00:13 DaemonFC; Worldometer says there's only 41 years until the end of oil, citing the US EIA.
00:13 DaemonFC; So it pretty much means that no matter what happens, 41 years later, or so, we're out.
00:13 DaemonFC; And you can't keep using what you don't have.
00:13 DaemonFC; So, actually, the Fallout timeline for the world running out of oil and World War 3 are plausible.
00:14 DaemonFC; 41 years from now is 2063.
00:14 DaemonFC; If you assume they find a bit more oil or get desperate and start using coal to gasoline or something, then it could go on longer.

00:15 DaemonFC; That could take us through 2077, but China imports a massive amount of coal TODAY.
00:15 DaemonFC; Which means they don't even have the reserves to turn it into gasoline.
00:15 DaemonFC; Which means World War 3 would probably be an invasion trying to get at our coal reserves. Not oil.

00:20 DaemonFC; "The contractor who removed toilets from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzkers mansion in a $331,000 property tax scandal received a nearly $9 million COVID-19 contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The contractor hadnt worked with the Corps in 76 years."
00:21 DaemonFC; He paid the property taxes "voluntarily" when they were looking into whether they were going to file charges against him.
00:21 DaemonFC; The guy has billions, he had them rip his toilets out so he wouldn't pay $331,000 in tax.
00:22 DaemonFC; Then he says we need to sacrifice so that Chicago Public Schools gets more money, and the kids are still dumb as hell and it all went to the scummy teacher unions.

01:00 DaemonFC; Might mention this to mom.
01:00 DaemonFC; She gets Medicare in a few months. Might as well get the PPSV23 on their dime. Her insurance now is basically worthless.
01:00 DaemonFC; The Catholic church cut it to the bone and got a plan that leaves employees on the hook for almost any prescription.
01:01 DaemonFC; Oh look, we minimally comply with Obummercare.
01:01 DaemonFC; Here's a plan that doesn't actually cover the medicine part. Don't say we never gave you anything!
01:02 DaemonFC; Obummercare didn't just ruin things for people who got a marketplace plan. It set minimum standards for employer-based plans than what most people who had them already got, and fines for employers who didn't offer compliant plans that are cheaper than the plans are.
01:03 DaemonFC; So the whole thing was a set up to make private insurance go away and force everyone to buy one on an exchange.
01:05 DaemonFC; Private insurance shouldn't even be allowed, but the marketplace plans are just private plans that are regulated, and the regulations don't net benfit for society because the insurance companies wanted bailouts, not tough regulations.
01:06 DaemonFC; If we even are going to allow this, there needs to be tougher regulations on what the plans pay for and at what rate, or else no "premium supports" and they can just go ahead and fail, and we can talk about national healthcare.
01:07 DaemonFC; I never feel bad about using a benefit my insurance has to pay for.
01:07 DaemonFC; They gouge my eyes out to pay for this shit, and if I get some "free" vaccines out of it or something, it rights the scales a little. Nothing more.
01:07 DaemonFC; Trump said "You have to be hit by a Komatsu tractor to cost the insurance company any money that year.". Not wrong.
01:08 DaemonFC; They just want you to pay and pay. Their ideal customer is someone who buys a policy then ignores all of their benefits.
01:08 DaemonFC; Doesn't ever go get checkups, doesn't vaccinate, doesn't do anything.

01:56 activelow; that's the other design flaw of "social media": they're not free software, for anyone to operate their own service with standards-compliant protocol, such as IRC, eMail/Newsgroups, or some ordinary apache web directory

01:58 Techrights-sec; agreed with both points. yet I will say again that it is necessary to get

02:18 DaemonFC; Twitter is good at self-censorship, but also at letting people say something and then end up ambushed later.

