To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer." Mahatma Gandhi

Saw all the employees were wearing masks at the supermarket and the manager said it was a corporate mandate. Emailed their corporate office that this sends the message vaccines don't work and there is no advantage to getting vaccinated, and telling them in a tight labor market this will cost them applicants.
I have to say the public health authorities here pretty much NEVER said "wear a mask". That was not their advice. Their advice was "wear a face covering". Everyone seemed to use the term mask and they could only bring themselves to say "face covering". "Face covering" this, "face covering" that.
So it was wear a bandana, tie a t-shirt around your face, whatever, according to the advice public health gave. "Face covering", what even is that, why can't they speak in the language everyone else uses? They come across like people (excuse me I mean peoplex) on twitter convinced the ungendered term folks is gendered, only noone even knows why. Now I don't know that I ever saw a t-shirt, saw some bandanas, stayed even further away from those people!!! (and I was distancing from people anyway)

Reached out to a Libertarian candidate in the area who opposes mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and shutdowns and who cares about deficits. Iris Lilies you are not the only one onto that issue.
Our local market workers *asked* that management impose mask requirements for customers and workers. The management went along with their wishes. I doubt anyone would work there, here, now, without such protection.
Probably because they have a clue or two about the situation.
These are separate assertions of mine.
First, the fact that vaccines were supposed to let life get back to normal but that hasn't happened due to big government sends a message to everyone in society not just employees that is a disincentive to vaccination.
The second and separate assertion is that having to wear a mask 8 hours a day is a disincentive to employment. There are currently 10 million job openings but only 8.5 million unemployed people. Front line worker positions are the hardest to fill. Would you want to stand on your feet all day wearing a mask for low wages?
I am thankful that I do not have to make a work decision about either Texas, Florida, or many of the southern states (am retired). I have written them off for probably a long time. Told hubby that Texas will never see a $$ from me.
