But I'd settle for that, as long as it's at least the 50th or higher floor. I'd want to be sure. . .

They choose to get vaccinated and are eligible for their work, or they choose to be assholes and stay a risk to the public safety, health and welfare and are removed from their public-facing positions - FULL. FUCKING. STOP.

I am sick of this "debate". Those who refuse to wear masks, maintain social distance, use hand sanitizers and get vaccinated are continuing to allow a deadly virus to spread and more importantly MUTATE. The "variants" we hear of are nothing more or less than real time evolution laid bare for all to see. Fucking around and countenancing these assholes who refuse to accept basic scientific facts like this is INSANE!!!!

This is as if we could go back in time and tell people in the Middle Ages that fleas on rats on ships were causing the plague and some of the people started screaming about it being their "right" to keep those same rats as house pets. Enough is enough. Society needs to speak up and in a single voice tell ALL of these miscreants that they have to make a choice - choose to get with the program that will end this pandemic or get physically removed from society, period.

your team shooting itself in the foot. Again.

The great republican die-off: refusal to get vaccines.

Defunding: unpaid leave due to refusal to protect the public.

Making oneself irrelevant: the republican way!

It does not reduce funds, but it gets some of the worst offenders out of departments.

Real American patriots would get those fucking shots to help end this pandemic. People rooting around for some reason to not get them…well, they want this pandemic to never end for some reason.

He's saying they don't deserve protection from COVIDIOTS who happen to be fellow cops?

Maybe some cleansing out of diseased tissue as an unexpected side benefit, but no defunding involved.

I find it disturbing that so many Republicans think their audience is really as stupid as they seem to hope they are.
