Government is always the employer of last resort. While I believe contact tracing would have been preferable over lockdown in the beginning of the contagion, I can know see such activities as a blue state weapon.

I remember the early days of TSA, when there was a lot of Dem agitation to make the TSA employees permanent government employees with benefits. Grab crotch, get pension.

I wonder if “contact tracing” will eventually become a broader, career protected occupation extending past COVID?

1) Do you have a warrant?

2) Am I being detained?

3) May I speak with my lawyer?

After billions of dollars paid, did any TSA employee ever catch any terrorist anywhere?

the government is setting up a corps of spies and professional rats who spy on us and report anything that might be offensive to their superiors. didn’t hitler have an organization like this?
need to identify them personally, and publicly shame them as nasty little stool pigeons.

Requirements are usually being a minority. Looks like another jobs giveaway. Whites need not apply.

Contact tracers cold-call people who may have been exposed to the coronavirus, the Times reported. They work full time or part time.

Well since NOBODY picks-up a call from a number they don't recognize anymore, how exactly is THAT supposed to work?

I dunno. But here in Pittsburgh they pat themselves on the back and do a victory dance every time that 1 in 100,000 carry permit holders forgets to leave the gun at home.

Ya THINK?!? I’ll be broader, and it’ll be nefarious.

2020 brownshirts of Adolph, red brigades of Mao. Combined with prison releases and foreign invaders thrown in....well,...

...Obama delivered a speech in Boulder, Colorado in which he promised the creation and establishment of a “Civilian National Security Force.” He further promised it would be “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the US Military.”

It is well known amongst dictators, the world over, that a private army is necessary to control the great unwashed masses over which they force their rule.

Fast & furious. “Non-essentials” watch out. Know your enemies.

Well, these Dems aren’t true global pathfinders. I’d look to STASI and CCP for examples if I wanted to know how its been done historically, and I’ll bet they have.

Imagine when ID thieves start calling, pretending to be C19 tracers.

Well, these could turn out to be worse than just more do-nothing jobs.

Thousands more government employees whose job it is to “trace” people? The government would never think of anything nefarious to do with that when the virus is over, would they?
