An industry providing thousands of well paying (by local standards) jobs for educated filipinos as a path for them and their dependents to get out of poverty…
Not saying that exploitation doesn’t exist, or that they shouldn’t pay more, or that we don’t live in a shitty exploitative world where boomers holidays are built on the back of developing world labour…
But… The attitude amoung overseas Filipino workers (of which there are about 10 million, or 10% of the population) to these jobs is very different to ours.
Pretty great news as a live poker pro. I’m pretty sure I’ve caught all the colds going around the last few years lol… I’ve certainly been exposed to more than the average person.
It’s probably not a great idea to be volunteering a whole bunch of really personal details to some company you’ve never heard of that does data mining as its main line of business.
“I happen to be taking it,” Florida Man said during a roundtable event at the White House. “A lot of good things have come out. You’d be surprised at how many people are taking it, especially the front-line workers. Before you catch it. The front-line workers, many, many are taking it.”
He added: “I’m taking it, hydroxychloroquine. Right now, yeah. Couple of weeks ago, I started taking it. Cause I think it’s good, I’ve heard a lot of good stories.”
That’s another option. The doctor just gave him some sugar pills and said, “Sir yes sir, Mr. President sir, this is your hydroxychloroquine sir. It’s the best hydroxychloroquine in all the land sir, we made it specially for you, sir.”
I know this probably has little to do with anything, but its proponents don’t even claim it’s preventative, do they? The trials are on people who already have it, I think.
In between the Operation Warp Speed member making a boatload of money and now this story my conspiracy theory radar is really going off the charts on this vaccine news today.
