"Union sues USDA over faster chicken plant production speeds" by David Pitt Associated Press, July 28, 2020
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — The union representing workers at chicken processing plants in six states sued the US Department of Agriculture on Tuesday, saying its policy of allowing companies to slaughter birds more quickly endangers workers and makes it more difficult to protect against spread of the coronavirus.
The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union and local unions representing 10 plants in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Missouri joined with nonprofit consumer advocacy group Public Citizen to file the lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C.
The USDA first allowed line speed waivers in 2018 after the National Chicken Council, a poultry industry trade group, petitioned it to increase speeds.
The lawsuit alleges that the waivers violate the Administrative Procedure Act because USDA failed to provide public notice or allow public comment and should be set aside.
The unions claim workers are endangered by faster line speeds and further at risk during the coronavirus pandemic because faster speeds make adequate worker distancing nearly impossible.
“America’s poultry workers have been on the front lines of this pandemic since day one, putting themselves in harm’s way to make sure our families have the food we need during this crisis,” said UFCW International President Marc Perrone. “As COVID-19 continues to infect thousands of meatpacking workers, it is stunning that USDA is further endangering these workers by allowing poultry companies to increase line speeds to dangerous new levels that increase the risk of injury and make social distancing next to impossible.’’
What I see here is another slow down and break in the food chain that is already fraying. Bad news for winter, and all based on the Great Reset model and fraud $camdemic.

"It’s a curious move by 10-year-old Moderna, which has assiduously sought news coverage as it tries to develop the first potential vaccine for COVID-19. The Cambridge company has issued press releases so frequently that some critics have accused the drug firm of boosting its stock price through hype to benefit insiders, but when it comes to a seemingly innocuous question ― why is the sign outside the 200 Technology Square building now hidden? ― the high-flying firm appears less eager to draw attention to itself....."

"Stocks pulled lower on Wall Street Tuesday following a mixed set of earnings reports from dozens of big US companies as the pandemic stole customers away and increased some costs. 3M was a particularly heavy weight on the Dow after dropping 4.8 percent. The maker of N95 masks and various other products for consumers and businesses reported a profit for the latest quarter that fell shy of analysts’ expectations. It said sales trends have been improving this month, but it also said there’s still too much uncertainty to offer forecasts for future performance. McDonald’s lost 2.5 percent after its earnings during the spring plunged by more than two-thirds from a year earlier as the pandemic kept customers away. The results were weaker than Wall Street was expecting. Ecolab slumped 8.6 percent for one of the largest losses in the S&P 500 after it said its profit fell more steeply last quarter than analysts expected. The company sells sanitizing and other products to food service companies and other customers, and it was hurt by shutdowns in travel and dining due to the pandemic. Big technology stocks also helped to drag the market lower. On the winning side was Pfizer, which climbed 3.9 percent. It reported a profit for the latest quarter that topped analysts’ expectations, even though it was down by nearly a third from a year earlier. It also nudged up its profit forecast for the full year after announcing the start of a late-stage trial of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine....."
I heard quite the oppo$ite about McDonald and Pfizer:
"Pfizer Inc. reported a 32 percent plunge in second-quarter profit, mainly due to the global coronavirus pandemic limiting marketing of and new prescriptions for its medicines, even as the drugmaker races to develop a vaccine. Still, the biggest US drugmaker by revenue posted a solid profit, nudged up parts of its 2020 financial forecast, and reaffirmed the rest. The maker of the world’s top-selling vaccine, Prevnar 13 for preventing pneumonia and related bacterial diseases, noted that as it had predicted, the pandemic restricted doctor visits by patients and company sales representatives, reducing prescriptions for new medicines and vaccination rates for many of its shots. However, sales rose for its medicines used to treat patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Pfizer is among the drugmakers leading the race to develop a safe, effective vaccine against the coronavirus. It’s one of several drugmakers included in Operation Warp Speed, the US government’s effort to accelerate development of multiple vaccines."
Rev up the engines!
"Harley-Davidson Inc. posted its first quarterly loss in more than a decade as the iconic motorcycle maker’s restructuring plans were undermined by the onset of a global pandemic. Jochen Zeitz, a former Harley board member who became chief executive officer in February, has been working to shrink the company and narrow its focus amid a five-year sales slump in its core US market. He has starved dealers of new bikes to clear out excess inventory, a move Harley said helped it charge full price for 2020 model-year bikes, but Zeitz’s belt-tightening wasn’t enough to offset a 59 percent plunge in Harley’s second quarter shipments after the coronavirus halted production in its US factories for two months."
Remember the trade flap from years ago?
That didn't $tall Harley, but the COVID $camdemic did.

