The_Franz posted:given that it generally wasn't a question of 'if', but 'when' the afghanistan government would fall, they should have had a contingency plan for getting people who's lives were directly at risk due to working with us forces out instead of the mess at the airport or leaving them to fend for themselves and try to run to uzbekistan, turkmenistan or tajikistan. oh yeah, should have had these people desperate not to ever leave draw up a plausible-sounding exit strategy and it'd all have been fine

i hate narrow split rulings like this because i keep looking for some critical underlying legal argument but in reality it's just a purely utilitarian decision cynically designed to be the most beneficial and supplicant to capital. why can't the regulatory agency created and mandated with protecting worker safety keep workers safe by protecting them from the deadly airborne respiratory virus that is often spread in workplaces? they said because it isn't related to the job, but neither are slips and falls or a variety of other things that OSHA is allowed to regulate? oh right yeah it doesn't make sense, it wasn't meant to.

In a 5-4 ruling, the constitution doesn't literally contain the words "COVID-19" so the federal government is not allowed to do anything about it.

I wonder when she's finally going to snap at someone. she seems to get more and more snippy every week of course, that's probably par for the course when it's your job to constantly reiterate the everything is fine well past the point where the fire is consuming the room and everyone in it
