And Now… Passengers Suspected of Having Marburg Virus Force Closure of Major German Train Station

October 2nd, 2024

Via: Daily Mail:

Two passengers suspected of having the deadly Marburg virus have forced the closure of a major German station amid fears the highly infectious Ebola-like disease has reached Europe.

Police cordoned off tracks seven and eight for several hours at Hamburg Station and travellers were cleared from platforms after emergency services in full protective suits boarded the ICE from Frankfurt.

Local reports have stated that two passengers on board have apparently been infected with the deadly ‘eye-bleeding’ virus.

One of the passengers is a man said to be a German medical student, 26, who boarded the ICE train to Hamburg with his girlfriend on Wednesday afternoon in Frankfurt.

During the train ride, both developed flu-like symptoms.

According to Bild, the student had previously arrived by plane directly from Rwanda where he had contact with a patient who doctors later diagnosed as being infected with the Marburg virus.

Newsom Outlaws Voter ID Rules In California

October 1st, 2024

Via: ZeroHedge:

California governor Gavin Newsom has just signed a new law banning local governments from requiring residents to present identification to vote in elections.

The legislation – introduced by Sen. Dave Min (D-Orange County) – is a direct response to a ballot measure approved this year by voters in Huntington Beach which required people to show photo identification at the polls.

The Republican-led city, whose leaders often tussle with Sacramento Democrats, has maintained that its status as a charter city gives it home rule over elections administration.

But Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber aren’t buying it: The officials sued Huntington Beach in April to invalidate the law, arguing it interferes with state voting rights protections.

California is one of 14 states that does not require voter ID at the polls – so, if a person wants to operate a car, hop on a plane, or rent an apartment in California – you need ID. Voting? Not so much.

EAST AND GULF COAST ILA LONGSHOREMEN STRIKE STRANDING BILLIONS IN TRADE

September 30th, 2024

Hurricane Helene + Strike at Ports + Upcoming October Surprise = [???]

Via: CNBC:

Billions in trade came to a screeching halt at U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast ports after members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) began walking off the job after 12:01 a.m. ET on October 1. The ILA is North America’s largest longshoremen’s union, with roughly 50,000 of its 85,000 members making good on the threat to strike at 14 major ports subject to a just-expired master contract with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), and picketing workers beginning to appear at ports. The union and port ownership group failed to reach agreement by midnight on a new contract in a protracted battle over wage increases and use of automation.

Logistics experts have told CNBC in recent months there has been an exodus of cargo from the East to West Coast, and companies moved up orders for peak shipping season due to the strike risk. Both economists and logistics executives say the impact of the strike depends on how long the work stoppage lasts.

“A disruption of a week or two will create some backlogs but the broader consequences will be minimal outside of a handful of very port-reliant areas, including Savannah,” said Adam Kamins, economist at Moody’s Analytics. “But anything longer will lead to shortages and upward price pressures,” he said.

The most significant issues would be faced by food and automobile industries, Kamins said, as they rely especially heavily on the ports that will be shut down.


“Modern Economy Rests On Single Road” In North Carolina Where Hurricane Collapsed Bridges

September 30th, 2024

Via: ZeroHedge:

In March, a Wharton professor who studies artificial intelligence and start-ups claimed on X, “The modern economy rests on a single road in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. The road runs to the two mines that are the sole supplier of the quartz required to make the crucibles needed to refine silicon wafers.”

Ethan Mollick noted at the time, “There are no alternative sources known” if supply disruptions were seen in Spruce Pines.
