"FLUE NEWS" A Workplace Flyer on the Spanish Flu from 1918

-

 In the November, 1918 edition of Factory: The Magazine of Management, we found this short blurb on a publication an unnamed employer used to keep its employees better informed about the Spanish Influenza pandemic. Below the short article, we have included a Spanish Flu-related advertisement for your amusement.

HELPING KEEP WORKERS HEALTHY

WHEN the Spanish influenza was just getting a start in the plant of one middle-western company, a special sheet called “Flue News," was distributed to all of the workers. This, written in a semi-humorous style so that it would be read, told the workers how to take care of themselves so as not to get sick, how to ward off the disease, and what to do if they took it. Of course it is impossible to state how much good this has done but the percentage of workers sick has been relatively low.

Joe Biden and The $6B Hostage Payment: It Ain't That Hard

-
 A former boss of mine (he knows who he is) gave me the great gift of a timeless phrase that I have used over the years far more times than most of my friends, family and co-workers wished: "It ain't that hard."  So allow me to vent a bit here and answer the question "Why won't Joe Biden freeze the $6 billion ransom payment to the Iranians?" Well, friends, IT AIN'T THAT HARD if you have paid any attention whatsoever to the nature of the person (Joseph Biden) we are talking about here. Here's the deal: An un-indicted criminal who is guilty of treason, bribery, money-laundering and God only knows (literally) what else—someone who has enriched himself and his family by selling influence, appointing foreign agents to government posts, abusing and using his own son, lying to the public virtually every time he opens his mouth, and by all accounts is a scantily-closeted sexual pervert—simply does not just make bad and baffling policy decisions regarding eve

Murdering Babies in Gaza…and in Ohio. A Special Plea to Ohio Mothers.

-

Hamas delights in beheading born babies or burning them alive in an oven. Ohioans delight in slicing up unborn babies or destroying them with chemicals while they are still in the sacred refuge of their mothers' wombs. The EVIL citizens of Ohio, most of who presumably decry the recent, brutal slaughter of infants in Israel, just voted to constitutionally protect the rights of Ohio women to allow the murder of their own babies in the womb. Note that I said EVIL citizens of Ohio, and not EVIL Democrats , because Ohio is politically controlled by Republicans, thus it stands to reason that there are enough Republicans in Ohio who could have prevented this great EVIL if they so desired. This is a bipartisan slaughter of the innocent. Ohioans, I don't care about which political party you belong to, I no longer want to hear ANY of you complain about the evils of transgenderism, unprosecuted crimes, pornography in the schools, or any other social evil. You—all of you—just codified Inf

About "Pride Month"

-
Not much good ever comes from being proud of your sin, or your sexual perversion. Instead of celebrating our sinful pride...whatever it might be that we are proud of...we should examine our pride to determine if it is justified or sinful. Proverbs 16:18 Pride  goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Leviticus 26:19 and I will break the  pride  of your power, and I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. In Context  |  Full Chapter  |  Other Translations 2 Chronicles 26:16 Uzziah's  Pride  and Punishment But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was unfaithful to the  Lord  his God and entered the temple of the  Lord  to burn incense on the altar of incense. 2 Chronicles 32:26 But Hezekiah humbled himself for the  pride  of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the  Lord  did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
