President Biden will announce a new rule Thursday from the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to require all private employers with 100 or more employees
y'know considering all the antivaxx and lolbertarian sentiment
Idk. A majority of Americans support a vaccine mandate to employers, and even more support it for high school students. Only around 30% of people are opposed. I guess you could argue that how much it’ll rile up that 30% might outweigh the support of the 60%, but this is a popular move.
It actually makes them money. When the hospitals are filled with Covid patients, no elective surgery can take place. Hell, sometimes necessary surgery can't take place. This loses insurance companies money. The more people that get vaccinated, the more hospitals can go back to doing other stuff than Covid, the more money insurance companies can make
Insurance companies basically work like credit card processors. They take a little cut out of every single transaction, and Obamacare, which they wrote, made it a percentage rather than a flat fee. The bigger the bill the more money they keep/"make".
Those are all old farts. Didn't they say something about generation Zyklon or something? I doubt little Timmy in Cascadia is going to let his country fall to Communism™
This might energize libs who would otherwise stay home. Tons of people who've been trying to follow the rules for the last ~18 months are fed up with it, and with chuds who keep pissing and shidding and dragging this thing out. Libs will universally like this.
Also, from a Politics of Spite perspective, plenty of libs will love seeing their conservative coworkers have to get vaccinated get owned or fuck up their jobs.
Eh, maybe. It seems to me that the political reaction to Covid is all right wing cranks getting freaking out about 1984 and the liberals seem very anemic in comparison, but I would love to be wrong.
We’re just going to keep letting the global south act as a Petri dish to develop new vaccine resistant strains because we need to protect big pharma shareholders and IP precedent, so we’ll see.
This is good, but also may unironically lose the Democrats the midterms.
They were going to lose it anyway.
I don’t disagree. The Q energy is going to wipe the midterms. At least 5 more house reps will be as insane as Marjorie Taylor Green.
:sicko-yes:
What a fucking DEMENTED country

If we had a zombie outbreak, the chuds would have biting parties to own the libs
Same. :yea:
There's already a pretty long list for that.

A majority support universal medicare and look what keeps happening
Health insurance companies don’t stand to lose money from vaccine mandates

How do insurance companies make money when people are getting surgeries?

Capitalism everybody
Nope.
It’s not about approval it’s about who will be energized to vote. The conspiracy nutters are going to be full strength.
i wouldn't say full strength

i think lots of regular people hate the anti-mask nutters
True, but if he actually does manage to really end the pandemic I think that might be enough to win. Doubt this is enough to do that though.

It'll likely happen so why not?
