Fifth Circuit Court once again slams OSHA and the current banana republic attempt to circumvent the Constitution. Read it here: https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/db446ada300c17b1c8e3a6530561a46f/e7ff5065/BSTHoldingsvOSHAOrder.pdf And there are two facts you need to know: Congress created OSHA OSHA's authority regarding issuing an ETS is also extremely narrow, requiring a grave danger from exposure to hazardous substances, toxic agents, or new hazards, all of which require urgent intervention. ETSes are "'an 'unusual response' to 'exceptional circumstances'" (p. 8, citations omitted). The legal standard is that this "extraordinary power" must be "delicately exercised" and only in "limited situations" (ibid.). To meet the legal requirements, OSHA would have had to act with incredible speed to issue a narrowly crafted mandate drilling into the places with the highest risk. (Perhaps targeting the New York subways or American meatpacking plants in Spring 2020.) Instead, notes the court, the mandate came almost two years into the virus's depredations and almost two long months after the president declared there was an emergency requiring a mandate. Moreover: In another gem of a paragraph, the Court describes the mandate as "fatally flawed on its own terms." Thus: And of course, there's chief of staff Klain's retweet, which the Court suggests is an admission that using OSHA was a deliberate attempt to circumvent "Presidential Candidate Bidumb's" constitutional inability to issue such a mandate. The Court touches upon a few other things, including the fact that COVID's risks are very uneven, depending on a person's age, general health, and immunity, and OSHA's past statements about its lack of power to make mandates for infectious diseases. The Court also notes a couple of serious constitutional problems. While states have vast powers over public health, the Commerce Clause means that the federal government does not: "A person's choice to remain unvaccinated and forgo regular testing is noneconomic inactivity," and therefore within the states', not the federal government's, purview. Likewise, Separation of Powers principles mean that an agency operating under the Executive cannot exceed the narrow mandate Congress gave it. With regard to this last point, the Court gave a nod to the Supreme Court's decision earlier this year holding that the CDC may not make housing policy by issuing eviction moratoriums. It noted that Congress can only give away so much of its authority, for "health agencies do not make housing policy, and occupational safety administrations do not make health policy" (p. 20).

Green Peace is a terrorist organization, has been for decades. They have been funded via the diplomatic pouch since the cold war. Steve Guilabult or however he spells it this week is a terrifying character, but looking at some of those who ran against Trudeau, or with him for that matter...he's in with friends. He is likely one of many that got paid to attend the Andropov institute before Putin quit inviting westerners to this fine institution for terrorist training. Most of GP's top honchos went to that. You guys are as screwed as we are. In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to say the complete lapse of our southern border goes hand in hand with the immigration disasters and political corruption to the north as well. A pincer move by the global cabal to collapse North America.

Don't worry about Fauci. He's hiding from Peta in a Chinese bunker. Seems he could destroy the US economy and kill Americans with impunity, but using our taxpayer money to fund the cruel experiments on puppies didn't go ver so well. Peta doesn't play either. I've personally witnessed them attack Soviet warships with paint and fish guts. They are nuts. They may just accomplish what the free world cannot.

So...the "protected" are so terrified of the "unprotected" that they need big brother to force the unprotected to get the protection which offered them zero peace of mind, nor did it seem to reduce the numbers or the spread, so you now have to threaten to not let the unprotected work, be able to go here or there etc, until they get this protection, which will make them what? Fearful basket cases like the rest of the protected? If this makes sense to you, you're a moron. if it doesn't you're being lied to. Pick one. I don't care what you do with your body, but you ought to take a step back and question who benefits from this, what do you have to lose etc. Why do we trust this new wave of medical experts and scientists that can't even tell male from female, and people like Fauci who have not examined a patient in thirty years? If you want them playing doctor in your body, I'll gladly drive you to the vaccination site.

Big tech, social networking and the families that run the "media" have done more harm to mankind in recent years than Hitler and Stalin combined. I have never seen people so brainwashed and absolutely clueless prior to our friends in the tech sector "helping us get information".

Ned Kelly returns from the dead and his friends aren't putting up with it. LOL I saw the video from Melbourne of the people chasing the 3 police SUV's out of their neighborhood and those cars were jumping curbs and medians trying to get away. This was a large unarmed crowd, but they have had enough. Those cops chose sides alright, and they may regret that they sided with politicians and the media. Once the citizens no longer support them, they are screwed. The media and politicians are not real allies, EVER. They change allegiance with the wind.

We will get together, I visit Ft Bragg area a lot. My heart hurts for what we did to our own people

I'm old, I don't have this. The last few wars were mine. Don't get me wrong, I will die on my feet, not my knees. I just hope these kids wake up before it's too late. Look at Australia.

The old proverbs. Follow this money. Look at it. We had to buy the cure from China. The gloves. The test equipment. The masks. This that. How stupid are we? We paid them to unleash a bio on us and now we are paying huge mark up price for their help, and most of their tests and masks are defective! WE (not them) are fools and the whole world sees it.

