Vaccine or not?

Small business owners have to make tough decisions all the time. Depending on the nature of the business a covid outbreak could wipe a small business out for two weeks. That can do tremendous longterm damage and the owner may be stuck paying sick time when there's no money coming in because the business is closed. You can be upset, but a business doesn't exist to cater to the whims of certain employees.

Interesting word you used.... whims. In my particular case, it is not a 'whim' that I choose to not get an untested, unproven, unethical 'vaccine' shoved into my body. It has been a heart wrenching, well researched decision that my wife and I have prayed about a lot. I just find it telling that someone has such little regard for his employees that he believes he would fire them based on... well anything really. I am at a loss as to why anyone would want to give him anything extra in their employment. That to me is a sad way to run a business. My father was a small businessman and never took a vacation at the expense of his employees... many times went without a paycheck, etc etc etc... If you disagree, then you have no room to complain at the DMV, at the Post Office or any number of government agencies. Maybe all these years I was a fool. Of course many of those 'above and beyond' things I did.. pushing wheelchairs up the jetway.... going down to the baggage bin to get strollers... were for the people that really pay my check... the passengers. But I ain't doing them anymore. Congratulations.... you win. Caveat: the only wheelchair I will push is that of a veteran. I will GLADLY do that to my last day on the property.

What is really sad is that we are allowing a political 'crisis' to drive how we operate business.

For all your histrionics, it seems like you want somebody (i assume the government) to step in and say an employer can't require a vaccine. Once again, I have not instituted a vaccine mandate. I have no plan to do so, but if I feel it is necessary to keep my business profitable and open, I will do so. I dont want to do it, but I will if I have to. If that means I have to drop somebody that won't get it, I have other employees and my family that I have to worry about. Right now that's not an issue.

Edit : by the way, I've made some of the same sacrifices your father did on occasion.

Politics has driven an irreparable wedge between people in this country. People tend to worship their political party and it becomes the basis of who they are as a person.

Yep, it would be great for the country to shut the economy down.

It's either that, or everyone eventually balkinizing and the ruination of the country anyway. What other power do the people really possess? You can't like any of this vaccine mandate bullsh!t.

@SpaceCoastVol sorry you lost respect for me but what would happen to your employer and your job if people refused to ride their busses unless the drivers were vaccinated?

You can't be seriously saying that everybody will die of covid....

I did not say that and I hope you are smart enough to know I didn't. @hog88, to whom you replied, has said he would consider a vax mandate if it would cost him major customers. That's not dead customers, its just no customers.

Hopefully, people will come to their senses and it won't get to that.
