Of course they are exempt, but because they already serve more than anyone, in the form of the surveillance and weapons tech they sell.
Okay, I think it's more and worse than that.
It looks to me in large part like a sales pitch to Donald Trump and that wing of the US government. Except it's a little more complex than that, because remember that JD Vance is a scion of Peter Thiel, the clear alignment with Musk, etc. and we have to accept that Palantir's leaders aren't pitching to Trump, they were key parts of creating him.
There's essentially an entire paragraph devoted to to Elon Musk (16). That is beyond contempt for a mission statement. Although of course they are implicitly also narcissistically congratulating themselves, because they too are billionaires with a narrative.

I'm also interested by the tensions between:
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
He's celebrating the USA's progressive tradition... but what the fuck does he think that involved? Progressiveness meant welcoming immigrants, enfranchising women, and black people, and homosexuals etc., giving opportunities to the non-elites. So, the USA was amazing at being inclusive? So is this good (13) or bad (22)? And here's another thought... maybe progressivity and inclusivity... are part of the US national culture. (Or maybe that's were part of the national culture, we're in Trumpworld now and that's being rolled back.) So inclusion into what? A society that values inclusivity!
At worst, 22 sounds like the worst grumbles of witless conservatism where someone complains their free speech is being infringed because someone complains whenever they call black people or gay people... you know the words.
I realize there's lots of things affecting whether you get sick or not. It's not as simple as just say you breath in 100 microbes of viral material and you get sick. People are quite variable. A person may be more susceptible to RSV vs the flu. If you're of European descent, you have about a 20% to be immune to norovirus. One rather basic thing is that most people have near constant inflammation caused by eating poorly, that means their immune systems are constantly working more than it should and it makes them more susceptible to getting infected. Messaging to eat properly would've had a greater effect on covid spread and severity than masking. Obviously, this is very anecdotal, but pretty much every time I get sick, it coincides with someone I spend lots of time with being sick, I hardly just get sick out of the blue so I'm very much doubting there's much of a chance of getting sick from going to the store. There's also really no actual data/studies showing that stores are indeed a significant place of transmission either.
I'm saying that if people legitimately cared about covid (and flu and other upper respiratory infections) and keeping transmissions down, the one super basic change to be learned from the pandemic would be to make it so people don't have to go to work when sick. But no, people virtue signaled over masks and vaccines that did nothing to lower the transmission rate.
I agree that it seems more likely at schools and indoor sit-down restaurants. But it also seems silly to assume that other, seemingly less likely avenues are safe. A lot might hinge (get it?) on whether a grocery store has automatic doors or if you have to touch something to get in and out. Or if there is a deli and the circumstances around that.
Either there will be an optional module where you are asked to install it if in a jurisdiction that requires it (the choice being left up to the user, of course since the OS cannot know the laws of your jurisdiction before it's even installed) or Linux distros simply...state that their license for future releases is no longer offered in those jurisdictions.
What's going to be fun is how you apply these laws to things like system users that are never meant to be interactively logged into but are still users nonetheless or devices that technically run something that meets the definition of an operating system but are for example wireless routers.
Children are drivers are the flu, possibly primary drivers. Children were not for covid. I was for closing places like restaurants, bars, theaters, etc; any large prolonged indoor gatherings. We probably got more beaches and parks closed than restaurants, backwards policies. Covid wasn't spread via surfaces (super rare essentially) and we knew that before it broke out in the US.
They are significant sources of spread, are they not?
I was speaking of diseases more generally.
Texas can require public schools to display Ten Commandments in classrooms, U.S. appeals court rules
The ACLU said the decision "tramples those rights" of families "to choose how, when and if to provide their children with religious instruction."
Not for covid, kids don't have the ACE2 receptors like adults and that's what covid attacked.
COVID-19 in Primary and Secondary School Settings During the First
COVID-19 school-related cases among Florida students correlated
I figured, but there was videos of nurses using paint or whatever showing you how easy covid could spread via surfaces and all those videos were misinformation.
CIA up to their old shit again. Can't be having Mexico show up America by producing national healthcare with less money now can we? Who's heading that at mo? Tulsi Gabbard the Hawaiian cult (with increasingly suspected CIA connected cult leader) born and raised? Have to keep saying the long version cos no bloody news or mainstream talking heads will. The Putin stuff is so fucking weak it's almost like they've an active interest in whitewashing her history
Hm everytime I see a phoenix post I feel like the aliens at the end of Steven Speilberg's A I.

Pete Hegseth has declared that the flu vaccine is no longer mandatory for American troops, since communicable diseases can easily be defeated with machismo.

Meanwhile, limp-wristed soyboy liberal cuck George Washington was adamant that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. What did he know? I bet he never blew up any children with missiles!

Vaccination programs in the U.S. military date back to the American Revolution, but they became a contentious political issue during the coronavirus pandemic.

He's responsible for killing Native American kids, but not with missiles and on a lesser scale.
Trump envoy asks Fifa to replace Iran with Italy at World Cup finals

Inoculation =/= vaccination. Inoculation is better because it gives you natural immunity and not the autism.Pete Hegseth has declared that the flu vaccine is no longer mandatory for American troops, since communicable diseases can easily be defeated with machismo.

You just got destroyed, you limp-wristed liberal cucktard.
Infinitely. They are infinitely corrupt.FIFA make a profit one year in four. That's the World Cup year. The essence of the World Cup is how much money FIFA can shove into its pockets: that's why they love dodgy autocrats, because autocrats throw money at FIFA to launder their international reputations. And Trump is basically just like a dodgy autocrat.
You know I’m kinda impressed just how brazen the suggestion is.
.
There’s that but to FIFA’s mild defense those countries are likely among the few who actually want host FIFA. Most democracies would need to explain the gigantic cost to a grumpy electorate, especially these days while costs are rising.
Even football country Brazil had the public rather annoyed about having to host
So instead of attacking this guy on a whole range of issues, they precede to attack short men, and specially Asian males who for example voted for the Vice-President Kamala Harris at 61%. Okay. Also it's funny Vietnamese people whose average height in Vietnam is 5' 6" are being attacked despite the fact it's a relationship that the US has been growing with given the pivot to the Indio-Pacific and the fact that Vietnamese people voted for Harris, and Biden at above 60% with Harris being at 65%.
Edit here's a better estimate.
