First of all, if no one is working, no one is paying taxes. Hopefully, that would shrink the size of govt. More likely, though, govt will just print more money and raise taxes on the people who are still working. If fewer people are working, fewer goods are being produced, fewer goods are reaching markets and less food is being produced. (Food quality also declines.) Scarcity leads to price increases and drives inflation. Many employees have chosen to take early retirement, even at reduced benefit levels. The sudden increase in benefit payouts will burden many businesses. Experienced older employees will most likely be replaced with warm bodies. Don't expect to receive the same standard of care or service.

We will see how efficiently the nation can be run with more people dependent on govt or charity. There will be fewer doctors, dentists and nurses. Fewer truckers and trailers on the roads. Fewer teachers and day care workers. Fewer Fish and Wildlife employees... poorer fishing and hunting when people most need to be food self-reliant? Fewer people to fight forest fires. Fewer prison guards. Bus drivers. Mandates will be a boon to states like Texas. Private start up businesses that do not require vaccines will be able to attract some incredibly talented employees.

People are already learning that they can work less for others and do more for themselves so they do not need as much income. This also reduces taxes paid. There are so many "hidden" taxes and expenses related to holding many jobs that it is not unreasonable for many people to need to earn $2 for every $1 they spend. Thus, every dollar you do not need to spend equates to $2 of earned income. People may begin to realize that they are farther ahead if they have time to produce their own food and have extra to sell, no longer need to pay business licenses-taxes-insurance, wardrobes, vehicles inc. gas, restaurant meals away from home (and coffee breaks!). Have more time for hunting and fishing with family

Love this show of solidarity on the part of the drivers! However, part of me wishes this could be fought legally so it can set a precedent for others. Like wait to actually be fired rather than resigning, take them to court as a group for breaching the Nuremberg Code, and win it so we can begin an avalanche of similar cases in every state.

Death/disability/destroying health is being mandated. Some survive maybe due to saline water was used as a control in this experiment. They are trying to lower the population by 90% in as many ways as possible including trashing the fuel/trashing the food/weather warfare/GMO/Roundup/low good water/other vaccines/this weaponized vaccine and weaponized treatment..pretend vaccine and much more.

This is the kind of stance needed to change the tide. Your job, career, title, money means nothing if your health goes to sh#%. :(

The commiecRATS in control of Chicago will probably even offer the new drivers they hire more money to stay home just as long as they know who to vote for next election.

My understanding is that it is better - from a legal standpoint - to be fired. At least the blame can be shifted. However, if firing was only threatened, then a case might be made that it was coercive.

I would like to know where the schools are getting this money. They drop important programs in the schools due to a lack of funding and they already do not pay their teachers enough. Whiskey, Tango. Foxtrot. over.

Good luck finding 100 good drivers, let alone 500. Perhaps if the left scale back welfare and make all those freeloaders actually get a job but that will never happen; their lives might improve and start voting Republican.

They should withdraw the immoral and illegal mandate. The drivers should withdraw their reservations, come to work unvaccinated and let themselves be fired. Then apply for workers compensation and file a class-action lawsuit against the school board for wrongful firing.

Yes, it is encouraging!

Bus drivers do not make alot of $. I'm sure this was not easy for them. So gutsy! I hope someone will set up an account of sorts to help support them for their bravery.

Praise God. Wow, this is encouraging news! I love that the bus drivers quit! We need people to do that in all areas of business! When 100's of employees/nurses quit due to vaccine mandates, the hospitals will back down. People are getting bolder. Horraaay!
