Don't leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

did US vaccine mandates increase uptake?
VeryVer's avatar

My Fed agency union prez let slip that 22% of us aren't vaccinated. That's 3,000 people in our agency. If that number holds across the whole Fed workforce, that's about 450,000 people who will have to be fired. Yeah, a few people will give in, but Fed workers are a stubborn and lazy lot, and most of us know the power of stalling. they still haven't announced the punishment or timelines for not getting the jabs. And they still haven't told us how to apply for exemptions. What are they waiting for?

My company (a great big private Fortune 500 company) has also not made any announcements about vax mandates. They've offered all kinds of incentives to do it voluntarily, but have stressed with us managers not to pressure anyone into it. My guess is that they're waiting to see something in writing, and I'm wondering if it will ever actually come. This is another case of "they know it's likely unconstitutional, but they're going to get away with it for as long as they can..."

May I ask what industry? Without giving PII. I'm just curious where trends are.

Health insurance provider

That makes quite a few people I know on and offline in health industry (not direct care) whose employers are not enacting the mandates at nearly the same saturation as, say, woke tech and retail companies and public service.

The Pfizer leaks that Veritas has been putting out seem to suggest Pfizer folks aren't being rushed to vaxx to keep their jobs, either.

Can anyone confirm that?
