I’m not sure how this is supposed to take a jab at Texas.
Go ahead and threaten me with what I want.
I’m sure most Texans would be happy to collect a $10,000 bounty on sex offenders.
Do they have to be taken alive?
What about severely beaten, is that allowed?
Can guys from North Carolina pick up some weekend work hunting down sex offenders?
Upstate University Hospital to shutter ORs, blaming NY vaccine mandate for staff shortage
Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse will temporarily close 22 of its 35 operating rooms starting Monday in anticipation of a growing staff shortage due to New York’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate.
The hospital had already postponed elective surgeries as a result of chronic staff shortages during the coronavirus pandemic.
Now, priority will be given to surgeries that are medically necessary, time sensitive or involve critical-care trauma cases, the hospital announced Friday. Those surgeries will be consolidated into the 13 open operating rooms.
Earlier in the day, the hospital warned employees who cannot prove that they’ve been vaccinated against Covid-19 by 5 p.m. Monday will not be allowed to work Tuesday.
According to Johns Hopkins:
An elective surgery does not always mean it is optional. It simply means that the surgery can be scheduled in advance. It may be a surgery you choose to have for a better quality of life, but not for a life-threatening condition. But in some cases it may be for a serious condition such as cancer. Examples of elective surgery include removing a mole or wart, and having kidney stones removed. It may also be done if other forms of treatment are not working.
You might really need that joint replacement or cardiac stent or pacemaker but it’s far more important that your OR nurse has her COVID shot.
The miniscule risk that a nurse with asymptomatic COVID under OR sterility protocols gives you COVID and you die from it is considerably more important than whatever your doctor thought you needed surgery for.
You are being denied surgery for your health.
New York state workers who are fired for refusing to get vaccinated are not eligible for unemployment insurance, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Saturday – just two days before the deadline for workers to get the jab.
The governor made the ramifications clear during Saturday’s announcement of a contingency plan to address potential staffing shortages in hospitals and other health care facilities statewide.
Get the vaccine or starve.
Remember, they are doing this for your health, and if that means getting fired, losing your home, medical coverage, and being left destitute with no food, it’s for your own good.
This Ruger 10/22 is officially mine.
Although I understand the AR 15 upgrade/modification craziness, the fact that it is louder than what you can do with a 10/22 surprised me. I might be off base here, but about the only tools you need for this thing is a Swiss Army knife and a hex key. This is an old model so the first modification was to add the extended mag release and next on the list will be the automatic bolt release. Both upgrades rang my wallet just cents over $30 and what I saw on other aftermarket parts, you can build a carbine from scratch with little money and even less technical effort. Or I May just get me a threaded barrel and a new scope to install on this one for quiet backyard critter elimination. Yes, I need a can too, thankfully, the ones for .22 cal are in the $ 500 area. Whatever I go, I can say I am enjoying the heck out this rifle as is.
And I am pissed at you, guys. You should have informed of this a decade or two ago. 🙂
UPDATE: The Tacbro automatic bolt release arrived this afternoon rather than tomorrow. It took me all of 5-7 minutes to install it including a bit of file work which I knew it would be required and was ready for it.
Working as advertised.
I’ve had this one (at least the first four lines) with my wife countless times.
When I lived in Chicagoland, my redneck self was usually the only person with a knife so colleagues and coworkers would ask to borrow mine.
It got to the point where I started carrying a POS loaner knife just to lend to people who asked to borrow one to open boxes.
