winter_rules Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 22 hours ago, MJO812 said: Breaking: NYC Mayor to announce vaccine mandate for all school staff, without testing alternative. All education dept staff must provide proof of first dose by 9/27. In doing so, NYC joins strictest vaccine mandates for school staff in country. Despite expecting increasingly hardcore liberalism and government mandates out of NYC, this one really shocked me. I wonder if they have replacements set up for those who choose to leave their job. I have to imagine an appreciable percentage will just leave (5-10%?) right at the start of a new school year. But at least there are plenty of applicants for most jobs right now, and teaching is something you can do with no background training or certifications….oh wait. Brilliant move.

Nothing stopping the borer at this point. Good eye though. Most people I know have lived here their whole lives and haven’t noticed yet. Kinda sad. My golf partners commented on this a couple weeks ago while we were waiting on a tee box in Cicero. No idea if the dead trees are all Ash trees but it is noticeable if you take time to notice...

I am excited for you to experience some real winter weather. While the winters lately have left much to be desired in these parts, it will be 100 times better (literally) than Tennessee! I can hardly wait for the cold November followed by Holiday Season Sizzle yet again. Hard to believe that it's Climate Change related (although what isn't ascribed to CC these days?), but it has been common the past several years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a fairly consistent run of warm Falls, a tease of winter, mild winter "thaws" (can't thaw if it hasn't been cold...lol), a chilly Spring, and then a furnace that lasts into September and "cools" to a mild October.

TugHillMatt Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 The incompetence of our current administration is evident when the SCOTUS steps in on several occasions within a short timespan. Trump was a social media embarrassment to our nation...but, come on, Biden is not with it...at all. He can't even speak one coherent sentence. It seriously concerns me that he is so out of it. On an international level, it is a safety issue for our country because he, and now us, are clearly a laughing stock to the world. China and Russia are advancing their moves. I tried watching Biden making his "threats" but just couldn't. Not intimidating at all...and stuttering over his words. Are we just going to play "dumb" and act like our President is leading? Because he's not...and neither is this administration. I really wish we could just clean out our government...BOTH sides...and start fresh...because their corruption and games are destroying us from within. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I agree with. BUT, they've built up quite the layers of protection over the last few decades. I think it will be nearly impossible to vote out the problematic players though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Judicial branch would balance it out. That would clean things up tremendously. That along with government-only sourced campaign dollars with limits would really stabilize things. The Founding Fathers never intended life-long careers for elected officials in the Exec and Leg branches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt8204 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Got my first dose this afternoon. Went with the Pfizer vaccine, as I felt a little better about things once it was fully approved. I feel OK so far. Very efficient process and everyone was helpful and friendly. It was a drive-up program in the parking lot of my doctor's office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
