Chicago police union head urges cops to defy vaccine mandateThe head of the Chicago police officers union has called on its members to defy the city's requirement to report their COVID-19 vaccination status by Friday or be placed on unpaid leave. In the video posted online Tuesday and first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara vowed to take Mayor Lori Lightfoot's administration to court if it tries to enforce the mandate, which requires city workers to report their vaccine status by the end of the work week. After Friday, unvaccinated workers who won't submit to semiweekly coronavirus testing will be placed on unpaid leave. Over 50% are refusing to comply, most of them are vaccinated but refuse to accept tyrannical govt policies. The firefighters union is likely to walk as well. This won't end well. I am all for encouraging vax, but the required sharing of your info and the mandate is wrong.

Who should police the web?Politicians should not offload the responsibility onto others thanks Big tech have a monopoly, especially Google. It's basically a utility that they are safeguarding which in my mind means that, if they continue to have this unfair position they need to be subject to more regulation, or they are put under more pressure to promote fair competition. Yesss. When I was a late 20th century grad student, the rule then was that all computer users were responsible for all their computer input. Nowadays, accountability seems more questionable, not a good way to go.
