lmao Florida was no where near a 50% vaccination rate

Florida’s vaccination numbers are so much worse when you look at it by age group. There are so many olds here that are over 75% vaccinated as a group that they make it look much better overall. People 20-40 are like 20-30% at best.

Yeah plus 20-40 are more likely to mix and mingle even when they are unvaccinated.

I can't wait until college ball starts up again since for example for the Gators the stadium can hold 89,000 people.

I'm on a major college campus in florida daily and undergrads are masking at around a 35% rate or so. masking is better in the economics/social sciences building than it is in the business building. i know of at least two phd students who are unvaccinated. one is a young black man that is skeptical of government provided shots (with good reason) but is also spends a lot of time hearing bullshit on tiktok. he at least masks 100% of the time. the other is a white republican trumper who refuses to mask as well.

My previous company was in panic mode when I left because the revamped HR predictions were showing a 50% retention rate among non-management engineering staff by the end of 2022.

Every element of the place was focused on getting by with the bare minimum and having projects fall far short of success then declaring a massive victory and giving out awards to the WFH management.

Bruce Hussein Daddy is still posting with us, they just stopped.

We're up to states now, I think: at 649,680 deaths, the US has blown well past Wyoming (576,851), and recently passed Vermont (643,077)

Next up is Alaska with 733,391, which should be a little less than three months away at 1,000 deaths per day

or the District of Columbia, which is not a state, but with a population of 689,545 is going to be overtaken by COVID deaths in a little over a month

No, Disney is the perfect example of a corp so massive that they can ride out and thrive the pandemic with all their segments. All the parks could lose billions for years and they would be fine, they wouldn't even need to slow down stock buybacks

I'm pretty sure no corp cares about deaths anymore, that was so 2020.

Like I think I'd have difficulty not screaming at an antivaxxer to go gently caress themselves all the way at this point. The millions of preventable casualties is infuriating for me as a health care worker. To be such motherfuckers that want to own the libs or whatever loving bullshit jesus christ people are DYING kids are DYING because you loving knobs want to play games and pretend a loving mask is some political statement.

FUUUUUCK

I’m at this weird point where I hate every individual antivaxxer and wish them intense personal misery, but as a group I’m kind of thinking of them more like a large weather system. It’s like I hate every individual bit of momentum and matter that makes up the hurricane, but we’re looking at a hurricane here, and we should probably be making plans that assume that the hurricane is going to keep existing no matter how many times Joe tweets that it should stop being the thing that it is. It’s the same deal with the liberals, I’ll tell any given person that they’re loving up by hanging out in bars because covid is over, but so many people are doing it that I have to accept that I can’t trust anyone who says they’re being safe.

One dangerous idiot is a problem that can be solved, half of the country being dangerous idiots is a systemic failure so deep and rich that it’s impossible to even fully understand, and all I can really do is play defense. There aren’t solutions for a problem like that, and nobody in power is even hinting that they’re trying to think of a real solution anyway.

I want to make it clear that you are not wrong for feeling the way that you do, I agree with and admire you, you aren’t wrong on any level. I’m just trying to describe the weird spot I’ve landed on mentally and emotionally while watching a nation of rugged individualists who choose what’s best for themselves completely fail as a concept. The entire national mythology we were raised in was based on the idea that we let everybody do their thing and the best ideas will always win out, and this last year and a half put such a huge cherry on the “that doesn’t work” cake that is American history, the cake is no longer detectable.
