Nevada on Thursday became the first U.S. state to impose a surcharge on workers who have not gotten a COVID-19 vaccine, though the penalty doesn’t take effect until the middle of next year.
All but two members of the state’s Public Employees’ Benefit Program Board (PEBP) voted during a meeting to approve a surcharge of $55 a month on unvaccinated workers.
The approved proposal also stipulates a surcharge of $175 a month for workers’ spouses, partners, and dependents 18 and older. That could be adjusted down the road. More
🤬😡
Since PEBP covers employees in ALL political subdivisions of the state, I wonder if this means town, city, and county workers are all mandated to take the shot? I think I’d like to help the Covid shit hit the fan on this one.
If I were a NV state employee (no way in Hell), I would find $55/month in office supplies to find their way into my briefcase.
The great boogaloo is getting closer!
Remember kids, politians and their families are bonus poits!
Uncle Al, you and I think alike.
I was going to say “I would sit on my ass for $55 worth of time” then I realized they were already state employees…
It might bring their pay closer to the level of private-sector employees.
Lawsuit.
Also – middle of next year it will be moot, and the ‘fee’ will be rescinded.
Pointy End Out – you need to define the point values and write a screenplay titled “Death Race 2024.”
LCD: It will be moot by the middle of next year? You aren’t by any chance in the market for a bridge in Brooklyn, are you? (Just kidding.)
This whole thing has nothing to do with public health but everything to do with finding a way to get people to willingly give up their rights.
I’m no lawyer, but it seems that if the courts block mandates for SOME, they must do so for EVERYONE.
I wonder where they got this idea?
Jizya or jizyah (Arabic: جِزْيَة; [d͡ʒizjah]) is a per capita yearly taxation historically levied in the form of financial charge on permanent non-Muslim subjects (dhimmi) of a state governed by Islamic law.
Health insurance companies have had a ‘surcharge’ (it’s a penalty) against smokers since ACA was passed. Started at $50/mo, then increased to $75. Nobody wanted to stick up for the smokers. Wait until the surcharge for being overweight or hypertensive.
Reminds me of ‘back-in-the-day’ 55 was the magical number for maximum speed on the freeway.
Nothing was gained by the speed limit but some money did change hands from ‘the people’ to the government.
Guvnah Seestak is a such a phat phuck. 🖕💩🖕
When you steal from the people that work for you most of them will get it back in some way and then some, that’s for sure.
“They’ll help offset the costs of COVID-19 testing,”
It’s the jabbed who should be getting the bulk of the tests, you fucking nitwits.
The jab doesn’t prevent the spread of the coof and the majority of people are jabbed and THINK they are immune due to brainwashing and therefore are more likely to catch and spread the coof.
The purebloods still live in a world with the coof and common sense.
Separate people from their money.
THAT’S the entire point of government.
The more corrupt the government, the more they steal through taxation.
This is nothing more than extortion.
Extortion used to be a crime.
