I worked with this company for just over a year operating the largest machinery in the world. I was never late, never called sick, ensured a safe clean environment on the haul roads and in the trucks. I'm truly heartbroken theyve decided to force us to be vaxxed. Theyve lost 18% of their 3700 person workforce over this. Gotta wonder whats in it for them, theyve done this voluntarily, the gov isnt even forcing them.
Anyways, wish me luck peopl, this is the most insane thing I've ever done in my life, and I've fought very hard to be here, fighting addictions, court cases, and a ton of horrible choices in my teens. I'm 29 now and im losing what could easily be a golden path to retirement.
Pray for me.
That's terrible. I love the Townships. I used to go to the Knowlton Pub a lot back in the day. There used to be a picture of Stallone partying with the locals at a New Years party. Probably long gone now. They also had a great Polo outlet in town. Skied Owl's Head, Bromont and Orford for many years.
I had a full view of one of the ski mountains that you obviously know of since it's one of the only four big ones in the area. Quiet property surrounded by hedges. I rented it out to skiers in the winter, and used in the summer because it was nicely dead in that area with the hill closed. Sucks to let it go, but it looks like I won't be able to get back into Canada for years from the looks of it. And again, fuck Turdeau.
And yes, Stallone used to visit the area in the summer because it's really quiet. Most stars went up to the Laurentians because there's a couple of "jetset" areas, but it seems that Sly like to keep a low profile. Good on him.
This whole border thing is insane. I have the same situation, but the opposite direction. I can't get to FL because I'm vaccine-free. Meanwhile both countries are letting immigrants in like it's a Black Friday sale.
Many many years ago a friend from college had a summer place in Knowlton. One day he was laying out in the sun when someone came up and blocked it out. He heard a woman's voice ask "hey, Kiefer wanted me to ask if you want to come play football him and his buddies?". It was Julia Roberts and the Sutherlands were his neighbors. Poor guy almost bit his tongue trying to answer her. He had a good look at those long legs from where he was.
Your cottage sounds amazing. Maybe you could rent it out in the summer as well as winter and get a management company to look after the place. Hopefully you could break even and be able to keep the place? I'm sure you've thought about all of this though. Best of luck Pede.
Nice. I missed out on Stalone a few times and not by much. Sucks.
The money thing isn't a problem. I got offers for 4x the price l paid, its more the principal of the thing. If I feel like a pariah somewhere, I don't want to spend a penny there ever again.
No, they didn't hate me. I had a great time with them. You sound like somebody from the rest of Canada who got his information from Rex Murphy. The area I was was more Anglo, but the francophones were as cool if not more.
Yes, l do speak french fluently. Have spoken to many and they were a lot friendlier to me than the anglos in the area who we're really reserved and kept to themselves. Pretty snobby actually, which to be honest, I'm used to it since I'm from the most stuck-up neighborhood in the Boston area.
But when you hear most Canadian speak, they dump on quebecers and bring up the referendum 24/7, meanwhile the quebecers never bring up the rest of Canada because it basically don't care about them. They do like to drink and party though, which is really fun around the campfireor yard gathering in the summer. Drinking tea and playing lawnbowling just isn't my thing.
No, the frogs hated you. They hate everyone not born in Quebec. I know plenty of frogs that openly tell you that if you're not born in quebec, with a french name, you're not welcome.
I lived in Montreal four years, my sister still lives there, but yeah you spent a couple of weekends on Crescent, Bishop and Drummond got drunk at sir Winston's Pub and because of that you know more then me, cool. Maybe its just you they hated? After a couple of exchanges with you, I wouldn't blame them and I would see why.
They hate even people born in Quebec with a french name. They hate everything. especially themselves. They're more servile to American's because $ and there are genes from less files on roi (the french whores) that make them naturally servile to a few bucks for poutine, but the truth is they hate everything because it's less backwards than them.
Yup, sad AF. No matter their political affiliation, French quebecers are not offended by much, and that alone is cool.
I was in a market once, some guy is talking to a guy four daughters, and he says wow I got three daughters that age. The guy answers, my doctor said you're more likely to get girls if you make them really deep. They both started laughing, the wives were laughing and two other customers not far away were laughing. I swear if that was said in Boston or anywhere else everybody would be offended and embarrassed. 🔲
That's true but the important thing to remember is that government is NOT God. So the can communists can believe and enforce that all they want, but that does not make it so.
