Rules for thee, but not for me!
How often have we shouted the phrase citing hypocritical rules for politicians, celebrities, and corporatists flaunting COVID restrictions?
We could probably find hundreds, if not thousands, of examples that show elitists breaking their own rules they want working-class individuals to follow.
Unsurprisingly, the 2022 Academy Awards will be another nauseating example of liberal hypocrisy.
Proof of Covid-19 inoculation will not be required to attend the Oscars at Dolby Theater in Los Angeles this year.
Instead, the Academy will require a negative PCR test or a negative antigen test on the day of the awards show.

However, the ‘hired help’ has to show proof of COVID-19 jab to work the event and earn a night’s pay, according to The Hollywood Reporter:
The Oscars will be back at the Dolby Theatre on March 27, less than a year after the pandemic forced Hollywood’s biggest night to be held as a scaled-down affair at Los Angeles’ Union Station with strict COVID testing requirements. In the time since, safe and free COVID vaccines have become widely available and mandated for everything from dining out to attending sporting events.
But, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is planning not to mandate proof of vaccination (with or without a booster) in order to attend this year’s ceremony. Instead, it intends to require a negative PCR test or a negative rapid antigen test on the day of the event.
The Academy, which requires its own employees to be vaccinated (with rare medical exemptions), declined to comment for this piece.
With this position on vaccinations, the organization is technically adhering to the latest minimum requirements from the Los Angeles Department of Health. But the other major award shows that precede it are not opening their doors to anyone who is not vaccinated.
Maybe all the employees will boycott the event and refuse to work due to disgusting hypocrisy by these snobbish elites.
Seeing that fiasco would, possibly, make me tune in for the show.
