Open for Business identified eight key areas in which the AHA has impacted Uganda’s economy, including international aid, foreign direct investment, tourism and national reputation, public health, national productivity, policing and legal costs, human capital and talent flight, and trade relations.

This approach would be a step along the way to that goal. A good chunk of fascist support comes from people selling supplements or used cars (there was a recent It Could Happen Here ep discussing this). Those people have money, power, and outsized influence on politics from local to federal. Disrupting their profits disrupts and dilutes their power. If your goal is to disrupt fascism there must be concrete steps to doing that, and this would be one.

They're already spreading COVID-19 around so why not pick up more diseases? They're top athletes with superior health, should be able to handle anything!

But he wasn't hiding, he was lost and needed help being found. If the cops had listened to the mom he would've been found sooner without the unnecessary invasion of privacy.

The 5-year-old was honking the horn on the bus for help when he was found, she said.

I don't think they're defending PRC, just pointing out there are others also deserving of your anger. The US not only did terrible at responding to the ongoing pandemic, they convinced people they didn't but if so to just blame PRC for it. Sure, be mad that they covered it up, but also be mad that our government mishandled things terribly too.

I highly recommend doing research on the situation that isn't filtered through Western propaganda or a zionist lens and doing some introspection on why you believe the people being caged, controlled, and experiencing ethnic cleansing for decades are nazis.

Yes. Why do you think this terrorist group is there and constantly attacks?

Because Israel is the occupying force with a full military and international backing currently bombing a captive population compromised mostly of children. Why is that hard to understand?

If Israel hadn't blockaded Gaza for a decade and a half, or occupied Palestine for 75 years, or or or. We can play this game for eternity, or look at the reality that people, actual people not abstract arguments, are dying. And that needs to stop.

No, this is created obfuscation in an attempt to justify what's happening. Ask yourself, if Isreal wasn't continuing this onslaught, would these people be dying? That's the clarity.

we have no way of knowing the full true picture of why these civilians are dying

Let me clear this one up for you, they're dying because Israel is killing them.

 

TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - In a groundbreaking development, Arizonans can now apply for worker's compensation if they contract COVID-19 while on the job. This landmark decision stems from a widow's determined fight to secure worker's compensation following her husband's tragic demise due to COVID-19.

Gabrielle Parish has all of the details after an Arizona woman won a lawsuit to receive workers comp benefits after her husband died after getting Covid-19 at work.

Court documents unequivocally state that if someone contracts COVID-19 at their workplace, they are entitled to file for worker's compensation. An essential detail to note is that if a worker succumbs to the virus, their next of kin will receive financial support.

We had the opportunity to speak with Attorney Dennis Kurth, who played a crucial role in this case. He shed light on how it all began: "She filed a work comp complaint with the Industrial Commission of Arizona to secure widow's benefits, and that claim was denied," Kurth explained.

This denial prompted the widow to take legal action against the company, marking the inception of this historic case. Kurth noted, "This is apparently the first case where an insurance company lost and then decided to take it to the court of appeals. They are arguing that COVID-19 should never be covered by workers' comp as a matter of law."

However, there is a catch. If an employee chooses to accept the compensation, they relinquish their right to sue the company, even if they can prove they contracted the virus on the job. Additionally, there's a time frame to keep in mind: workers must file their claims within a year after contracting COVID-19.

Kurth added, "Now that the court of appeals has published an opinion stating that COVID-19 is compensable if you meet the statutory and case law requirements, people may start looking back and thinking, 'Oh, I should have filed a claim.'"

It's essential to emphasize that the person filing for worker's compensation must have contracted the disease at work for this ruling to apply. Otherwise, these provisions do not come into play.