"Goldman Sachs put a spotlight on the suddenly growing concern over inflation in the US by issuing a bold warning Tuesday that the dollar is in danger of losing its status as the world’s reserve currency. With Congress closing in on another round of fiscal stimulus to shore up the pandemic-ravaged economy, and the Federal Reserve having already swelled its balance sheet by about $2.8 trillion this year, Goldman strategists cautioned that US policy is triggering currency “debasement fears” that could end the dollar’s reign as the dominant force in global foreign-exchange markets. While that view is clearly still a minority one in most financial circles — and the Goldman analysts don’t say they believe it will necessarily happen — it captures a nervous vibe that has infiltrated the market this month: Investors worried that this money-printing will trigger inflation in years ahead have been bailing out of the dollar and piling furiously into gold."

"ECB urges banks to pause shareholder payouts for longer" by Nicholas Comfort Bloomberg News, July 28, 2020
The European Central Bank extended a de facto ban on banks returning capital to shareholders and urged them to show restraint on bonuses after the coronavirus outbreak, dealing a blow to lenders who lobbied for business as usual.
That's the an$wer to the problem.
The supervisor asked that banks not pay dividends or buy back shares at least until January, three months longer than initially indicated, and “to be extremely moderate with regard to variable remuneration,” according to a statement Tuesday. The ECB said it will review its stance again in the fourth quarter.
How will they keep up the stock price?
Separately, the Bank of England said it will also conduct a review at the end of the year of any plans by Britain’s biggest banks to pay dividends or resume buybacks. Both central banks had told lenders in March to conserve capital as lockdowns to combat the pandemic brought the economy to a standstill. While the move was painful for some companies and their investors, the ECB indicated it was a trade-off for unprecedented regulatory relief it had granted them to weather the crisis.
Since then, banks including BNP Paribas have been lobbying to resume dividend payments as they seek to shore up slumping share prices, Bloomberg reported. “We know that investors have not been particularly pleased with our decision, but we think this is a necessary action to be taken at this stage of heightened uncertainty,” Andrea Enria, the ECB’s top banking watchdog, told reporters on Tuesday. “It is important to ask banks to focus their capital resources on lending and loss absorption.”
The ECB said it will take into account the economic environment, stability of the financial system, and banks’ ability to plan their future capital levels when it reviews its stance again. Banks may resume dividends once the uncertainty subsides, even with levels of financial strength that are below the ECB’s overall demands, as long as the lenders can show “that their capital positions are sustainable in the medium term,” the watchdog said.
The ECB also conducted an assessment of how vulnerable euro-zone banks are to various scenarios for how the economy could be affected by the pandemic. The results should reassure investors that eurozone banks will be able to withstand the shock simulated in the main scenario, analysts at Citigroup Inc. said in a report on Tuesday in London.

"For 45 years, Najib Razak was a master of Malaysia’s cutthroat politics. The son and nephew of prime ministers, he was elected to Parliament at 22 and rose to the country’s highest office. As prime minister he was all but untouchable even as $4.5 billion disappeared from a government investment fund he controlled. On Tuesday, he was finally held to account. After years of allegations that he pilfered government coffers to lead a life of excess and luxury, he was found guilty on seven corruption counts and sentenced to up to 12 years in prison and fined nearly $50 million. The sentence was stayed pending appeal. The sweeping verdict was a stunning setback for Najib, whose political party had recently returned to power after forcing out the reformist government that won in 2018.

