Aug. 24, 2021 - Former President Donald Trump was booed at a rally in Cullman, Alabama, over the weekend when he urged the crowd to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“I believe totally in your freedoms. I do. You’ve got to do what you have to do,” Trump said Saturday. “But I recommend: take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good. Take the vaccines.”
Some people in the largely maskless crowd started booing. Trump responded to the boos by saying it was “OK.”
“But I happen to take the vaccine,” he said. “If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. OK? I’ll call up Alabama, I’ll say, ‘Hey, you know what?’ But [the vaccine] is working. But you do have your freedoms you have to keep. You have to maintain that.”

Yeah. That's a lie that they've been saying since the beginning and that the Legacy Media has been more than happy to parrot. I've already been talking about that one here for days.
They were the only airline getting rained on at the airport, apparently.
You're an idiot.
Kelly made the rounds of morning television Tuesday to explain that the thousands of nationwide cancellations and delays were sparked by weather issues in Florida and compounded by air traffic control issues in the surrounding area, triggering a chain reaction of cancellations through the weekend and Monday.

Big business is overwhelmingly in favor of requiring that workers get vaccinated against Covid-19. A recent CNBC survey of chief financial officers found that 80 percent of them say they “totally support” the Biden administration’s plan to impose a vaccine-or-test mandate on companies with more than 100 workers, and many companies have already announced vaccination requirements for their employees.
Yet Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, just issued an executive order banning vaccine mandates in his state. That is, he’s not just refusing to use his own powers to promote vaccination; he’s interfering in private decisions, trying to prevent businesses from requiring that their workers or customers be vaccinated.
And on Sunday, Senator Ted Cruz celebrated a wave of flight cancellations by Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, based on rumors — which both the airline and its union deny — that the problems were caused by a walkout of employees protesting the airline’s new vaccine requirements.
What’s going on here?
Republicans have been closely allied with big business since the Gilded Age, when a party originally based on opposition to slavery was in effect captured by the rising power of corporations. That alliance lost some of its force in the 1950s and 1960s, an era in which the G.O.P. largely accepted things like progressive taxation and strong labor unions, but came back in full with the rise of Ronald Reagan and his agenda of tax cuts and deregulation.
Indeed, it wasn’t that long ago that you could plausibly think of the Republican Party as basically a front for big-business interests, one that exploited social issues and appeals to racial hostility to win elections, only to turn immediately after each election to a pro-corporate agenda. That was basically the thesis of Thomas Frank’s 2004 book “What’s the Matter With Kansas,” and it seemed like a good model of the party until the rise of Trumpism.
Now, however, Republican politicians are at odds with corporate America on crucial issues. It’s not just vaccines. Corporate interests also want serious investment in infrastructure and find themselves on the outs with Republican leaders who don’t want to see Democrats achieve any policy successes. Basically, the G.O.P. is currently engaged in a major campaign of sabotage — its leaders want to see America do badly, because they believe this will redound to their political advantage — and if this hurts their corporate backers along the way, they don’t care.
Just to be clear, corporations aren’t being good guys. They support vaccine mandates and infrastructure investment because they believe that both would be good for their bottom lines. They’re still for the most part opposed to the rest of the Biden agenda, including — unforgivably — efforts to fight climate change, because they don’t want to pay higher taxes.
Still, the conflict between the G.O.P. and corporations is a striking new turn in American politics. And I wonder if some corporate leaders find themselves asking, in the privacy of their own minds, “My God, what have we done?”
For the truth is that the Republican Party has been growing increasingly radical — and decreasingly rational — for a long time. Republicans, the Anti-Business Party.

The only problem with that story is that it wasn't Southwest Airlines Airport.
None of the other airlines were cancelling any flights due to weather issues.
Only Southwest Airlines.
No. That's not suspect at all.
You are an idiot.

On Sunday, Nicole Sperry said her final goodbyes to her 10-year-old daughter, who died from Covid-19. Less than 24 hours later, she was behind a podium combating misinformation from parents at a Virginia school board meeting: "My message for you and all that are listening is that Covid is not over, no matter what people who have been standing up here have said. On September 27, during the last meeting, there were parents or concerned citizens that voiced misinformation to you."
"They said that Covid is basically over and that healthy people do not die. When they were sharing this information, their opinions, the fact was, I was sitting next to my healthy daughter's deathbed. She died five days after showing symptoms. I am sure they were speaking to what they've experienced, but they are wrong."

A record 4.3 million people quit their jobs in August. Most of them in retail and grocery.

You mean that if you circumvent the Constitution using an agency that was created during the Nixon administration to mandate people get vaccines they don't want or need that they're not going to stick around and make minimum wage?
Fuck you.

“There are false claims of job actions by Southwest pilots currently gaining traction on social media and making their way into mainstream news. I can say with certainty that there are no work slowdowns or sickouts either related to the recent mandatory vaccine mandate or otherwise.”

The union also said the travel headaches were caused by poor planning.
"SWA has claimed that the immediate causes of this weekend’s meltdown were staffing at Jacksonville center and weather in the southeast U.S., but what was a minor temporary event for other carriers devastated southwest airlines because our operation has become brittle and subject to massive failures under the slightest pressure,” the union said in a statement online.
