This is amazingly fucked.
It's 100% antithetical to this nation. This cannot be allowed to stand.
Lol, it’s antithetical to the founding beliefs of our country and the values instilled by the Declaration of Independence. We’re a century too late from preventing this insanity. Sad truth is that when Wilson wasn’t tried for treason and publicly executed that our kindness turned to weakness.
Oh so we're just gonna force millions of people into unemployment in the middle of the economy already struggle busing.
Brilliant.
I'm sure that won't have any repercussions whatsoever.
LOL they won't get unemployment. The states are busy changing their unemployment criteria to exclude people fired for this.
If you mess with the boss's wife, at least you can get fucked before you get fucked.
This is Obama's war on America. He hates America and and wants it destroyed. Obama is winning.
If it was a smart decision the Biden administration could not possibly make it.
Immediately contact your Governor's naming your employers ESPECIALLY in Red states. Make sure that they know that their state economy WILL crumble the minute this is passed and name and shame the employers who just meekly go along with this.
Facts and logic are racist.
OSHA isn't recognizing natural immunity: "Based on the best available evidence described above, OSHA concludes that while some individuals who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 may have significant protection from subsequent infections, the level of protection afforded by infection may be significantly impacted by the severity of the infection and some previously infected individuals may have no future protection at all. In addition, given the limitations of the studies described above, there is considerable uncertainty as to whether any given individual is adequately protected against reinfection. Furthermore, the level of protection, if any, provided by a given person’s SARS-CoV-2 infection cannot be ascertained based on currently-available testing methods. Therefore, OSHA finds that the requirements of this ETS are necessary to protect unvaccinated individuals who had prior SARS-CoV-2 infections from the grave danger from exposure to SARS-CoV-2." (page 78) https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2021-23643/covid-19-vaccination-and-testing-emergency-temporary-standard
Of course natural immunity can't compete with the negative effectiveness of the vaccine. https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/ukhsa-efficacy-stats-death-watch
Bring it on, Assholes.
It's seriously amazing how, when enraged, the left decides that it's the perfect time to double down on their thuggishness. As if that will change anything for the better. The equivalent of pressing the 'throw temper tantrum' button anytime they run into difficulty, except this time it's with more power in their hands and they think that punishing the electorate is the proper response to the elections results from Tuesday.
Appealing to people's sensibilities and trying to convince them get immediately thrown out the window. They don't want to be bothered, they're angry, therefore people must Suffer. I couldn't think of a better way for the question of the legitimacy of federal over state power to be forced, instead of brought to the front naturally on its own.
Just, is this the Biden White House barking, blustering, and expecting people to just Do It, like they tend to do with everything they do, or are they actually going to attempt to fight this? They keep drawing lines on federal power and quietly shirking away from actual confrontations.
That's the communist strategy everywhere they take hold.
Skimmed the OSHA reg.
Employees that wish to feign compliance* should just "lose" their card and self-attest.
Companies that wish to feign compliance* might be able do so by having exactly one employee (preferably one off-site) have access to the vaccination database and treat vaccination status as confidential information not to be shared with anyone. Then everyone just does their thing, and if someone doesn't wear a mask people will just assume it's because they're vaccinated. Or simply make it very obvious (preferably verbally so there's no record) that self-attestation is an option, and that this attestation will never be questioned or verified in any way.
But I haven't read the reg in detail, so maybe there's holes in that strategy. But just skimming the reg it looks like it's got enough holes in it that it looks like a deliberate attempt by some bureaucrat saying "we've illuminated the exit door for all of you; just go to the exit for god's sake!"
* Yes non-compliance is best for all, but if someone's not prepared to fight this potentially years-long battle I think those people should also have options as to how to go through this without being injected.
True my Boomer parents are pissed that they "have to" wear masks now that they've been vaccinated, but when I tell them "you know you don't have to; no one's going to arrest you or even challenge you if you don't" their eyes glaze over as if I'm speaking some foreign language.
The Regime is way over-leveraged in its ability to enforce law and order, and locales and even states that start to push back will completely overwhelm its ability to enforce these policies.
Absolutely true. Boomers almost certainly identify non-compliance with the left. Later generations grew up with it as a tactic and fact of life when you don't agree with what the people in charge are doing.