02:19 DaemonFC; And you just get to find out about it later, or not, I mean, why didn't they hire you?
02:19 Techrights-sec; yes all one individual or even a group can do is grind away at the task
02:19 Techrights-sec; it would be possible for governments to ban social control media for
02:19 Techrights-sec; reasons of public health but that would go against the abilit to manipulate
02:19 Techrights-sec; public opinion en masse. So far they seem to be aiming to gain control
02:19 Techrights-sec; over that ability, but I have doubts as to their ability to wrest control
02:19 Techrights-sec; of it for their own use exclusively.
02:20 schestowitz-TR; as you said, they could concievably do that, as Nigeria did
02:20 DaemonFC; The reason why the right is getting more militant, especially about voting, is because they're not allowed anywhere else to say what they think anymore.
02:21 DaemonFC; If you say black people are all victims of the police and they deserve all of the marijuana revenue for reparations, and stop grading papers and scoring them with standardized tests, they pin a medal on you.
02:21 DaemonFC; That's the sort of thing you can say now, and nothing else.
02:21 DaemonFC; So, where does everyone else go to get some catharsis? The ballot box.
02:21 DaemonFC; Nobody knows what you're doing in there.
02:22 DaemonFC; Pritzker is fucking this up so much that he may be voted out as Governor of a very left-wing state.
02:22 DaemonFC; The people who are sick of him are mostly biting their tongue to avoid problems at work and shit.
02:22 Techrights-sec; yes there are many companies that either print out or just summaries social
02:22 Techrights-sec; control media posts. Technically, legally, some countries prohibit that
02:22 Techrights-sec; *but* if it is done down several layers inside a chain of outsourced tasks
02:22 Techrights-sec; related to hiring, then the employers and the regulators look between their
02:22 Techrights-sec; fingers.
02:22 Techrights-sec; anecdote: I know of some that have been rejected from particular jobs
02:22 Techrights-sec; because of posting histories that were dug out of obscurity.
02:23 DaemonFC; He already dumped a lot of money into a ballot measure designed to cause our state tax rate to increase.
02:23 DaemonFC; And most people smacked it back down.
02:24 DaemonFC; It was the first ballot measure, I think, to fail that badly in Illinois, since the early 70s when the state tried to lower the voting age before the federal amendment did.
02:24 DaemonFC; It was not a popular idea among the public in Illinois, to lower the voting age from 21 to 18.

02:32 DaemonFC; Very depressing for a child's toy.
02:32 schestowitz-TR; one available option is,
02:32 schestowitz-TR; now that I have control of 'my' twitter account
02:32 schestowitz-TR; devote it only to posts against twitter

02:35 DaemonFC; Because no walk-ins, but the website doesn't let you choose from every vaccine they have.
02:35 DaemonFC; So the pharmacist told me to schedule a flu shot, and then call her back, and she'd order Havrix for me.
02:36 DaemonFC; I said, "Well, I guess I need to remember to tell them "I'm not here for a flu shot, so that really is Havrix in the vial, right? You have to watch people now.".

02:55 schestowitz-TR; 1) keep posting in twitter as before but
02:55 schestowitz-TR; 2) write at least once a day about risks of social control media

04:23 DaemonFC; Even before COVID, black people weren't getting their kids vaccinated.
04:23 DaemonFC; Even though the government runs Medicaid, and Vaccines For Children, and every county has a health department.
04:24 TR News; #twitter should even EXIST. Same for #facebook ... I'll put my thoughts together soon... on #internet and #socialcontrolmedia in particular... but I might start campaigning ferociously against them all. Still unsure. Context: http://techrights.org/2021/12/29/straw-man-censorship/
04:24 DaemonFC; Pneumococcal Pneumonia, the strains that Prevnar 13 is useful against, were hitting 95 out of 100,000 children in the United States under the age of 5 every year.
04:25 DaemonFC; In 1999, that is.

04:25 TR News; I have a draft entitled "Boycott Twitter, Don't Post Anything to Twitter Anymore (Not Even Passively)" but I cannot yet go ahead with it as that would mean eliminating myself too, from #twitter (and it would let liars go unchallenged in that #censorship echo chamber)
04:26 DaemonFC; Then in 2010, Prevnar 13 came out, and the number dropped again, to 7 out of 100,000 as of 2018.

04:27 MinceR; or as Nithor says: If it bleeds, roast it!
04:27 DaemonFC; What happened with the Syphilis thing occurred in another era, a very long time ago.
04:27 DaemonFC; There's been nothing like that happening in America since the early 1970s.
04:27 DaemonFC; And the vaccines that they want to give them are the same ones they're giving to me.
04:28 DaemonFC; And the government will even pay for it for them!
04:28 schestowitz-TR; there can be a testing bias
04:28 DaemonFC; The Syphilis experiments were just truly terrible. They were medically unethical, they didn't really even serve a scientific purpose.
04:28 schestowitz-TR; different people react differently to these products
04:28 schestowitz-TR; it is not even predictable
04:28 DaemonFC; We didn't learn anything about Syphilis that we didn't know before, or couldn't have found out some other way.
04:29 DaemonFC; I have no idea how it went on for so long.
04:29 DaemonFC; I know how it happened. Systemic racism. Here's a bunch of people nobody cares about. Test this shit on them.
04:29 DaemonFC; Which is horrific.
04:30 DaemonFC; But as to why it went on for decades when the scientific research was going nowhere, beats me.

