Priorities

Yesterday, The DFL-controlled Minnesota House announced that it will be conducting it’s 2022 session under the same, Covid-addled rules that they used last session.

Committee meetings via zoom, State office is closed to constituents, etc., etc.

But not everything is closed:

Clearly, all those masks stop the spread enough to do the important stuff, I guess:

The right constituent can still get face-to-face.The right constituent can still get face-to-face.

  3. My, my, my.
    From the official OSHA covid vax FAQ:

    Are adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log?

    DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination at least through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.

  4. Let me explain how stupid the OSHA decision to suspend normal procedures and not require employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccinations.
    First, they are not suspending employer requirements to report vax side effects, they are suspending the employer requirement to record vax side effects.
    This amounts to throwing away data that you don’t want to see.
    This is not science, this is not good public policy. This is an attempt to control a narrative which OSHA has no skill in determining is true.
    OSHA iews its mission as pushing the vax on people, not pushing it on them in a safe manner. If half of workers died after getting the jab, as far as OSHA is concerned, they have done a fine job. They’ll all want performance bonuses.
    And this gives anti-vaxxers a huge talking point.
    Another unforced error by Team Biden.
    And it ain’t going to get better. A fish rots from the head, this is all Biden, that’s why things started going so bad immediately after he sworn in.

  5. Crooners sounds like a good place to try and book Elephant in the Room.

    Haven’t been there in years, but it would be.

    Bernardy is a very loyal apparatchik, by the way.

  6. MP, I don’t believe Biden is behind all this insanity; he wasn’t smart, or evil enough to do this when he was in his prime. He is being sent out with orders from headquarters.

    Who’s in charge? I suspect every midlevel nitwit in DC has a hand in there. It’s got all the earmarks of a fucking leftist free for all.

  7. BPCT, in my opinion Jill Biden is acting as Joe’s gatekeeper, determining who can and cannot see him, and what he can and cannot be told. I suspect that she is also overseeing his medical care. Jill Biden’s politics are far to the left of Joe’s, about what you would expect for a community college education teacher.
    Biden doesn’t talk much about his health. He is not often asked about it by the press.
    Supposedly he is thinking about getting a physical some time this year.
    This is total bullshit.
    Biden turns 79 next month. How many people who are 79 years old do you know who get away with a a simple annual physical? The man has a history of brain aneurysms, and at one point during a dem debate last year one of his eyes filled with blood. Unlike Trump, Biden’s public appearances tend to be no later than the afternoon. Ever heard of “sundowning’?
    There are big Dem donors who are into Biden for millions of $. No reasonable person believes that no one is tending his health on at least a weekly basis.

  8. MP, I don’t think the eminence grise running the country is one person; its a consortium of players with different agendas. The unifying factor is none of them have America’s best interests at heart, and many are actively working to destroy it.

  9. The idea that masking and social distancing mandates prevent or slow the spread of covid is a myth.
    The MN GOP should take a stand and refuse to arrend sessions. That would deny a quorum in the senate and stop MN state government in its tracks. Walz and the DFL would cave.
    If you play by their rules, you will lose, so don’t play by their rules.