"Senate GOP won’t extend pandemic food stamps but doubles ‘three-martini lunch’ deduction" by Laura Reiley Washington Post, July 28, 2020
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans’ coronavirus relief proposal came under attack from a coalition of hunger advocates Tuesday for not extending funding for food assistance programs, despite rising demand during the pandemic, and while the Senate GOP proposal offers no new funds for SNAP and Pandemic EBT, it does double the tax deduction for business meals, known as the ‘‘three-martini-lunch deduction,’’ taking reimbursement from 50 percent to 100 percent of meals.
Bottoms up!
About 26 million adults reported going without enough food to eat in the previous week, according to an analysis of the Census Bureau’s weekly household data survey in early July, but in a statement, a coalition of hunger groups called on Congress not to adjourn without strengthening SNAP and extending Pandemic EBT.
COVID paving the way to a ca$hle$$ society with the government in control of food distribution.
You know what that is, right?
These programs are critical in providing relief to hungry children and their families at a time when other meal options have become scarce or more challenging, anti-hunger advocates say. Many schools are likely to reopen with virtual learning or a combination of virtual and in-person learning, making meal service inaccessible. These programs also take pressure off the nation’s food banks, many of which report shortages.
While Wall Street banks are swimming in loot.
‘‘This bill is entirely divorced from the reality of the crisis this country is facing,’’ said Sarah Reinhardt, the lead food-systems and health analyst for the Union of Concerned Scientists’ Food and Environment Program. Davis said the omission is ‘‘penny-wise, pound-foolish. It’s one of the smartest investments of federal funds our Congress could make.’’ Food insecurity has long-term effects on children’s physical health and growth, she said, negatively affecting educational outcomes, the likelihood of graduating high school, and even lifetime earnings.
The lockdowns based on this $cam are detrimental and long-lasting as well, though I will agree the poverty and hunger is the worst form of ruling cla$$ violence.
Nearly 1 in 3 low-income families report experiencing food insecurity in the past 30 days, according to the Hamilton Project. That rate is even higher for Black, Latino, and immigrant households.
The pre$$ always has to turn it into a race issue now, and what the heck is the Hamilton Project?
It's the u$ual $u$pects, readers!
‘‘Given the national conversation about institutional racism and inequality, the decision is baffling,’’ said Luis Guardia, president of the Food Research and Action Center advocacy group. ‘‘It’s hard to think of a program that has SNAP’s virtuous cycle of feeding people. That money turns over in the local economy quickly and creates more jobs, and ultimately if people have steady jobs, they aren’t hungry.’’
A different kind of FRACing.
Stacy Dean, vice president for food assistance policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank, said the Pandemic EBT program was not just about alleviating hunger. Many school districts require families to visit meal sites for pickup, which puts parents and their children at risk of infection from the virus. With Pandemic EBT, families can order food online and avoid in-person pickup.
Once again, it's the u$ual $u$pects at the $tink tank.
Hunger advocates are also worried that with the move to remote learning, many school cafeterias may stop offering meals altogether. The pandemic has caused a dramatic uptick in the number of adults who say they cannot feed the children in their household, Dean said. She said the consequences of food insecurity vary depending on a child’s age, and ‘‘a 7-year-old missing two meals is alarming,’’ she said, ‘‘but a 1- or 2-year-old missing two meals has long-term consequences for health and development. They really need steady, consistent access to nutrition.’’
What if there is no food?

It's enough to make you sick:
"A new federal report found that the number of states with outbreaks serious enough to place them in the “red zone” had grown to 21, and urged officials in those states to impose more restrictions. The 21 states now in the red zone — Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin — were designated as such because they had more than 100 new cases per 100,000 people in the past week. The findings in the new report, which contained profiles of each state, were sent to state officials by the White House’s coronavirus task force and obtained by The New York Times. The report, which was dated July 26, recommended that more restrictions be put in place in red zone states, but on Monday, a day later, President Trump called for more states to reopen. “A lot of the governors should be opening up states that they’re not opening, and we’ll see what happens with them,” Trump said during a visit to North Carolina — one of the states in the red zone. The report