    They have NFI what is going on, and react like goldfish given mild electric shocks.

    For example, the poor buggers who live either side of the Queensland border have been subjected to a bewildering series of changing and conflicting ‘rules’ which change every few days. A lot of businesses have employees and premises on both sides, and it must be absolute hell for them.

    Same goes for other linked cross border areas like Albury/Wodonga.

    In a tiny island of sanity, the otherwise Stasi-like ACT government has not tried to block links between Canberra and Queanbeyan. But we in Queanbeyan know that is only because if they did, there would be no-one available to unblock their drains or fix their circuit boards.

    Wow.

    And he wasn’t the only one. Another one had $10m on the slate.

    Not clear if they were from the mainland or HK.

    What were they thinking?

    Incoherent,

    It was a couple of things, the front line workers have always been sceptical, but the conversations today showed that they were more aligned and adamant of the BS than ever.  Significance here is really just the ongoing alignment and consolidation of views.

    There also seems to be the start of a management team revolt.  The company communication and some managers have been very vocal.  However a lot have been silent.  Conversations today indicate that “silent” means informed, knowledgeable with a clear view that this is dangerous BS of the highest order.  Also the silent are quietly connecting with each other and realising that they are not alone in a sea of mass psychosis.

    Someone asked me today:  Are you clear about what you’re going to say when they tell you to get vaccinated?  Yes, get fucked!  Good, that’s good!

    Just had a word to my friendly travel agent.  I have an O/s trip booked for late next year, already put off for three years.  Croatia and the rest.

    Covid rules for entry – double vaxxed plus a negative test on entry otherwise – do not pass go, do not have holiday.  If you happen to pass a covid shedding filth-bot somewhere in transit…there goes the holiday.

    Arky was right.  You might be double, triple, quadruple vaxxed.  You might have syringes bristling out of you like a porcupine.  You can still get to the other side of the  world and be denied entry.

    Why bother?