There is only one God. And through Him all things are possible.
Oh, Canadian: instead of driving into Faucis house drive one of those monsters over Trudeau. You pull that off and I promise I can assemble an extraction team for wherever you get locked up.
We are at the turning point by necessity. We must create our own economy. F money, look what it has brought to this country and its people. I’m sorry to hear, I’m in USA in same boat with a 100% remote possibility to keep my job still hanging in the balance. Lord I pray to you, give the Supreme Court the strength in resolve to do what they know is right.
Oh well there's your problem. This is God's way of telling you to get the hell out of there before the camps are operating. Staying in Canada is like a Jew chosing to stay in Germany during the Nazi rise to power.
Maybe start a Give Share Go (or whatever the alternative is to gofundme) for your legal fund and post some links here. If you get a thousand bucks, we'll that certainly can't hurt.
Rebel News and that Canadian pastor have some balls. I figured the SS is in control in Canada and there is little hope. Their provinces should join the Republic of Florida. 🙂👍
You aren't alone, and when the dust settles, which it's already looking like it's starting to, you will still be alive, and you'll be better off than before. Never follow the herd.
Or some of us remember him as a major troll from a year ago, and if you read his other posts they seem to indicate he’s in the USA. Now suddenly he’s “Canadian.”
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. It’s bad for you.
I am canadian, and as far as I know, which is not that much on the subject, a companie can't even ask for your vaccination status unless they are governement/hospitals. He might not be lying or might be, but in quebec I did not have to give my vaxx status. Only thing they can do is make a poll where you respond or not.
Faggots, obviously.
Don't worry fren, temporary unemployment and not knowing what's next is better that an exploding fucking heart. Jesus couldn't have been resurrected without first being crucified. Will pray for you.
There's clearly one butt hurt covidian down voting every comment. You can see him all the way down the thread. How's your life down voter? Are you happy? Are you jealous we are all living a happy normal life while you hide at home behind a mask with a false faith in a useless vaccine?
How? Do you live in a rural area? My living expenses alone, not inclusive of taxes, exceed 50k. I looked at moving right, but now that real estate is off the charts, I'm looking at monthly payments in the 2.5k or higher ballpark even in the so-called "low cost of living" areas.
If 2.5k is the low end you are not in a low cost of living area. Where I live, even after inflation of housing in recent years you can still find 4 bed houses with a full basement for 200k if it needs a bit of updating and minor repairs. If you have the 20% down you should have under 1k payment.
Then all over expenses including food for a moderate size family from cheap grocery(walmart, aldi, kroger with sales and coupons) Should be 1k or less. Health insurance is the wildcard, some places have excellent family policies that dont cost a lot, my work is like 600 extra per month for spouse plus children. Then you have to account for tax incentives, 2k per child plus almost same amount from earned income tax credit, qbout 11k in incentives for 3 children if you make 50k. With 50k, about 35 takehome after tax, plus the tax credits, you get 46k annual budget. Even with 500 per month insurance, thats 30k, so you are left with 16k for saving, investing, transportation costs, etc. If you dont require a ford superduty king ranch edition to commute 5 miles to work, that is more than reasonable. In actuality i might be underestimating the government incentives, i think with 3 children on only 50k income your wife and kids actually qualify for medicaid coverage. So thats another several thousand dollars a year back in your pocket if so.
Also before anyone says something about government handouts, it isnt a handout when you are a hard working middle class worker and they tax the crap out of you. In that case the system is just designed to return your stolen property if you meet the criteria and know how to use the system. The government is the reason wages are low and expenses are high, and then they rob you on top of it. Might as well take back what you can so the bureaucrats don't use your taxes on something else dumber.
If you have kids, find a state with a tax voucher system, so you dont have to pay out of pocket for homeschool or charter schools, or you get lower costs on semi-private and private schools. Also when they are approaching college age the vouchers support being able to selectively send them to various trade schools or college prep schools to learn things you wouldnt have opportunity for in homeschool or other education establishments. In states with no voucher you have to pay 100% to send your kid any place but the school system you are closest to.
