Employer decided they receive federal funds and have to have everyone vax'ed per Dear Leader's mandate. Now I will either get vax'ed, which with my immune system likely means death or a (shortened) lifetime of pain, or I will lose my job and house (which we finally were able to afford after 11 years of building credit.)
Trump allowed Biden to take office. He didn't want to use the insurrection act, but Biden will use it soon, to declare any unvaccinated people domestic terrorists.
If something is going to happen it has to happen now. Otherwise we need to do something ourselves, and I don't mean protest, be declared terroristic threats and get locked up in solitary without any rights.
We keep watching and getting optimistic about this, then pessimistic about that, then optimistic again. It's all a game - and we're not winning. Every day locks democrats in power for longer and longer.
Happy to hear people's thoughts, but I don't see life coming back. My faith is in God, who promises peace for His children, but in the NEXT world. Not this one.
Only if we are wage slaves; and if we are, ask yourself how that happened to a free People?
I'm curious what the alternatives are to "wage slaves"?
Obviously there is nothing wrong with being an employee. What is wrong is when a person is in a position where he needs the job and is held in fear believing he has no viable exit / alternative to earn a living and feed his family. The employer can then control, such as vax mandates. Comply or don't eat.
Having savings, and the faith in oneself that there is another way to earn a living, can break the chains.
There is an economic theory in contrast to socialism and big capitalism, called distributism, in which the "means of production" are not held by oligarchs or government, but by individuals and families.
Family farms, small businesses. There are coop water districts and electric companies and credit unions, for example: the members own them.
I don't disagree, but this is only an issue because all of corporate America is in lock step. Ordinarily, if an employed pulled this crap we would move to a more friendly company. That's how the free market works.
This is not free-market capitalism. This is corporatism, a bastardized form of monopoly. They can do these things because they are ALL doing these things. Once you have this level of collusion, there are no options left. Sure, I can be a farmer. I need to sell my house move to some plot of land and learn farming. Meanwhile I have to hope all of the banks continue to cooperate, the companies providing me with seeds, feed, equipment cooperate, and the healthcare companies selling me my life-saving drugs cooperate. Then, sure, I can become "un-enslaved." Easy Peasy.
Why Dec. 8? Why that date?
Oh shit, fren... I'm so sorry to hear that.
Have you talked to other employees; can you band together & force them to fire you, then sue?
I don’t think anything is going to change until the economy crashes. Trump said the economy is going to crash. We won’t be at the brink until then
Yes. No testing allowed after that. Have to be vaxxed
