Except not everyone "severed ties with us" or "called us names", a lot of them still stand by us and believe mandates and the pressure placed on us is bullshit, but have a family to support.

In blue states, Michigan for example, pressure got really heavy in a lot of areas so if you got fired for not getting jabbed your prospects were basically nothing, and most households can't sustain going from, say, 60K a year to 30K a year.
