Tell me you’ve never hiked in deep snow with saying so explicitly

Was it built in the last 40 years? Then it’s disposable junk and you should walk away.

Third this - I have worked in tech over twenty years.

Good to know, Mr. Galaxy Brain.

This is bullshit - *anyone* who I am legally required to interact with must be 100% vaccinated. I have no way to avoid interacting with cops and TSA when they choose to engage. In return for those powers and their generous wages, they need to be vaccinated with zero exceptions.
