They wanted no pandemic mitigation measures keeping their workers out of work.

They wanted no new workplace safety requirements on their businesses.

They hated pandemic relief, which they saw as a potential return of New Deal Era good government.

If you're still trying to avoid infection by a virus that has caused a pandemic and killed or disabled millions of people, you're not wrong. It should be obvious, but I thought some of you could probably use a reminder of that fact. 👍

Healthy person gets COVID and develops chronic issues.

Later, person gets COVID again.

Person dies.

"Well, they had other health issues."

Yeah, caused by COVID.

Don't let yourself become either of these people.

Them: “we will never comply or participate in your tyranny again!”

Me: “I literally just want masks in healthcare, access to tests, clean air in public spaces and paid time off.”

Them: “Do not comply!”

These are such odd things to oppose. Folks must really love being sick.