11:31 DaemonFC; They shut down the hospital, open a new one with no ER so that illegal immigrants, uninsured, and Medicaid, can't limp in, and then do freestanding ERs that don't take Medicare or Medicaid so they don't have to treat uninsured patients.

11:50 schestowitz; SUEPO Proposals on the New Career System
11:51 schestowitz; Comments and proposals for a proper merit-based system, fit for purpose
11:51 schestowitz; Dear SUEPO members, dear colleagues,
11:51 schestowitz;
11:51 schestowitz; The New Career System (NCS) has ruined the careers of many while it has boosted a few, amongst which the top managers that designed it. The figures provided by management show exactly that.
11:51 schestowitz;
11:51 schestowitz; Do you want to keep competing against your colleagues, endanger your health and destroy your job satisfaction?
11:51 schestowitz; Or do you think, like we do, that the time has come to fix the career system, by providing guaranteed step progression and a truly merit-based career. In this paper we develop some of the measures we are proposing to amend the NCS in order to make it fit for purpose.
11:51 schestowitz;
11:51 schestowitz; Defend your rights collectively, join SUEPO Munich
11:51 schestowitz; "
11:51 schestowitz; do you want to help me with this?
11:51 schestowitz; you can add analogies
11:51 schestowitz; from the US
11:51 DaemonFC; "Do you want to keep competing against your colleagues, endanger your health and destroy your job satisfaction?"
11:51 DaemonFC; That's exactly how businesses treat workers in the US even though they say they can't find replacement workers.
11:51 DaemonFC; They sure keep acting like they can.
11:52 schestowitz-TR; right
11:52 schestowitz-TR; I had a boss like that
11:52 schestowitz-TR; I complained
11:52 schestowitz-TR; she got canned
11:52 DaemonFC; They're already closing the store and saying "No employees came in." and they drive off the employees.
11:52 DaemonFC; It's not just places like Walmart. It's everywhere.
11:52 schestowitz-TR; but not before she drove away two very valuable colleagues
11:52 schestowitz-TR; Paul and Ashwin
11:52 DaemonFC; Mom said she was glad that she left her last job because bad management came in and now it's totally ghetto.
11:53 DaemonFC; They have agency staff in there for half the staffing, and they show up whenever they feel like it.
11:53 DaemonFC; There's no continuity of care for residents and it's expensive. The whole thing is necessary because the management is so toxic that they drove out all of the career nurses and everyone who had been there forever and no it costs them more to run that place poorly than it ever did when it was a nice place.
11:54 DaemonFC; I think companies are sticking to their old mentality of there's always more where these people came from.
11:54 DaemonFC; Then they wonder why they have to keep raising wages and throwing out hiring bonuses and there's still nobody that their rules allow them to bring back in.
11:55 DaemonFC; Walmart operates like the Borg.
11:55 DaemonFC; If they drum you out, they put you on at least an automatic 6 month shit list where you won't be rehired, and now they wonder why entire stores have to be closed for lack of staffing.
11:56 DaemonFC; And if you do get a call saying "Hey, come back!" It's for starting wages, and you have to start all over, and you don't rack up personal hours and have to wait for health insurance again.
11:56 DaemonFC; So it's very demoralizing.
11:57 DaemonFC; People who come back say "I'm poorer than the last time I worked here!" and then they don't want to do much work, and they leave again because Amazon hired them.
11:57 DaemonFC; I mean, this has been going on forever, but the COVID nonsense has made it worse.
11:58 DaemonFC; They need to throw out the playbook and figure out a way to retain employees.
11:58 DaemonFC; And a lot of places are like that.
11:58 schestowitz; I will copy in ideas...
11:58 DaemonFC; The nursing home my mom worked at years ago went through calling people who used to work there.
11:58 schestowitz; for the draft
11:58 schestowitz; keep on going
11:59 DaemonFC; She goes: "Do I start out with everything I had after 20 years of my life in that place?" and they go, "Well no...".
12:00 DaemonFC; So it's basically like, the only reason she was still doing it was because it was a pain in the butt to get in the car and commute, but she'd been there so long that nobody else was going to offer her the deal she had there.
12:00 schestowitz; also:
12:00 schestowitz; NPS & SSP: some are far more equal than others
12:00 schestowitz; In his live interview with four team managers on 22 October, Mr Campinos, when confronted with the concerns of colleagues in the New Pension System (NPS) recently hired in the Office, stated We are in the same boat, kind of.
12:00 schestowitz; Well, we beg to disagree, at least with the first part of the sentence. Mr Campinos and other senior managers, e.g. VPs or PDs, recruited after 2008 are indeed placed under the NPS. But it is the only thing they have in common with recently hired staff, for several reasons.
12:00 DaemonFC; If all they're going to do is hire her back for what some nurse who starts on day 1 makes, why would she leave the job she has in her own town?
12:01 DaemonFC; I mean, so she can pay $4 a gallon in Brandon Gas next year to commute again, in a snowstorm?
12:01 DaemonFC; She's almost at an age where she can retire and there's so much crap going on lately that she's seriously considering just doing it. She says if the vaccine mandates happen, she's just going to take her chips and cash out.
12:02 DaemonFC; I mean, her employer froze her pension years ago even though they lied and said it would keep growing until 67 if she wanted to keep working there. So that won't get any bigger.
12:02 DaemonFC; And she has to retire to take it, and then they'll be down another nurse.
12:02 DaemonFC; Smooth move, Ex Lax...
12:04 DaemonFC; But now they come back and say if she retires, she can still work there and claim her pension and they'll give her 40 hours a week anyway if she wants it and they'll just say she's retired.
12:04 DaemonFC; It's organizational lulz. People in management are Attack of the Clones. It's the same damned mess everywhere. They don't know what they're doing. They sap morale.
12:05 DaemonFC; Last year, they sent out 10 emails....Not 1 or 2 but 10, saying there's going to be a big bonus at the end of the year if you stay.
12:05 DaemonFC; Then the end of the year arrives and the Diocese office sends out another one saying they "miscommunicated" and there was no bonus.
12:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Is this starting to sound like the EPO?
12:06 schestowitz; yes
12:06 schestowitz; hang on, copying in quotes
12:07 DaemonFC; What we need is a new New Deal. Workers are so burned out at this point that it's hard to get productivity out of them, especially because management theory is obsolete and they need to get out of their own way and look at how to keep the people they already have and motivate them to produce more.
12:09 DaemonFC; But the "vicious treadmill", especially in low wage work, has said, "You start looking for ways to fire people the day they start working there. Then when they cost more than a new hire, you sack them and make them apply for their job again."
12:09 DaemonFC; What actually ends up happening is you toss out the good ones along with everyone else, and end up bringing in an unknown factor.
12:09 DaemonFC; When you could have just pruned the diseased branches.
12:10 DaemonFC; I actually had a boss that was honest with me one day. Shocking.
12:11 DaemonFC; He said, "You know, if I had 5 more of you, I wouldn't need 18 people in this department.
12:11 DaemonFC; But hard work doesn't actually get you anywhere at most places.
12:12 DaemonFC; It gets you more work, but they still treat you like shit. The pay is still the same as if you were slowly meandering about like everyone else.
12:12 DaemonFC; So people get this signaling that they should slow down and stop having standards, because there's no reward.

