After whistleblower outs Facebook on 60 minutes, platform is down..

A landmark Israeli study published in August found that vaccinated individuals who never had COVID-19 were 13 times more likely to receive a breakthrough infection than unvaccinated individuals who had been infected and recovered.

Are biden and the democrats really this stupid? No but 80m Americans obviously are...

It says mandatory VACATIONS not vaccinations.

Raised my family selling alcohol for 25 years, witnessed many a salesman loose their career because they could not control their drinking. Because they never did random testing those that smoked never lost their jobs because they didn't become bullet proof like drinkers think they become.

"It’s a gateway drug" Where I totally disagree with you my friend, you are not wrong in that comment. Those that medicate sometimes find it is a progression from alcohol > cannabis > prescription pills > illicit pills > heroin > fentanyl > meth. What ever it takes to get them to that happy place in their mind. Drugs can be looked at the same way we look at guns. Guns and drugs don't kill people, people kill people and sometimes themselves with guns and drugs...

"It’s no worse than alcohol" NO, alcohol is worse than cannabis and the average "dealer" doesn't sell all three or try to convince a user to try another substance.

"They're trying to find unreported income from people who make ANY amount of money" After 22 days we have a winner, spot on CB.

Paul Harvey stated almost the same thing in 1965 This should wake everyone up.

I personally know hundreds of fellow employees over the years that medicate. Weather that be cannabis, legal/illegal pills or alcohol and alcohol is probably the most common medication used by outside sales people. Heck I could go to 75% of the football games in Houston and point out officials who I guarantee smoked cannabis 1 hour before kick off. I don't think its a sad reflection on the workforce, more of a reflection of todays problems in society.

Take a step back, I'm not arguing or disagreeing with you. I was just pointing out the facts of the debate and why I called it a red herring. Like covid, if you don't screen for it, it's a mute point on employment status. Last I checked there is no federal or state law that requires drug screen for employment, but I am not positive. What I do know is any employer public or private can require a drug screen if it is their policy. I think if you work a job where "safety" is the number one responsibility, those employees should be random checked. Same goes for truck drivers, mfg, medical, law enforcement. The actual point of my comment was, people medicate each and everyday and the chance that you will interact with a person who is medicated is close to 50%. By medication I am referring to cannabis, alcohol, tobacco and prescription drugs.

Ok so we are all on the same page as you have thrown out several numbers. The first that I saw was the 30k-40k you stated was your SSI/Medicare portion, that is when I questioned it. Now after the fact I am seeing your $9K SSI/Medicare contribution, which yes I believe is a true number for your profession what ever that may be. I don't think your statement "a good portion" is true as SSI/Medicare is 7.65% which would be matched by your employer. Your 30k-40k would be your total withholdings, which once again is probably true, so good for.

So you are telling us that your SSI and Medicare withholding is "30k-40k? Laughable very laughable, those two taxes together are a meager 7.65% of YOUR deductions, not yours and the matching 7.65% ADDED by your employer. If you are in that tax bracket, you would not be worrying about SSI and medicare. You would be smart enough to have one or several retirement systems to give a higher return on investment. Our fact checkers have determined your comment false...

Not moving to Colorado buddy, moving to Michigan. Actually most employers do not random test anymore, especially the education system. Hemp is now legal in Texas which has led to the CBD craze, but the current testing procedures cannot tell the difference between someone that smoked CDB less than .1 THC content and Cannabis with 15%-30% THC. Your comment "no one wants people who are actively high out here driving and delivering packages", is actually laughable. If you or anyone else knew how many people "medicate" and that what it is, medicating everyday you would be shocked. It would scare the heck out of most people if I took y'all down the rabbit hole of those who medicate on a daily basis and 99.9% of you would never know it. Chances are 50% of the work force is working with someone right now that medicated before work, during their breaks or lunch and when they get home. There is no difference between medicating with cannabis or prescription drugs that people use everyday that contain opioids or Hydrocodone.

So you're stating that you are a top 2% income earner, couldn't tell that from your posts...

The mistake the government made in their war on drugs was declaring cannabis a schedule 1 drug putting it on the same level as heroin, xtc, LSD and others. 50 years later we know it is not a gateway drug and has many medical uses. Where states have legalized it in the form of medical or recreational use it has not totally shut down the illegal trade because the fallacy of the imposed tax being used for social projects. You also need to understand that the science behind growing the different strains of cannabis make it easy for the new novice smoker (those over 60), to find an Indica, sativa or hybrid that is cheaper than the OTC drugs prescribed by their doctor. Many times saving them hundreds of dollars a year. Depending on the side of Beaumont or Houston you live you can buy 1 ounce, 28.3 grams for $150.00 to $250.00. This is much less than dispensary price of $40-$90 per 3.5 grams or 1/8 oz which most of your semi-quasi "legal" state dispensaries charge. I use that term because when the state(s) legalize cannabis, it is still illegal on the federal level. In Washington state and British Columbia you are asked to provide an id to verify age much like alcohol. In Michigan they not only ask for id, they actually put your name in the dispensaries data base but it is not quite clear if the state has the right to that information. If a person does buy it legally in say Colorado, Michigan, Washington or any other legal state there is not a problem until you leave that state. In doing so you now break federal law and depending on the quantity being carried it becomes trafficking. The interesting part is individuals in Michigan can grow up to 12 plants per person for (personal consumption) and they are allowed to "gift" up to 1.5 ounces. The average plant yields around 17.5 ounces x $200 x12 = $42,000.00, this will unmistakably increase the "illegal" trade. Also Michigan law leaves it up to the "townships" to determine if they want that business in their community, which I believe fits our form of government the best. Amazon does not sell alcohol or tobacco, so their push for legalization of cannabis appears to be a red herring to me. If your company cannot sell it and god help us if you can start getting alcohol, tobacco and cannabis on line, then why push for decriminalization of cannabis. Probably more info than y'all needed but it is Thursday...

You two are a piece of work.

Referring to the 2016 election, why I stated Clinton not Biden.

And they didn't vote for Trump, they voted against Clinton. You will never get it...

There was more money paid to hospitals that reported the death as covid, that is not a conspiracy theory. But it was those that were on Medicare and Medicaid that received higher pay outs, especially if the patient was put on life support.

In 2020, approximately 3,358,814 deaths† occurred in the United States, per CDC. Covid was the third leading cause @345k+, heart disease @690k+ and cancer @598k+, yes the actual covid number was 150K less than the MSM was reporting. My comment on more likely to die in a car accident was sort of tongue in cheek, but we still do not know if the numbers are correct.

Great follow up tvc184. It's just crazy like I stated, that it affects those who need it the most.

Just the fact you know what that is is very concerning my friend. LOL

"be more likely to die" By statistical numbers you almost have the same chance of dying in an automobile accident as from covid...
