A free market capitalist would have zero, or very limited unemployment benefits that encourage people to remain out of the work force, and zero forced vaccination, which discourage some people to enter, or remain in, the work force.

The current situation is the result of manipulation, not a free market.

No, it is not. It is the product of workers finally learning that slave wages and crap benefits are not worth it. Government money ended and we have not seen a downward drift of wages or increased competition. The opposite; the Great Resignation has intensified. Vaccine mandates help attract employees in many areas of the country where people do not want to be around unvaccinated people, who they perceive to be selfish asshats who put others at risk needlessly. Me included: you want into my office, wear a mask and show me your vaccine card. No? Find another employer, because I am not interested. I'm a fat, middle-aged white man with asthma and high blood pressure. COVID would make me its bitch if I get it, so not interested in the excuses.

If people have decided it isn't worth working, and if government money has ended, then how are people surviving? Is everyone turning into a thief, or are they crawling into cardboard boxes and starving?

End the free money and end forced vaccinations (I thought women, and men too, owned their own bodies) and you'll have levels of employment like we had 2 years ago, when workplace participation was at an all time high.

By the way, I got vaccinated as soon as I was eligible. But I would never presume to force my neighbors, or their children, to do so. I get to live my life and they get to live theirs.

NOW, all of a sudden you are scared to die?

Sheesh. Diet and exercise probably too tough or a regimen.

It's easier to demand everyone else accommodate by getting themselves vaxxed, rather than assume personal responsibility.

This really does illustrate the different ways people look at life. Some want to control others for their own convenience, while others want to control their own lives and are happy to extend that courtesy to others.

Hey Adam, can it be assumed that you are not a registered democrat?

Leon, I hope this doesn't cross the line about "politics" in a thread, if so, my apologies.

Mark, I consider keeping my family safe as more than a convenience. If you choose to be unvaxxed your personal responsibility is to stay away from everyone. I don't know why people feel they have a right to spread disease.

If you and your family are vaxxed, and you have confidence in it, then why worry about what others do?

The truth is, some vaxxed people are getting the virus too. So maybe you and your family should likewise isolate from the rest of us, since you are not immune either.

A big +1...... and by the way, it's NOT a disease as many like to say. It's a VIRUS with a 99.9+% survival rate for most IF you even get infected.

You are so right! That is why I never look both ways when crossing the street. 99.9% of the time you do not get hit by a car and when you do, you are unlikely to die.

COVID is an abbreviation for "Coronavirus Disease." Coronavirus Disease. So COVID-19 is the Coronavirus Disease of 2019.

How is it "NOT a disease"? The term is exactly that, the name of a disease (the disease cause by the SARS-CoV-2 virus). I'm not sure what the poster thinks disease means, but there is a whole category of diseases ("infectious disease") caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and even fungi.

Regardless of one's political bent, this has to be one of the dumbest statements on the internet, and that says something.

Unless of course you meant inflation. As far as I know, inflation isn't a virus, but it might as well be.... In that case, I apologize in advance.

You answered your own question. There is still a risk and the unvaxxed are perpetuating it. And you are right, we all have to deal with that.

I not surprisingly agree with Adam. Could be because he isn’t pretending science is liberal propaganda.and seems to have actually had some classes in economics and the social
Sciences.
