Karma was served so fast to the Washington state trooper. He was Profane, mean spirited, entitled and now dead.
I continue to believe that employees who quit because of the vaccine mandates might not have been the best of the best.
Statistically unless the institution rolls it out in an awful way, the percentage who quit are small. Maybe 1percent. And goodness, it appears to be separating the wheat from the chaff and the antics eta are all
Chaff.

How much did we end up paying for this nonsense? All would likely have been prevented with a free shot, that only costs the govt about $20.
Probably millions. It cost $55k to fly my BIL from Gainesville to Fairfax Inova. Not COVID related. I agree that the news should do a few stories about what the typical hospital bill is for these people spending weeks on a ventilator. If their insurance pays it will result in higher premiums for all of us.
