how much of an idiot do you have to be to think that vaccine mandates are authoritarian? it's literally a revocation of one side of mutual consent, the epitome of voluntary interactions.
@sneak please elucidate
@black6 there are a lot of "muh freedom" types who are generally antivax antimask etc who think that vaccine mandates are left-authoritarianism.
they're not really mandates, though. it's just a condition of continued association: "you must have done x for me (not you) to continue employing you". it's not mandatory at all, and "mandate" is a misnomer. people are free to remain unvaccinated, at home, away from others.
@sneak for "at will" employees, sure. gets more complicated with employment contracts.
@black6 all employment should default to at will. everything in life should be at will. forcing people to do things they don’t want to do is barbaric
@sneak @black6 indeed. but as you know lawyers can write contracts that make walking away very detrimental to your career. Corporations aren't human. And they aren't humane.
