With the move, Chobani joins several major grocery chains in knocking down barriers and building up incentives for employee vaccinations. Dollar General, Trader Joe’s, and Aldi have all said they would compensate workers for getting vaccinated, with all three stores offering an extra four hours of pay on top of paid time off.

The dark drumbeat of a protracted pandemic, the deafening noise of political propaganda machines, the endless black hole that is social media, all left our country with many questions and few answers.
