With area hospitals nearly filled to capacity, an anti-vaccine mob tried to force their way into the Orange County, FL govt building today when it was closed, demanding to see the mayor.

Several area businesses are coming together to join Disney and require employees be vaccinated, and the anti-vaccers are demanding that the Mayor stop them.

1. These folks have zero clue

about what it means to be a private business. Never had problems with shirts and shoes to get service, but masks, that made them all flip out.

3. My mother said there was grumbling in Arkansas when shoes had to be worn in stores!

My grandfather worked his farm barefoot until the 50’s.

It embarrassed his kids. Now they realize he went without them so they could wear them to school. They were poor. But like my grandfather used to say he owned his own land and never sharecropped. Those people often went hungry.

2. How long can DeSantis duck this issue?

Looks like a mini-insurrection to me. Stupid people doing stupid things.

6. He has no choice now. Can't back down.

Disney’s decision to require a vaccine for employment is devastating to his political hopes. More and more businesses now feel comfortable making the same decision because the biggest one has. They’ve lost too much revenue and want this over.

So he is boxed in. Attack businesses? The cruise lines are pretty much telling him to fuck off already.

Is he going to go to war with the theme parks? Good luck with that in Florida.

7. Thanks....

Sad that private institutions do a better job of protecting public health than our governments - in certain places. Wait, it's Republican control that makes businesses become communist/socialist!

8. It is comically ironic.

I was in a restaurant over a year ago and the manager at the bar was bitching about Disney raising their starting pay to $15 an hour because they would have to do the same. He knew I disagreed quickly.

10. My last, best time in Fl was 3/24-4/3/20.

Fort Meyers/Sanibel Island. Red Sox and Strawberry Daiquiris. Perfect fucking vacation.

13. That a beautiful part of the state. Too many people for me.

We are not real beach people unless fishing. We mainly do the Nature Coast, big bend and Forgotten Coast. Crystal River to Port St. Joe.

No people, beautiful water, lots of fish and good rental house prices. But we go with a boat.

I live just an hour from Crystal River.

14. I live just an hour from Moosehead Lake,

In Greenville, ME.

15. We honeymooned in Maine back in 94. Beautiful.

But I could not stand the Winters. Even in May I was cold.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. You appreciate Summers in Maine.

That for sure.

[Volaris]

22. Nope not even a little bit.

This is the Invisible Hand that the GOP has spent the last HUNDRED YEARS empowering, and now they wanna throw a whole fit cause thwyre the ones it turns around and bitch slaps.

Fuck em.

They MADE this bed.

12. I am now picturing a political cartoon showing DeSantis arm wrestling the Mouse!

The Mouse is being cheered on by a bevy of Disney princesses, complete with pompoms. DeSantis' cheering section consists of a bunch of scuzzy looking guys in MAGA hats and antivax tshirts, waving Confederate and Nazi flags.

The Mouse is winning. DeSantis is sweating bullets.

18. Love it! To be made into a cartoon.....nt

[GulfCoast66]

4. Orange County is blue. As is Orlando.

Businesses are starting to do what DeSantis won’t. More and more are mandating vaccines for employment. Disney started a wave.

And Disney is in negotiations with the unions to get the mandate for the hourly cast. We are talking 70,000 employees mandated to get the vaccine for continued employment.

My wife has an employee who was vocal last week when Disney made the announcement. Said she would quit first if required of her. She’s now in the hospital. Yep, Covid.

5. Fancy that....

9. Which is better defense, an aluminum baseball bat, or a wooden one?

[dweller]

11. You have 2 hands ...

🤔

✌🏻

[GulfCoast66]

17. Aluminum. Less weight but you can build up rapid velocity. And

Makes a fun noise when it connects as well.

I’ve hit balls with both.

19. They're lucky they didn't get pepper sprayed or get hit by bean bag rounds

23. Death cults. They don't want to survive and they don't want you to either.

Come on people, you know it is just a cold...
