During a Crisis the World of Automation Cannot Happen Soon Enough

I reckon there are some people that would bitch no matter what.

Romulus — Bright blue surgical gloves and masks littered the driveway into a full parking lot at Amazon.com’s Romulus fulfillment center, where workers planned a walkout Wednesday.

But only a handful of warehouse’s 4,000 workers joined the strike outside the facility on Ecorse during the shift change at noon, proclaiming their work through the COVID-19 crisis is “not by choice but by necessity.”

For mouth breathers paid to shuffle boxes around, Jeff has already been more than generous.

“Today I challenge our top retail competitors (you know who you are!) to match our employee benefits and our $15 minimum wage,” Bezos wrote. “Do it! Better yet, go to $16 and throw the gauntlet back at us. It’s a kind of competition that will benefit everyone.”

The company also said its wage hike benefited more than 250,000 Amazon employees, as well as more than 100,000 seasonal workers who worked at Amazon sites across the country during the 2018 holidays.

I hope Bezos fires every damn one of them that walked off their Critical Infrastructure employee job and, prosecutes the other dregs of society to the fullest extent of the law.

Ted Nugent Proven Correct Again

As with most healthy Michiganians who will not be gravely affected by the Chinese Communist Party Virus, unlike those in fragile city hellholes Grand Rapids and SEMCOG, in our rain-soaked and shoreline eroding state, boredom is setting in so, just to get the hell out of the house, clean up the yard and burn some leaves, twigs and such while under She Guevara “Half” Whitmer‘s statewide imposed in your house or $500 money grab and/or 90 days in the slammer (while contemplating releasing real criminals), which far exceeds Federal Social Distancing guidelines and with almost no possibility of a national Stay-at-home measure being enacted, what greets you on a Granholm administration retread‘s DNR website?

Doing something right for a change.

There was a story which a friend of mine passed along to me several years ago regarding early American History, specifically relating to government spending, which I immediately enjoyed and still remember to this day.

It focused on a conversation between one Davy Crockett and a constituent by the name of Horatio Bunce, regarding an appropriations bill in the US House of Representatives. Mr. Bunce took issue with not only the speed the appropriation was made, but why it was even made in the first place. During their conversation, he also drove that point solidly home by reminding the then campaigning Rep. Crockett:

“The people have delegated to Congress, by the Constitution, the power to do certain things. To do these, it is authorized to collect and pay moneys, and for nothing else. Everything beyond this is usurpation, and a violation of the Constitution.”

Let’s just say that Rep. Crockett had an interesting response to that situation to say the least (along with how it guided his future decisions).
So, what does a discussion nearly two centuries ago have to do with Michigan Politics today?

Bipartisanship

Democrats and Republicans want to be on the same page while fighting the Kung Flu.

So reps Annette Glenn, and Mary Whiteford are taking no chances.  They have offered to assist the governor of Michigan in making sure that no medical product channels are being blocked in Michigan.

Whiteford the Chair, and Glenn as committee member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, have penned a letter to the governor offering their leverage and help if in fact there are shenanigans (as the governor alleges) that would block life saving assistance from being distributed in Michigan.

They issued the letter below today :

Gov. Gretchen “Half” Whitmer Strikes Again: Normalize Election Fraud

This is a complete abomination orchestrated by Soros’ flunky Jocelyn Benson, that I’m happy to see SML Shirkey, and Senator Johnson, have stated firm opposition.

The order was swiftly opposed by Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, who argued the May elections should be delayed instead. He cautioned against “decisions made in haste” and asked Whitmer to “reconsider this misstep.”

“Our Governor has authorized the Secretary of State to send absentee ballots to individuals who apply to register to vote without first ensuring proper verification,” Shirkey said. “This unilateral change to how we secure our elections has the potential to invite fraud and security concerns that may last well beyond the circumstances of today.”

Correct, SML Shirkey, that is what the game plan has been all along. Shutter a nation then, vote by mail.