recommended that North Carolina “close establishments where social distancing and mask use cannot occur, such as bars” and “limit indoor dining to less than 25 percent of normal capacity.” It made similar recommendations for other hard-hit states, calling for reducing the occupancy of other businesses, closing gyms, and urging people to scale back their public interactions and activities to a quarter of what they normally are. Mask mandates were consistently recommended for states and cities where the virus is spreading. Noting that Arizona, included in the red zone, had seen cases level off in recent days, the report credited its “aggressive mitigation efforts of mask wearing, social distancing and closing bars,” but some governors continue to be resistant. When Dr. Deborah L. Birx, the Trump administration’s coronavirus response coordinator, visited Tennessee on Monday, she spoke with Governor Bill Lee, a Republican, about mask mandates, but he was loath to issue a statewide order. Currently, Vermont is the only state in the “green zone” category for cases, with less than 10 cases a week per 100,000 people. The remaining 28 states and the District of Columbia were placed in the “yellow zone.”
Nike still pulled out of Arizona, and this is ASININE, folks!
F**k their federal report -- from where we don't know -- that uses the silly, colorer-coded charts like the fake terror alerts of the 2000s while recommending increased shutdowns and tyrannical measures that will keep the virus alive and deny us herd immunity from a virus that I'm coming to believe doesn't even exist. This is all simulated numbers and lies.
"Local health officials in Texas do not have the authority to close schools solely to prevent a future spread of the coronavirus, state Attorney General Ken Paxton said Tuesday, pushing that decision solely into the hands of school officials. Paxton issued a “legal guidance” letter on schools amid fierce debate among local governments, health officials, parents, and teaches as to when schools should open in a state that has become one of the nation’s hot spots. Dozens of cities, counties and school districts — including in the most populous areas — have already decided to delay school reopenings."
They are caving under threats from the teachers:
"The second-largest teachers’ union in the United States announced on Tuesday that it would support its 1.7 million members if they choose to strike in districts and states that move to reopen classrooms without adequate health and safety measures. The union, the American Federation of Teachers, said strikes should be a “last resort,” but the resolution approved by the organization’s executive council gives educators and their union representatives additional muscle in negotiations over what would constitute adequate protection for teachers and school employees. The union is pushing for schools to wait to reopen classrooms until coronavirus transmission rates in a community fall below 1 percent and average daily test positivity rates stay below 5 percent — something very few places have achieved. A recent New York Times analysis found that only two of the nation’s 10 largest school districts could reopen under the latter threshold. The union also wants effective contact tracing in place in regions that reopen schools, mask requirements for students and teachers, updated ventilation systems in buildings, and procedures to maintain 6 feet of distance between individuals. Randi Weingarten, the union’s president, said that if the federal government can support the cruise industry and hedge funds during the crisis, “they sure as hell can help working families, and can help educators ensure our kids get the education they need.”
They had a whole bunch of other demands that dovetail with BLM, and we all know this is about one man. I hope the ungrateful ejewkhaters are all out of jobs come fall.
"Labor unions representing transportation workers formally asked the US Transportation Department this week to issue an emergency rule ordering passengers to wear masks on planes, buses, and trains or be denied a ride. Larry Willis, president of Transportation Trades Department, a coalition of 33 unions, wrote in the petition that the government needed to go beyond issuing guidance and set clear rules for the use of masks to protect workers and passengers. ‘‘This regulation should require that passengers wear masks covering the nose and mouth while on board buses, trains, airplanes, and passenger vessels ,’’ Willis wrote to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao on Monday. The Transportation Department has been willing to waive existing safety rules at the request of industry groups to ease the transportation of freight on trucks, trains, and airplanes, but Chao has said writing new rules in response to the pandemic could be problematic, with difficulties in undoing them once the crisis passes."
She is worried about discrimination lawsuits, that is always what happens with the application of tyranny, and you are better off staying on the ground anyway.

