Yeah, and not just among the police.Looks like some are trying to spin this as culture war stuff, but it seems to be “bad pay and inadequate staffing,” which are good reasons to quit a job. https://t.co/pqyFvIiClA

A Dunkin' branch in Colorado Springs is temporarily closing its doors because it is struggling to find workers amid the labor shortage.The Colorado Springs Gazette reported. Alex Apodaca, chief operating officer at JB Partners, an Arizona-based franchisee that manages seven Dunkin' stores in the area, told the outlet: "We just can't get people to work."The west-side Colorado Avenue branch has been operating for 55 years. The store would usually have 15 employees on its rota. But that fell to three just before the store closed, Apodaca said. "We're in a major labor crisis and that is the 100% reason why we're closed," he added. "No other reason."Dunkin', which underwent a rebranding in 2018 that changed the store's name from Dunkin' Donuts, is not alone in its struggle, however. Other businesses in the US are still grappling with a labor shortage, months after their states cut enhanced jobless benefits.
Seems not everyone is anxious to go back to their shit jobs, and it’s not because of “government handouts.” So what now? And by the way, all that “damage” Biden is doing to the economy with his “tyranny” over vaccines? Yeah, not so much. Not even a civil disobedience movement (which would, you know, cost people their jobs; not their liberty. Aye, there’s the rub.)
we require people to do tons of things to participate in society, and the overwhelming majority of people comply even if they do so unhappily and with much complaininghttps://t.co/GiYNRiC2hD

NEW: Two weeks ago, Delta announced a $200 monthly surcharge for unvaccinated employees. In that short time, 20% of unvaccinated employees - 4,000 people - got the vaccine.

And the number of employees who quit? Zero.
I doubt even this Supreme Court would want to risk getting the blame for a fifth wave or the generation of a more serious break-through variant, but that's assuming the sci-illiterates on the court could understand they ran that risk, which I wouldn't bet on.
ReplyDeleteIf things got as seriously bad as that, everything would be up in the air, including, I'll bet, finally having the other two branches of the government putting the government by court thing back in the bottle. If a fifty year old precedent can be killed with no hearing, no vote, no signed decision of a five-four majority, there's no reason Marbury v Madison has to stand. Which would be dangerous but everything the court has been doing is pretty dangerous, lots of it exactly what might be feared if that extra-Constitutional decision were over-run by the other two branches.
