All the free stuff your state is giving away if you get vaccinated
Perhaps no vaccine incentive is more desirable than one million dollars.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced this week the state will run five $1 million lottery draws each week from May 26 to June 23.
The New Orleans City Council organized the event on May 13, which they’ve advertised with the slogan, “1 shot for 1 pound.”
The promotion is a partnership with a local business incubator and attendees will receive both a vaccine — either Moderna or Johnson & Johnson — and a free pound of boiled crawfish. The first 30 people in line will also receive a free gift card.
Anyone who pre-registers and drives another city resident to a vaccination site will get the $50 card as a reward.
“Pushing past our inability to manage and win the argument on social media, we really had to be more inventive about how to get the attention of the greater, grander community,” said Detroit Deputy Mayor Conrad L. Mallett.
And the list goes on.
I got vaccinated a couple of months ago.
I am “an essential government contractor in the defense manufacturing industry.”
We were told that while vaccination wasn’t mandatory, it would be “severely encouraged” and if we didn’t have the vaccine, getting into government facilities for meetings and whatnot would be difficult.
So I complied.
Now the holdouts are getting free shit. Gift cards, food, and lottery tickets.
They threatened me at the front of the line and California is a week away from subsidizing sex workers into giving blowjobs to guys standing in line for the vaccine.
As a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen, the government really does everything in its power to make me feel like a sucker who gets fucked over for doing the right thing.
If I ever ran as a darkhorse President or something, my entire platform would be to reverse this.
If the government is giving out gift cards and blowjobs it’s to all the law-abiding, tax-paying, civic-minded citizens, and everyone else can get fucked.
I got the second Moderna vaccine about three weeks ago. I’m pushing seventy (real hard) overweight, and have other medical issues. In other words, I’m a prime candidate for serious effects if I get the WuFlu. Other than a sore shoulder at the injection site for a day or two I’ve had no side effects. With all the hype, bribes, and threats of “Vaccine Passports” I’m wondering if the vax is so good, why are they pushing it so hard? Not the way to build confidence in getting a jab. I am beginning to wonder if I made the right decision. I still think I did considering the alternative, but it does make one wonder.

Donald Trump tried that. Both parties AND the government bureaucrats, who owe their jobs to administering those giveaways, fought him every step of the way, destroyed everyone who got close to him, and now will likely throw him in prison.
Yup, says those of us who paid cash for our children to go to community college while spoiled brats are screaming for college loan forgiveness. Been there, done that.
Student loan forgiveness is the same.
My wife and I did the right thing. I went back to school, worked my ass off studying late nights, got me degree, got a better job with it, and then we poured every penny we had into paying off the loans. We paid the last of the 10-year loans off 6 1/2 years after they went into repayment, and we’re mostly debt free since (just the mortgage and one car loan). Our credit scores are fantastic.
Now they’re talking about forgiving student loans or having the government pay them off.
Do we get a nice fat check for the money we apparently we didn’t have to put in but did, because it was the right thing to do? Nope. That’s gone.
Instead, some gender studies major with six figures of student debt and no realistic way to pay it off will be rewarded for their stupidity. The rest of us get screwed and have to cover that debt with our taxes.
