Not lose, voluntarily give up.

Eh not nearly enough are revolting... if my job paid $15/hour and required a diaper all day there's no way I'd keep it, but everyone seemingly is, even when they grumble about how much they hate masks. The need to have money to support oneself trumps philosophy and those in charge know it. Though, not many require masks around here at all... maybe it's mostly democrats taking these jobs that do such as flight attendants.

Belling believes the left has only embraced vaccines because Biden got elected, that if Trump got elected and was pushing them they'd be all against getting them, and possibly more on the right would be pushing them, because we have a sheepish society of polarized people that do what their cult tells them to do.

Speaking of, interesting to see the party of Reagan wringing their hands over these job losses. I don’t recall many of his supporters having any sympathy for those air traffic controllers.

People may want to be careful of what they wish for.
Precedent and all that.

Just... Wow.


Reacting to a crisis ineffectively is very different then creating that crisis in the first place.

"voluntary" implies a choice. There is no real choice here. Do as we say or starve.


Show us your papers then get on the train.

Once these vax mandates start to take effect near the end of November we'll start seeing the repercussions. I think people are realizing now how many are unvaxxed. The supply chain, airlines, etc. Will be utterly upended as these mandates take affect. Just this morning my wife was listening to a veteran airline worker who revealed some telling info about how few are vaccinated for her airline and how much chaos is about to ensue in the coming weeks. I just hope employers stand up to this mandate and eventually reverse their actions. Being fined is one thing, losing 50 percent of your workforce is just as bad in my opinion.

Regan fired the air-traffic controllers striking in violation of his order for them to return to work. With goofy Biden people that want to work are getting fired over his unconstitutional and authoritarian mandate.

You are digging pretty deep to compare one to the other. They are polar opposites of each other. Also, with Biden tens of thousands of people could lose their jobs. And he couldn't care less.

It's an insult to compare Reagan to an imbecile like Biden who's destroying the country with his incompetence and ignorance.
And, here come the “but those people deserved to lose their jobs” defenses.
Like clockwork.

Those who fail to see the line that leads from then to now is, well, blind.

Some people have one track minds. I was watching an interview with a Pilot who was fired for being unvaccinated. He flew cargo planes, not passengers. Was he going to give the virus to smart phones?

Why are we now having supply problems? This is going to happen when you start firing supply chain workers for vaccination status.