I want to point out that one issue is that when the rent is lower, the number of available jobs is lower. So, typically, when I find out some place has a lower rent, I really have to price in the event-risk of being unemployed and in an area where I can't find another comparable job. That could end up being more expensive than the rent in a more job-filled area.
But yes, your analysis makes sense if you get a lot back out of the government.
I presently live in southern indiana which has lots of jobs, with close access to more in louisville. Competition for houses can be firece but there are consistently ones on the market.
Rent in this area is around 4k/month for a family of 4. Low cost areas that really only dips to around 2500, for a 3 hour daily commute during normal times.
Let's say I eat too much and go down to no or cheap phones and live in the cheap house--
$2500 Housing
$300 Food (A month -- and this is low end)
$200 Energy (Nat gas or electric, average)
$100 Internet
$100 Car insurance (Estimated)
$50 Phones (Cut back)
$100/week transit
You're at 3350. That's already ~40k a year. How are you getting this any lower without subsidies? You can cut Food to 0 and eat out of garbage cans, and you still aren't making a real dent. Cut internet to a garbage plan, ok, maybe cut $50 there, go cheap on the insurance coverage.
If you think my numbers are crazy, try some of these other calculators. They don't vary too much, but I chose Chicago since it's among the cheaper of the larger metro areas (in some ways.)
Note, I didn't add things like health insurance or clothes or other incidentals. Bare minimum without skimping really is going to start at 30k, without government assistance.
Where in NYC are you getting 3.5k for 3 beds? When I lived there 15 years ago, it was 2k for a street-level pre-war studio in Manhattan with a 30-45min commute still. Outer borough? Even Washington Heights and such 15 years ago was costing $1400/month for a roach-infested pre-war studio.
That thing is like 10x the size of the original killdozer.....JUST SAYIN.
In all seriousness, I've been out of work right at a year, one of the best years of my life. The experience really gives you clarity, of what is and isn't needed in life.
Construction, Mines, and timber companies are always hiring in Idaho. We need all the hard working non drug addicts we can get. Bunch of retirees move here and we have no workers except spoiled commifornians who all want to be youtubers
I firmly believe you will be fine and and it would not surprise me at all if you find a job making even more or start a business making more. It's almost a given barely trying from what I'm hearing out there. I just started an LLC part time. After running the numbers I can absolutely make more running my business full time. I don't even give a shit anymore about the mandate. No impact on me either way.
“Therefore I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? [26] Consider the birds of the sky: They don't sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they? [27] Can any of you add one moment to his life span by worrying? [28] And why do you worry about clothes? Observe how the wildflowers of the field grow: They don't labor or spin thread. [29] Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these. [30] If that's how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won't he do much more for you-you of little faith? [31] So don't worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' [32] For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. [33] But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. [34] Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
No, this guy is in trouble. We can wish him well but dark times are ahead for young people. The very young are in serious trouble and society needs to wake the fuck up.
Its easy for me to say hold your ground as I am just an unvaxxed stay at home mom. It's a noble cause and I wish you the best. Surely to work there you have a set of skills that can get you a job elsewhere. Good luck.
In Toronto here, most of the people i know are in your shoes. I don't trust their numbers. Us not submitting to the mandates is why they had to lock us down again. No one is complying and things are falling apart because of it
Canada is basically the forgotten state. Americans tend to forget about Canada a lot easier than Canadians could ever forget about America, and most Canadians know far more about what's happening in the US than they do of their own country or government.
The entire Canadian identity is "At least we're not those stupid/rude/arrogant Americans with their fake and corrupt two party system!"
As an American living in Canada I like to inform them that American's frequently forget Canada exists. And they aren't exactly living the high life with five flavors of communism up here.
My son has always gravitated toward heavy machinery, garbage trucks, construction equipment etc. since he was 1. Totally a normal super straight pureblooded guy dream to have one of those jobs.
Best wishes man but it should be a short leave. That truck hauls $400,000 of revenue each trip if there is a competent shovel operator. They’re not going to let it not run… and there’s no labour available to fill your position. You may need to relocate but apply at other mines, there’s likely a company that would take you on.
I am applying for a different job, second interview is coming this week. However, they negotiated with their union about the vaccine. The job I am applying for is "grandfathered", but they are now trying to renegotiate the vax agreement.
