    I hung out with some of the nurses yesterday, one of whom is a "traveler" who had just gotten back from the other side of the country where I heard about this sort of thing happening. On the plus side I encouraged the CNAs to unionize and one of them at least was very receptive.

      How did they feel about vaccine requirements for hospital workers? I imagine vaccine hesitancy isn't that common with nurses?

        There are rich rightwing nurses who have miserable pointless lives, and these have fallen down the QAnon hole very hard. They tend to be older and whiter. Then there are nurses who are immigrants or who come from much more modest backgrounds, and I think these are okay with firing people for refusing to get vaccinated. As always, materialism is the answer.

        I just asked my wife if she could guess how many people are refusing to get vaccinated but she has no idea. All we know for certain is that these people are very very present.

          Thanks!

          Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Materialism has literally never failed me in many attempts at trying to make sense of the world.
