California Tesla factory reopens, defying local officials
Go get ’em! As he promised, Elon Musk has reopened his California Tesla factory, defying the demands of local officials who wanted it to remain closed until June.
Not only did he institute some stringent employee rules in connection with the Wuhan flu, he also as promised had Tesla initiate a lawsuit against those local officials.
Tesla filed a lawsuit against Alameda County on Saturday after the Fremont plant was shuttered amid the statewide lockdown on March 23. The suit claims that county officials ignored Gov Gavin Newsom’s allowances for ’16 crucial infrastructure industries,’ including transportation, to continue operating.
Personally I think the company’s stringent new health rules are ridiculous, but Musk has to play this “feel-good” game while fighting to survive against this government power-grab.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

He also has to protect himself from the near certain lawsuits that will arise when some employee eventually comes down with a case of Chicom-19.
If the employees are given a choice of going to work or staying at home, then I say open it up. Good for Elon Musk standing up for what he believes in. He is following the rules to the best he can and that is a good thing.
I heard on the radio, an hour ago, that the county will let Tesla open for limited manufacturing until it presents an employee protection plan. It sounds to me that the county is caving in a face saving way.
A repeat from me in another thread, but I’ll toss this in here for anyone interested–

Unfortunately, Joe asks very few questions on ‘current events.’ (I like Joe, but he’ not very effective at getting Musk to open up beyond a very basic level.)
I have worked through this whole thing. Never missed a day.
Our company has adopted all of the possible restrictions.
All contact surfaces as cleaned and sterilized every day if not every shift.
Everyone wares a mask and gloves.( we make our own surgical masks and donate the extras)
Only one way in and must pass a temp check.
6 foot distancing everyplace in the facility.
If you come in contact with anyone with the virus you get 2 weeks off. One fully paid by the company the next on you.
As many people as possible working from home.
And when possible all meetings are done by internet. No more flying to meetings.
All restrooms converted to touchless fixtures.
We have been doing this since our Chinese plants closed down. They are all back up and running now.
( we also just announced we sold all the China plants off).
The only thing that will really change for me if we lift the restrictions is I will not have to social distance so much and I will no longer have to ware a mask.