I will still plow forward, but am not sure what is going to happen. Not getting the shot. Hoping the SOCTUS tosses the mandate, but not counting on them, anymore.
Okay, Canada jokes aside, sorry you’re going through a rough patch friend. In my experience the biggest lessons and gifts in life seem to be preceded by [at the time] seemingly impossible or unfair experiences. Keep your chin up, you’ll get through this.
I would be interested to know how many people have the training/skills to operate that thing.
I'm sure they cant call the temp agency and get a replacement.
My nephew has a 6 figure job and refuses the jab. They havent fired him because what he does is so specialized and requires years of training that they cant afford to lose him.
Looks like you work in cramped quarters with hundreds of people! Good thing thing they’re imposing a mandate on you, to protect all those people around you every day!
But in all seriousness, so sorry pede. Praying you’ll have peace and find something better! And hopefully get compensated one of these days for unlawful termination upon refusal of a medical procedure.
You can't do that job if you're dead from the shot. And you can't do it for long if you get side effects that radically change your now much shortened life. They are making you pay a price, so pay it and move on. My son is getting thrown out of the Marine Corps over this shot, many people are losing a lot. The tide will turn.
Also remember, knowing how to safely drive one of those monsters is a unique skill set, others will want it.
I think down the road there will be some major lawsuits to make people whole from these firings/discharges. The Supreme Court just needs to do the right thing
Looks like that truck could do some serious damage to the control shack...and main office...and all those fancy-ass management cars out in the parking lot...
Never quit make them fire you. If they demand you sign something demand they cover the cost of you paying a lawyer to review it aka don’t sign anything.
Everything always works out for those who want it to.
If you desire to be successful, you will. If you desire to be comfortable, you will. If you give up and dwell in self pity, that is when the weight of the world comes down on individuals.
I worked with this company for just over a year operating the largest machinery in the world. I was never late, never called sick, ensured a safe clean environment on the haul roads and in the trucks. I'm truly heartbroken theyve decided to force us to be vaxxed. Theyve lost 18% of their 3700 person workforce over this. Gotta wonder whats in it for them, theyve done this voluntarily, the gov isnt even forcing them.

Always remember this:
Things aren’t happening to you, they’re happening for you.
It’s much better to be alive then be a slave to a company that hates you.
Walk tall, stand proud. So many of us are right there holding the line with you OP.
NEVER COMPLY. NEVER SUBMIT. STAND YOUR GROUND.
It is bigger than Killdozer! Use it to run over the company!
NGL, I think this could do a lot of damage. Maybe make a spare key, just in case.
I've heard a rumour that all cat keys are the same!
They are. The newer ones don't have keys to start you type in a code.
It took half a scroll for a killdozer comment. I approve!
Good advice.
Ed Mylett
You damn right
Put in for a religious exemption. Just do it.
The gov of canada doesnt allow it for this... :(
I have to sell my summer home in Quebec's eastern townships because l can no longer go. Fuck Turdeau. 🖕
That's terrible. I love the Townships. I used to go to the Knowlton Pub a lot back in the day. There used to be a picture of Stallone partying with the locals at a New Years party.

You're just doing it wrong, you have to sneak across while repeating no habla ingles over and over
Who's stopping you from going to Florida?
better that you're selling it now instead of waiting a couple years and the government just takes it from you. Canada's fucked.
Yeah, I just don't want to associate with a place where I'm not welcome.
The frogs hated you anyway. No big loss. I'll miss Crescent Street in MTL.
No, they didn't hate me. I had a great time with them. You sound like somebody from the rest of Canada who got his information from Rex Murphy. The area I was was more Anglo, but the francophones were as cool if not more.
Sound like a Canadian? No, American here who has visited Canada often.
Do you speak French? Get a Quebecer drunk and have them tell you how they really feel sometime. I have.
Yes, l do speak french fluently. Have spoken to many and they were a lot friendlier to me than the anglos in the area who we're really reserved and kept to themselves. Pretty snobby actually, which to be honest, I'm used to it since I'm from the most stuck-up neighborhood in the Boston area.

The brainwashed ones that hate americans can go fuck off, they are the same kind that are brainwashed in the big blue cities of america
We're selling our cottage that's been in the family for 52yrs in Ontario because none of can go either. Fuck it, We ain't caving
I've always wanted to visit Quebec because I have ancestry there (French). Sounds like I might be able to do that for a long time, if ever.
