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?!
