My wife and I are not employed, so we are not directly affected by the injection mandates for employees. We've become aware of many people in our small town that were AGAINST the jabs and were steadfastly rejecting any such demands. Now, push is coming to shove, and it is disheartening to see people that seemed so full of integrity caving in with pathetic little whimpers of excuses.
I feel unable to criticize them because of my position but they fail to see that my wife and I made huge sacrifices years ago so that we'd be better able to resist something like this. We live offgrid in a glorified tent. We gave up our vehicles and licenses. We poop in buckets. We haul all our water in buckets (different buckets). We go without a lot of luxuries and conveniences so that we can be closer to freedom. I feel like we are looked at with scorn because of our seemingly "comfortable" position right now, but we were pitied not long ago because of what they perceived as our "poverty".
It is painful to watch as people trade away their dignity in exchange for the things they consider necessities. What could be more necessary than your dignity?!
You're rocking it and leading by example. I'm sure you're enjoying having been so thoughtful about lifestyle changes you've made.
As im sure you know, they've got the 'average Joe' intentionally placed in a position where they are vulnerable to the feeling that the rug may get pulled out from under them and they will lose control of their lives. I can understand that feeling, but am learning to have faith, trust my gut, and take one day at a time. I'm reaching out to my husband for support and it's being met with understanding and agreement and I'm SO grateful. Maybe, perhaps too, people don't have a relationship with their spouse they can count on and are feeling a lot disconnect there.....
May they find the strength and resolve to live honestly with themselves in their lives🙏