It may be about a virus, it may be about your or my health, our bodies. Whatever. But I see it as political. We have had so many plagues come and go. When did they ever EVER push a shot like this? "You can't go there or do this or that without zee papers". Did that happen with smallpox? SARS? West Nile? Why now? So if it's "jus a shot" or "just go along with it, it's easier"....then what do you let in that door next? They get to do sex changes on your kids? They change voting laws? They give all of our data to the Chinese government? They decide who gets to travel or eat? I am from the Soviet Union. I saw this first hand. Start ceding a few rights and see what come next. I'm not afraid of a virus. I am afraid of misinformation and fascism. We are being lied to big time. If this were on the level, they wouldn't be using threats and misinformation on this scale

I'm not some super doctor or any of that. I just want real reasonable answers to some basic questions that people with brains should ponder: If this is the big epidemic they say it is, how is it that firing health care workers over vaccination status a viable strategy? If the vaccine works so well, why are the vaccinated so scared of everyone else and still wearing masks, which the CDC states don't even work? Why were they doing "mock drills" with an exact duplicate of this same scenario as early as 2015-2019? Such as Event 201? If the vaccine is so effective, why are the numbers so high? How much are hospitals making off this? If Fauci is such a "scientist" and "expert", why does he never attend medical or scientific events? He only attends events in which he will be recognized as a media personality. He literally has no scientific footprint. Where did the flu stats go? Why did the flu vanish in 2020? Weren't people dying of influenza every year in modern history, including this year?

This is weird stuff. We have known quite a few people who test positive with very minor symptoms , most have been vaccinated. They weren't that sick. It seems they get sick as hell and quite a few die IF they go into the hospital, which is what they are encouraged to do despite the symptoms being so minor. I would go to ER if I was getting a lot worse or my oxygen levels were dropping, not if I had minor symptoms. I had it from early Nov '19 until March of 2020. They just kept giving me flu meds and Z packs so it took a long time to get rid of it. It really wasn't the "pandemic" yet, there wasn't medication yet for the most part and it was really new. I'm not worried about it. People with smoked immune systems should be careful for sure, we have a lot of elderly and people with cancer issues, bad marrow etc here so I get that but from what I see, the most likely way for me to die is to go in the hospital or some 3 foot "refugee" woman in a massive dually pickup who learned to drive on a donkey last summer will drive through my house at 4am while texting and running from the law. This boogeyman here is running on fumes, I know they want it to last for the next few election cycles but.....

I am fairly sure I had this bug in late 2019. I had been traveling a lot. They weren't talking about this yet, but I got a bad flu I couldn't shake. I had it from Nov '19 until about March of 2020. I went to the doktor 3 or 4 times and they kept trying different medications and saying "it isn't strep". "Or it isn't such and such". It went away very very slowly. Would not like to have it again.

It won't be long before they put in an order for electric short haul units. Everyone is. It's a joke too. There is grant money, but even after the grant, you still pay as much as a new truck (bus etc) and you have to pay for charging stations. At least they won't have the EGR coolers, the DEF drama and all of the emissions stuff but I guarantee they won't age gracefully and you can't take them on long trips. I have a LOT of orders for electric buses and RV's due to the grants, but I can't wait to try to show 90 year old people how to drive them or avoid pedestrians. Fleets are really looking at this stuff. Baltimore ordered a couple hundred electric Freightliner school buses. AFTER grant money, they are still over $100k each plus the charging stations. Taxes are going to go WAY up, folks!

I would love to go to one of his "rallies" and just get close enough to be able to intercept the radio transmissions that they send to him telling him what to say and do.

Get better. It amazes me what good care taker the animals are. They know when you need them the most. I had this bug in 2020-2021 and took about 4 months to shake it. It's nasty. You're doing good keeping it out of your lungs.

EM7-300 Lifter Roller Failure? Cause?
Miami Cossack replied to Samvada's topic in Engine and Transmission
We've become so used to those roller tappets that we take them for granted. People seem to feel they will last forever, and they seem to, but it doesn't take much to make one fail when you think about it. That roller just has to stop rolling and that's it. Doesn't take much to cause enough friction to jam it up. There is a life expectancy for those bearing in there and a tiny little particle of crud or some heat and once the roller starts to rotate slower than the cam and it builds up the heat it won't take long -
Split Rims
Miami Cossack replied to h67st's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Those rims are still very common in Africa, Mexico etc. Nothing wrong with them per se, but like mentioned you have to know what you're doing. You used to see a lot of tyre guys missing every single tooth, or parts of their face. Career Day was rough for those chaps I guess. You can't have your head a mile away when you're working with those. Things have come a long way. -
B models going to scrap.
Miami Cossack replied to hicrop10's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Restore one of those would be a fortune, makes me sad. If you ever worked the sheet metal on those old Macks, it seems to be at least twice as thick as anything we see in 2021. It's so sad to see them like this, but some things in this world cannot live forever, and some things must be organ donors so others live on. Thank you for caring enough to step in and do what you can. I commend you. -
1990 R Model.
Miami Cossack replied to Miami Cossack's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
The batteries and battery box are here. That's just under $500. I spent a couple days when I could finder time fixing about 15 air leaks. The seat bottom is $107, that's on the way. I'll start on the A/C when I get some time, front tyres and paint it. This used to be yellow. The guy just wants new trucks. Image means a lot. These Are really well maintained trucks compared to some of the stuff I see. The A/C doesn't work and a lot of air leaks. If the batteries weren't dragging on the highway, it would probably still be doing septic suck-outs.
