You wanna know what we have planned for my 4 year old's next birthday?
A covid shot.
I actually received my first vaccine shot on my birthday earlier this year. Took the day off.

Wow, really struck a nerve with the hypocrite thing huh. Let me guess, this is like the thousandth time someone's got you wrong on that.Yes, I took my kids to an outdoor concert in a county that has moderate community spread.
I guess that makes me a hypocrite because I don't want my kids spending 7 hours a day in an elementary classroom with someone has has a known exposure.
"Noeland the Harebrained Testimonials Flipper"I'm an innocent bystander.
Somehow I got stuck between the rock and a hard place and I'm down on my luck
Would you be comfortable letting your child go to school with a classmate who is known to carry loaded firearms? Chances are that nothing will happen. Don’t take away the kid’s childhood and make them stay at home.Wow, really struck a nerve with the hypocrite thing huh. Let me guess, this is like the thousandth time someone's got you wrong on that.
The issue is that I think the correct equivalent question would be if I was comfortable sending my child to a school with a classmate who carries a particularly sharp pencilWould you be comfortable letting your child go to school with a classmate who is known to carry loaded firearms?

It was a “yes or no” question. No need for philosophical obfuscation.The issue is that I think the correct equivalent question would be if I was comfortable sending my child to a school with a classmate who carries a particularly sharp pencil
I should add, that pencil was concerning for the kids parents and genuinely dangerous for his grandparents but it's ok, they invented an invisible t-shirt that means the pencil won't do any lasting damage. Of course, Randy's dad won't wear any t-shirt, he thinks we should all be impressed with his scrawny pasty body so fuck Randy's dad.

I’m sure he knows. I have no idea why a parent takes their kid to a concert regardless. Music is vile and the virus is dangerous. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Then why try to reframe the disease from a loaded weapon to a sharp pencil?
A sharp pencil is equidistant to one side of covid in a vaccinated population as a loaded gun in a child's hands is to the otherThen why try to reframe the disease from a loaded weapon to a sharp pencil?
I mean, how many children, parents, grandparents, teachers and staff could be seriously hurt or worse by one infected child? How many can be hurt by a loaded gun? And how many can be hurt by a pencil?
you went to pencil which was so far beyond ridiculous that it became intellectually disqualifying.
I am ready to return you to Payless, you discount flip flop.
Where is this vaccinated population you speak of? Point to it on a map.A sharp pencil is equidistant to one side of covid in a vaccinated population as a loaded gun in a child's hands is to the other

your job sucks, Mark. First off, smoking on a nursing home’s property before returning to a shift to serve senior citizens sounds like the most selfish scumbag shit outside of drugging and raping the seniors.It turned out to be 2 of my co-workers, not just one, that have Covid, both CNAs, one of whom came to work anyway, even though they had symptoms, and exposed others, during their smoke breaks, when they congregate and have their masks off. I don't know if either were vaccinated or not.
And, this morning, during our 2nd weekly Covid test, the big boss came in and announced that one of the LPNs at our sister facility (which his family also owns) has Covid and is in the ICU on a ventilator and probably not going to make it. He urged everyone who isn't vaccinated (I am) to do so, and, thankfully, some of the anti-vaxxers at work have finally come around and done it (the rest of us not dying yet from our January/February Moderna vaccinations is pretty compelling evidence that it's safe), but, there are still stubborn ones who won't.
your job sucks
Maybe it’s a vicious circle. The amount the state subsidizes for the care of senior citizens should allow for way higher wagers for the staff, more staff, better hours, and better pay.Which is why probably half of more of nursing home staffs smoke.
Which would probably equate to better care.Maybe it’s a vicious circle. The amount the state subsidizes for the care of senior citizens should allow for way higher wagers for the staff, more staff, better hours, and better pay.
If better care was their motivation, sure, maybe. But nursing homes are like any other industry. Their motivation is profit.Which would probably equate to better care.
True. My grandmothers was pretty nice. It was cleanly and communicative. But all the other ones I’ve had to go to are awful.If better care was their motivation, sure, maybe. But nursing homes are like any other industry. Their motivation is profit.
Hey bud. Chin up. You got a friend of yours right here who got vaccinated.A friend of mine and his wife who are antivaxxers thanks to his wife spending too much time on FB got infected with covid thanks to their toddler who brought it home from daycare. They won’t get vaccinated after this. Wife has a holistic medicine plan.
sad eye roll.
