I've spoken to corporate folks about the vaccine. There us a serious concern that Moderna et al could become what immolates already skittish corporate cultures that are returning to work. Few corporations are mandating the vaccine but there is concern that employees may discriminate against fellow colleagues, e.g. not inviting John or Mary out for drinks or lunch because they are vaxxed or masked etc.
Everyone has a story. I know of people whose parents live with them and compromised so they come to work in N95s...they are not Karens about it. Will THEY be discriminated against? Will the group of vaxxed coworkers start asking the unvaxxed "why?" (as if it's any of their business anyway)?
One smarmy FReeper intimated that the picture was wrong because vaccinations are a choice and race isn't. Well, duh, no kidding...but the underlying form of collectivism - the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage - seems to be quickly accruing to vaccine status. That is the point of the pic, in case subtlety is not your thing..maybe the Scarlet A is more your style.
To be fair, the vaxx collectivism seems to be largely a one-way street in the real world where the vaccinated look down upon and discriminate against the unvaccinated. On FR, well, it flows both ways...but it's always a demolition derby of opinion in the land of freedom. Caveat emptor.
I shared the link in a number of business discussion forums when they were saying flag racist businesses, cut off racist businesses. I said, don’t you realize you’ll ruin people who lie? I was told that won’t happen. THen I shared the BLM link to prove it already was.
Perceived injustice.
And it's a problem on both sides of the aisle.
It's hard to say when it started (probably with the apple...) but it starts when one group sees an "injustice" such as the Red Hen server verbally lashing out at Sarah Huckabee Sanders. They "get away with it." Then some Arbiter of Justice decides that wrong must be righted.
Now, personally, I think the Red Hen and their employee are detestable. My "protest" would be to never solicit that dump and I'd promulgate negative word-of-mouth advertising - yes, they can discriminate but I don't have to like their discrimination. I'd never issue a 1-star review because I never ate there. But that's me.
The Arbiters decided that the restaurant should get blasted with bad reviews. And blast they did, and we all had a great laugh...and now, that dump is a thriving Leftist Eatery of Choice, likely never to go out of business. Oops.
The bar in the article made a conscious decision to Separate the vaxxed and unvaxxed - it's not a law in NY - and to put the QR code on their big, honkin sign. They didn't NEED to do that, but some Karen-like motivation compelled them to put a virtual Scarlet A on the unvaxxed.
Zillions of people, who've seen lockdowns, stolen elections, and elder abuse/deaths by Governor mandate with NO consequences, are like caged animals ready to go Bronson. Someone posted the pic of the bar's sign on Instagram (fun fact: the poster thought the virtual Scarlet A was a GREAT idea...oops) and the caged went Bronson via Yelp.
Do I understand it? Of course. Do I smile? Uh huh. Do I think the bar is owned by leftist dope? Sure...anyone who fails to see the similarity between a National Socialist and communist clearly voted for Bidet. Would I ever do this? Ah, no. Do I wish we could be more civilized? Hellyeah, but I fear we crossed that rubicon a while ago.
Well it’s a rude sign. You reap what you sow.
May your chains set lightly upon you.
Even with a plausible explanation...it still does not make sense to me.
It looks only like a 12 year old girl emoting.
Good for me, but not for thee, seems to be the message of this article. Shunning the shunners is not acceptable.
if you go Beyond what the law mandates, it's on you...
From what I can tell, NYC is a hot mess. Glad I don’t live there. Ditto for Chicago...
I read the first four books in that anthology (out of a total of 6). Then I drifted off to something else. That’s what I get for being a teenager at the time.
Good books, though.
Agreed. Yelp has also engaged in some highly questionable business practices.
More like Alinsky’s “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
