Abbot got a lot of hate for the "bars being closed but can be open if they serve food" thing but the guy stuck to his plan. Lets face it, if thats the worse we have to worry about we got it good.

Naw I'm not budging on the "it's only a little bit of slavery". Employers REQUIRE en mass statewide wear the mask or you don't work. Health condition, fuck you, and if you're broke good luck with suing.

Unemployment? Good luck getting someone on the phone if the employer screws you on this end.

Medical treatment and cancer screening all those months, nope. Sick mom dying in the ICU, can't see her and have to talk though a cell phone.

FUCK ABBOT. Playing political theatre with people's very lives.

I work in Texas and my employer does NOT require a mask. It is not a statewide mandate. Go to Home Depot or Lowes or Walmart and there are people walking around without a mask.

The hospital thing is a HOSPITAL REQUIREMENT. Not a state requirement (That I am aware of correct me if Im wrong with sources)

Every state has long wait times for unemployment.

Yea there are some companies like that, but more often than not you're a second class citizen in too many ways.

I can't step on company property without needing one. Lot's more places require the employee to wear one that don't.

Lucky to have a job though - the talk of getting the vaccine as a contingency to work at the office is something I'm having to ponder.

Picture being laid off for six months, and then landing a gig that would require it, in Texas. Then I have to think about how I'm going to have to fight it or quit (good luck getting through to unemployment). Also the ladypede works in healthcare, 100% required or no job. She just got into this career and planned on staying with it

Not trying to sound negative, but STILL going along with Chyna virus theatre and the possibility of having to fight on !ultple fronts when your broke and don't have legal resources is frustrating. it's my experience is all.
