    …and so it starts in earnest…no jab, no job…https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56113366

    • This was always going to happen, but I’m still very sad to see it. One way or another, there will be a pushes for no jab, no work; no jab, no government assistance (unemployment, disability, job seeker’s allowance, whatever it may be); no jab, no travel; no jab, no entry (to shops, hospitals, office buildings, you name it).

        • I think what got to me most about the BBC article is just how obsequious the reporting is. The BBC has been awful for a long time but with Covid it has gone full-Pravda. The opening position of the article is that this is legal…the tone that this is an obvious good. The UK has fallen a long way with Covid and unfortunately I suspect we are not even close to rock-bottom.

        • criminal.

          • I can’t get a job right now because I refuse to wear a mask, the mandate was supposed to have ended last July. Most of this is enforced by employers. But here’s one for you, https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/israel-allow-green-pass-holders-only-access-public-spaces

              • I always suspected that in the U.S. the government would let the private sector do the compelling and enforcing. I predict an informal economy will grow up among people who need things done and don’t care if a service provider or worker wears a mask / is vaxxed or not–at least, I hope so.

                  • Yup, that’s what I’m hoping for, just gotta survive until then.

                      • Best wishes in the meantime!

                        • I’m sure you’re racking your brain for solutions. Have you assessed the full complement of skills and talents you have? even those you haven’t fully developed? Somewhere in that big bucket of goodies there is opportunity waiting I bet.
