Only in Indiana do we fight for the right to infect others and then insist businesses are forced to pay employees unemployment when they get let go. I can’t figure out if Republicans just want to reward their base voters for being crazy or if they’re trying to slow the economic recovery.
If you don’t like the vaccination requirements of your employer, quit. There’s lots of other places that are not mandating vaccinations. If businesses are unable to find workers, they will drop the vaccine requirements. That’s how the free market works.
“If businesses are unable to find workers, they will drop the vaccine requirements.”
In a normal political environment, you’d be 100% correct. But that’s kind of impossible if your business is over 100 people, based on the OSHA mandate (at least until SCOTUS abrogates it). And yes, businesses are pressuring the fed. Not exactly “free market” when the Oval Office found an arcane way to implement disaster relief measures at the federal level, when disaster relief has always been the domain of the states.
But, if a business has <100 employees, I guess you're right. Because, as the latest advancements in public health research confirm to us all, businesses under 100 employees offer no real threat to super-spreaders for this unprecedented health emergency. Yup. If this were truly about controlling and stymieing a massive epidemiological scourge, we wouldn't make an exception for businesses under 100 employees and it wouldn't have been an executive order that goes into effect at a determined future date–because that is antithetical to the notion of it being an "emergency".
A reminder, people don’t even have to get vaccinated with the OSHA rules. They can also test weekly.
In a normal political environment, you also wouldn’t have politicians making public health a political issue and spreading misinformation and disinformation to keep their base voters angry and engaged. Then, too late, realizing that, boy, our voters aren’t getting vaccinated and they’re dropping dead. How are we going to win elections if we kill our base voters, who are dying at a rate three times higher than the other side? So they are trying to encourage their base voters to get vaccinated, at the same time decrying federal efforts to get people vaccinated. As you might expect, it’s going poorly because getting vaccinated is now seen as “giving in to the libs” and good luck at walking that back with the base.
You wouldn’t have the governor of Texas fighting any federal intervention… then turning right around and asking for federal help when, surprise surprise, cases spike well and truly beyond what could be handled at the state level. It’s almost as though Gov. Abbott wants all the credit for fighting for freedom but none of the responsibilities that come with it.
Anyway, that’s Texas. They have lots of companies moving to employ people there if they can be near the liberal big cities. We don’t even have that here in Indiana, we just have people from rural Indiana moving to be nearer to Indiana’s big cities. Yet our Legislature is worried about vaccine mandates and tilting at that CRT windmill instead of making the state of Indiana a place that companies want to move to.
Exclude the word “Republicans” and your comments/thoughts are dead on, JB.
I credit politicians on both sides of the aisle capable of forging uninformed legislation.
They are, sure. But only one party can get their bills discussed in private caucus and passed without involvement from the other party.
And that’s bad for all of us.
Great breakdown Joe B.
