After whistleblower outs Facebook on 60 minutes, platform is down..

A landmark Israeli study published in August found that vaccinated individuals who never had COVID-19 were 13 times more likely to receive a breakthrough infection than unvaccinated individuals who had been infected and recovered.

Are biden and the democrats really this stupid? No but 80m Americans obviously are...

It says mandatory VACATIONS not vaccinations.

Raised my family selling alcohol for 25 years, witnessed many a salesman loose their career because they could not control their drinking. Because they never did random testing those that smoked never lost their jobs because they didn't become bullet proof like drinkers think they become.

"It’s a gateway drug" Where I totally disagree with you my friend, you are not wrong in that comment. Those that medicate sometimes find it is a progression from alcohol > cannabis > prescription pills > illicit pills > heroin > fentanyl > meth. What ever it takes to get them to that happy place in their mind. Drugs can be looked at the same way we look at guns. Guns and drugs don't kill people, people kill people and sometimes themselves with guns and drugs...

"It’s no worse than alcohol" NO, alcohol is worse than cannabis and the average "dealer" doesn't sell all three or try to convince a user to try another substance.

"They're trying to find unreported income from people who make ANY amount of money" After 22 days we have a winner, spot on CB.

Paul Harvey stated almost the same thing in 1965 This should wake everyone up.

I personally know hundreds of fellow employees over the years that medicate. Weather that be cannabis, legal/illegal pills or alcohol and alcohol is probably the most common medication used by outside sales people. Heck I could go to 75% of the football games in Houston and point out officials who I guarantee smoked cannabis 1 hour before kick off. I don't think its a sad reflection on the workforce, more of a reflection of todays problems in society.

Take a step back, I'm not arguing or disagreeing with you. I was just pointing out the facts of the debate and why I called it a red herring. Like covid, if you don't screen for it, it's a mute point on employment status. Last I checked there is no federal or state law that requires drug screen for employment, but I am not positive. What I do know is any employer public or private can require a drug screen if it is their policy. I think if you work a job where "safety" is the number one responsibility, those employees should be random checked. Same goes for truck drivers, mfg, medical, law enforcement. The actual point of my comment was, people medicate each and everyday and the chance that you will interact with a person who is medicated is close to 50%. By medication I am referring to cannabis, alcohol, tobacco and prescription drugs.

Ok so we are all on the same page as you have thrown out several numbers. The first that I saw was the 30k-40k you stated was your SSI/Medicare portion, that is when I questioned it. Now after the fact I am seeing your $9K SSI/Medicare contribution, which yes I believe is a true number for your profession what ever that may be. I don't think your statement "a good portion" is true as SSI/Medicare is 7.65% which would be matched by your employer. Your 30k-40k would be your total withholdings, which once again is probably true, so good for.

So you are telling us that your SSI and Medicare withholding is "30k-40k? Laughable very laughable, those two taxes together are a meager 7.65% of YOUR deductions, not yours and the matching 7.65% ADDED by your employer. If you are in that tax bracket, you would not be worrying about SSI and medicare. You would be smart enough to have one or several retirement systems to give a higher return on investment. Our fact checkers have determined your comment false...

Not moving to Colorado buddy, moving to Michigan. Actually most employers do not random test anymore, especially the education system. Hemp is now legal in Texas which has led to the CBD craze, but the current testing procedures cannot tell the difference between someone that smoked CDB less than .1 THC content and Cannabis with 15%-30% THC. Your comment "no one wants people who are actively high out here driving and delivering packages", is actually laughable. If you or anyone else knew how many people "medicate" and that what it is, medicating everyday you would be shocked. It would scare the heck out of most people if I took y'all down the rabbit hole of those who medicate on a daily basis and 99.9% of you would never know it. Chances are 50% of the work force is working with someone right now that medicated before work, during their breaks or lunch and when they get home. There is no difference between medicating with cannabis or prescription drugs that people use everyday that contain opioids or Hydrocodone.
