    Is this what stopped her from the bottle? Or is it still a cheap wine box?

    There is freedom, and there is freedom.

    With Biden's new, sweeping-sounding vaccination mandates, people are going to realize, and feel, a difference.

    I do, even already. Now that the President is actually going to mandate that employers with more than 100 people require vaccinations, or else, provide/require weekly tests, or people's jobs will be in danger, the ante has been upped significantly. For real. If you think about it, it actually does sound/feel atypically intrusive and aggressive for the U.S., and now there's really going to be fights and protests about it.

    It is so too bad that it apparently had to come to this, and people couldn't just get vaccinated, of their own volition, when it was truly optional.

    Employers and employees are going to rail against this, probably for a little bit different reasons, and it is going to be costly to some people.

    I'm sure there will be some push-back against the L.A. Unified School District's mandate for students/young people as well, both by some kids, and many of their parents, who are likely to feel their parental rights are being ignored/taken away just in this case.

    It does feel intrusive and weird. It's also legal, Mass v Jacobson, 1905. Although people opposed won't appreciate this, obviously the administration did some research and found a vehicle that withstands a constitutional test (at least it did with a real SCOTUS, not sure about these bozos who seem eager to upend precedent on other matters). And it's not an executive order, it will be enacted under the umbrella of workplace safety. If someone seriously fights that notion, what happens to OSHA and other workplace regulations? You do not have the right transmit a deadly virus in your workplace.

    Deliciously, if this country still had strong unions, there might be organized pushback and a coherent legal strategy against it. But the very people coming out against this vax order are the same people that helped destroy unions, or the people who supported those who helped destroy unions. Yes, the people who helped strip rights and power from workers. LOL.

    Anyway, you don't have to vax, you can choose to test weekly instead. Why isn't this reasonable? And, no, it shouldn't have come to this. But we have a sizable block of people in this country who not only won't protect themselves against the virus, but refuse to even consider that their selfishness could kill other people.

    They enjoy that their selfishness can kill people, because it's the perfect way to own the libs and say, NOBUDDUH TELLZ MEH WHUT TA DEW.

    And of course it's the antithesis of "virtue signaling."

    Freedom has never been absolute. You don’t want to vax? Fine go live amongst yourselves in a commune. You don’t get to live amongst us , where you get internet and porn , etc.

    Sticking a swab up your nose for 20 seconds a week shouldn't be a big deal.

    Honest question: Do you think anyone receiving welfare, food stamps or Medicaid should be cut off if they don’t get a vaccine?
