The vaccine mandate, if not stopped by the Supreme Court, would have cost me my job.
When you compare reality to what mainstream news and governments justification was, it's clear government is being bought off. I don't like that. I expect a little backscratching here and there but that's going too far.
The vaccine mandate is something you SHOULD be paying attention to.. That does affect you on a significant level.
I understood the gov mandate, understood why they did it and I did not object... but I would have taken another path if it had been up to me. You see, there are a lot of stupid people in this country and what the gov did with the mandate, was to protect those people from their own ignorance. Because the other option(s) was to either 1) Let the hospital system collapse or 2) Deny hospitalization to anyone not vaccinated.
Personally, I would have gone with #2.. If you show up sick with covid to the hospital and you are NOT vaccinated, you'll be turned away to make room for people who are vaccinated.. and furthermore, if we do have a bed available, your insurance would not be required to cover it.
I'm a big fan of personal responsibility.... and personal reward or consequences based on those choices.
Same thing with Global Warming and the self-flagulating crowd who thinks it's a problem. It's not. The financial sector wants to sink its claws into oil money and carbon credits. The problems will come when government and the populace starts to acquiesce just like with covid.
That's your ignorance talking. Go to school, get an education in science so you understand how everything around you works.. and after 4 to 6 years, when you have a basic to semi-advanced understanding of physics, then we can talk.. Until then, you're not espousing your own opinion because you're not qualified or educated enough to have an opinion.. You're parroting the opinion someone else gave you.
You don't find it odd that all your supposedly "personal" opinions line up with the conservative politics? That should be a hint. Your opinions are all handed to you, as they are most of the conservative uneducated crowds.
I agree you're not worried about government corruption and things like border control, taxation and pandemic restrictions.
Corruption is everywhere.. always has been, always will be. Our government is organized in such a way as to minimize it, and the system mostly works very well.. far better than any other country.
Border control? ROFLMAO. our borders have been open for 200+ years.. why the concern of the past 10 years all of a sudden? What changed? I never heard a word about it in the 70's, 80's or 90's.. Not until Obama's years did the conservatives create a stink and tell you it was an issue.
Heck, maybe you enjoy open borders, vaccine mandates, the president collecting foreign bribes through fake shell corporations and the fear mongering around climate change.
So if you're not worried about those things and are super busy, why are you worried about people who are concerned about those things?
Open borders isn't an issue. Already covered vaccine mandates.
Fear mongering? You mean like a president standing up and claiming "If you don't vote for me, you won't have a country" ??
You really need to go to college, read more books.. At least pick up a few books about political manipulation..
