MEME: EDST or EST rather than GMT all the time

Monday, March 13, 2023

EDST

Since “Time of Day” is just a label, why isn’t everywhere on GMT (for example)? Does it really matter if a business hours are 9 to 5 or 1400 to 2200! I don’t think so. As someone who had to work with people in different time zones, (and in one job supervise people around the globe), scheduling “thru” time zones was a mess. There’s a reason the military use Zulu (aka GMT) for all orders. Sigh!

POLITICAL: January 6th was a “tour” or entrpament; not an insurection

January 6 Video: Capitol Police Were ‘Tour Guides’ for ‘Q Shaman’
Joel B. Pollak  — 7 Mar 2023132

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 6: Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley, known as the QAnon Shaman, is seen at the Capital riots. On January 9, Chansley was arrested on federal charges of “knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct …

IMHO all those folks were “lured” into a Democratic trap to discredit DJT45 and misdirect “We, The Sheeple” from the election frauds.

Immediately all those convicted of these bogus charges should be immediately exonerated.  And, all those involved in the conspiracy to make this happen should be immediately arrested and tried.

Why didn’t these defendants have these videos at their trials?  Any of the prosecuting lawyers should be disbarred!

Argh!

VETERANS: A tremendous descritpion of what the naval veterans on both sides expereinces

How the Battle of Surigao Strait Brought Revenge for Pearl Harbor

  • At the Battle of Surigao Strait, a line of American battleships, raised from the mud of Pearl Harbor, decimated a Japanese task force.

This article appears in: December 2008
By David Alan Johnson

*** begin quote ***

At 2:43 pm on October 24, 1944, one day before the Battle of Surigao Strait, Rear Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf received a dispatch from Vice Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, commander of the Central Philippines Attack Force. The message was straightforward and direct: “Prepare for night engagement,” and was duly logged aboard Oldendorf’s flagship, the heavy cruiser USS Louisville. Admiral Oldendorf, commander of the Leyte invasion fire support warships, was not surprised by the order. Naval intelligence had already been apprised of the fact that a Japanese force was on its way toward Leyte Gulf

*** end quote ***

I can’t imagine the terror that these men suffered through.  A tremendous loss of life is just sad.

I assume that FDR, and all the politicians and bureaucrats of Japan and USA, bear a heavy share of the blame for these deaths and injuries. 

So sad. And, so wasteful.

POLITICAL: Mandatory mental competency test for politicians — s great idea for ALL of them regardless of age!

Jill Biden calls it ‘ridiculous’ that Nikki Haley wants to impose mandatory mental competency test for politicians older than 75 as Joe, 80, weighs launching 2024 reelection bid

  •     Nikki Haley wants politicians over 75 to take mental competency evaluations 
  •     First lady Jill Biden said her husband would ‘never’ consider taking such a test
  •     Joe Biden would be 82 for inauguration if reelected and Trump would be 78

Jill Biden is pushing back on GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, for proposing that all politicians over the age of 75 be required to take a mental competency test to qualify to serve in public office.

I don’t see what the problem is.  

If fact, I like it for ALL politicians.

Maybe John Fetterman from PA isn’t fit to serve regardless of age.

RANT: Isn’t this like slavery or indentured servitude?

 JPMorgan Chase ‘requires its tech workers give 6 months’ notice before they quit’
By Ariel Zilber — March 3, 2023 12:08pm Updated

*** begin quote ***

A veteran JPMorgan Chase banker fumed over the financial giant’s policy requiring staffers to give six months’ notice before being allowed to leave for another job.

The Wall Street worker, who claims to earn around $400,000 annually in total compensation after accumulating 15 years of experience, griped that the lengthy notice period likely means a lucrative job offer from another company will be rescinded.

Taking to the social media platform Blind — which allows career professionals anonymity so that they can freely post without concern about retribution from their bosses — the worker in the e-trade division lamented over the policy.

*** end quote ***

Seems like this is a form of slavery.  Even if a well compensated form of it.  I can understand wanting to protect your business but it’s a fact of life that every night your most important asset walks out the door.  

A six month notice requirement is different IMHO than a noncompete clause.  One “indentures” you; the other just limits where you can go.

I would assume that if one litigated this, the courts would see it as slavery. 

Of course, that assumes you can get “justice” in a Gooferment court, when Big Business owns so many politicians and bureaucrats.

Argh!

GOVERNACIDE: Does the EPA demonstrate “willful ignorence”?

Here’s the real reason the EPA doesn’t want to test for toxins in East Palestine

Stephen Lester

  • The agency is familiar with dioxins, having researched its adverse effects, and if they test the soil in East Palestine for it, they will find it

Thu 2 Mar 2023 09.00 EST

*** begin quote ***

The most toxic form of dioxin is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or TCDD. TCDD is more commonly recognized as the toxic contaminant found in Agent Orange and at Love Canal, New York and Times Beach, Missouri, both sites of two of the most tragic environmental catastrophes in US history.

*** and ***

This is important because of the adverse health effects associated with exposure to dioxins. Exposure to dioxins can cause cancer, reproductive damage, developmental problems, type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, infertility in adults, impairment of the immune system and skin lesions.

The EPA is very familiar with dioxins. For more than 25 years, the agency evaluated and assessed the risks posed by exposure to dioxins. They published multiple draft reports on the health effects caused by exposure to dioxins. They published an inventory of dioxin sources and devoted an enormous amount of time to studying dioxins. The agency knows this chemical very well.

So why is EPA unwilling to test for dioxins in the soil? My guess is because they know they will find it. And if they find it, they’ll have to address the many questions people are asking. It will not be easy to interpret the results of the testing for dioxins in soil, but to avoid testing is irresponsible. The EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment. Clearly the situation in East Palestine is the place where EPA should follow its mission and do right by the people who live in this town. EPA must test the soil in East Palestine for dioxins.

Time for the politicians and bureaucrats to get serious about protecting the public. (Like that ever mattered to them.). If they don’t, time to force them out and make them get jobs IRL!

INNOVATION: Why can’t air tags be put in a shoe?

Monday, March 6, 2023

I wonder when someone in the shoe business gets the bright idea to enable shoes for children and mentally disabled adults to have an Apple Air Tag or Tile Tracker to be inserted?  Then when someone goes missing, they can be quickly found.  Seems like an easy design change.  I was thinking about cutting the heel of a sneaker, hollowing out “cave”, putting an Air Tag in, and the epoxy the cut.  I was concerned that it might make the shoe uncomfortable.  I’m going to wait for him to outgrow his current pair and has a new pair ready to put into service. Then do a human factors test,  Laugh!

Found an interesting report of doing this exact idea.
