That's that janitors business to come up with an answer to their problem. Go on government assistance and apply for disability if they must. Funny how we care what happens to workers now, when you've been calling for the shunning of homeless people if they won't get vaccinated. Now you have a heart lol?
When have I ever called for the shunning of homeless people for ANY reason? You’re out of your tiny mind.
Boru
You posted a meme of a homeless person begging for money on the street after they were fired for not taking the vaccine, and your answer to them begging for money was nope.

Just for the record, I looked into the issue of vaccine hesitancy among black people. While there was significant hesitancy early on, it's cooled down significantly in the months since the vaccine was introduced (the paper also measured hesitancy among white people and it barely went down in the same time frame). And why are they still less likely to actually be vaccinated if this is the case? Especially when Biden says that 90% of Americans live within 5 miles of a vaccination center? Well, then, there's other factors at play. For one thing, that doesn't mean much if the center in question doesn't actually have any doses at the moment. And being within a five mile radius doesn't mean much if you don't have a car ([url=https://nationalequityatlas.org/indicators/Car_access#/]Black people are three times less likely to own a vehicle than white people[/url[), and especially if either you live in a city where the public transport is just that shit, or if the center is in a part of town that isn't readily accessible by public transport.
The key to making such a vaccine mandate be more equitable would involve obviating any and all logistical excuses.
Yes, it would be nice to fix the logistical problems, but government first needs to have the will to do such a thing, and at the present moment we have to deal with the reality that we're actually living in. We're helping these black people, many who are already in a bad situation, by firing them all and putting them into an even worse situation? We owe it to black people not to treat them like this. Society has fucked them over enough as it is. Mandates disproportionately affect black people and can drive them into poverty. Your side is ignoring the disproportionate effect the mandates have on black people, and I think that is wrong. This matters. Driving black people further into poverty is fucked up. Taking millions of workers out of the workforce is not going to help the economy, and it was never a good idea. It's nice to see the mandates struck down in the US. The right decision was made.
