I had a fun conversation with my boss today about this:
Every WuFlu-related conversation I have with him makes me feel like we live on different planets.
He tried pulling that one after the bit I quoted: "well [other coworker] is really looking forward to getting his".
Bitch I've seen this episode, and there's no genius kid and immune robot to save us.
I’m in peak SJW area during peak SJW times in the Bay, and at the risk of being hyperbolic, I have to act like I’m secretly Jewish in Nazi Germany. If I were to display wrong think I’d be stabbed with a rainbow dildo and financially ruined, even by well meaning people that just rely on the ‘news’ and don’t know any better.
I’m not even against vaccines. Last time I was in the ER I requested one for something just cause. These are all new beta testy different vaccines though that are very unlike what we have data on, and it’s for something we don’t mathematically need to have everyone vaccinated for. Covid’s like a skewed flu. We know exactly who it affects more, like fat and old people, it gets shrugged off by most everyone else, and the few people I’ve known that have even had it said it felt like a flu that went away quick. I don’t get flu shots, either.
I’m going to be required at some point to be vaccinated so I’m mostly wondering whether to bite the bullet or make a fake vaccination card. I’d be found out quickly though so the fake card probably isn’t an option. We’ve hit the point where we’re forcibly injecting ourselves. Super fucking creepy and dystopian.
That sucks. To continue your analogy, there came a point where it was too late for Jews to easily escape Nazi Germany, and there were probably a lot of people as they were being loaded onto the cattle cars wishing they had when they still had the chance...
I think our only saving grace is that most places in CA aren’t actually blue, it’s just big isolated areas like the Bay and LA. A lot of the money propping this all up is leaving too.
It’s been weird seeing the Bay go from fun-loving hippie skater punk vibe to complete robot communist takeover by foreign nationals because the weather’s nice. I actually like immigrants if we’re getting their best folks, but a lot of the people here are just piling in because their racial bros get into a company and only hire them and it’s kind of weird. I do well but have been told in the past that I couldn’t work somewhere because they were striving to achieve a diverse work force, the subtext being that I’m a white guy so that’s not me. Super creepy.
Bay has become s wasteland, sadly.
Well, at least your boss is saying "I guess that's your choice" and not, take the vaccine or you get fired.
I mean, we're not there yet, but at least your boss has a semi-libertarian position on it.
He doesn't: the company's current position is "we won't require it", and he will enforce that with a smile. If that changes tomorrow he will enforce that with the same smile and wonder why I'm "making such a big deal over this" as he's telling me of the policy change. He's a company man through and through, which makes me sad because I remember a time when he wasn't.
In any case I expect to be fired this year for at least one of the following:
Your company isn't requiring you to wear a mask while in office now? Why do you think they will start requiring it in the future if they aren't already?
They are, but I live far enough away from the office that another policy prevents me from traveling to the office. Otherwise they would have fired me already.
Your first three points are somewhat psychotic, the rest makes perfect sense. It's very clear that you've been swept up by contrarian hysteria, which as a massive contrarian, I get. If masks didn't do something, they wouldn't have tried to stop you from getting masks when this whole thing started. But you do you, if you think losing your job (for a valid reason in case of the first 3 points) is worth feeling superior, that's up to you.
I refuse to pretend we're in the zombie apocalypse. And it's been clear for a year that this keeps going until we decide it stops.
Keep wearing your masks and see if they ever let you breathe fresh air again. I'll continue living like a normal human being.
there was a shortage because the chinese spies were all buying them and sending them back to the homeland.
