My contract ends in April. Indications before the crisis were that it would be prolonged, but I am not so sure now since their business will probably suffer.

The last week especially I have been getting a lot of messages with offers, so its really hard to say.

This is exactly what is going to happen.

In our country they implemented a web page, where you can snitch on people who you suspect to be infected.

So as it turns out, it seems that if you put enough pressure (fictional or real) on a group of people, they will submit themselves to draconian rule for the benefit of the collective and at the same time feel good about themselves because they work for the common good. Sound familiar??

You could buy 0.018 Tomahawk missiles for that or treat 54 people for every Tomahawk missile fired.

All of the Tomahawk missiles fired since 2001 would have provided 119.000 people with free Corona treatment.

I am thinking that countries with free healthcare care more about keeping their own people healthy than dropping missiles and misery on other countries people.

Ah, the joys of categorizing people into boxes. The man is an Anarcho-Syndicalist, so ergo, we now can derive all he thinks from this assumption.

Interesting concept to sell a shell service. I hope we will see this more in the future.

Is it really really necessary to have that captcha?? Lending brain power to the worlds biggest advertising and spy operation is a turn off. Besides it sucks to sit there and click endless images of traffic lights, cars, busses and store fronts...