Yup, sad AF. No matter their political affiliation, French quebecers are not offended by much, and that alone is cool.

I thought it was based idgaf
Yeah Communist regimes tend to be on the Athiest side
In communism government is god, and it's a jealous god - there shall be no other gods before it.
That's true but the important thing to remember is that government is NOT God. So the can communists can believe and enforce that all they want, but that does not make it so.

I wish man lol everyday. At 700 litres per hour id have to refuel 8 times on the way to ottawa at full throttle LOL
You can fit a BIG tank in the back.
Just fill up the back with diesel and run a siphon down to the tank.
Set up a GoFundMe. Go down in a blaze of glory. Make bail, we send the helo, then you work in Texas.
I like that you've thought about this. Stay ungovernable. 👌
That thing would be one hell of a killdozer. A Killdumper.
I took one of those this morning
Start your own business?
We are at the turning point by necessity. We must create our own economy. F money, look what it has brought to this country and its people. I’m sorry to hear, I’m in USA in same boat with a 100% remote possibility to keep my job still hanging in the balance. Lord I pray to you, give the Supreme Court the strength in resolve to do what they know is right.
Parallel economy is definitely a way out of this. Why do you think they "cracked down" so hard on noncomplying businesses way at the start of this?
Also why are they hiring 80,000 IRS agents.
Nobody said it was gonna be easy.
People are too lazy to start their own business. They would rather finagle a vax exemption and continue working as a wage slave for a liberal company.
Fuck em both
Oh well there's your problem. This is God's way of telling you to get the hell out of there before the camps are operating. Staying in Canada is like a Jew chosing to stay in Germany during the Nazi rise to power.
Keep showing up to work. Do not quit. Sue.
Im on unpaid leave, but the gov of canada is corrupt the courts will most likely side against me.
Litigate anyway. Clog up the court. Fight what you know in your heart is unethical.
Make them prove the vaccine is effective in the arguments they are making. With facts.
Safe: no long term safety studies- so cannot be called safe.
Effective: by official rules must be at least 50% effective at STOPPING infection to be ruled safe against THE CURRENT BIG STRAIN. So not effective.
If it reduces symptoms- have them show you a study that proves that. Hint: none have ever shown that, in fact the opposite is what is shown.
Im going to court over it for sure. I will fight.
Maybe start a Give Share Go (or whatever the alternative is to gofundme) for your legal fund and post some links here. If you get a thousand bucks, we'll that certainly can't hurt.
Good for you. Stand up for what is right. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
Rebel News and The Democracy Fund have had some big wins already!! They will fight on your behalf! They need stories like this.
Have they? Can you share some details?
Rebel News and that Canadian pastor have some balls. I figured the SS is in control in Canada and there is little hope. Their provinces should join the Republic of Florida. 🙂👍
how can a company force vaccine if it's not governement-owned or medical?
I don't think canadian companies have the right to even know your vaccination status if you don't work for governement.
You aren't alone, and when the dust settles, which it's already looking like it's starting to, you will still be alive, and you'll be better off than before. Never follow the herd.
Your misery now will be a blessing in the future.
Who the fuck downvoted this? What in the fuck?
ignore the left-tard smooth brains who downvote
they're here to demoralize
Or some of us remember him as a major troll from a year ago, and if you read his other posts they seem to indicate he’s in the USA. Now suddenly he’s “Canadian.”

Amen to that.
There's clearly one butt hurt covidian down voting every comment. You can see him all the way down the thread. How's your life down voter? Are you happy? Are you jealous we are all living a happy normal life while you hide at home behind a mask with a false faith in a useless vaccine?
The feds take breaks from the gloryhole to come over here and down vote posts.
If you get banned here, you can still downvote...
this. something nefarious is going on with the vaccine.
Commie smooth brain retards.
Probably some jealous fag that drives a tiny and low-energy Prius. BTW- Good luck fren!
They are terrified that they actually are brainwashed and they'll do about anything to keep their brainwashing intact.
The government will fire you if you are on drugs and fire you if you don't take drugs. What the fuck.
Clown world 101. Insanity.
that statement deserves its own post
It's time to fire the government
That dump truck looks like a breeding ground for covid. And with the crowds that gather in the cab, it's no wonder they want you to get the shot.
