As one, but not the only one, of my company's founders, I prevented the company mandating the vax and firing the unvaccinated. I also wrote the policy which made masks optional. I'm also organizing a freedom stickering campaign. But I think the people who have worked to achieve a public profile and provided inspiration to hundreds of thousands, including me, should be awarded more points.
Only because the Bad side had a lot of power & influence pushing/promoting it. If it was solely the Pharmaceutical companies pushing the vaccine while the government was neutral and the media played the role it used to many decades ago, and big businesses in other industries weren't supporting the vaccine there would have been far less support. People want to belong to what they perceive is the majority so as long as you can control the perception of what is the majority you can more easily manipulate 2.3rds of the populace. This was far easier to do pre-internet when people had no way to reach out and find like minded people so easily. Had we not yet advanced the internet to the point where Twitter and FB were prevalent platforms for information sharing I believe they would have pulled this off.
Nice list. I guess I'll give myself a +1. I still remember in March 2020 when our company sent out the work-from-home directive, I asked our SVP: "WHY?" Got a milquetoast response. After pointing out that such measures would be not only useless but also economically catastrophic, I ended the conversation with: "If we are really going to something this drastic, I'd better see stacks of human bodies stacked along the highways on my work to work the next two weeks."
Well, if the bad can be far more evil than the good can be good, then we will just have to win by getting to the point where we vastly outnumber, out-think and outlast the evil ones.
Stay as active against evil as possible, but also . . .

I'm afraid that all I rate is a measly +1. Mark, you're always going to look back on this time and feel proud of what you did. I'm vacillating between anger and forgiveness at those close to me who scored deep in the negative. I put my feelings here: https://elephantcity.substack.com/p/heres-what-i-really-want-to-say?s=r

Brilliant! I'm aiming to claim +2 points. Keep up the good work, Mark.

I never did work from home though. Not one day.

Woo! I get to be a 0 to +1 throughout the entire fiasco! I am not a voluntary leader except for the concept of leading by example.
