You're just distracting from the original point. People aren't striking because mandates. You're undermining the labor movement and deflecting from the real cause that is workplace safety and wages.
People are striking because of conditions, which include bad governance & bad corporate policy... largely around how inconsistent the handling of the pandemic has been
why are you separating out ultrapartisan reductionism here? both parties did horribly & New York City still has the worst death rates since the pandemic started
Many people are protesting & striking & resigning against mandates
There have been dozens of stories about this and they’ve all been debunked as right-wing grift. There’s a lot of money in this narrative right now and you’re literally parroting what amounts to science denial propaganda
I’m saying that the commissioner has every incentive to call what they’re doing a “strike” and is literally the only source saying so. If you put a bunch of workers on unpaid leave, a lot of them are going to burn their sick time. That’s not a strike. But a strike would be illegal and would let them recall the workers, which is the whole point.
yes, which falls mainly on owners & employers and not average mischaracterized Americans
Wolff is right here
Attributing the strikes to vaccine mandates is bullshit.

We wouldn't if the US wasn't full of anti-vaxx brainworms.
Don't tell me about what is or isn't about science while doing some underhanded anti-vaxx apologia.

"Distracting?"

I fucking work retail this is not partisan this is about safety.
yes, safety from bad governance & poor corporate policy
70% is only valid as a herd immunity target for diseases that do not reinfect and do not demonstrate an evolutionary rate capable of vaccine escape.
I appreciate the nuance Wolff thinks he’s applying but it’s neither the time nor place.
Edited as my 70% was vague.
Yes it's both the time and the place
~70% is for 12+, for adults it's actually quite a bit higher
For the most vulnerable populations the vaccine rate is 85%+
70% rate for the country doesn’t mean everywhere in the country reached 70% which is why we’re getting variants that can break through vaccines
it means the entire country has reached 70% for people over the age of 12

no, I am saying he's bad at policy... he's very inconsistent

No, I communicated the Fauci was inconsistent, because that's what I said
Jimmy Dore isn't anti-vax... he's said this multiple times

Better covid protections & higher wages are part and parcel to the larger struggle against being pitted against customers by owners/managers

so you're saying 2,000 NY firefighters just called in for some other reason?

yes, we can call labor action many names, but it's still labor action... within or outside of union strictures
