QOTD -- Goodbye

 

"This is for those of you who’ve chosen to quit your jobs rather than submit to a vaccine mandate.

"No telling how many of you there actually are, but lately, you’re all over the news. Just last week, a nearly-30-year veteran of the San Jose Police Department surrendered his badge rather than comply with the city’s requirement that all employees be inoculated against COVID-19. He joins an Army lieutenant colonel, some airline employees, a Major League Baseball executive, the choral director of the San Francisco Symphony, workers at the tax collector’s office in Orange County, Florida, and, incredibly, dozens of healthcare professionals. 

"Well, on behalf of the rest of us, the ones who miss concerts, restaurants and other people’s faces, the ones who are sick and tired of living in pandemic times, here’s a word of response to you quitters: Goodbye." -- the always- readable Leonard Pitts, Jr., in the Miami Herald, precisely expressing our thoughts and the thoughts of millions upon millions of Americans.  (See also this piece of satire from yesterday.)
