Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

I’m not sure what teachers have to do with this discussion.

( And I’m unaware of working teachers not receiving paychecks right now. My in-laws are retire-rehire teachers making $50 an hour right now. Between that and the royalties from the textbooks they’ve written, they make more in retirement than I do working a 40-hour week.)

 

Did any of the vaccine refuseniks in these hypotheticals take a mandatory drug test to get the job?

If so, as a philosophical/political matter I'm not sure the 'personal freedom/invasion of medical privacy' argument works very well on their behalf.

Having already surrendered bodily autonomy in order to get the job, it doesn't seem unreasonable to require the same concession in order to keep the job.

 

If you allow them to collect unemployment, you are penalizing the business for doing the right thing.

 

The public employees who seem to get fucked the most on salaries.

No money for teachers, but help out these nutjobs?

 

Good luck finding people in Alabama with union representation. If as many as 15 percent of workers here are in a union I'd be amazed.

In recent weeks, leaders at the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) have joined Republican lawmakers who allege the Biden administration is allowing migrants to spread the coronavirus in the United States and placing the CBP workforce at greater risk, while also opposing his vaccination order.

I can’t even.

 

They get all the infections AND take all the jobs AND get all the welfare.

 

Interesting. In Michigan (where I grew up), the state association prohibits it unless your student count is tiny (8th graders) or microscopic (7th graders), and even then stats from those years don't count for all-time records and things like 1,000-point scorers. Also you can't play football or hockey.

 

It was really mostly a basketball fight apparently. Hard feelings when girls in 7th and 8th took playing time -- and scholarships, I suppose... -- from older ones, even if the younger players were better. But basically forever at a small school like this younger kids have competed on varsity in cross country, distance events in track and lower weights in wrestling. But that was never an issue. Only when it became hoops did people get up in arms about it.

And speaking of small town debacles that are related to COVID, last night my folks went to a volleyball match in another town. Town of a thousand. A woman my mom went to school with came up next to her and they chatted and eventually the lady asked Mom if she'd gotten the vaccine. "Yeah, of course. We're getting our boosters next week." The lady was horrified and said she never would. "Do you know what's in those?" Mom quipped, "Yeah, chips to track you."

"No, no. Metals and fetuses."

Mom quickly excused herself to the bathroom to try and escape the nut.

 

Was just at Disney for the week, Fla. They did a great job of requiring masks at all of the indoor spaces. Got tested before we went and may get tested in the next couple days.
Though, one thing they need to improve is keeping all of the hand sanitizer dispensers full.

 

“I can attest that, after this experience, I am even more dedicated to fighting against vaccine mandates,” he tweeted. “Instead of enriching the pockets of Big Pharma and corrupt bureaucrats and politicians, we should be advocating the monoclonal antibody infusion therapy.” (Monoclonal antibody treatments, of course, are largely manufactured by pharmaceutical giants like Regeneron and GlaxoSmithKline.)"

COVID-Infected Allen West Goes on Unhinged Anti-Vax Rant—From Hospital

 

He should've been sent home from the hospital, without treatment. I doubt he'd be talking about his "experience" like that then...
