NYC mayor-elect wants to 'revisit' vaccine mandate

New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams says he wants to "revisit" the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for city workers, which has drawn resistance from some unions.

"We need to revisit how we're going to address the vaccine mandates," Adams said on MSNBC on Wednesday.

While saying he did not want to "Monday morning quarterback" current Mayor Bill de Blasio, who put the mandate for city workers into effect, Adams said, "what I'm going to encourage him to do is to sit down with the unions."

“Work it out how??? Do it or don’t”

I think “work it out,” “reach out to,” and other complicated and wordy phrases are a style of speaking akin to “by your leave,” “your servant, sir,” and other styles of centuries past. In writing they would be similar to the randomly placed elongated “s’s” you see decorating documents of the eighteenth century.

Direct speech has fallen out of favor because to a liberal it sounds crass and commanding. They are SO much more enlightened than that.

He's trying to save face and get a re-do without saying he's a stupid doofus who should have never attempted such a thing. He also will have to deal with the patsies who capitulated early and took the shot against their own best judgement.

I'll take obfuscation with the right result over doubling-down and inflicting more pain. This is the language of suing for peace.

“I’ll take obfuscation with the right result...”

Same ploy as Southwestern management and others. Make sympathetic noises and do nothing. In this case, a bank shot where the conversation changes from mandate to union negotiations. Now the media can write stories about the new mayor’s union dealings rather than that nasty thing going on with the workers. See? He’s doing something. And with enough time, the problem solves itself. Or it doesn’t. But who cares, I’m just a politician.

Ignore the little people and their anguish, and in a few months you can make a speech about how we all pulled through this together.
