Pretty sure i have covid; this isn't bad at all. More of an inconvenience really.

@Teslin You mean like if @Eternity goes out and infects somebody else and that other person ends up in the hospital? Yeah, that would be a terrible thing. As bad as drunk driving.

@Teslin @ElwoodBlues if I could get paid to stay home i sure would.

Since I cannot, to work I go. Sorry. This is the kind of nation we live in where the strong survive and the weak perish.

@Eternity So you won't object when someone treats you unjustly? You'll just accept the 'law of the jungle' and move on? You're content to make a few bucks for a few days while your actions might put people in the hospital for a week at $2000 per day?

My father, may he rest in peace, served in WWII and risked his healthy young life so his fellow Americans could live better lives. Your kind of selfishness is most of what's wrong with America today.

@ElwoodBlues good for you and good for your dad.

I do what I must. Simple as that.

Pay my bills and I'll stay home. Deal?

@Eternity And you call that taking responsibility for yourself? SAD!!!

@ElwoodBlues LMAO!

okay so we aren't going to mention how you just swapped over from altruism to each for his own in an instant?

That right there hits the nail on the head lmao. Everyone wants to talk about what's right and what's wrong until someone is asking [i]them[/i] for something.

I think it best that you do you and I do me lol. At least I'm upfront about being self serving unlike you.

@Eternity Actually, both altruism and responsibility lead to the same endpoint here - you do what's necessary to avoid infecting others. Thus you are being both selfish and irresponsible. And you know it. And you don't care. SAD!!

@Eternity Well, If your employer allows you to go to work sick, they are as bad as you. You are putting your co-workers at risk of getting sick and if any of them have compromised immune systems, possibly dying !! WTF !!

@Teslin I didn't make the rules 🤷🏽‍♂️. The federal government doesn't think that your lives are valuable enough for paid sick leave to be the law of the land. Tough. I'm not setting myself back 2 weeks wages end of story.

@Eternity That's not a federal issue. It's your pro-business state government.

@ElwoodBlues I will not make sacrifices that those that would proclaim themselves my leaders do not also make.

And I will not consider the opinions of those that have not walked in my shoes.

You aren't willing to forward me 1500 dollars are you? No? Then don't worry about what I do buddy because evidently you don't care as much as you like to act like you do.
