Lol. Got itIllegal is in the eye of the beholder. Good to know for future law discussion.
Defying a Supreme Court ruling sounds illegal to me. What's the punishment for that?
To do this without also giving help to landlords, especially smaller operators, is bad form IMHO.They also have bills to pay, families to provide for, kids to put through college, aging parents to care for, etc.
But there is a silver lining to this. Small operators, and small investors will go bankrupt, have to sell the properties. They can then be scooped up by Wall Street investors, who will outbid single families who want to own their own home with cash offers. That way Wall Street will now control the single-family home rental market.That will assuredly lead to lower rents, and better treatment of renters across the board...right?
Look at what has happened in Toronto for a glimpse into the future of the housing/renter market.
Ya. Foreign and corporate investors pricing just about everyone out of market.The financialization/commodification of human needs (shelter, healthcare, etc) in areas of inelastic demand is ruining our country
My firm of about 200 employees issued a vaccination mandate today. Get the vax or get the axe by November 1. We are currently at about 75%. I fear we will lose some quality employees. Medical excuse accepted if from a MD that one is currently treating with. No nurse practitioner or chiropractic issued exceptions allowed.
None of this will be required, several companies are now requiring the vaccine for employment. No religious exemptions. Within a few months, this will be far more widespread.i.e. - a passport will not be needed. All Americans that work will be vaccinated. Encourage your "vax hesitant" friends to get it now before they die, and in a few months everyone will have it regardless.
Yup. I got some anti-vax flack for this in the "ability to attend games" thread, but basically within a few months if you want to work, you will have to be vaccinated.On the "lose quality employees" fear, I've actually seen only the problem employees actually protest. Good riddance to them. Lots of vax hesitant coming around (some opting for the ease of J&J), including minorities once they find out 90% of their coworkers have already gotten the jab.
But it’s complicated.
But it’s complicated. One employee has one kidney. No physician will give this person an exemption, but the fear of a complication from a vaccine, while perhaps unfounded, is very real. This is a decision that messes with financial well being for good employees. I voted yes, but am worried about replacing really quality people.
Not sure what type of work you do, but that’s a ridiculous policy if a good percentage of employees were able to work from home during the pandemic and they implemented the vaccine mandate along with a return to office plan. Corporate cringe.
Why exactly should remote employees be exempt from ANY corporate policy?
HR Rep1 - Sir, not only do you have pornography on your laptop but your random drug test came back positive for heroin and cocaine. Any one of these is grounds for immediate dismissal. Employee - (leans back, puts feet on table) I work remotely.HR Rep 2 - Dammit Bob, I told you to check that! Sorry for wasting your time sir.
So we’ve reached the point where people want to lock themselves away from their co-workers in fear of a vaccine?This has been a fascinating year+