XD me and my cross shift who are tested daily. LoL you know it!
Ya, out there in the middle of no where, with the teaming masses with runny noses. I heard covid likes mining pits. Or was that...?
Feeding a family of 5 on less than half of that. You'll be okay. Good luck fren. Prayers out nevertheless.
How? Do you live in a rural area? My living expenses alone, not inclusive of taxes, exceed 50k. I looked at moving right, but now that real estate is off the charts, I'm looking at monthly payments in the 2.5k or higher ballpark even in the so-called "low cost of living" areas.
If 2.5k is the low end you are not in a low cost of living area. Where I live, even after inflation of housing in recent years you can still find 4 bed houses with a full basement for 200k if it needs a bit of updating and minor repairs. If you have the 20% down you should have under 1k payment.
Then all over expenses including food for a moderate size family from cheap grocery(walmart, aldi, kroger with sales and coupons) Should be 1k or less. Health insurance is the wildcard, some places have excellent family policies that dont cost a lot, my work is like 600 extra per month for spouse plus children. Then you have to account for tax incentives, 2k per child plus almost same amount from earned income tax credit, qbout 11k in incentives for 3 children if you make 50k. With 50k, about 35 takehome after tax, plus the tax credits, you get 46k annual budget. Even with 500 per month insurance, thats 30k, so you are left with 16k for saving, investing, transportation costs, etc. If you dont require a ford superduty king ranch edition to commute 5 miles to work, that is more than reasonable. In actuality i might be underestimating the government incentives, i think with 3 children on only 50k income your wife and kids actually qualify for medicaid coverage. So thats another several thousand dollars a year back in your pocket if so.
Also before anyone says something about government handouts, it isnt a handout when you are a hard working middle class worker and they tax the crap out of you. In that case the system is just designed to return your stolen property if you meet the criteria and know how to use the system. The government is the reason wages are low and expenses are high, and then they rob you on top of it. Might as well take back what you can so the bureaucrats don't use your taxes on something else dumber.
If you have kids, find a state with a tax voucher system, so you dont have to pay out of pocket for homeschool or charter schools, or you get lower costs on semi-private and private schools. Also when they are approaching college age the vouchers support being able to selectively send them to various trade schools or college prep schools to learn things you wouldnt have opportunity for in homeschool or other education establishments. In states with no voucher you have to pay 100% to send your kid any place but the school system you are closest to.
I want to point out that one issue is that when the rent is lower, the number of available jobs is lower. So, typically, when I find out some place has a lower rent, I really have to price in the event-risk of being unemployed and in an area where I can't find another comparable job. That could end up being more expensive than the rent in a more job-filled area.
But yes, your analysis makes sense if you get a lot back out of the government.
Do you have any suggestions of nice states/towns with reasonably priced homes?
I've been looking for somewhere to move but I've been seeing very high housing prices even in areas I thought were low cost-of-living.
I presently live in southern indiana which has lots of jobs, with close access to more in louisville. Competition for houses can be firece but there are consistently ones on the market.
Beans and rice and Jesus Christ
Rent in this area is around 4k/month for a family of 4. Low cost areas that really only dips to around 2500, for a 3 hour daily commute during normal times.
Let's say I eat too much and go down to no or cheap phones and live in the cheap house--
$2500 Housing $300 Food (A month -- and this is low end) $200 Energy (Nat gas or electric, average) $100 Internet $100 Car insurance (Estimated) $50 Phones (Cut back) $100/week transit
You're at 3350. That's already ~40k a year. How are you getting this any lower without subsidies? You can cut Food to 0 and eat out of garbage cans, and you still aren't making a real dent. Cut internet to a garbage plan, ok, maybe cut $50 there, go cheap on the insurance coverage.
If you think my numbers are crazy, try some of these other calculators. They don't vary too much, but I chose Chicago since it's among the cheaper of the larger metro areas (in some ways.)

Note, I didn't add things like health insurance or clothes or other incidentals. Bare minimum without skimping really is going to start at 30k, without government assistance.
Sorry, $100/month for transit.