12:51 DaemonFC; That's literally the only reason I use LibreOffice sometimes.
12:51 DaemonFC; It can actually handle importing complicated documents from MS Office.
12:52 DaemonFC; Abiword is small because it's only a word processor.

13:21 DaemonFC; If the Pope is worried about having lots of kids for his priests to molest, he should maybe get ahold of some of the Catholic businessmen and politicians and threaten excommunication for making people too poor to want to have kids.
13:22 MinceR; :>
13:23 MinceR; for people like that, being too poor is not an excuse anyway
13:23 MinceR; they want people to fill the planet with more people so that more people can suffer
13:25 DaemonFC; The more people there are, the less valuable an individual life is, in many ways.
13:25 DaemonFC; Including for their labor.
13:25 DaemonFC; So people get poorer when there's more people who need work.
13:26 DaemonFC; It puts a lid on the price of labor, and then people who can work get less for the work.
13:26 DaemonFC; The Philippines has this problem.
13:26 DaemonFC; There's people everywhere, they can't feed half of them. There's no jobs.

13:27 DaemonFC; People break bottles and rob people.
13:28 DaemonFC; They claim it's nihilistic to assign a negative value to more life.
13:28 DaemonFC; But it's realistic to do that, because more life cheapens life.
13:29 MinceR; apparently "nihilist" is the cultist's smear for someone who thinks for themself
13:29 DaemonFC; The people who run this place just want people to not panic and go along with anything and think happy thoughts no matter what's about to happen to them.

23:19 schestowitz-TR; I made a cartoon version of him..
23:19 DaemonFC; Steve Updike?
23:19 DaemonFC; The one who stopped trash pickup for weeks until there were piles of trash everywhere on Easter Sunday?

