We're thriving down here in Mississippi...

My boyfriend and one of his co-workers are the only two vaccinated at their place of employment. I’ve excluded the higher-ups who are vaccinated as well but are at a different location.

They’ve heard a few will be leaving after they received the new guidelines from HR. Get tested…or get vaccinated. My freedumb! My freedumb!

Needless to say….my boyfriend and his co worker will be looking at a guaranteed promotion if the others put their money where their mouth is.

I have a feeling their boss will not forget who stepped up and who is intentionally jeopardizing the company from being overwhelmingly short handed.

Did I mention that one of these ignorant clowns left work the other day….to go to the doctor….because he was sick and wanted to get a SHOT to knock it out before his vacation?!

If this keeps up, maybe we will have the chance to flip to blue next election…

Ignorance kills in more ways than one... Glad you are not among them, but damn it is sad.

It is sad, and a shame our political leaders encourage this ignorant behavior. I hope it bites them in the ass. Oh wait, our Governor announced his plans for the 2022-23 fiscal budget…”election integrity” at the top of the list.
