00:11 Mo Facts with Adam Curry for January 26, 2022. This is episode number 74. Did you miss us? We sure missed y'all. We're back on our steel sticks. Adam Curry coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country. And time once again to spin the wheel of topics all the way from here to Chile, Northern Virginia. Please say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. Mo Facts. How you doing, Adam? Mo. I love this track. I'm familiar with the song, of course, but not with this particular version. And then she kicks it again here. Black bodies winging in the summary. This is Kanye.
00:52 This is Kanye. Track? Yeah. That's Yeezy. I love it. It's really good. Hey, man, how you doing? What's going on in your world? Fired. Fired. Been waiting to play that for a couple of months. Wow. All right. It's free. Tell us free. Tell us what's going on. Hey, I got the after 15 years of service with the company that I was employed, formerly employed by. And now you started at a low-level position there, right? And worked your way up in the company. Well, I mean, I started out as a technician. That's a whole nother story for another day. That was the easiest door to get in,
01:38 even though I had the qualifications for an engineer. But I mean, I always start, you know what I'm saying? Start where you can start and work my way up to a management position. And they sent me a form letter. Wait, wait, they fired you with a form letter? Yes. No phone call? Nothing. Dude, okay. So just for people who are new, just recount what this is all about, if you don't mind, just so we can understand how we're doing. You're free. First of all, congratulations, Mo. You are free. You are completely free.
02:17 And this is where the journey begins. I'm very excited for you. And I am literally, how they like to say, a free man talking. Yes, sir. Finally. I can say what I would, you know what I'm saying? Look out. Look out all the shit he's been wanting to say, everybody. Now it's coming. Exactly. Because when you work for a company, and I will never mention their name out of just mutual respect for how I was able to feed my family by providing my services to them. And it's no hard feelings. But my issue is this: being a capitalist, a company can be able to run the company how they want to.
02:55 But my issue is the collusion that's going on between the United States government and corporations to force people out of their employment because of their health decisions. That's my problem. Because the way these whole timelines played out, just mysteriously, I get the letter on the day when they drop the OSHA. The OSHA mandates. Yes. The corporation pushed the time to get vaccinated a day before the OSHA mandate came out. So it's clear collusion. Allegedly. Let me say that. Allegedly. Right. So, so, so, okay, just so we understand, they had a mandate.
03:36 You said, no, I'm not going to comply with the mandate. Then they put you on inactive. Oh, yeah. And just for everybody, I mean, because there's two months. I'm working from home. Let's just put this. First of all, I'm working from home. So I'm a threat to no one. But, I mean, company policy said, you know, you have to be vaccinated by this date or, you know, you could be terminated. That's fine. That's their choice. I decided not to, you know, accept the vaccine in my life. Yes. Yeah. So I knew what was coming. But the thing was, they did it where they left you lingering in
04:19 limbo to say your own leave without pay. So you can't even file for unemployment. Right. And it forced all. And they did it right before the holidays. Of course. You got to be as shitty as possible. So, but that was that was clearly just to keep you in limbo to get you to think and decide, oh, I should probably do this. Welcome to quit. They want you to quit or leave to go to another job or do or make the decision to take it. That was the force there. So, but like I said, my moral issue is crazy. The collusion of it because the time, the timing, that can't be coincidental. And all the OSHA did was say, hey, we'll tip the scale. We'll be the capitalist. catalyst for all the corporations to do what they want to do.
05:03 And then you can hide behind us. And it was clear collusion between the two. In my law and order degree from SVU. Right. So what you're saying is that they wanted to shed staff and they did it on the last day of OSHA, of the OSHA mandate before OSHA said we're dropping it. And that was the next day. And they did it a day before the OSHA mandate came down. Oh, I see. I see. So clearly, you know what I'm saying? Clearly, there was some back channel. But like I said, I'm in a better position because than I was because the OSHA mandate dropped.
05:45 So there are corporations and companies that will hire unvaccinated people. So now, so now you and I have been speaking for a long time about this and in a way also about this day privately. You clearly have a skill set and you can continue in your field. I would, I could only presume that outside of outside of mandates, you would be a highly desirable hire for any company in the same field. Correct. Especially because, excuse me, my friend, you are BIPOC. So, you know, you tick all the boxes, brother.
06:24 You got your BIPOC. Almost all your boxes are ticked, you know, but you got the BIPOC edge. But you could continue in that field, I guess. I mean, I don't know if that field is now just locked down, if every corporation is doing the same thing. I didn't even know how the industry is. Do you think there's a reason why they wanted to get rid of people? Is it just to weed out people and bring new ones in? Or what is the point of their exercise? On multiple different levels. And this is why this topic of this show is going to be pertinent to what's going on.
07:02 On one level, peer pressure. My company being, you know, seeing itself as a Silicon Valley type company, it was the woke thing to do. Two, there's some government financial incentives for doing it. And three, on a very conspiratorial level, but I believe true level, and it's a way to get rid of your problem people. It's like, oh, you don't buy in completely. This is a clear way to see who's completely bought in. And this is no disrespect to anybody. I want to make it clear I'm pro-choice.
07:41 If you choose, you know, saying take the vaccine to your life, that's your choice. You should have the right to. The same way people don't want to do what should have the right to. So just with that said, I think you have the people that's more compliant and non-compliant people, they get dealt with. So interesting because if I was running a company, I'd want all the people who weren't compliant. Hey, these people, these are fighters. I like them. But I guess that's not the corporate decision. Well, we got to talk about where that comes from. So I guess man talking. Well, hold on a second. This is an important moment. Yes. So just taking into account, you could do other things, but you're going to focus on the shows?
08:30 I'm going to focus on growing my entertainment company and other enterprises. So honestly, I see the, like I said, I see it from today. I am retired from working for somebody else because I've done that for since 15 years old. So that's 26 years. I've gone without a job. I've had a job since 15, except for maybe a six-month period from when I graduated college, and nobody wanted to hire me because even the menial jobs, and I don't say that disrespectfully, but even McDonald's and places like that wouldn't hire me. Because as soon as we hire you, you're going to move on. So that's the only thing.
09:12 Yeah, you were overcome. You're probably without a job. You were overcome. Yeah, exactly. And so I took a job at a computer chip company. I mean, not this one, but another one packing boxes. And that's how I got in the door, passed my resume around, moved up, moved over, moved up, and then just from there, just constantly up. So this is just me starting over again. And I want to say that for people who enjoy this podcast, you enjoy it. You've been enjoying it for 73 episodes. If you wanted to continue, Mo has options.
09:51 So you will have your opportunity will be thanking people. people who have been supporting the work in our donation segments. But yeah, it's now more than ever. This is why you need to support your independent media with whatever you think it's worth. The value is up to you. Wow, Mo. Okay, good. Yes. Go ahead. And one last thing said, not only options of going being employed by somebody else, but just opportunities that present themselves from the producers and the family. You know what I'm saying? I met through this journey. So there are a lot of options on the table. Stay tuned. That's all I'm going to say. Stay tuned. There are big things coming. And there's a lot of people who are rooting for you and a lot of people who want to help.
