Minneapolis Fed requiring COVID-19 vaccinations by next month

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.”

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

It makes me squirm when someone says
‘I could care less’
when they mean is
‘I couldn’t care less.’

I have to say-reading your responses to my initial post at #9 has given me a bit of comfort here.

You don’t hear people outside of forums like this referring very often to the use of words, phrases, and symbols by Leftists to advance their goals.

Sure, we all know how they hijack language, by taking words and symbols, appropriating them, and funneling behavior of people to advance and metastasize their filthy ideological goals into a largely unsuspecting society.

Words like liberal, gay, diversity and such, are used with purpose, then eventually their meaning is bastardized until nobody can use the word in its original context. Sometimes, as happened with “liberal”, it had a completely different meaning 180 degrees from what it came to mean.

But then, when the word “liberal” in its new meaning came to acquire a disreputable bad smell, they discarded the word, and began to adopt “progressive”.

And they do this constantly. I personally cannot even utter the word “diversity” in its original useful meaning without feeling a pang or irritation.

That was why, reading your posts, I realized I am not alone in this.

I was talking to a group of people recently, and said I needed to circle back on some issue we had not resolved, and someone said “Hey, you sound like Psaki there!”

I nearly spit with irritation. This was a phrase that could be used, had been used, and now, it is owned (if even poorly owned) by those filthy Leftist douchebags.

And I realized I could never utter it again.
