United Airlines is facing two separate lawsuits over its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
abc13.com/health/employe…
One of the two lawsuits was filed in the U.S. District Court in Fort Worth, Texas. In that suit, the employee alleges that their religious exemption was not accommodated.
The employees, including two pilots and a flight attendant, are accusing the airline of a "pattern of discrimination against employees who requested religious or medical accommodations."
They say the airline's approach of putting exempt employees on an indefinite leave of absence means "that they would be effectively terminated."
In response to the lawsuit, the airline said it will "vigorously defend its policy."

Zero Covid has torn Australia apart

We’re not learning to live with the virus, we’re learning to live with authoritarianism.

spiked-online.com/2021/09/29/zer…
“Back in the summer, as the rest of the world was opening up, state after state in Australia started to impose new restrictions to deal with a handful of Covid cases. It turned us into a global laughing stock. No one is laughing now.
Time was when, even in Melbourne, we could chuckle at the absurdity of our Covid rules. We were told we could remove our face masks – still mandatory indoors and outdoors – in order to drink a coffee, but not to drink a beer.

Seattle City Council Passes Rent Control by Another Name. Is It Legal?
reason.com/2021/09/29/sea… via @reason
New bills passed earlier this week require landlords to give tenants 180 days' notice before raising rents and pay "economic dislocation relocation assistance" equal to three months' rent, to low-income tenants who move in response to rent hikes.
Both are the handiwork of Councilmember Kshama Sawant, a member of the Socialist Alternative party, who argues the twin bills are needed to protect tenants from a post-pandemic upswing in rents—and from capitalism more generally.

John Ratcliffe and Mike Pompeo disputed Gen. Mark Milley’s recounting of the situation surrounding his controversial call with his Chinese counterpart

“There was no concerning intelligence that merited a call to his Chinese counterpart,” Ratcliffe said in an interview on Fox News, calling the chairman’s testimony “disingenuous and disappointing.”
“The reason that you know that I’m telling the truth when I saw that this was not an issue of concern is Gen. Milley was the principal military adviser to President Trump,” he continued.

As the Rationale for Total Vaccination Sputters, Censorship Soars realclearmarkets.com/articles/2021/…
“If the vaccines don’t prevent infection or transmission, we cannot insist that everyone take them for public health reasons – to stop the spread.
And if the vaccines are sometimes harmful, failing a risk-reward calculation for many people, then we should not encourage everyone to take them for individual health reasons. Dr. Jay Battacharya of Stanford says it may be unwise for those under 30 years old to take vaccine.
