Having done this blog as long as I have, I thought I had seen it all. But today, I learned that www.aalsipanda.com and its sister site www.immigrationscan.com and www.immigrationrural.com (and probably others) has been copying my blog for weeks. (I’m not going to link to them to give them a Google index hit)
And when
With the end of the year finally here, I know I could do yet another post on the OSHA vax-or-test standard given that the Supreme Court on Wednesday announced expedited oral arguments on the legality of that rule and the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. That’s now scheduled for January 7, 2022.
