As a whole I think Gen X is the most frustrated.
not me, I'm quite grateful not to have the messiah complex of the Boomers & Millennials

I've never concerned myself with that which was beyond my control

SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

living life to the fullest by focusing on what I can control is the secret of my success

there is no nihilism is being a pilgrim, and I live a very Christian life, following the path of Christ himself

even as the messiah, He chose not to intervene, but rather let the Romans crucify him, that was the point

Jesus Christ was not a powerful man, just a humble fisherman

He didn't go about imposing an utopia with the power of the Almighty

He simply lived a good life, and spread the Good News

One has to wonder if MHF is only 25% vaxxed, what the real percentage of America is - granted we're prob not a good representation of "average Americans".

I know my wife's employer (Major Corp USA) is only about 35% and the higher ups are worried the front line grunts will quit if forced to get the jab, at the same time, they can't afford to pay for weekly testing for that many employees.

My brother employer (Mid size Corp USA) in the northeast is only 20% and management is in the same position - except that they make parts the DoD absolutely needs and prob cant get anywhere else easily.

Agree. That’s why I think we’re at the crest of this wave. The mandates are unenforceable, and will be replaced by another distraction shortly.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

I am not an employee, so I don't see it through the eyes of an employee

I am not Major Corp USA neither, so I don't see it that way neither

as a small businessman, I see it from my point of view

there is no escaping the government when you are a property owning businessman

if the law says my employees need to be vaccinated to get the job done, I have no choice but to comply

if somebody wants to quit over it, nothing I can do about that, moving on

Right - then 80% of your workforce (which is highly skilled) walks out.

I don't think that will be the case, I don't think you represent anywhere near 80%

market forces will prevail over your virtue signalling /shrugs

I didn't say I represented them - quite the contrary. I said likely they will walk - even 40% would shut things down. We will see what happens...
