And on a lighter note, quitting over getting the vaccine will no doubt magically weed out more than a few authoritarian shit kickers I am betting. You know, Proud Boys who actually graduated to gainfully employed in a position they don't have enough emotional intelligence for.

EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE

In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples:

In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:

A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're

The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...."

The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.

Words with single letters that change meaning when that letter is doubled must never be used in correct English context. The classic example is “lose” vs. “loose.” In Republicanese, if you do not win an election, then you “loose” that election. Conversely, if your (Republicanese: you’re) belt is too tight, you need it more “lose” in order to be comfortable. Another example would be the Republicanese, “I met Donald Trump, and he was rudder than I imagined,” vs. “I grabbed the ruder and was able to steer the boat to shore.”

In Republicanese, as opposed to English, an apostrophe is used to form a plural. But it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." The other way around is also correct. In Republicanese, either form is correct as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row.

Especially those responsibilities which could be dealt with by a routine vasectomy. Their guns aren't the only source of unfortunate bullet displacement.

Good...let them quit! Since they've obviously got to be MAGAts, maybe with them quitting, we'll have less police brutality against blacks in that area!!

By quitting, they reduce costs.
And, every CBA should be negotiated so that public health measures can be added as a condition of employment.
It's ridiculous for a routinely public facing employee to refuse to take proper public health measures.
