So Governor Inslee like other democratic governors engaged in a major purge of state agencies over the so called “vaccine” and especially hard hit was the state Department of Transportation. The DOT, facing chronic understaffing for years, implements this mandate and has to purge about 200 workers. This happens before a major snow storm and now the mountain passes are closed again because the crews don’t have enough staffing to keep the passes plowed.

The observation is simple, the left places ideology above effective administration. But talk about something we didn’t know.

Somebody needs to go back to science class and learn about avalanche danger.

It's a blog and the guy interviewed is one of those that 'chose' to quit instead of getting vaxxed. Bitter much? :rolleyes: There is no govt job stats or data provided. Source that there's a shortage in police patrols as he stated.

Btw, even if what you're claiming was true, it's worth it. A little delay in goods delivery...nobody's going hungry.

And if they were understaffed for years then it's about more than dumb people walking away from good jobs.

Some of us are playing the long game, rather than looking for instant gratification. What's better for society? Responsible people in jobs and a vaccinated population.

The expert public servant who I’m sure has worked at some road department somewhere in Washington, probably the same city where the expert either was or was not a park ranger, has spoken

That doesnt make any sense, but that's not surprising. I see you chose to attack the person instead of the post...why is that? 😁

You're not even in Seattle. You have no idea what's going on here. I have a FWD car and have been able to go wherever I want, whenever I want.

Thanks Gov Inslee for keeping the streets of Seattle plowed and purging the unpatriotic, ignorant ****s from your team.

The COVID vaccine has been shown to reduce transmission rates by up to 4x. So vaccine mandates in the workplace are a good example of "effective administration", not ideology. Personally, I blame the paranoid and selfish fools who would rather be unemployed than vaccinated. Antivaxxers are the primary reason why this stupid thing isn't over with yet, and why vaccine mandates like these are becoming more and more necessary in the first place.

Yeah but there’s a vaccine so if anyone is concerned they can get the vaccine and then the transmission rate is irrelevant. And since the virus issues are totally irrelevant then now we have to focus on the issues affecting safe travel over the mountains.
 
If you lose your job because you refuse to get vaccinated you're a supreme dumbass, putting politics and ideology above common sense.

You don't get to gaslight the rest of us and pull the "look what you made me do" card.

Why does his name have Seattle in it then? I am confused. LOL

Don't you want the best and brightest working for your state government? Anti-vaxxers are not among the best and the brightest. Moreover, when you consider that a vaccine costs the state 18 dollars a dose and a COVID hospitalization costs an average of $73,000, any employer would be a fool to assume to risk of insuring unvaccinated workers.

One where he can ignore reality and pretend not to understand (or maybe truly is not capable of understanding 🤷) that the vaccines cannot stop all infections, just help reduce them while minimizing sickness and death, and so the more we reduce infections, the more we reduce viral replication and the chances of more variants.

Or just the basic fact that once we're recording fewer infections, period, the faster we'll be able to end lockdowns, SD measures, masking, economic road blocks, etc.

Maybe it is too complicated for some 🤷 Both Delta and Omicron originated in areas with low vax rates.

Get the vaccine. I know big needles are scary but maybe the pharmacist will give you a lollipop.

Lol, what a silly pathetic argument. This is what the left is down to saying while they whistle past the graveyard. Man 2022 is going to be hell for them

2022 will probably be bad for Democrats for several reasons, but vaccine mandates are not among them. Every sensible person got vaccinated on their own. The only reason vaccine mandates are even necessary is because of the ~25% of adults with the emotional maturity of children.

If you just get the vaccine then you don't have to waste time whining or even thinking about vaccine mandates. Not only will the vaccine protect you against COVID, it will also inoculate you against your own vaccine-induced emotional tantrums.

I see more democrats arguing about why Americans deserve a worse quality of life and who will be surprised when they get crushed

Getting vaccinated does not make the quality of your life worse in any way.