I'm glad to have whatever allies I can get, but I think it's fair to say you're a bit of an outlier among your age group if for no other reason than you comment here: an online forum where the vast majority of people are at least 30-40 years younger than you.
You don't have to be a particular generation, but different generations tend to see things different from each other. I see things very different from my boomer parents who are about your age. They tend to assume good-faith on the part of institutions and people who work for them much more than I do, so they do tend to have a harder time recognizing when government or the news lies to them. And don't see any of this as tyranny because "we voted for these people"
Hell I talked to one boomer who said something like "I don't understand this whole 'choice' thing about vaccinations. When I was in school they just lined us all up and gave us all the polio vaccine, and there wasn't any 'choice' involved".
Boomers are literally the only thing preventing this nation from balkanizing along racial lines so yes, I'm looking forward to when a critical mass of people figure out we no longer live in a high-trust society. Old people literally think it's still 1964.
We don't "live in a society," society lives within us. This is why Japan and Somalia look completely different. One was struck by two nuclear bombs and the other is full of Africans.
And that's the big elephant in the room when the freaking President goes out there, makes a big dramatic statement, breaths fire and threatens ruinous consequences for non compliance.
And then the actual implementation sets the stage both for self-enforcement and for any punishments to effectively be targeted, selective enforcement to make examples of people - especially those they don't like - to try and get everyone else to comply.
It's ridiculous and weak. It signals immediately that those writing the rule know it's untenable.
It's 'clever' in the 'No one 'important' (read, the bureaucrats and the presidency) has to take actual responsibility because OSHA is the one waving the stick around while the entire private work-force supposedly plays enforcer. But in reality, the president's reputation, and that of the office, are on the line making a strong stance that can't be pulled off because he just had to 'look tough' on TV.
When is anyone in the Democrat party going to get it through their thick skulls that's it's really not good for the country if the office of the Presidency is so overtly weak and pitiful?
The OSHA mandate is identical to what my S&P 500 employer's policy was, except it was all self-attestation. And it was the same thing: company President comes into an all-hands meeting and makes a big dramatic statement about how the company is going to "take a hard-line stance" and all that shit, and then they come out with their weak-ass policy.
I think I even told some co-workers I confided in at the time "I'd respect the company more if they actually did implement a hard-line policy, but this just makes them look pathetic and weak"
Fuck the mummy Joe Biden and his globalist handlers.
This article delves into the angles that this tyrannical mandate can be challenged on and it talks about the exemptions to this evil.

Technically I work for a foreign government. Wonder if they're gonna get me. Tho I have overheard my supervisor talking to a coworker about how everyone is vaxxed and I've never said anything about my pureblood status so maybe I get to skate by that way.
Either way, never taking it
This is why you have guns.
This is totalitarianism, and you cant vote it away.
What's the fucking point when the vaccine doesn't work
It's like seeing pots and pans sticking out of packed parachutes while the skydiving instructors on the plane are pushing people out. It isn't about a properly packed parachute at this point that's for sure.
It's obviously insane and the cucks in SCOTUS will do nothing.
OSHA officially stated months ago they are not enforcing injury reporting requirements for "vaccines," because they want to "encourage vaccination."
Remote workers exempt. Keep this in mind when the emails go out.
What if somebody refuses to sign the consent form?
fire employee until you have 99.
btw is this shit legal?
Take it to court, might take years to resolve the legal issues.
Otherwise it's a compliance exercise where you convince some auditor who's never stepped foot in your facility before and is completely unfamiliar with your personnel and operation that you're complying with what their checklist says you need to comply with. So your job is to make sure they check the right boxes whether or not you're actually following the spirit of the regulations.
Same as any regulated industry. And having worked in others I can say that they're much better at convincing auditors that they're doing the "right" thing than they are at actually doing the "right" thing.
It's never stopped them before.
I guess this is how it ends, no more masks, no more mandates, the government figured out a way to save face while also pretending they solved it. In 3 months the media will praise the illegitimate Biden regime for ending covid and getting vaccination to 100% as everyone with a job will self-report as "vaccinated."
But the requirements will remain in place forever and all the upcoming generations will inject whatever the government tells them to, at which point the population consists of nothing but slaves.
