Separate but unequal

Of the many farcical statements made over the 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, none was more vapid and insulting than "We're all in this together."

Here's yet another reminder of how that sentiment was unequivocal bull pucky. 

After months of pressure, Mayor Eric Adams is exempting professional athletes and performers from the city's workplace vaccine mandate.

That means Nets fans could soon see Kyrie Irving play home games and the news came down right before Major League Baseball starts its new season, CBS2's John Dias reported Thursday.

Adams said the exemptions take effect immediately, regardless of the performers' and players' COVID vaccine status.

"Currently, only non-resident are exempt under this executive order. We are expanding it to residents of New York City," Adams said at a press conference at Citi Field.

It is a considerable reversal from his original position of honoring a de Blasio administration rule requiring COVID vaccines in the workplace.

How can this be interpreted any other way than there are separate rules for the elites of NYC? I mean, we're used to seeing elites and politicos flouting the rules, but in this case there is literally a separate standard for the upper crust. 

Remember former NYC Mayor Ed Koch's sentiment of "The people have spoken.....and they will be punished?" Kinda speaks for itself here, no?
