will resign since they don’t have the time, money or transportation to get their own weekly tests.
Something is amiss in the world right now. It really seems like plans, expectations, regulations are constantly shifting ….almost like by design to cause systems/organizations to fail.
Sorry for long comment just frustrated on the shifting protocols and shifting narratives.
- chrismcb 5y agoThe brilliant thing about this strategy is you have a bunch of unvaccinated people who probably aren't infected and a bunch of vaccinated people who have a larger likelihood of being infected
- the_third_wave 5y ago> It really seems like plans, expectations, regulations are constantly shifting ….almost like by design to cause systems/organizations to fail. James Lindsay - of the hoax grievance studies [0] fame - talks about this in a lengthy series of netcasts [1] based around Herbert Marcuse's "An essay on liberation" [2]. According to his explanation these irrational and often counterproductive policies are part of an attempt to provide the conditions which would enable the creation of a new society based on "stakeholder capitalism" along the lines of Schwab's "Fourth Industrial Revolution" [3]. Read the essay - it is quite dense - and listen to Lindsay's thoughts on what Marcuse means to current affairs. Do it in that order to make sure you know what he is talking about, he sometimes stumbles over sentences and does not really know the German language at all while the original is written in that language and this translation still contains a number of German words. Form your own conclusion as to whether Lindsay is right in seeing Marcuse's take on the future of Marxist ideology reflected in current affairs.
