Minneapolis Fed requiring COVID-19 vaccinations by next month — or employees will lose their jobs

Employees at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis have until the end of August to get vaccinated against COVID-19 if they want to keep their job, Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari announced Wednesday.

There will be exceptions for workers with medical conditions or religious beliefs barring the shot, he noted.

But otherwise, this is the new normal — at least at the Minneapolis Fed. “Future hires will be subject to this policy,” Kashkari wrote.

There’s something lost with fully remote work, he said. “Simply put, while we will enjoy more flexibility in where we work going forward, we are not going to be a fully remote institution.”

Couldn’t agree more.

I detest “new normal”.

Having worked for both the Feds and the State, nobody should be working for the Feds or the State, LOL!

I about vomit when I hear "woke" or "wokeness".

A close second is "systemic racism". Puke.

And another one I hate is "intersectionality".

I'd better stop now because I could go on and on and on with this cultural marxism bullish*t.

While the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis is not a governmental agency, it exercises the same powers of regulation and supervision that the FDIC and OCC, which are governmental agencies, exercise. Because the Federal Reserve Banks are not truly private entities as, say, Bank of America or Chase are, there may be more protections for their employees from mandatory vaccines.

I’d claim a medical exemption then. Since I had Covid in March 2020, I’m immune, or so say the medical experts. Good grief, the world has gone nuts!

A couple of phrases I detest are “cis normative” and “existential threat.”

Of all phrases I despise, “the new normal” has a special circle of HELL reserved for it.

Right next to “teachable moment”

...or “lets have a conversation”