Where in NYC are you getting 3.5k for 3 beds? When I lived there 15 years ago, it was 2k for a street-level pre-war studio in Manhattan with a 30-45min commute still. Outer borough? Even Washington Heights and such 15 years ago was costing $1400/month for a roach-infested pre-war studio.
Northwest Arkansas.
if you're Canadian, in a post from yesterday i read where Alberta might be the best place for conservatives
not sure if that helps or if you can even move there
i wish we could make Florida a safe haven for Canadian dissidents
you'd be the type of (permanent) snowbird we'd love to have here
I can possibly move there, very worried they get turned by the federal gov into covidiots.
Please reach out to the democracy fund in Canada. I donate to them to help them right for Canadians in your situation
Alberta is fucked bro.
Don’t think it’s actually conservative. My wife and I want to go to Florida.
I wish we could make Alberta westish Dakota
The "conservative" government in Alberta is a globalist hack.
Alberta and Saskatchewan should join the Republic of Texas.
Same here 10 years with company 100k plus a year. Poof. Gone. No vax no job.
I was supposed to be gone on the 4th but they delayed it because of scotus. After hearing these clowns, I’m done.
That thing is like 10x the size of the original killdozer.....JUST SAYIN.
In all seriousness, I've been out of work right at a year, one of the best years of my life. The experience really gives you clarity, of what is and isn't needed in life.
If you feel comfortable, can you share a bit about your experience?
Like, how do you afford to go on? Is it savings? Small jobs? Husband/wife also work?
What sort of things have you done with your time? Hobbies? Skill-building? Writing? I won't judge anything, i'm so very curious.
I'm happy to hear you've gotten by, and that you've found the past year to be enriching.
Construction, Mines, and timber companies are always hiring in Idaho. We need all the hard working non drug addicts we can get. Bunch of retirees move here and we have no workers except spoiled commifornians who all want to be youtubers
Good to know, this is info i needed thank you man.
I firmly believe you will be fine and and it would not surprise me at all if you find a job making even more or start a business making more. It's almost a given barely trying from what I'm hearing out there. I just started an LLC part time. After running the numbers I can absolutely make more running my business full time. I don't even give a shit anymore about the mandate. No impact on me either way.
Matthew 6:25-34 CSB
God bless you for posting this verse. It hit me hard, was something I truly needed to read, thank you.
I love you, fren.
That's insane to say the least. You're still young. God speed. 🙏
Sorry this happened but you’re so young. A million blessings await you. Stay positive.
With respect --
No, this guy is in trouble. We can wish him well but dark times are ahead for young people. The very young are in serious trouble and society needs to wake the fuck up.
Here are some great and helpful links. Please read!

That thing would make one hell of a kill dozer
Its why i posted it, lol it crosses my mind every day. A team on the top deck with mini guns and plates across all the railings.
What about the tires? One shot at it and it's over?
Tires could handle bullets i think lol theres 7 layers of steell 3 inchea of rubber at aomething insane like 500 psi i think
You beat me to it, was thinking the exact same thing.
We all were.
you didn't lose it, Joe Biden Stole it from you. Never forget the illegitimate regime.
Trudeau for him. Same diff
Fuck Trudeau
Its easy for me to say hold your ground as I am just an unvaxxed stay at home mom. It's a noble cause and I wish you the best. Surely to work there you have a set of skills that can get you a job elsewhere. Good luck.
Did you try a religious exemption? They must allow that by law, and if they deny it, you potentially have a lawsuit if you play your cards right.
Canadian courts have alreadt ruled against this. :(
Its a godless country i tell ya.
In Toronto here, most of the people i know are in your shoes. I don't trust their numbers. Us not submitting to the mandates is why they had to lock us down again. No one is complying and things are falling apart because of it
I always assume everyone here is from the U.S. It amazes me how much recognition PDW has around the world.
Best of luck. You'll find a way to live a decent life vax-free.
Canada is basically the forgotten state. Americans tend to forget about Canada a lot easier than Canadians could ever forget about America, and most Canadians know far more about what's happening in the US than they do of their own country or government.
The entire Canadian identity is "At least we're not those stupid/rude/arrogant Americans with their fake and corrupt two party system!"
As an American living in Canada I like to inform them that American's frequently forget Canada exists. And they aren't exactly living the high life with five flavors of communism up here.
Drives giant dump truck all by himself.
