Are you getting the vaccine? - Absolute trashfire thread, please enter with caution

Hollywood Hulk Hogan said:
Insurance companies pay them to give the vaccine because the insurance companies have done the math and determined that saves them on paying for medical cost. A $10 vaccine can prevent a $1,000,000 hospital stay.


You sure did. You get your conspiracy theories from Tucker, Alex and boomer memes you see on /b/ and claim that makes you know more about medicine than people who study it for a living.

You're the one who felt the need to defend your obese conman waifu

Yeah Imma pull a redditor move here and demand a citation lmao because I know I haven't. You must be confusing me for someone else in your advanced age, or maybe you're flustered by once more thinking about shirtless Alex Jones. It seems to have really got to you that I think he could beat you in a fight. The dude is kinda hard up for money now, I bet if we tried we could crowd fund an exhibition match here on the Farms, Jersh could stream it as a MATI special, Hulk Hogan avatar vs Gay Frogs Man.

so when the entire office gets covid, it'll be entirely your fault, and then you won't have to threaten quitting, you'll just be fired.

oh and also everyone clapped. and the boss? albert einstein.

Everyone on my team did get covid eventually even though they were vaxxed. So whatever.

Not that hard to get them to drop policy when they look at cost benefit of losing an experienced employee who will travel vs enforcing a dumb policy for the 3 hold outs.

Seriously, workers rights. Try standing up for once, you'd be surprised how fast a business will fold when it means losing money/resources.

Workers rights activists who had shoot out with the government men are shaking their heads at how weak the modern American worker has become.

I'd imagine your employer would be more impressed by you just quietly getting the easiest non-mRNA one-shot vaccine there is (i.e. the J&J) and be done with it, rather than making a scene over getting tested. That way you could have avoided anymore testing and your employer wouldn't think any different of you. It wasn't like you got a raise or a promotion from that.

You can think what you want homie but I've definitely have gotten promotion since then. Along with recipient of the biggest holiday bonus on my team.

Prove your worth and you can burn goodwill capital to get what you want. Else you can find someone else who will want you.

Modern American workers need to develop a backbone already. Stop letting them push you around. The coal miners at Blair mountain sure as fuck didn't bend over when the owners brought in the national guard and dropped bombs on them. Least you can do is tell your employer "no thanks".

All the yes massa, no massa shit just gets you employers who will just keep pushing further and further. Stand up for your rights already.

Technically they did abandon the hill after the US Army got called in though and it left a deep distrust of gubbament in every mountaineers heart that persists to this day because they targeted the miners instead of the coal bosses who at that point were ordering hits on local LEO and paying off Baldwin Felts to wage war on the miners. They didn't necessarily pussy out at that, they walked off because a lot of them had family or service records themselves and their fight was with the mining companies and private goons they hired to kill miners, not with army vets fresh from WW1. But it was a major mindfuck for them to find out that when their bosses were paying private mercenary squads to roll through their camps executing people in tents, the Army got called on the miners instead of the people doing the massacres.

Your point is still right though, workers who actually produce results tend to have more bargaining power and that's increased even more when you specialize in something a lot of people either can't do or don't spend time on.

My ex from college lied to me. Who knows it would make me look foolish on the internet years later. 😤

Thanks for the info mate even if it undercut me lulz. It still had a carry forward effect for labor rights at least.

Get out of here with that shit. Outside of the Covid issue you'd be calling them lazy Communists and told them to get back to work.

No worries dude it's not something that most people who don't grow up in WV even know much about lol to this day I've only ever seen one decent PBS documentary on the whole affair and even that's a bitch to find and had a romanticized retelling. The real affair was a total clusterfuck and the spirit of resentment it started carried on well into the 70s and 80s when miners would shoot the tires out of scab trucks and chase anyone who dared look longingly at the picket line.

For some reason people don't like discussing the idea that when push comes to shove regarding workers rights, the fed will always side with the one that brings in the money.

Maybe the straw man in your head would call them lazy communist. I've always been 100% unionization and labor rights.

Lousy phone posting can't post the image

It's tragic how much leftists shit on WV when they have some of the progressive ideals they are always going on about.

Free college for instate residents
Strong labor union history
Beautiful environment

But since it's not "muh cosmopolitan city" they just think it's a bunch of inbred hicks who couldn't find a hole in the ground.

Kinda like the straw man in yours makes me want to jab everyone instead of "Talk to a doctor you trust, follow their advice"? That kind of strawman?

My county actually petitioned last year to be part of WV instead of VA. Donnie Trump was even campaigning for it while he stumped around here. WV told us to hit the bricks.

Dude, you ever think you might take the farms too literally?

Good. WV got sick of VA exploiting them before the split. Can't blame Best Virginia for not wanting to deal with East Virginia's shit.
