Bandimere shut down - Page 4

I have worked in the oil and gas industry for over 40 years, I worked for equinor oil for the last 3 years, oh yeah they use a lower case e, because capital letters are offensive, this is a Norwegian oil company. I retired 3 weeks ago, just couldn't take the mask rules that equinor implemented. I had 5 crews in the field and it gets hot in the Badlands in July, try making an oil field worker wear a mask in the middle of nowhere, I told them do what you want but I will not wear one, guess I was not a good example as a leader, well got called into a meeting for it, this was the day I have been waiting for, I am finacially secured and been looking at retiring. In the meeting was told I needed to inforce the mask, I told the Austin Texas management to pack sand I quit, and logged off the meeting, I was on my way back to Missouri in 3 hours and never looked back. I have friends in pretty much every state of the union, and talked to a lot of them after retiring, not one new someone who died of the Kung Flu, and one guy new someone that tested positive but was never hospitalized.
Just not buying into it. November 3rd it will fo away

I follow the WHO Covid tracker at work. In their own words "Any death that the patient is Covid positive is counted as a Covid death no matter what the real cause of death was". Soooooo, if you have terminal cancer and pass away, but were positive for Covid, you're a Covid death.

I'm sorry for those who lost loved ones, and it's very possible I lost my own brother to it, (died of blood clots in the lung after 3 weeks of respiratory issues) but having half the country go to work as essential workers and locking down the other half didn't do a whole lot. As stated before, how in the holy hell can bars and restaurants be spreading it and hundreds of thousands of protesters aren't?

No one wins with the situation we are in, bottom line we can’t tank the entire country over this issue or we will have mayhem. We have to deal with it the best we can and keep things open, I 100% believe this is aimed to defeat trump and that is just my 2 cents, again my opinion only but one way or the other November 5th after the election I think it changes. I love this country and what we stand for but the way things are now I hate seeing any tax money I pay going to these dumb *** protestors. We will all end up paying for all the mess they leave and all they will offer is how we pay them to continue not to work, the free ride has to stop!!!
