Vermont’s Emerging “Nanny State”? (UN’COVID’EMPLOYMENT)

Publisher’s Note: This missive was sent to us by a Vermont neighbor this morning. Let’s frame it with a question. Vermonters! Would you work for $45,000 a year if by claiming personal danger (to coronavirus) you could quit and be paid $55,000? According to a new article published by VtDigger, Vermonters might make more money on corona-related unemployment than they can staying in their jobs or looking for a new job. Our neighbor wrote: “What sort of “intelligence” is guiding us? An intelligence for whom the scent of silica is ambrosia, the work of robots “life”-saving & IoT purest “wish”-fulfillment, an intelligence that’s grooming us to be 5-G’ed stay-at-home, trembling Nanny-stated soulless IDIOTS? There is real malevolence. Real. As real as I’ve ever experienced….” Amen.
