Obviously the health officials did not talk to anyone even loosely affiliated with an actual school. For reasons big or small, terrible or sympathetic, parents send children to school sick all the time.

[tesria]

Schools have spent decades encouraging nonsensical levels of attendance, rewarding kids who don’t take a single day off all term/semester/year, and even punishing kids who take “too much” time off sick. Kids who actually get ill enough to stay home miss out on fun things and “prizes” and awards, because going to school with the flu (or almost anything else) is considered right, good, and necessary.

Then a pandemic comes along that solidly half the population insists is “just the flu” and you think people are going to forget that you indoctrinated them to believe that if they were capable of being conscious (and sometimes not even then) they should be in school? (And later, in work - this is at least part of the point of this stuff, training you to work while sick).

To say nothing of the simple fact that parents are frequently without childcare options and are forced to be in work even if they should be isolating. That’s also a huge problem.

you could sit in a room with all these on the walls and have a conversation between two people and one person’s just pointing at one of’em after another

Holy shit, op, how long have you been doing this project? These are really good and there are a lot of them…

sick of this shit

I don’t think people realize just how draconian and horrifying this is, and they’re keeping it that way, because this is a “must-pass” bill forced into a federal spending bill and if this isn’t included in it, then the government will be forced to shut down during the pandemic and during a time of massive poverty and hunger and homelessness

In essence, this law seeks to criminalize DMCA violations, whether it be copyrighted music included in a tiktok or instagram video, copyrighted footage of a movie on youtube, or copyrighted music in a twitch vod, not with a DMCA strike or a take down, but fucking imprisonment

Senator Thom TIllis, the wretch forcing this shit into law, is backed by Creative Future, a lobbying group consisting of corporate lawyers and lobbyists for the entertainment industry, which, under the name Creative America back in the early 2010′s, were the ones behind the SOPA/PIPA bills that would’ve drastically controlled communications on the internet and given control of it to corporations

This doesn’t appear to be reversible as trying to veto this legislation would shut down the federal government. It isn’t just a major blow to creativity and freedom of expression that will force streamers and social media personalities into totalitarian servantry under the command of massive media corporations, but opens the doors for the total annihilation of freedom of speech online.

Guys the omnibus has not been passed. They are currently gunning for a continuing resolution until December 18th so they can discuss it next week. It’s fully possible that this will be taken off the omnibus bill before it’s passed. If you wish to do something to discourage this being a part of the omnibus bill then you can contact your congressmen and encourage them to take it off. It’s not much but still.

[titleknown]

Rebloggin because, this is in fact less doom and gloom than it appears, and I’ve actually contacted my congresspeople (Tho by email because COVID means they ain’t taking calls,) and please, please for the love of god do so too when you can.
