Exterminate! Exterminate! NorCo Buying 10 Covid-Killing Robots

Dr. Who would be impressed. 

If County Council agrees, Northampton County will be purchasing 10  Covid-19 killing robots to be used when cleaning the building. Apparently, it shoots UV death-rays that kill Covid-19, MERSA and even the flu. The robot must be by itself when inside a room or it just might exterminate humans as well. 

Each machine costs $55,000 and there's a three-year $30,000 maintenance contract. Fiscal Affairs Director Steve Barron said the County will pay less because it's buying in bulk. 

Above you can see one of the robots in action. He told me he intends to run for Exec next year.

  3. I was a critic, too, until the robot visited me. The Exterminate robot will now be visiting you and your thinking will change, too ... will change, too ... will change, too ....

  4. Ten is a solid number for a bargaining unit. I plan to discuss this with the augmented reality simulation that is Steve Barron. We plan to organize immediately. The cyborg McClure and the collective hologram that is council will be incapable of opposing us. Who do you think keeps screwing with their virtual meetings? Who do you think turned Dean Browning into a black homosexual? You've been warned. It's our game now.

  5. Spend money on bullshit. Typical county ways. Let's cover up the real issues that the county has like spineless leaders that make their departments look like sissys instead of letting them do their jobs

  6. The County frowns about giving HS workers the measley 1.75 % pay increase that both parties agreed upon from an expired contract from 2014, but they will throw thousands away for robots.

  7. "HS workers"?

    That's your problem. Too many of you in CYF are not "workers" at all. And you got caught.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
