Seems we have gone from the Information Age to the Big Brother Age.

Have they changed to the electronic log system for all their trucks?
😀 😛

They are slowly working on it.The feds say by 2012 all commercial trucks will have them on.

😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

I don't mind the electronic logs so much.It's just that dispatch likes to push us into working as much as we legally can 🙁

Keep track of restroom visits is just plain wrong 😡

😀 😛

That was the trouble where I worked. The company and the FDA pushing the average worker from both sides.

Yes I agree. It was a case of the FDA wanting to know and control more and more what went on at the company.

The prediction is that the world will end on December 21, 2112. So don't bother buying any Christmas presents that year.

LOL How could anyone that piles up rocks in pyramid shapes be wrong. 😉 😛

Like this place from Atlas Shrugged? 😀 😛

alt's Gulch is a high-tech retreat in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged—a place where all the "disappearing" productive people can meet, relax and recharge.

John Galt, the hero of "Atlas", is a brilliant engineer who has decided he will not support a corrupt system. He will not allow his mind, his talent, or his efforts to prop it up. He plans a strike like no other—a strike of all those who are the engine of civilisation, the creative producers in every field. His mission is to persuade each and every one to disappear, to simply remove their support, and thereby bring about a collapse of the existing society.

Galt's Gulch is their private hideaway spot—an anarchic, free community hidden in the mountains. It's protected by a high-tech invisibility screen, which is designed to prevent the place from being found.

It's a "retreat for the rational", a place to reenergise and spend time with like-minded people.

I presume that they would not much like the behavior of painting the camera lens black. 😀 😛

How long before every car is required to have device inside that records your speed and location at all times? 😱 Big Brother is on the way.

Yup. People are losing the right to privacy more and more as Goverment seeks more and more control. Getting very Orwell like out there. 😱

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I agree and I don't like the trend. 🙁

[General Zod]

I can't see those behavior cameras being put on cars,etc Just commercial vehicles It's OK to spy on us,because we are a business

Spying on car drivers would be big brother 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

Mils

[milagros317]

Indeed it would. Politicians would exempt themselves if they tried to pass such a law, too.

If you hire compentent people I think there is no need to spy on anyone. The whole problem with this attitude is the idea that NO ONE can be trusted. When in actuality the people you can trust the least are those who work for goverment. LOL
