Bart -- I hear ya. But the problem is that nothing seems to get through to these people.Nothing like trying to convince people to do something by calling them names. Works all the time.
This is the part that's so maddening: who the F does everyone think passed vaccine mandates in all 50 States to attend K-12, as well as State Universities?ggait wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 5:12 pm Which, by the way, is the exact same way we've done it for decades with measles, polio, etc. We didn't pander to or coddle the deplorables on those. If we had, those diseases would still be scourging around. Instead we told folks to take their shots or stay home. Same should apply here.
So how many boosters were you required to prove before you were allowed to enroll at UF?Ooooops. Looks like the booster is the next Democratic mandate.
sounds frustrating. don't mean to be assuming anything.ggait wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 5:12 pmBart -- I hear ya. But the problem is that nothing seems to get through to these people.Nothing like trying to convince people to do something by calling them names. Works all the time.
You can explain things to them patiently, and they won't take the shot. You can call them names, and they won't take the shot. You can give them carrots (scholarships, lottery tickets, Walmart gift cards) and they won't take the shot.
So the only thing left is to give them sticks. Airplane trip -- not without a vaccine. Indoor sporting event or concert -- not without a shot. Enter the workplace -- not without a shot. Want your kid to enter the school -- not without a shot.

this, by many, has been easily prognosticated.
- rise of social media
-distrust of institutions
-some special circumstances
not frustrating as a result of that alone. expected.

I understand what you are saying. I will agree with you 100% on one thing....they wont take the shot. We have two sides who are so dug in that neither will budge. This will have consequences for everyone. I see it every day with my wife and her work in the hospital. The CEO is pulling his hair out....patient care is suffering and will continue to erode. When the religious exemption ends my wife will loose and additional three staff in her department. This will 100% have an impact on patient care and all at a time when COVID cases are on the rise.ggait wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 5:12 pmBart -- I hear ya.

Nope. We've had free speech for a long time, Pete. That ain't it.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 6:18 pmThe ‘distrust of institutions’ is earned precisely because free speech has allowed people to finally see just how dishonest and inept so many institutions and their leaders have been. Bureaucracies ate the absolute dumbest institutions with zero accountability…trust them at your peril.
How many more times do I need to point to the University of Florida, Pete? You were educated by bureaucrats in a bureaucracy with 15,000 State employees. And from which State? There's a reason we have a "Florida Man..." meme, and it's not because your State is filled with smart people.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 6:18 pm Most bureaucrats simply aren’t that bright, and if they are, they’re unmotivated except to gain power over others.

Yeah, I get the same exact answer from everyone who attended a State University, but swears the Government can't do anything right.
Not possible, Pete. You keep telling me that private industry always does everything better than the government. That your UFlorida professors and staff have no motivation for excellence.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 8:03 pm
UF is such a great school, our president left Cornell to come here!
