Doubt they enforce the order until the MOU is updated but no MOU will save you from lying on a federal government document.

That what I was wanting to know. I'm personally not worried about it, but it will be interesting to see the fall out or how far the FAA will push it.

I wish the awareness and understanding of how this is all happening is raised not boiled down to blame those evil liberal corporations and some liberal agenda when this was all started to spy on our own just to pretend we are trying to catch the enemy.

Number 1 rule in government is never let a crisis go to waste. Gotta take the opportunity to usurp more powers and freedoms when the people are scared and willing to part ways with them for the idea of comfort and safety. i.e. 9/11 ushering in the patriot act, temporarily substantially raising income taxes on the low and middle class to fund WW1 (which people were okay with because they wanted to do their patriotic duty) and then never reversing the taxes when the war ended, 2008 financial crisis to impose all new stringent regulations, and most recently the covid crisis and all of the unconstitutional control measures that have gone along with it. There's plenty more examples but you get the point. The wool has been pulled over the sheeple's eyes and they don't even realize who the true enemy of the free people is anymore.

My daughter has a chronic illness and we have had to take pictures for her drs. ... My daughter is 4 and all of the pictures she is covered but there are quite a few with her with her shirt off. Who is to say that Apple notifies DHS and the police over pictures like that?

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on. This is not some AI looking at photos themselves and saying "Oh, that looks like a kid without a shirt on, time to report it." There is a database of "hashes" (think "fingerprints") of images that a human has looked at and categorized as child abuse, and Apple is comparing the hashes of your images to the hashes of those "known-bad" files and seeing if there's a match. It doesn't catch new photos at all.

Not commenting on the larger privacy debate, just clarifying what's actually being proposed.

My issue is that people who claim
Not to be sheeple right now are also people just as vulnerable to crap if Not more so than the people they claim are sheeple. In my opinion, The most vocal about being enlightened are generally not as much as they claim and refuse to listen to one point because they dismiss it out of hand.

At this point I’m not sure how someone gets caught unless they cross reference vaccination records (no way they’re not creating a database with all that juicy info) against the forms we attest to.

Still ballsy to put that shit on paper if it isn’t true.

Right, this mentality is terrible to have. People like this champion "for the greater good" and "we can save lives" but we are rapidly slipping down the slope and it will not stop here. Take Apple for instance with the new iOS 15, essentially providing a backdoor for the Federal Government to "protect the children" making tools that can rapidly be reengineered to anything the "host" country wishes to declare subversive or illegal. To tell someone to find another job because you do not approve of that individual's choice is not only cowardly but indicative to how fast we as a society are rapidly giving up natural rights.

Perhaps, but it's mostly the same group of people who (like me in my conservative years), declared "choice" to be the end all be all in your life ... that are now opposing this workforce regulation.

They said if you're poor, it's by choice. If your situation sucks in any way, shape, or form, it's by choice.

Shit, a couple years ago they were telling us that if we didn't like the shutdown and not being paid on time, we could choose to find another job.

I took the "if you don't like it, make better choices" to heart in my late teens/early 20s, and that's why I'm not still a fry cook at a fast food place. But conservatives will use this "if you don't like it, find another job" all day every day to defend corps that are basically forcing their employees to take it up the a. So even though I'm not pro-government mandate (as long as you can opt out via testing, cool), I get a little fucking irate when I hear someone say that "if you don't like it, find another job" shouldn't apply to this particular situation.

You're all okay with companies paying shit wages and you're all fine with the notion of desolving the union and privatizing and eroding any miniscule rights employees have, because if they don't like it, they can find another job... but all of a sudden, this is the line.

Exactly this. All about that "at will employment, right to work" shit till they aren't.

Much like they are all about "rioters should be shot on sight and run over with trucks for blocking roads, back the blue" till its their people, then it's just patriotic tourists at the capital peacefully beating cops with fire extinguishers.

It's all hypocrisy.

Costco had some bulgogi on sale last week, that was lunch for 3 days at work. We got a rice cooker last year that has come in clutch as far as last minute meals to bring. Also we need to get air fryers in our break room.
