The Political Satire/Meme Thread

Should businesses be prohibited from setting standards for employment and/or be forced to employ people who haven't met standards that they have set?

Those women are wearing scrubs. One presumes they work in healthcare services in some capacity and they weren't actually hired off of the street. One presumes those women are expected to have undergone training in their chosen field--possibly even meet licensing standards--in order to gain employment in said field. Is that wrong?

No, I know, you think vaccination is different.

You probably support affirmative action as well.

I have no idea what that is.

Just googled it. No. I think everyone deserves to be treated the same.

Skilled jobs to the qualified and unqualified alike.

I'm still curious why you think employers shouldn't deny employment for those who don't meet requirements the employer has set.

And "year's." Fortunately, proper English isn't crucial for bussing tables.

I wouldn't mind knowing what ward these nurses work in and how many Covid patients they see. Find it hard to believe one can work a year through seeing what Covid does up close and personal, and still think a vaccine preventing that interaction isn't worth it.

Reddit admins should go ahead and just pull the plug on NoNewNormal now that it's in quarantine. Lot of disgusting folks in there who go beyond just being anti-vaxx.

The "Please follow the rules" notice is also kinda ironic.

How to tell someone has never read up on science the same way they've never read the Constitution.

Why's it ok for them after a reinstated mask mandate? Oh yeah NBA=much money. What you about Obumas party the other day? The video of AOC asking everyone to put their mask on for a photo shoot while laughing and talking to them 2 minutes earlier...
Hypocrisy at its finest.

I appreciate what I think you're getting at, but I don't believe the science here is necessarily questionable.

I suspect it's something their employers have required them to do and that the rationale is that the mask is a particular burden while they're exerting themselves on the court, not necessarily having to do with respiration but quite possibly a not sufficiently secured physical barrier that can either shift down and be no more effective than not wearing a mask at all or ride up and affect vision while also no longer being effective. Of course any restriction of airflow there may be during exertion is unlikely to be an issue on the sidelines, but masks are also likely to be more secure while they're not exerting themselves.

They've obviously accepted that masks are required on the sidelines because remaining employed as they are is not a protected right and failure to comply is likely to result in termination.

I realize you can't be a legitimate anti-masker, anti-vaxxer and/or COVID-denier if you're capable of rational thought, but it does get pretty ****ing pathetic at times.

(I've deliberately not factored in the NBA "bubble" because I know exactly nothing about it or any supposed efficacy that didn't come from a single Saturday Night Live sketch.)

The NBA can heavily regulate the players, including requiring vaccination and testing. Fans are harder to regulate. How hard is this to think about? Even if it made no difference, just showing the players wearing masks on the sidelines is more responsible than not. They're allowed to control their image are they not?

Is the NBA not free to set their own mask rules?

We aren't.

Money talks I guess.

We aren't.

You are. On your own court. With your own players.

What does that have to do with anything? Players are opting out. Catch up on ESPN a little.

Also what about that public gathering thing?

Ok... not sure how this is responsive to me..

...and that either...
