Knowing full well that if Biden and the Democrats were to be more forceful this too would be useful to their evil intentions as a advantage.
Bad because you're weak or bad because you're forceful? Might as well go for forceful. You may just get some things accomplished. I knew the Repubs would try to do to Biden what they did to Obama. This time they have help from within the Democratic party.

Healthy economy --> low unemployment --> better election prospects.

Contain Covid, economy improves, leads to low unemployment.

The Repub plan is to sustain Covid (what's a few goober lives after all), stymie economy, better election prospects for opposing party.

Unless Biden comes out strong talking about this, we are done. Benghazi was a disinformation campaign, this is outright economic sabotage. So what's he waiting for? Sign from the heavens?

Start by saying the Republicans are killing their voters for political gain. Then put up some numbers. 67,000 dead from Covid in Texas so far, just under 57,000 in Florida.

Private business can only go so far mandating vaccines before they start losing employees. So start an information campaign now.

My tact would be to say go ahead and be unvax'd

Just...


Go to the back of the line for care, people who played by the rules go first.

No help with bills because of anything to do with C-19.

Suggest to Health Insurance companies to raise the rates for them too!


No unemployment when you loose you job related to C-19 issues. Not vax'd
That would be just for start.

Southwest, American airlines workers will have to get vaccinated, despite Texas order

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/1...ployees-515801

Companies are going to have to start weighing the tax advantages of operating in TX vs the craziness by the state government there. Time to pull up stakes? Elon Musk is as crazy as Gov Abbott, so perhaps he belongs there...

^^^
From the article: 'White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the federal mandates' legal mandate "unquestionable," and said Abbott is just playing politics.'

She's right and Abbott's playing the same game with the abortion issue. His base is rural, not urban. In addition, the 2024 Republican nomination is up for grabs and he sees himself as the GOP FDR.

That did it. I clicked on the link and now the ad banner at the top of the page is showing the whole lineup. Dr. Fauchi, AOC, Pelosi, the Pope and RBG. I wonder if I order now can I get the whole set by Christmas?
Thanks Chicks

I have no sympathy for them. I have it for their kids. Often married couples who shun the vaccine and get seriously ill both kick the bucket. The GOP misinformation campaign is leaving thousands of kids with only one living parent or many with no parents at all.

I also have zero sympathy for any who forgo the vaccine and suffer the consequences there after.

Read that Ky was gonna use C-19 relief funds to pay for funerals, up to 9K for those who died of the disease.

A big WTF! you thinking I say to that!!!!

If they do not have life insurance tough luck!
