Considering all the school shootings they have to do something. I legit think one of these f'n idiots will do something at some point. I hope she does keep her kids out of school. Obviously they won't end up being much use in society either.LordMortis wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 11:59 am

Re: The Politics of Covid 19, mask wearing and the vaccination process
Technically correct but still wrong.
I will bring every single gun loaded and ready to...I will call every... (cut off)
Note she didn't quote that for a reason. She was just expounding on the obvious implication that any reasonable person will take to that statement.That was an inference to excite the twitter reader. She said guns loaded and then was cut off, it's very easy to say that's a figure of speech.
This makes no sense. You can't go to a meeting with anyone, anywhere, and say something isn't going to happen and then follow it up that you'll be ready with loaded weapons. What is the purpose of bringing a loaded gun to oppose something you say won't happen? That is a threat that will be taken very seriously nearly anywhere - even in this blasted land. I say this in all seriousness because it just happened to my wife. The police (and luckily her employer) took that sort of implicit threat of violence very seriously.If it were airport, I can see her being arrested no question asked.

Right or wrong (it's wrong at schools but that's just me and 200,000,000 people who feel this way) people use "Guns loaded" "Loaded for Bear" "guns blazing" etc all of the time as expressions.

I can tell you if a parent uttered the expression "guns loaded" at my wife's school, action would be taken. It may be dismissed as a figure of speech in some parts of the country, but here that would not fly.
I think they cut the woman off to save her from the trouble she was about to get herself into.

I think saying that she was going to bring loaded guns and see you on Monday is more than enough. I mean they will have to have police on site Monday unless they are insane.

Re: The Politics of Covid 19, mask wearing and the vaccination process
I'm wondering about confirmation bias here, but dear lord, what a doozy:
Results
Of the study sample, 17.2% (N = 1842) indicated they were hesitant about having the vaccine. After adjustment for age, sex, and ethnicity, study members with a lower baseline cognition score were markedly more likely to be vaccine hesitant (odds ratio per standard deviation lower score in cognition; 95% confidence interval: 1.76; 1.62, 1.90). Adjustment for mental and physical health plus household shielding status had no impact on these results, whereas controlling for educational attainment led to partial attenuation but the probability of hesitancy was still elevated (1.52; 1.37, 1.67). There was a linear association for vaccine hesitancy across the full range of cognition scores (p for trend: p < 0.0001).
Black Lives definitely Matter Lorini!

Re: The Politics of Covid 19, mask wearing and the vaccination process
What's weird is she was apparently seen dining in NYC over the weekend and in order to do so, she would have needed to present COVID-19 vaccination documentation. So either she handed over fake paperwork or (hear me out) she's actually vaccinated and lying about it to her fan-base.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Re: The Politics of Covid 19, mask wearing and the vaccination process
She's in New York for some lawsuit or other and dined at Elio's. NYC has a vaccine mandate for dining. Either Elio's wasn't checking, in violation of city ordinance or Palin presented false proof of vaccination which I believe is a federal crime.
Edit: Smoove beat me to it and added the 3rd, and very possible option.

There's a pretty decent number who won't fight a mandate but will only get it if mandated.

I'm waiting for marching orders for shot number 4. I anticipate our "surge" has another two months+ to go and with all the talk about waning immunities and Omicron resistance the Pfizer vax, and my last shot was in August/September, I think... A couple days after Ralph Wiggum when he said immuno suppressed people were given the green light and he had already got his.

Re: The Politics of Covid 19, mask wearing and the vaccination process
OSHA is withdrawing it's mandate and going about it through the Rule Making process. Given the likelihood that COVID is here long term, this is probably a good plan. But I suspect much tumult at my workplace when they learn of this.
But that doesn't mean OSHA is giving up entirely. In addition to the law that enables the agency to issue temporary emergency standards, Congress has given OSHA the statutory ability to set workplace safety standards through the standard federal rule-making process. This process involves publishing draft rules in the Federal Register, soliciting public feedback, and formulating a formal rule taking that feedback into account.
The process is much slower and will likely take most of the year to complete. But, critically, the language of the law enabling this process is completely different, so the recent court ruling will not apply to it. That's not to say that the same justices won't find different reasons to block the rule, just it's more likely to survive than the emergency standard, given the recent decision.
In the meantime, the OSHA's statement on the matter ends by noting the agency, "strongly encourages vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by COVID-19 in the workplace."
