South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster issued an emergency order saying the state would likely feel the effects of the major winter storm starting Sunday morning.
The storm, after dipping down into the Southeast through the weekend, was so large it was expected to head into the Northeast while dropping snow, sleet and rain around the densely populated Eastern Seaboard. A winter storm watch extended from just north of metro Atlanta to Arkansas in the west and Pennsylvania in the north, covering parts of 10 states including Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia. Travel problems could extend into metro Atlanta, where about 2 inches of snow brought traffic to a slip-sliding halt in 2014, an event still known as “Snowmaggedon.”
'Snowmaggedon' had snow freezing as it hit the roads, and temperatures dropping further all afternoon. Turned the whole traffic clogged mess into an ice rink.

South Korea gets first supply of Pfizer's COVID-19 pills | AP NewsSEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea on Thursday received its first supply of Pfizer’s antiviral COVID-19 pills to treat patients with mild or moderate symptoms. Health officials have described the Paxlovid pills as a potentially important tool to suppress hospitalizations and deaths, as the country braces for another possible surge in infections driven by the contagious omicron variant. Meanwhile, in the USA the days of 'warp speed' operations for anti-COVID drugs left with the last administration. Sad!

Garbage and recyclables pile up as omicron takes its toll | AP NewsNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The omicron variant is sickening so many sanitation workers around the U.S. that some cities have had to delay or suspend garbage or recycling pickup, angering residents shocked that governments can’t perform this most basic of functions. governments? I thought most waste companies are private?...Mine is... Maybe those angry citizens should examine why the workers are getting sick and go get vaccinated themselves. This isn’t a surprise if you watch the “real” news. I thought the virus was a hoax.

Businesses react to ruling against Biden vaccine mandate | AP NewsFor companies that were waiting to hear from the U.S. Supreme Court before deciding whether to require vaccinations or regular coronavirus testing for workers, the next move is up to them. Many large corporations were silent on Thursday's ruling by the high court to block a requirement that workers at businesses with at least 100 employees be fully vaccinated or else test regularly for COVID-19 and wear a mask on the job. But they can impose those restrictions on organisations with less than 100 employees? That sounds unfair to small businesses and it will further weaken their ability to compete with big corps in local markets. High inflation, which the American people do not want and cannot afford, continues to break records. No surprise from this group: 3 appointed by the insurrectionist, 1 appointed by a failed GOP potus, 2 appointed by his prodigal son.

US to allow teen semi drivers in test apprenticeship program | AP NewsDETROIT (AP) — The federal government is moving forward with a plan to let teenagers drive big rigs from state to state in a test program. Currently, truckers who cross state lines must be at least 21 years old, but an apprenticeship program required by Congress to help ease supply chain backlogs would let 18-to-20-year-old truckers drive outside their home states. Their brains aren’t done developing yet Sounds like the solution to the problem is worse than the problem...😟 Teens (and their problems) driving across state lines for days on end for little pay? Which side of the wheel will the video game panel be?

Navient settlement: Indebted student borrowers to benefit | AP NewsTens of thousands of people with student loans could see their loans canceled as part of a nationwide settlement with Navient, a major student loan collecting company. If approved by a judge, the settlement cancels $1.7 billion in private loan debt. 1.85 billion is only about 0.1% of all student debt. In perspective, roughly $1 has been cancelled for every $1000 of student debt. This won't affect millions of struggling people who worked hard and paid dearly to fill positions requiring an expensive college education. Navient transferred my student loans to Aidvantage in December so what does that mean?!
