Trums bans all immigration to the USA
They’re not all worker drones. Many own small businesses and have employees that depend on them.People in the US right now are protesting for the right to go back to slaving away so they can make people like Bezos even more obscenely wealthy whilst risking their own health.
A video message from Jacinda Ardern.......NZ's PM.
I must confess.....it feels unscripted..........( I have no idea if there's a teleprompter in her bedroom) LOL.........but ..........I like the way she seemed accessible, warm, but factual.
but, on the plus side, one of the longest global or large-scale shootin' war-free periods in history,
America has been in 19 conflicts since World War II, not exactly a peaceful period.
During this Covid shutdown an environmental menace is making a big comeback - the single use plastic bag. I have noticed my garbage cart is full of plastic bags and plastic wrapping. Stores are using more plastic now than they ever have. Most major grocery chains and even my local corner store has banned reusable bags, the cashier kicked a guy out of the store the other day for walking in with rusable bags.
Plastic bags are making a comeback because of COVID-19
Plastic bag bans are on pause.www.theverge.com
1) That makes no sense
2) No evidence whatsoever of tangible risk of transmission from reusuable bags.
3) A German study suggests virtually no transmissiblity from objects. They tested all sorts of public surfaces including door-knobs/handles and couldn't even find a trace of Covid.
Leading German virologist: “So far, no transmission of the virus in supermarkets, restaurants or hairdressers has been proved.”
RTL Today joined a press conference of virologist Hendrik Streeck on Tuesday and here we provide a recap of his key statements.today.rtl.lu
4) Sobeys doesn't even have plastic bags, only paper and re-usable.
5) LCBO, and other stores have only suggested that if you bring a re-usable you should expect to do your own bagging. Which while not supported by the evidence is fine with me as precautionary principle/being seen as a decent employer.
