Whole Foods has fired a California employee who created a running count of COVID-19 cases in company’s US supermarkets because neither Amazon nor Whole Foods would make the information publicly available.
Katie Doan, who worked at the Tustin Whole Foods in Orange County for three years, says she was fired on Wednesday for “time theft” when she took a 45 minute break to recover from a panic attack. For many Whole Foods employees and other grocery store workers around the country, working at the company has been stressful and anxiety-inducing, in part because of the ever-present risk of catching COVID-19. Motherboard viewed a copy of the terms of her separation from the company.
Earlier this week, 11 local broadcasters were caught airing “news” segments that were actually advertisements praising Amazon’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis. Experts say the ads—which featured an Amazon PR rep pretending to be a reporter—not only violated the law, but are a shining example of how media consolidation is slowly destroying quality local journalism.
The ads were part of an Amazon press release lauding the company for its “innovation” during the COVID-19 crisis. And while some ethical reporters correctly balked at the idea of running marketing fluff as news, some stations ran the prepared segment as hard news without informing viewers they were watching an Amazon infomercial.
Just in case there was any doubt about Amazon being evil

Classic Dom; no-one can find planning permission or council tax records for the cottage on his dads farm

Oh, that cottage was only built to test if the ground was strong enough for planning permission.
The research seems solid, so let's see if there's some legal loophole that they exploited. Planning is pretty complicated at times. To me, it looks damning, but I'm not a planning lawyer.

Nah, there is a holiday park at the top of the cliffs which must have their car park open. It's wierd choice of beach to visit, its really scenic but rubbish access, no facilities and a pain to get to

Personally I prefer beaches without facilities that you have to hike into anyway.
So do I assuming I am not fighting to find space on the beach at the other end. Like I said it's scenic and I've had a beutiful nights bivvy there doing astrophotography but if I am packing the family up in the car for a daymaking sandcastles, it wouldn't be my first choice

We took the opportunity to go for a sea swim while checking up on a sick relative yesterday. If you can be arsed to drive to the suffolk coast you can have a beach entirely to yourself. Wasnt another person for at least 500m+ in either direction!
