"The deals you miss don’t hurt you”-B.D. Raney Sr. |
I am a DoD employee. I am 10 years from retirement. I have myself and 3 kids on BC/BS Federal. I have a few chronic (read, expensive) conditions. One of my kids is type one diabetic. I can replace the paycheck. The benefits? Not so much. What do I do? I am most bothered by the mandating of the thing. I don’t really have an issue with the vaccines themselves. I just don’t like being told I have to do anything, gets my hackles up. The flip side, you can’t have a civil conversation about ANYTHING these days. I think Blume9mm is fully entitled to his opinion. But I don’t think he has any more right to make decisions about me than I do about him. My opinion, these vaccine mandates seems entirely too much like a power and money play. And that is as far up on my soapbox as I will get for now. | |||

I'm still finding it incredible that people actually think that the vermin in Washington can actually mandate anything... Bidet goes on tv, coughs a few times and demands vaccinations for all, and everyone seems to think that actually means something | |||

^^^ I don't think people do. I think corporate heads are trying to avoid logistical headaches - and that Potato and Company are counting on that. If mass mobilization was the Dems' strong suit these days Congress would've already voted on the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. Who knows? Maybe stolen elections really do have consequences. I'm waiting to hear about Delta and other airlines. I was looking forward to getting on a plane for the first fun trip I've taken in a while later this month, but I think I'll survive waiting a bit longer just fine. All of the traveling I need to do for work is best done by SUV. Anyone want to start a pool on whether or not the pilots and the rest decide that a sick-out around Thanksgiving would be highly effective? At this point I think people's anger would be (quite properly) directed at the airlines rather than the people refusing to knuckle under. | |||

Right there with ya Para. I keep on telling some people that there's not enough testing done on this vaccine. It was pushed and rushed out. What about long term effects? All I get is, "You're a Trumper". "So you think there's a chip in it?" Neither is applicable. For now, I have personal choice what I do including what I want from health care professionals. Pilot shortage because some won't be forced to get a shot. Same with nurses and doctors. Big manufacturing plants, same. Will it end? What will done to those that refuse the shot? Lots of questions and little answers. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

Yep. The times are what they are, and neither we nor the pilots made them that way. | |||

What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??? | |||

probably a good thing I don't have a cut |
And I'm flying to Texas for Thanksgiving. Yippee. | |||

Thank you, Alan. I will say I'm putting a VERY satisfying and VERY lucrative career on the line for the sake of my principles, beliefs, and freedom. I, and many others in our camp, are willing to fall on our sword for the future of this country and "the collective good". I hate to have even used that phrase, but I'll throw it right back in the Libtards' faces... ** p.s. I do not work at Southwest. *** p.p.s. Might I also add that a planned "sick out" is waaaaaaaaay against Federal law in the form of the Railway Labor Act. Any union group violating the RLA can be fine YUUUUUUGE amounts of money. Just ask some of the American Airlines pilots of years past... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I’m not afraid of the vaccine. I’m resisting coercion and compulsion. Imagine I’m a wet bar of soap in the shower. Hold me with respect and I’ll do my job. Try to confine me with pressure and I’m gone. Once gone don’t try to pick me up. It’s a trap. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I had the damn virus before the shots were available. I have natural immunity, therefore the shot is all risk, no benefit to me as it clearly isn't working anyway. It is one thing to require a proven, well-studied vaccine. It is something else completely to require you to be a test subject in an ongoing clinical study. You do know that Pfizer and Moderna both unblinded their control groups and offered all of the control group the vaccine right? That study was supposed to continue for a full two years. Now there are no matched controls. Furthermore, there is no way these companies will learn from their draconian BS other than pissed off customers and lost revenue. Nambie pambie... Please. These guys have stones for standing up to this draconian BS. | |||

Who cares? Ayn Rand had issues. I'm in the schoolhouse presently with someone who is doing an initial type rating. He's unvaccinated, but has stated that if he's mandated to get the shot, he will quit before he takes the shot. I got the pfizer earlier this year, and will get the booster when I have a chance. To each his own. One thing neither of us will do is interrupt line service to make a political statement, regardless of our beliefs. | |||
