Suddenly when it's their mid 6-figure job with potential 7-figure bonuses on the line...

The argument would boil down to whether we were in a declared war or if that was even necessary given how wars are conducted and we were at war at the time...

Pre COVID ICUs were designed to run at 90-95% capacity for profit maximizing returns.

That and they have reached middle and upper middle management now. They captured HR and have acted like a filter for many orgs.

It even started a few years ago at the trucking company my wife works at, but she managed to stomp it out as she was the employment lawyer and had ultimate power over their policies.

But the pro-vaccine GC had a come to Jesus moment Monday when the head of operations told the C-level that if this mandate goes through and applies to contractors as well the company loses 70% of its driver.

Officers are eating this shit up enlisted are either going in already woke or trying to get the hell out.

As someone that owns a few hundred acres and stands to inherit quite a bit more I keep on top of this.

Sadly this is my read on the situation.

Worthy read if you can find that article from 2012…

Or no next gen consoles due to the chip shortage and supply chain being fucked.

Pretty clear why they wanted to destroy small businesses now…

He can mandate Federal employees and I'm not sure what they can do with contractors per-sue. I can see restricting flying. But health insurance is regulated at the state level, not nationally.
