Massive Protest Against Vaccine Mandate By NYC Police & Firefighters

[squatting dog]

You wouldn't be owned or be the "slave". Your business wouldn't necessarily mean that you employ people.

Sometimes owning your own business can be just as bad. Red tape galore don't you know. Heck, After I retired, I ran 2 business's. One, ended up to be a large headache because of the need to have employee's. (ever try finding someone qualified, honest, and willing to work? a near impossibility). the second one was when the mayor of our small city asked me to run a wrecker for them as the nearest large wrecker service was some 40 miles away and our city was on a major state highway and couldn't afford to be blocked and shut down for any length of time. So, I went into the wrecker business. First came the expense of the truck, then came the wrecker business license, $$$, then came the whopper... Insurance. $$$$ Had to carry a major liability insurance for the truck, separate insurance for whatever was on the hook, (or wheel lift), a policy for the impound-storage yard, (plus the mandatory 6" triple barb wire fence around it), and then, another policy (had to be bonded for this one) for the separate building to store and hold drug seizure vehicles in. Here's a good one, If I kept watch dogs in the yard and building, the insurance rates went up, because, are you ready for this, the chance of a criminal suing you increase's when dogs are involved.
So, Lot's of red tape, criminal background check, and plenty of govt. intervention and $$$$'s involved in what seemed like a fairly simple task Ehhh?

Strange that the percent of immigrants succeeding hasn't deterred them. From my #97.

You were asked not forced to run the wrecker business. I can appreciate that red tape is a factor but if a person feels that they are slaves then the only option IMO is to be a business owner.

I have never owned a business but never felt I was a slave. The reason -- I applied for the job opening and accepted the conditions within. I moved on to higher better paying jobs & always left with knowing that I could ask for & receive a good recommendation. I feel sorry for people that have no way to change their situation.

There are a few employees in my area that protested again company Mandates and won. One large company lifted the Mandate. There may be more to follow.

Don't mis-understand me, I retired from a great job. (high paying and more importantly, I loved it). I was just showing that something as mundane as a wrecker business can lead to all kinds of pitfalls.
Another thing often overlooked when discussing Immigrant business owners is a lot of the time it involves the entire family and no outside employees. That makes it 100% easier to operate.

Very true. Not only that, relatives come in on tourist visas and go home for awhile and come back to work. Plenty of convenience stores in particular have this system.

Non, I would like to get him on my boat, throw him overboard and watch the frail little thing do a belly flap (bet he can’t swim), before feeding him to the sharks who won’t want him anyway

I think you mean "Belly Flop."

You think that the current vaccines will protect the new variants that are on the horizon? Will there be another vaccine in the future for the new variants. I'm asking because I am a bit confused?

the doctors are saying that we have to wait to see if the vaccines are effective with the omicron variant. it may take 2 weeks to find out .pfizer states that they are working on a vaccine for omicron.
