Back to work Vax status

[ccc9092]

I work for a large excavating & grading company in TN, over 600 employees and not once has the vaccine been mentioned. They did email us about the new quarantine guidelines and that was it.

Are you a union shop? None of my buddies in unions have had anyone say a word about the vax from their companies regardless of size.

No, we are non union. Privately owned by the same family for 60 years. They encouraged those who wanted to be vaxxed to do it but at no point did they say by X date we want everyone vaxxed. I believe they wanted to let the court system play itself out and go from there. In actuality as well, as most trade workers know, OSHA would've had an incredibly difficult time enforcing the rule as they don't have the man power. We hardly ever see OSHA on a job site unless someone has called and complained or the terrible tragedy that someone has lost their life.

Because that's an empty power fantasy based on a poorly written novel by a woman who died penniless and relying on unemployment.

But hey maybe I'm wrong. You can start any time. Nobody's stopping you.

Oh, interesting! Not only a RS’er that defends the failing state of govt policies, but also a book critic who also attacks the messenger of said book.
Congratulations!

I don't know her views, but can anyone really ever be "over the top" on anti-socialist views?

I think you can. Its an extremely slippery slope though. And it also depends on your definition of "socialism".
There are things that benefit society as a whole that some consider "socialist".
Some claim that fire depts, the army, the navy, public roads, parks, etc are socialism. And they use those as examples as to why socialism works. I wouldn't consider those socialism though. Those are just social services that are necessary for a functional society.

Welfare is something I would consider a "socialist" idea. And I actually think we should have it. However, it should be extremely difficult to qualify for.
We should have some kind of safety net for extreme hardship cases. People with real disabilities, veterans services, orphans, are a few that come to mind.
Thats the best example I can come up with. But like I said, its mostly an exercise in what your definition of "socialism" is.
A socialist pollical system and economy though? That is a uber hard pass from me.
But a very very limited social safety net program is an idea i think most support. The real problem is that the fed lets it go off the rails...

What type of business?

Manufacturing / advanced materials

The ruling is unfortunate for those in the medical field (myself). Our right to choose has been taken away for the "good of the people" we care for. The inference is that since we care for the sick and injured we have somehow voluntarily sacrificed our own well being in order to do so. Currently we are being forced to boost or test weekly. Although I can see the testing going away now and forced to boost. I also see no end to continuing boosters as this virus continues to evolve. So wrong on so many levels.

Understand completely.

I think the boosters will end. Omicron is going to move faster than a booster will become effective.

She was stupid, she hated Socialism. It was weird she had those views after surviving Stalin.

I loved that book. I think every high school kid should have to read it along with the Gulag Archipelago and 1984. They they could truly appreciate Socialism in all it's glory.

A quick fact shock also reveals he’s a liar. Or, gasp, spreading misinformation!

 

[Actual_Cryptid]

Not true.
She was 77 at the time of her death and had a history of cancer. Was she supposed to still be working? No. That is retirement age.
She was collecting SS and was on Medicare (all of which she paid into.) but not unemployment or welfare.
And she wasn't penniless either.
NY Times: Ayn Rand Left 500k to 1 million estate

That is just a common smear to discredit her.
She may have been a little over the top on her anti-socialist views, but living in and experiencing Soviet Russia will do that to a person.

Social security and medicare are welfare programs, and are both things she publicly spoke out against. It's like putting a thin blue line flag on your truck and then talking about how you're worried about corrupt government overreach.

1984 was about totalitarianism, not socialism. You'd be shocked I presume to learn the author was himself a socialist who cut his teeth shooting Spanish fascists.

Atlas Shrugged is just painfully bad. Not "50+ page rambling speech mid book" bad but still pretty close. The Fountainhead broke me though.

But as with the toilet licking to promote a strong immune system, you're all welcome to move to the jungle or go on welfare and own the libs. By all means, act out those fantasies, let me know how it goes. But don't spend a lifetime complaining that you have to pay taxes and then pretend that social security and Medicare aren't welfare.

If you pay into SS, that is your money.
If I pay 100k into SS, and only collect 90k of it, how is that wellfare?
SS may be a form of wellfare for some, but it won't be for guys like me. I'll have paid in for 40+ years. I hate the SS program but I can't opt out it. So when the time comes, I'm dang sure getting my money back.
If I don't like paying federal taxes, should I not collect my tax refund either? It a weak argument when you are a forced participant in the program.

 

[FLATHEAD]

Yeah, HTH is SS welfare? I paid it in!!!!

Ferfuckssake. Go take a walk, work out, shoot your bow, reload some shells, drink a beer, just quit worrying about other people and what they do or don’t do! How and why do you have the time to spend on this shit.


You’d be way better off for it.

wow sad you never bothered to do actual research on the entire back grounds of these writers . Typical anti history, anti science low IQ communist cult worshipper. Welfare is obviously something you receive having never put into the system . Why are these anti hunting, anti gun communist trolls allowed on here now? This troll has contributed nothing of value to the hunting community on here
