Goodbye And Good Riddance

Goodbye, and good riddance By Leonard Pitts Jr. Syndicated columnist

"“If you want to leave, take good care, hope you make a lot of nice friends out there.”

— From the song “Wild World” by Cat Stevens

This is for those of you who’ve chosen to quit your jobs rather than submit to a vaccine mandate.

No telling how many of you there actually are, but lately, you’re all over the news. Just last week, a nearly-30-year veteran of the San Jose Police Department surrendered his badge rather than comply with the city’s requirement that all employees be inoculated against COVID-19. He joins an Army lieutenant colonel, some airline employees, a Major League Baseball executive, the choral director of the San Francisco Symphony, workers at the tax collector’s office in Orange County, Florida, and, incredibly, dozens of health care professionals.

Well, on behalf of the rest of us, the ones who miss concerts, restaurants and other people’s faces, the ones who are sick and tired of living in pandemic times, here’s a word of response to you quitters: Goodbye.

And here’s two more: Good riddance.

...

So if you’re angry, guess what? You’re not the only ones.

The difference is, your anger is dumb, and ours is not. Yours is about being coerced to do something you don’t want to do. Like that’s new. Like you’re not already required to get vaccinated to start school or travel to other countries. For that matter, you’re also required to mow your lawn, cover your hindparts and, yes, wear a seat belt. So you’re mad at government and your job for doing what they’ve always done.

But the rest of us, we’re mad at you. Because this thing could have been over by now, and you’re the reason it isn’t.

That’s why we were glad President Joe Biden stopped asking nicely, started requiring vaccinations everywhere he had power to do so. We were also glad when employers followed suit. And if that’s a problem for you, then, yes, goodbye, sayonara, auf Wiedersehen, adios and adieu. We’ll miss you, to be sure. But you’re asking us to choose between your petulance and our lives.

And that’s really no choice at all."

And we also bid goodbye forever to those who have made the wrong choice and paid for it with their lives.

May they vote no more.

Hello Nordberg,

The fact is mandates work. The rights and anti-vaxxers scream that they will not do it, but when the deadline comes, they roll up their sleeves. It has been shown that workers will get the shots.

It's far easier to grumble, complain and comply than to go find another comparable job.

And then of course, there are all those things that got bought on time and there are all these payments that have to be made every month.

It's almost like, when you buy things on time, you are committing to keep bringing in the paychecks that make the payments.

You're saying: "Yes, I'm gonna keep working my job, bringing in that paycheck for the duration until this is paid off."

Hmm..I'll be hearing an owl here in about an hour.

Neighbor stopped by today to talk. She's so bright and bubbly! Oh My! She's a hoot!

Anyway, the old hoot owl is usually in her yard. Maybe because she's a hoot! :awesome:
 
Step 1. Fire folks who disagree with you.
Step 2. Put them in camps.

We'll call them "hospital bivouacs". (winky-winky!) We'll feed them dog food and make them drink our gray water.

Currently a vaccinated person has more chance of dying from a lightening strike than of Covid. Even with the unvaccinated around.... but you can't let this crisis end! If you do, there's no way to get folks separated and into the bivouacs if you do!