"On Monday evening, Facebook scrubbed from its site a viral video showing a group of doctors making misleading and false claims about the coronavirus pandemic after more than 14 million people had watched it. Hours later, President Trump tweeted out multiple clips of the same video to his 84.2 million followers. Trump shared the video — which claims that face masks and lockdowns are not needed to stop the disease — as he shared 14 tweets over a half-hour span defending the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug that the president has repeatedly promoted, and attacking Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-diseases expert. Twitter soon followed Facebook and YouTube in removing the videos, deleting several of the tweets that Trump shared, and even adding a note to its trending topics warning about the potential risks of hydroxychloroquine use. On Tuesday, Twitter penalized Donald Trump Jr. for posting hydroxychloroquine misinformation, the social media giant said, Twitter said it ordered the president’s son to delete the misleading tweet and said it would ‘‘limit some account functionality for 12 hours.’’ The tweet, which featured a viral video showing a group of doctors making misleading and false claims about the coronavirus pandemic, was directly tweeted by Trump Jr.’s account."

"Can you get COVID-19 twice? A veteran at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home who had seemingly recovered from virus tests positive; Active positive case identified at hard-hit home for first time in weeks" by Felice J. Freyer and Matt Stout Globe Staff, July 28, 2020
Alarm bells went off for me because what they just described defies science.
State officials have temporarily cut off visitation at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home after a resident who seemed to have recovered from the novel coronavirus tested positive again, signaling a possible reemergence of COVID-19 at a facility that had endured one of the nation’s most notorious outbreaks.
Our governor has blood all over his hands, but the blame goes to Trump.
The resident began showing symptoms Monday and was transferred to a local hospital, where he tested positive, a state official said Tuesday.
It was the first time in weeks that an active positive case had been identified at the Soldiers’ Home, now under interim leadership after at least 76 elderly residents died of the virus and dozens more fell ill amid shocking conditions earlier this year.
Asked whether state officials believe the man had become infected a second time, Brooke Karanovich, a spokeswoman for the state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services, said, “We don’t know the answer to that. That’s one of the things about the pandemic — that it’s new. We don’t know exactly what this is.”
Yet an economy was killed and a way of life destroyed by you criminals!
Experts said that it’s possible, but uncommon, for people to get infected and sick with the coronavirus more than once.
Reinfection is “not the rule, it’s the exception,” said Dr. Michael Mina, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
Or WE ARE BEING LIED TO by these bastards!
Mina likened the immune system to memory. Some people need to study a fact more than once before they can retain it — and some need to confront a virus multiple times before they develop a strong immune response. That’s why many vaccines require booster doses to be effective.
Look at the bull$hit flow out of his mouth as he acts like a $ale$man for Big Pharma.
Likewise, he said, both immunity and memory decline with age. Just as an older person may forget someone’s name, his immune system may fail to recognize a virus that it has encountered before. This happens with many infections, not just the coronavirus.
(Blog editor shaking head at the absurdity)
Another possible explanation for the veteran’s illness, Mina said, is that the original virus lay dormant in his body for a time and then resurfaced. It’s also possible that he came down with an unrelated illness, and his COVID-19 test came back positive because virus fragments from the first infection remained harmlessly in his body.
I would enlarge that more if could. The test would pick up former coronaviruses and they do not specifically identify COVID-19.
You test positive if you had a cold!
Anyhow, we reach this point in the article now knowing that the scary headline and inference is TOTAL BULL$HIT!
No one has solid documentation of someone coming down with COVID-19 more than once, said Marc Lipsitch, director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard’s public health school.
Korean health authorities reviewed more than 100 cases of people who tested positive, then negative, then positive again. “All could be explained as false negatives or the virus beginning to replicate heavily again after being at a lower level,” Lipsitch said.
Or it COULD BE a FALSE POSITIVE, $cumbag!
It’s possible the Holyoke veteran’s illness is a case of reinfection, but that doesn’t mean that COVID-19 fails to confer immunity, Lipsitch cautioned. “That would be like saying, if one plane crashes then no plane is safe,” he said.
“It’s very likely that people will be immune to COVID after infection, and that immunity will be imperfect — it won’t last forever and will be protective but not perfectly protective in some people,” he said.....
Look at that disassembling a$$hole spew doublespeak in contravention to all know science!

"Mayor Walsh rips cruise ship company for large crowd, says city is at ‘halftime’ in coronavirus fight" by Travis Andersen and Jaclyn Reiss Globe Staff, July 28, 2020
Mayor Martin J. Walsh on Tuesday faulted a local cruise ship company for packing a large crowd onto its vessel over the weekend in Boston Harbor, saying the scene was ill-advised as the city and region continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
“That cruise going out in the harbor that night was not well thought out,” Walsh said during a press conference outside City Hall, “and I would ask the cruise line to don’t do it again. . . . Not only are you putting your company in harm’s way, you’re putting the people that go on the ship in harm’s way by putting them in a confined space where you really can’t physically distance in the right way. So I would suggest that you be very careful.”
They were ratted out by Walz and he has no problem with approved protests and riots of all kinds, the hypocritical bastard.
Right now, Walsh continued, “it’s important for us to stay very vigilant in keeping our numbers down. We think we’re winding down on COVID-19, but we’re not. If we’re in a sporting event, we’re probably at halftime right now. Which means we have another five or six or seven, or eight, nine months to go. So we still have to be very careful.”
Yeah, I already heard that.
Walsh’s comments came one day after the city issued a cease-and-desist order to Bay State Cruise Co., which operates the boat, demanding that it put a stop to activities that officials said did not conform with the state’s reopening plan.
Better head for open water!
Walsh, turning during his Tuesday briefing to headlines elsewhere in the United States, said he’s stunned that elected officials in other states are still resistant to wearing face coverings in public. He also criticized the Trump administration for its recent announcement that it’s revoking an Obama-era housing regulation designed to eliminate racial disparities in the suburbs.
He says “housing is a human right, and it’s the only way to battle decades of racist housing policy(???).”
Walsh was also asked about the return of college students to the city and the planned reopening of Boston Public Schools in September.....
They will all be carrying COVID, you know?

"Andy’s Barber Shop has been a fixture at Falmouth Plaza since the shopping center opened nearly 60 years ago, but the shop’s 89-year-old owner, Andy Dufresne, has decided the time has come to close its doors. The shop closed in March when the coronavirus pandemic hit Massachusetts. To reopen, Dufresne would have to wear a mask and gloves, sanitize chairs and the surrounding areas after each haircut, change his barber coat for each customer, and follow other extensive safety guidelines. Dufresne and his longtime partner at the shop, Billy Tobia, decided the regulations were a bit too tough for them to follow, but Dufresne’s time as a barber isn’t quite over yet. He hopes to keep cutting his clients’ hair from remote locations and give haircuts at hospitals and nursing homes....."
