Do you agree with vaccine mandates to visit bars, restaurants and attend other entertainment venues?


"French Quarter businesses are feeling the impact of the city-wide vaccine mandate as they say tourism takes a nosedive.
It literally feels like theyve turned a faucet off and the tourists stopped coming, said Brian Mullin of the Local 718 Five Star Dive Bar on Bourbon Street."
The tighter COVID-19 restrictions in New Orleans are causing visitors to change plans and even canceling their trips to the city. [Tourists] waited to come, and then we booked our trip and now its like its over, said Mullin. Its almost like showing up in the ninth inning of a baseball game. Thats how it feels like on Bourbon Street.

"I have three bars in this city-- on Frenchman, Bourbon, and one in the Warehouse District. I walk back and forth between them-- theres no one in New Orleans.
An eerie feeling, he said, that has him worried for the future of his business."

I worry that this is also inevitably going to affect employees. And not just employees, but employees who are probably already not in the best financial position. With the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program ending soon, and Louisiana ending it even sooner, what is going to happen to the employees? I can't see too many businesses keeping the same staffing levels when 50% or more of their business has been wiped away.

Vaccine mandates are really the only way these establishments can operate responsibly unless I'm missing something.

Well thats the governor's decision, who also happens to be a dem. I think it was to encourage people to get back to work.

The mayor of New Orleans is the one implementing this restriction. Obviously while knowing the government payments are ending. Other cities in the state are operating "normally"

This effects all businesses and employees regardless of vaccination status.

People are choosing not to come due to the new requirements and businesses are suffering.

Do you think it should be required for people to get vaccinated, be masked up, and also force money out of their hand at the same time?

I'm not concern trolling. Do you think someone wants to lose their job because the general public decides not to visit a city because of a vaccination requirement? Or that, even when you do get vaccinated, the city still says you need to wear a mask at all times?

Where do you expect these people to work when half of the population decides they don't want to book trips? Hell, even the homeless begging for money are suffering in this case because there's no one putting tips in their bucket.

So you don't really have a reason, then. You do realize that even people in lower paying jobs voted for Trump, right? That alone negates your theory that I don't care. Unless you believe those people who did vote for Trump literally do not care about themselves.

In either event, you're painting with a really large brush and probably still suffering from TDS. Get a hold of reality

The TC:


That wasn't me. I didn't particularly care for that point some people were trying to make regarding it not being approved yet, unless those said people got the vaccine after approval. FDA has approved and then pulled a lot of things. FDA approval was never a factor for me.

That's a nice meme, though. I know there were people making that argument before approval. But please don't derail the topic at hand of people potentially losing their jobs

OK, so since you seem to have no consideration for anyone who voted for Trump, regardless of income, how do you feel about the (mostly) vaccinated employees in New Orleans who will now lose work due to people not wanting to visit because of the mayor's restrictions?

New Orleans votes blue. Are you at all concerned that many lower wage employees very well may lose their jobs because of an extreme drop in tourism?

Lol... "protests"... like the CNN coverage that said, "Fiery, but mostly peaceful", right?

We're not talking about "muzzles" in this topic. It's about vaccine mandates.... and the "muzzle" to go along with it.

I'm for extending the benefits and whatnot so that doesn't happen.
