Covid-19

I can't speak for your part of the country, chik-fil-A absolutely pays it's workers more than those other locations.

A Wendy's shift manager out here earns 13.50-15.00 a hour; the cashiers at chik-fil-a start at 13.50, cooks start at 15.00. I believe the managers start at around 18-20 right now.

One difference between the two (and other fast food chains) is that chik-fil-a invests in its entry level workers. People who actually get more than a "thrown in the frying pan" type training, and are paid for it.
The other difference is that Chik-fil-A is willing to spend the money to ensure quality. They don't "need" 10 staff to run that last hour of service, but they'll bite the bullet on cost because that's the standard the franchise demands.

IDK if you've ever been to a Culvers or an In-N-Out, but it's the same thing with staff there; they are compensated well and not treated like shit by management
Concur on Culver's! Not quite Chick-fil-A level but very close. We don't have In-N-Out up here.
 
Funny...I haven't seen an alarmist news story or begging/ pleading/ threatening news conference about Covid in... a long time. It is almost like it doesn't exist.

The lemmings have been redirected toward abortion and the Jan 6th committee, following detours into gun control and Pride month. Ukraine and Covid are on the back burners but can be resurrected at need.
 
The graduation ceremony for my oldest was held on post. Open to the public, but everyone had to have proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 3 days. Not a big deal to me since the Army required me to get a vaccination (which didn't stop me from getting COVID) right when they started becoming available. But it was an onerous requirement for family members of mine who are not vaccinated, or who got the jabs but aren't habituated to living in "show me your papers" states.

So my unvaccinated family members got the test, and I dug out my COVID vaccination card.

..then, .no COVID checks at graduation. As it should be; my vaccination status is none of your business. But why then make everyone go through the rigmarole of getting vaccinated or tested (or not coming)?

More "security theater." :thumbsdown:
 
Anecdotally, more people where I am are becoming infected now than they were at the height of the pandemic.

Same here. It's endemic, its here to stay. The folks that thought they were being safe are getting hit and wondering why. I love it. Lol. Yep. All that time, us "conspiracy nuts, plague rats" were being treated like second class citizens because we refused to mask or get the jab, both I had to for work are now told, "please, be nice to those that still mask, each person has to make a decision".

Wait, before, if we did not jab up or wear a face diaper, we were not patriotic and did not care for others, now, to each their own?

Na, I'm a fucking prick, I shame the lemmings. Fuck em. Bring the dislike and hate, it's all nonsense. Folks like us said so, we were laughed at. I'm over the lies and I'm over the virtue signaling ilks that buy into it.

Of course they aren't checking. I bet the requirements actually changed and they willfully chose not to update the website.
 
Given where I work, I have seen more than my fair share. But there was a lull for a good while, but it's resurging. Not bad, 'bad cold' and all, but definitely back.

The amount of folks calling 911/us for an ER visit is dumb. All nonsense, minor complaints. You would think by now, common sense would kick in. No, folks are needy, self absorbed with a sore throat or sneeze, demanding 911 to ER visit.

Then, they nag and bitch when I give phone report to triage RN, I tell the RN, "triage appropriate", 10 hour wait.

Then the person bitches for the wait when we are bringing in a level 1 trauma or STEMI, "wait, I'm next!".

Um, no.
 
Everyone (except me) is coming down with the 'rona here. I have the golden "get out of endless jab" pass due to my rare clotting issue in addition to the odd happenstance that my particular division was exempt from the mandates. Literally everyone around me has been boosted upteen times and yet here we are. I'm the one that has never been ill (thank God) nor have I ever tested positive. It sort of seems the more boosters on board the more those folks are getting Covid over and over again.

I have the first 2 Phizer jabs, got the plague second time this past Jan, it was a cold, refused jabs through Township I work, since I just had rona, I was exempt, seems, they don't give a fuck now, since, the Township Manager's are blowing the dick of gay pride month and Juneteenth, the plague has died off except for the emails conveying that, if you're sick, stay home, no fucking shit.

As I said before, OG plague, shots, transformer plague, all the time with masks, careful, still got sick. I refuse boosters, I refuse masks, I'll do me. It's virtue signaling. It's political theater.
 
Speaking of fear mongering, pushing another "booster" before the fall. At risk group's, elderly and immune compromised are already up to 4 and 5 doses. I think they are start 6 shortly. I had 3, mixed between Moderna and AstraZeneca; still got the Rona sniffles. Recovery from the shots was worse. Unless they start using the same methodology of flu shots and push it out to a year, with greater effectiveness. I'm not taking another shot. Explains why they are already changing the definition of fully vaccinated, to "up to date"; instead of a specific number of doses.

My daughter had to receive the vaccine in order to return to in-person middle school. She is quite athletic and, of course, young. She's a dancer. She got selected for a special summer dance intensive in NY. After we paid and registered, we were informed that she has to be boosted to attend.

Why?

The shots don't keep people from getting sick. She is literally in the lowest risk category (young, fit, healthy). Each time she gets jabbed, she runs the risk of a negative side effect. Now she's faced with the dilemma of taking a vaccine of unknown efficacy, or not going to this thing she's trained for all year.

Remember when our lord and savior Fauci said, vaccines would prevent illness? Masks would prevent illness?

Then, they doubled down. Yeah, "science".
Prepridge Farms remembers.

Crock of shit, as you know, sir.

I don't remember that, because it seems to have never been said.

Talking heads on CNN and MSNBC said that, white house staff said that, but every official statement from a medical professional I ever heard or aw was always in terms of "can help" or "may prevent serious" or "highly effective".

Maybe you can find a clip or statement and enlighten me; perhaps I missed it.
