I suppose the problem will take care of itself since there won’t be air holes.

Can’t they fire him, then let the police drag his ass out of there?

Heck, I’d offer to bring in supplies to build walls around his workstation. Bonus points for warning him that yelling “For the love of God, Montresor!” would not be as clever as he thinks it is.

If the USSC declares mandates unconstitutional, emboldened, 30% of the country will effectively engage in genuine biological warfare against the other 70% until the country fragments under the weight of its ideological contradictions.

MAGA will eventually weaponize COVID into a variant so deadly that other nations are forced to respond. Because of them, America will be seen as _purposely_ becoming the world’s breeding ground for COVID infections until foreign intervention, including war, gets MAGA to stop.

… just some thoughts about our many-worlded futures.

They are already doing so to the extent that they can, _actively, intentionally, and deliberatrely_. USSC rulings favorable to their cause will only enable them to up their game eversomuch-moreso.

I wonder what Republicans would think if you tried to do that when voting. “Oh, you just have to take my word for it that I’m registered.” 🤯

Something about not wanting to be exposed to his own funk all day. 🤷‍♀️

Corporate even did a multi-month cash giveaway as incentive for people to get vaccinated; no idea on whether or not it worked. Of course, corporate does accept religious-based exemptions, so there could have potentially been non-vaccinated people in the giveaway pool.

Agreed! This guy’s workstation is adjacent to a walkway, which isn’t so bad since the walkway is lined with cabinets. There’s one spot that happens to be right next to his desk where they replaced one of the cabinets with a copier, leaving his workspace mostly exposed. He responded by building a screen with scavenged cardboard and zip ties; it even has a little door so he can reach through to grab documents off the copier.

I think it’s more likely that he’ll show up with whatever he can find in his yard. Plus, we just lost the lease on our storage warehouse, so bits and pieces from there have been making their way back to the main building. Office scuttlebutt says that management is looking to sell a lot of the stuff for scrap, so I’m sure he could pull something useful out of there.

XD I’ve been wanting to seal off that end of the building since the pandemic started.

Doubt it…they didn’t even call the cops on the guy who started hurling threats and generally acting like an ass after he was fired. Also, his supervisor is an anti-masker/anti-vaxxer, and the general manager is pretty much spineless.

Now now, don’t go dragging any fancy-schmancy literature and book learnin’ in to that part of the building!!!

And what’s his plan for transiting from the building entrance to his tree fort?\* Or is he planning to use sofa cushions?

\*(Not to mention to the restroom and the break areas)

Honestly, as long as he doesn’t come into the main building maskless, I doubt anyone back there would say anything to him. 😕

That sounds like a parody of the American band Obnoxious Influencers.

Just a spoonful of urine helps the horse dewormer go down.

Since one’s own feces contain water, protein, undigested fats, polysaccharides and “bacterial biomass” it’s a wonder that we haven’t seen an Eat Your Own Shit For Better Health movement\*.