23:20 schestowitz; notice the chin and eyes
23:20 schestowitz; yes, that was almost 12 years ago, so I remembeed correctly
23:20 schestowitz; you were about 25 back then
23:21 schestowitz; not yet sleeping inside sleeping bags
23:21 DaemonFC; I made one of him in a garbage can wearing the lid as a hat.
23:22 DaemonFC; Posted it around town with a protest message urging people to turn out to vote in the primary election.
23:22 schestowitz-TR; lol
23:22 schestowitz-TR; yes, I think you took my gimped version of him
23:23 schestowitz-TR; ddint' you volunteer for him
23:23 schestowitz-TR; ?
23:23 DaemonFC; No, that was Mayor Tom Henry in Fort Wayne.
23:23 schestowitz-TR; iirc, he was the one caught masturbating in his office
23:23 schestowitz-TR; what did he think he was, Microsoft STAFF?
23:23 DaemonFC; No, the one caught masturbating in his office was Brooks Fetters, of Huntington.
23:23 DaemonFC; The one they replaced Updike with.
23:23 schestowitz-TR; well...
23:23 schestowitz-TR; nayway, they all do it
23:24 schestowitz-TR; but not in public office
23:24 schestowitz-TR; not literally
23:24 schestowitz-TR; remember microsoft called its product OneCare
23:24 schestowitz-TR; which sounds the sake as wanker
23:24 DaemonFC; He was masturbating in his office, but at least our garbage was being picked up.
23:24 schestowitz-TR; they then went on a hunting expedition or fishing expedition hiring some
23:24 DaemonFC; When you call the police in Huntington, they actually come out in about 5 or 10 minutes.

23:25 DaemonFC; I called them on some people who tossed their 5 year old in our dumpster and told him to look for metal
23:25 DaemonFC; They put the kid in child protective service custody and arrested the parents.
23:25 schestowitz-TR; good
23:25 schestowitz-TR; dupsters are dangerous
23:26 schestowitz-TR; they can collapse from within
23:26 DaemonFC; They told me that wasn't the first time they'd had to deal with them and they just couldn't take action until then.
23:27 DaemonFC; Child Protective Services in Indiana is a joke. They usually call and warn the parents that there will be an investigation, and then the parents have 24 hours to threaten and coach and clean things up and get their story straight.
23:27 DaemonFC; But when the police directly observe it...
23:28 DaemonFC; About the only time that Child Protective Services manages to get anything done is when the police, a social worker, or a teacher observe something and take a statement before the parents have a chance to engage in a cover-up.

23:30 DaemonFC; Now I know why babies cry when they are born.
23:31 DaemonFC; I run the charger for my phone in through the small opening that's just big enough to bring in some fresh air to breathe. Then I strap the velcro over the cord, and set my alarm.
23:32 DaemonFC; Then I have the phone in there with me if I want to read a book on it or something.

23:33 DaemonFC; Most comparable neighbors use 450-700 according to the electric company.

23:34 DaemonFC; Yes, we went to Golden Corral again today.

23:34 schestowitz-TR; they just pay UP

23:34 schestowitz-TR; they have kids
23:35 schestowitz-TR; and it's hard to tell kids that mommy and daddy request some exercise or time in 2 layers of clothing
23:35 DaemonFC; Well, the Pope says it should all work out.
23:35 DaemonFC; You just have to work harder, sleep less, sacrifice more.
23:35 schestowitz-TR; he has competition
23:35 DaemonFC; He knows all about sacrifice, he told the Archdiocese to sacrifice my mom's pension, you know.

23:36 DaemonFC; They lie about your pensions, your bonuses, your paid time off.
23:36 DaemonFC; Everything.
23:36 schestowitz-TR; it'll work out at the end
23:36 DaemonFC; They lie about EVERYTHING.
23:36 schestowitz-TR; "up above'

23:37 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, People have it worse than mom.
23:37 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: madame harm is gullible
23:37 schestowitz-TR; they should tell her the pension starts in Heavens Inc.
23:37 DaemonFC; Someone at a Catholic hospital that got shut down said they took lower pay than they could get elsewhere because of a generous pension.
23:38 DaemonFC; THen the Archdiocese where they were filed bankruptcy and didn't pay out any of the pension to settle priest sex abuse settlements.
23:38 schestowitz-TR; "generous" Ponzi scheme
23:38 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: so
23:38 schestowitz-TR; she paid for their sins
23:38 schestowitz-TR; the child molesters
23:38 DaemonFC; Yeah, "Catholic" pension plans mean you have no retirement plan if you take that job.
23:38 schestowitz-TR; see? it all works out at the end
23:39 schestowitz-TR; for the clergy anyway
23:39 DaemonFC; Because they'll let it accrue and then take it all away right before you retire.
23:39 schestowitz-TR; that's how it works
