I have not been allowed to have a job since the last temp job I had back in 2009. So, I will never be employed anyway. My big concern is that the people who are fired and rendered unemployed, the same ones that have mocked me for decades because of my medical problems and for being unemployed, will be tearing away the scraps from my grasp I have been grabbing that have allowed for my survival.

I am being slowly taken off life preserving medical care because I asked her why she was demanding I get the vaccine when she had told me multiple times prior to covid that I can never get vaccines anymore because of my chemo and immune system problems. I don't know how much longer I will be alive, but I have been selling my stuff and eliminating things so that my mom won't have as much to deal with after I am gone. I am already in extreme sharp pain from my immune system slowly coming back and attacking my body.

Do you think he will win? My former coach thought that will never get passed in court. I'm on the fence. The fact that they've already started requiring a test when I didn't think they would because we have less than 100 employees makes me think it could go further in a way. However testing sounds semi reasonable considering people at work have gotten COVID. On the other hand why is it only the unvaxxed required to get a test? The convention I went to changed that to require everyone to have a negative test..wonder why the workplace didn't. I mean maybe because they know the vaccinated will pitch a fit and quit if they have to get tested every week whereas a convention is something you go to once in a while.

Then you hear about the people who are remote but are still required to get the vaccine. I don't know if that is Biden's doing or the individual employers but I didn't hear about that until the OSHA mandate.

Can he do that too? If you really thought about it that can probably be justified in the people who think COVID affects only the unvaccinated too but I don't want to say anything in case that gives people ideas you know.

By the way, fewer and fewer people read the LA Times which is why they couldn't afford to stay in their downtown offices, and moved to godforsaken El Segundo. Last time I read the physical paper years ago it was mostly photos and little text. Fits their subscribers.

Now they are referred to by enlightened people as The El Segundo Times.

You're talking about people of color....

Data from the CDC shows that minority populations are vaccinated at lower rates than their White peers. Only 153.6 million fully vaccinated people reported their ethnicity. Out of that group: More White people (56.9%) were fully vaccinated compared to Black (9.9%), Asian (7%) and Hispanic or Latino (19.2%) residents.

When the left insults the unvax, they're completely oblivious to the fact that it's people of color who are largely unvaxx and it's hilarious.

Oh and I guess Africa is stupid too....

This is completely and utterly false.

Truth is the UK is going to be the first country to exit the Pandemic:-

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...onomy-25521616

In fact its VERY close already because whereas the world averaged a +25% increase in Covid cases last week the UK had a -33% DROP in cases!:-

https://www.worldometers.info/corona...weekly-trends/

Not only that since Britain vaccinated most of its population 90%+ of people dying today in the UK from Covid are unvaccinated!

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat...d31october2021

As for your ridiculous comment about 'basic foods' well that's just complete bollox! I know I last did my grocery shopping yesterday!!

Perhaps you should get your facts straight before posting rubbish.

This is a situation where political allegiances outweigh logic, reason and scientific evidence.

Look at the sorry antivaxxer website

Some conservatives allow their fear and hate to lead to incredibly harmful or life threatening decisions.

1)The antivaxxers who end up in icu, on ventilators, on home oxygen for months, with long Covid or even dead.

While trump and Fox News corp. are vaccinated


2) the January 6th felons facing month, years, even decades being butt r@ped in federal prison. Their lives are ruined. A felony conviction is no joke

While the true leaders face no repercussions.

Is this willful ignorance, stupidity something akin to religious fervor? Or are they simply morons winning Darwin awards?

If they are triple backed, they have tried their best to avoid it. Those who have the vaccine available to them for free and make the choice to not try and protect themselves are a different lot. I won’t mock them, but I certainly don’t have any sympathy for them. I consider if to be premeditated suicide.

Those who die from covid after being loudly vocal and try to persuade other people not to get the vaccine are the ones I reserve my scorn to excoriate. Fools deserve all the mockery that can be heaped on them.

I am on Medicaid. Not many specialists for my problem takes Medicaid. The other one already was letting me die before I got my current one. I was just bought a little more time is all. It has cost over half a million a year to keep me alive.