Nobody within 20 yards.
Management: REeEEEEeEeeeEE! Get jabbed you bigot!
Every non tranny boys dream job too.
My son has always gravitated toward heavy machinery, garbage trucks, construction equipment etc. since he was 1. Totally a normal super straight pureblooded guy dream to have one of those jobs.
Best wishes man but it should be a short leave. That truck hauls $400,000 of revenue each trip if there is a competent shovel operator. They’re not going to let it not run… and there’s no labour available to fill your position. You may need to relocate but apply at other mines, there’s likely a company that would take you on.
I am applying for a different job, second interview is coming this week. However, they negotiated with their union about the vaccine. The job I am applying for is "grandfathered", but they are now trying to renegotiate the vax agreement. I will still plow forward, but am not sure what is going to happen. Not getting the shot. Hoping the SOCTUS tosses the mandate, but not counting on them, anymore.
From painful endings come new beginning. Trust in god!
I’m in the same boat here soon. SCOTUS needs to make a decision today fucking bastards
come to usa, drive heavy truck (cdl, otr, semi, haulers, mixers, etc)
i guarantee it will work
cant have a man sitting by himself in a cab all day infecting others.......
i think OP is Canadian so our SC is irrelevant
Yup canadian
Sneak across the border into the US! Illegals are exempt the vax mandate. 😏
Sorry, eh.
Okay, Canada jokes aside, sorry you’re going through a rough patch friend. In my experience the biggest lessons and gifts in life seem to be preceded by [at the time] seemingly impossible or unfair experiences. Keep your chin up, you’ll get through this.
and that single thread is fraying quickly
Narrated by the most clueless people of current events you could possibly find... 100, 000 kids, 750 million infected. We truly didn't send our best.
We're still stunned at what fell out of the Racist Wise Latina's pie hole yesterday.
Dear Lord!
The bar was never that high, but she really went low AF on that one
Crypto and some stocks, paid off my debts. Im just escaping with with 30 000 moose bucks.
Damn, that's a nice ride. I wonder if you could drive through government buildings with this thing. Killdozer 2.0.
I would be interested to know how many people have the training/skills to operate that thing.
I'm sure they cant call the temp agency and get a replacement.
My nephew has a 6 figure job and refuses the jab. They havent fired him because what he does is so specialized and requires years of training that they cant afford to lose him.
Being able to handle something like that means that you have real skills.
The Demand for your skills is only going to GROW.
Keep the Faith and Pray for a fast resolution. Good luck!
I believe Mike Rowe works with a foundation, albeit in the US, that specifically helps people find job openings like this one.
Looks like you work in cramped quarters with hundreds of people! Good thing thing they’re imposing a mandate on you, to protect all those people around you every day!
But in all seriousness, so sorry pede. Praying you’ll have peace and find something better! And hopefully get compensated one of these days for unlawful termination upon refusal of a medical procedure.
You can't do that job if you're dead from the shot. And you can't do it for long if you get side effects that radically change your now much shortened life. They are making you pay a price, so pay it and move on. My son is getting thrown out of the Marine Corps over this shot, many people are losing a lot. The tide will turn.
Also remember, knowing how to safely drive one of those monsters is a unique skill set, others will want it.
I think down the road there will be some major lawsuits to make people whole from these firings/discharges. The Supreme Court just needs to do the right thing
Looks like that truck could do some serious damage to the control shack...and main office...and all those fancy-ass management cars out in the parking lot...
That the letter they give you tell you specifically that they fire you for not pricking you, and you demand them.
I will add you in my prayers. Godspeed fren.
Opsss! I don’t know why it rolled off the cliff sir! I put a rock in front of the tire🤣🤣🤣
With machinery that size you could become Tank Man 2.

Fuck 'em
Never quit make them fire you. If they demand you sign something demand they cover the cost of you paying a lawyer to review it aka don’t sign anything.
I wonder what it would take to turn that into a killdozer?
There are some surface mines in east Texas that could use your experience.
Hate them for it
It's not legal to fire you over not taking a experimental vaccine.
Everything always works out for those who want it to.
If you desire to be successful, you will. If you desire to be comfortable, you will. If you give up and dwell in self pity, that is when the weight of the world comes down on individuals.
That rig would look real nice parked in the CDC parking garage
