USA : #Covidiot#NewYork Bar Owner refuses to close under State Law, fined, loses liquor licence, continues to open and serve alcohol, then as he's arrested he drives his car into a cop, causing serious injury.
A High School Principal gave every student - close to 500 of them - a blue balloon and told them to write their name on it them blow it up. They were then collected and dumped in this corridor.
At this point, the photo was taken.
He told the students to find their own balloon.
After a hour, only 19 of students had done so.
And it was complete chaos.
THEN he told the students to file into the corridor one by one, grab ANY balloon, head out to the car park and find the PERSON whose name was on the balloon.
After 23 minutes, every student had their balloon back.
Received an interesting email today. This was the “header“ in my email inbox. If you saw this, you’d react instantly to it wouldn’t you?
@jdpoc Turns out of course it was just another begging letter from Republicans in America. I get these because I want to donated $1 to a #Trump PAC to see what they were posting out. Little did I know I’d end up getting 30 emails a day.
@jdpoc But what is interesting is the misrepresentation in the header, the suggestion that I have a “membership“ and indeed an “account number“.
Due to 'unexpected flooding' 'unspecified unforeseen delays' and 'engineering challenges' the main Kent Lorry Park for post-#Brexit Customs clearances will not be ready for operations until end of February or early March. (Local Kent source)
Multiple sources on this, by way, from local community, several engineers on site, contractors, local estate agents (handling rental of properties to the engineers and expected Customs Staff) and a Kent Messenger journo.
It's a puzzle why the Tory-leaning KM haven't run it yet.
On-site engineers have said that they expect "probably next week" to be told to focus on getting *one part* of the site operational in time, about 1/3rd of the total acreage, to at least be able to claim 'It's up and running."
The potential use of O365 as an employee surveillance tool is substantially true.
It's a feature that has to be switched on and set up correctly to function, which smaller businesses will either have no ability to do so - or will have to bring in a contractor to set up.
Larger companies will have their own IT section to set it up, but it's in a grey area as to it's legality. (It's apparently legal in USA, unsure of status in UK)
I'm advised that it will be "contrary to work contracts and working arrangements" UNLESS permission is obtained.
A failing #Brexit has so far cost us the equivalent of the total of every payment we've made, ever, to the EU, since we joined.
Some economic comparisons: (2)
A failed Track&Trace / Test&Trace has cost us the equivalent of four aircraft carriers.

An already-failing #Moonshot#Vaccine scheme will cost more than our entire annual Education Budget and is based on technology that has yet to be invented.
