  1. Here in Missouri, like a decade ago the biggest hospital system in the state mandated that all employees are banned from smoking, on or off work. It was lauded and celebrated, never challenged, no opposition. Totally normal, unfortunately.

  2. True, BUT not when it comes to legally protected classes or the lack thereof. I could not fire an employee because they're a raging communist, but being left handed and a left handed supremacist myself, I could fire them right now for being right handed. Unfortunately handedness is not yet a protected class in the US. As such an oppressed minority, if I want to operate my business where I only hire the left handed, that's fine. Just like entire massive hospital systems today and for over a decade do not hire tobacco users. To work in hospital here in the Midwest, for example, you cannot smoke on or off work. Smoking is not a protected class. The real, easy fix here is to classify vaccination status as a protected class you can't discriminate against, or to classify vaccination status as a disability this making it an ADA violation to base a decision on. When I went to university of Missouri, they actually did list being left handed as an actual disability, and had I wanted I could have gotten certified through the disability services office as 'disabled' and gotten the use of an ADA approved left handed desk or table in any classroom I went to, BY LAW. I never did as I didn't need to, but that policy was in place.

  3. Lots of companies pay you more if you go to the company gym and exercise more than a certain amount. The cost of reduced insurance premiums more than pays for the increase in labor cost. All hospital systems here in the Midwest ban smoking entirely, at or away from work. I used to work for a very large, very famous refrigeration manufacturing co here in the Midwest that REALLY discouraged smoking, to the point that if you smoked and quit, they'd pay you to go to therapy, pay for all your quit help like patches and gum, and pay you a large bonus for staying nicotine free. If you didn't smoke anyway, you got nothing special, no anything.

  4. Goya is a bad example, that was a BUYcott, not a boycott. It sends a much bigger message if company As sales drop a bit as people leave, but at the same time a competors sales increase massively as As customers buy against them with the competition.
