Corporations are reportedly implementing mandates not necessarily out of health concerns, but to maintain high Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores. These scores, influenced by firms like BlackRock, dictate investment eligibility regardless of profit. The hosts also discuss the mechanics of unemployment insurance, noting that companies may use "violation of company policy" to deny benefits to those fired for refusing the vaccine.
Legal analysts explain that employees fired for refusing a vaccine mandate may be ineligible for unemployment benefits because they are technically "violating a company rule." In California, the Employment Development Department (EDD) determines eligibility on a case-by-case basis, but benefits are generally reserved for those who lose work through "no fault of their own." The hosts describe this as an "evil" tactic to leave people without a safety net during the holidays.
