I'm sure more will continue.

Everyone will still have a choice to get vaccinated or not. But those that don't will find themselves with fewer and fewer options for work, entertainment, etc.
They’ll only find themselves with fewer options for work if all companies comply, and if companies require the vaccine can fill enough jobs. After all, folks are very content not working as we’ve recently seen with only 40% of folks paying federal taxes last year.

Edited and didn’t answer my questions. I expected as much

How much did “Donnie” hand out in his first 7 months in office? How much did Donnie hand out in 4 years? What is Sleepy Joe on pace to hand out over 4 years?

Actually, they'll find fewer options if just one company complies. That's how math works. And the more that comply, the fewer the options will become.


They already can't work at United Airlines or the NYC DoE


That list will only grow over time.

Uh yeah, people walking away from good jobs to take a stand on not getting the shot. Right, I'll believe it when I see it.

That’s TBD. As we’ve seen, folks don’t want to go back to work. If folks don’t choose to get vaccinated and the company that insists it’s employees get vaccinated positions can’t be filled, business suffers, and those employees can simply sit on the couch or go to work for other companies that don’t require the vaccine. That’s how math works, and we’ve seen it over the last year+.

For now. United and NYC Doe may find themselves with a shortage of employees.

Again, TBD.

They’ve already walked away from good jobs due to “shutting it down”. Only 40% of folks paid federal taxes last year. Folks are getting paid to sit on the couch. No reason that doesn’t continue unless the free stuff gets shut off and they’re forced to go back to work if they need to pay their bills.

Regarding the math, I was referring specifically to your comment

Those "making a stand" re: the vaccine already now have fewer options than they did last week (NYC DoE, United Airlines).

Small sample size…and as we’ve seen, folks are choosing free stuff over finding work. They’ll have the option of sitting on the couch like so many before them.

Perhaps if the vaccine had been more important and endorsed from the beginning, so many folks and businesses wouldn’t be in such a position

But still....fewer options already.
