CV and mad panic behaviour

Apparently Bill Gates has let it slip that the 5G chips are actually in the Ivermectin ...

Very Violent protests in Melbourne with building workers getting the rubber bullet treatment, be interested in what Kruud and Shawny think of proceedings. Police have been over the top and Andrews should have responded to the workers questions a bit earlier instead of making them wait and get frustrated which has led to violence.

... and his grip on power seems to slip again.

Same industry, different ends of the spectrum in terms of attitudes towards this whole debate.

I've got no doubt that the construction industry is frustrated.
There are 2 things at play here IMO.
1. The CFMEU has given the majority of workers (its members) a sense of entitlement. They generally think they can do what they want. People power. Strike. Me me me. This has transitioned to an area well outside their jurisdiction, but the attitude remains.
I made mention of CFMEU boss John Setka having rather regular ads on radio and his latest one is actually trying to get his workers to get the jab....he knows he has a problem.

2. The majority of people in the construction industry are because they are good with their hands, not their brains. A large amount never finish high school. Nothing wrong with that, people learn differently and have different interests. However, their understanding of Science is usually very much limited. Their understanding of the scientific method, almost non-existant. As a result, a lot of their information comes from 'dodgy' sources....because they simply don't know better.

Combine the 2 and we have a big issue as we are seeing.

Before Covid was even a thing, the highest suicide rates were to....
1. Males
2. Occupations in the construction industry
3. Aged between 19 and 39.
That is the perfect storm for the construction industry. People are losing mates, and they've had enough. They respond with what they think is best......which in reality, doesn't help the situation at all.

I've got uncles who are cops.
I've got family and friends who are tradies.

I see both sides of it.

Cops did what they needed to do.
Tradies are turning on eachother now, including Setka, because he 'has been turned by the government' in their eyes.

Its a giant schmozzle that is essentially created due to '1 and 2' above.

Bad timing for you, hopefully you new employer is not affected too much.
We have tradies in the family who rely on new builds and are going to be affected, got big mortages too.
They have been doing some private jobs but this is going to put them under pressure financially....they have all been jabbed as far as I know and are not happy.

But all lockdown are based on health advice, never tit for tat.

I know the first day is basically a meet and greet, then an online induction of sorts, not sure what is planned from there, but i will be able to ride it out without too much drama.

Health advice is based on 'super spreader' events, which is caused by construction industry strikes/protests.

Surely you are smart enough to put 2 and 2 together.
