*Group Warns USDA May Be Quietly Trying to Outsource Chicken Processing to China.*

The idea is to let Chinese companies inspect them, or claim to inspect them, to bypass the already-weakened US inspection requirements.

The Justice in Policing Act, proposed in Congress, would help restrain violence by thugs, but it doesn't go far enough.

Eliminating qualified immunity will do some good. Reducing the standard of intention will, too. Keeping track of thugs that have been dismissed for brutality could do some good but only if violent thugs are more likely to be fired than they are now — and none of the provisions seem designed achieve that.

Nothing in the bill, as far as I can see, would directly affect whether prosecutors protect violent thugs.

Helping the Department of Justice investigate violent thug departments would do some good if someday we have a Department of Justice run by someone that aims to reduce wanton violence by thugs, rather that promoting it as now.

The bill would not make thug departments give up any of the heavy weapons that they already own, or reduce the number of SWAT teams, nor stop the no-knock raids carried out by state and local thug departments to give SWAT teams practice.

The staff of a MacDonalds in California have been on strike two weeks demanding protective equipment. 11 of them now have Covid-19. It is clear they were spreading it to each other, because they could not help it.

All workers that work in proximity to other people should have protective equipment, and employers should be legally required to provide it,

What about when there is a shortage, as now? We could make the employer pay hazard pay on top of the usual wage, plus the full costs of treatment as well as lost wages to all workers that get sick. Then employers would push our plutocratist government to make sure enough protective equipment gets made.

Seattle's mayor told the city thus that they were forbidden to use tear gas on protesters unless they want to use it.

Radical city council member Kshama Sawant was one of the protesters who was gassed; she calls for the mayor to resign.

Everyone: consider demanding that Netflix cancel the video programs that glorify thugs.

I signed the petition after some hesitation, because I condemn Netflix totally for its injustice to its users. To watch anything via Netflix entails surrendering to injustice.

I cannot envision Netflix as ever doing any sort of business in a way that doesn't mistreat the customers. I think the right campaign goal is to eliminate Netflix entirely, not just a subset of the videos it streams.

However, eventually I concluded that the petition does not explicitly legitimize Netflix's business practices, so I could sign.

Whether you sign the petition or not, please join me in >rejecting Netflix yourself.
