    I worked at a school as a bus driver and maintenance worker until last year. I enjoyed having a positive interaction with the kids and the teachers enjoyed having me come into their classes once a week and giving them a 'Mr. Chad' question that I would answer the next week. I have many resources and would sometimes bring in others who would demonstrate the answers. The teachers said it inspired their students to work more in their class. The questions would always center around what was being taught (bringing a falconer with his falcon (when they were studying birds and migrations).
    The school had unimaginable problems occurring on the bus. I tried to work within their system of rules which were not effective. Then I ignored their procedures and demanded that the kids behave or they were not permitted to ride the bus, I wouldn't allow them on. I told them even if they misbehaved I would still treat them with respect when they got on but they had to sit where I made them sit. I demanded respect. Even the ones who didn't like me called me "Mr. Chad" and began to like the bus ride.
    Then I got in trouble because I stopped an older boy from hitting a small girl in the face. I didn't hit him, I grabbed his backpack and marched him to the front of the bus, sat him down and told him that was where he would ride until I told him different. The parent complained and I got in trouble. The administration held court and informed me that I was wrong (for preventing the injury of one child by another!) and that I was not in charge of the bus and could not interfere but only report. It quickly became unruly again.
    The principal told me that I should not be entering classrooms to teach children, I was unqualified. The teachers and the students were disappointed. The children would approach me in the hallway and ask me to ask them a 'Mr. Chad' question. The administration complained that I was encouraging the children to break the 'social distancing' rule and they were failing to march in straight lines remaining on 'their' side of the hall.
    Then came the masks and the face shields and the requirement that I was to enforce the rules and that shots would become mandatory. When I worked alone at night I did not wear a mask (there was not another person in the building), it was noticed on the safety videos.
    I quit. Need the money. Have less. Will not comply. Will not teach young people fear. Will not teach them that they can misbehave and no adult will correct them. I can't teach them that more is expected of them.
    I do admire teachers and enjoy teaching. I will not work for the system. I wish you luck. There may be a time when you have to choose, and it won't be what you want but what you must do.

    First I am 73yr old in reasonably good health. I wear the mask in public places where usually required. Naturally I would rather not bother. But there are moments in a store when I pass by someone and feel the airflow and I wonder....what if they had "it". At that moment I'm glad to have the mask.
    I have had both shots. I just decided at my age that maybe I could die from the vaccine or, maybe I could die from the virus.It is like life itself.....a chance...damned if you do and damned if you don't.

    I am waiting for them to start eating each other over the theatrics of the Pandemic, the Mask, and that their new participation award, the Vaccination ID CARD.
    They can produce EOs all day but until Congress (ever) decides to do their jobs of Legislation, we are just witnessing how for they will go to keep their Elite in power and try to eliminate capitalism and a free market of Ideas and Production!

    As a Teacher I am required to wear the mask while at work. I make no secret of the fact that I wear it "ONLY" because it is a condition of employment and I require a paycheck. The instant that I leave the building it comes off and I refuse to wear it anywhere else. I also refuse the vaccine on a daily basis. It is incredible how often I get approached about my urgent need to take the shot. My school literally sends emails multiple times a day telling us when and where we can go to get the shot. Plus the Administrators come by DAILY to ask us if we have had it yet and to encourage us to go and take it. They always look at me as if I am crazy when I tell them calmly and politely that I haven't and will not be getting it. Then they come around again the next day. It is like a scene from the movie Groundhog.

    You ask a rhetorical question of those whom you already know will answer no. The bigger problem is trying to educate the masses.

    The only 'rule of law' left will be the "anti-racist" (aka racist) law that requires white producers to pay non-whites henceforth called the "created equals."

    "...black markets, forged documents..." I'm sure there will be a new underground industry in these new "passports" some control freaks are coming up with. I only hope those kinds of forgeries funnel $ to patriots and not the mafia or cartels.

    I sure hope that the desire to survive as an individual vastly outnumbers those who only only want to belong to the collective.

    As people do in other countries with repressive, socialist regimes.
    As people have though the ages under forced rule by dictators who claimed to be chosen by 'god'.
    Sociopaths taking power have not changed.
    Might makes right.
    The shining moment of American individual liberty will end unless the People use their unified might against the sociopaths.

    The possible solution is to play the game the same way they do - no rules.
    Ie, black markets, forged documents, underground networks, etc

    It will be a war for survival.

    What is disconcerting is that there is no recourse against unlawful/unconstitutional laws.

    They gotcha over a barrel when your ability to purchase is denied.

    You end up Damning yourself,.. if you do and your damned by others,.. if you don't.

    Apparently, there are hundreds of millions that do. Unfortunately they also vote, at least once.
