It most certainly is political.
It’s common to talk of indoctrination happening at universities, where do the indoctrinated go once they graduate? They get hired.
The indocrinated politicize everything. Everything is political. Norwegian’s CEO Frank J. Del Rio was indoctrinated for four years according to his bio. It’s standard practice in most businesses that you cannot get hired (past low-level jobs) unless you have been indoctrinated in some university. Go take a look at jobs.coca-colacompany.com and marvel at how every last career posting requires it. You can’t get away from the indoctrination if you want to get hired.
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution” - David Horowitz quoting SDS literature.
As for losing their business? What’s more important to you? Dying on the hill of your liberty or dying on the hill of the economy? Progressives are forcing us to pick one. I’d rather be free than be rich, personally.
I understand your post. My point is that unlike Coke and Delta Airlines, which will be fine either way, if I were running a cruise line, I would probably want everyone vaccinated, regardless of politics.
Look at it this way - if one airline decided that TSA was a bunch of a-holes and said that they were sure that their passengers would NEVER attempt to hijack and therefore no screening was required, would most of their potential customers be more likely or less likely to fly on them? Perhaps more at the outset, but after a couple of planes go down, would that still be the case.
That’s what cruise lines are dealing with.
