Union walkout at Baldwin's movie before shooting

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-10-22/alec-baldwin-rust-camera-crew-walked-off-set

"Safety protocols standard in the industry, including gun inspections, were not strictly followed on the “Rust” set near Santa Fe, the sources said. They said at least one of the camera operators complained last weekend to a production manager about gun safety on the set"

I see little discussion of the fact that union members walked off for safety concerns. No union propmasters on-site. Three previous accidental discharges.

Nobody wants to say that hiring scabs can cost lives. Ignoring worker's concerns costs lives.

Sign up for ADA/Obamacare extended to Aug. 15th

One thing I love about President Joe is his undoing and improving the past ugliness of that other administration.

ACA offering lower costs and higher subsidies for more people.

I'm fed up with Govenor Brown

No vaccinations for disabled and elderly until next month or later Maybe those 80+ will be vaccinated next month.

Why? Because she wants schools to reopen and they'll be vaccinating teachers and staff. Schools are reopen and reopening now. During the worst time of the worst pandemic.

In the meantime, they haven't finished vaccinating healthcare workers or long term care residents.

The elderly are welcome to die and continuing to overwhelm our healthcare system.

New covid strain more dangerous for children

https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/03/consultant-slams-garbage-claims-that-covid-wards-are-full-of-children-13839743/

A senior nurse claimed they had a covid ward full of children.

The British government pushed back that the information was wrong

BUT the article says the new strain may be more dangerous for children.

If this new strain is more dangerous for children and the healthy that should be communicated to the public. If they don't know they should say so.

Any other reliable information out there?
