Vivint capacity 13k to start playoffs

I don't think the government should have to reward people directly - public health, the safety of you and yours and getting back to a life being lived should be all the reward enough, but if that means giving someone a free grande latte or a $50 tax credit, so be it.

People seem to forget that vaccines are the reason that in countries such as ours that you don't see scores of people dying from polio, large scale measles outbreaks, mumps, hep B, etc. Not hard to read up on the impact of these archaic diseases even today in third world countries to see that vaccines aren't the devil's chemistry set.

That's the thing. Rather than try to use jackboots to get the last 30% of America vaccinated (many of whom are in minority communities) we need to be sending the vaccine overseas to people who WANT it and desperately NEED it (like India.)

I also had a friend die from covid. 50 years old. In incredible shape (looked like a body builder) with no pre existing issues.

****ing sucks

Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using JazzFanz mobile app

It got my uncle. Before his time. He was a profound influence on many people.

It also took my mom to the brink.

Covid deniers are some of the worst people among us, imo.

Oh, and some people can't take the vaccine and or the vaccine is not effective for them. People with organ transplants for instance have to take immune system blockers for the rest of their life after the transplant and the vaccine is not effective for them.

So you're taking a chance that affects more than just yourself.

How can a vaccine hurt you? If you're allergic to ingredients in the vaccine you can have a reaction which will most likely take place shortly after it is administered. If you hang out for the 15min they tell you to after the vaccine then there will be help immediately and you'll almost definitely be okay. You can have a severe reaction as your immune system responds to the vaccine. Usually not too big a deal.

What do people think a vaccine is going to do to them? The actual vaccine ingredients are in your body for a very short time, like a couple days. Then it's just your body's natural immune system working the way it is supposed to building up an immunity to a disease. It's like the most natural kind of medicine I can imagine taking.

There are some questions about how the mRNA decays.

But there are no questions about where the greater risks are. The rates of brain encephalitis alone should convince people to get the vaccine. But of course you can add like 10 other things to go along with that.

Here's the thing. It doesn't matter. You can never shove everything to zero risk. It can't be done and it would be beyond draconian to try. I'm vaccinated. People should get vaccinated. The government should offer rewards to those who get vaccinated. But, we can't force people who do not want to get vaccinated to get vaccinated, nor is it any of our business to know who is vaccinated or not.

Pssss we already have mandatory vaccinations. Have you tried registering your child for school?

And it’s absolutely within rights for private businesses to mandate vaccinations or proof of vaccinations. Don’t like it? Try another business or just get vaccinated.

Not true. The cases of polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and a host of other illnesses were virtually eradicated in the developed world until this anti-vaccine non-sense came. In the case of smallpox, it was fully eradicated; zero-risk. “Trying” used to be as simple as giving people accurate information and then they’d do the only sensible thing. And to Thriller’s point, vaccines have been mandatory to participate in society for decades.

In our stupid-*** country, I don’t know what the solution is, but there are countries in the world that basically dodged covid without having vaccines.

Glad you’re vaccinated.

It’s hyper libertarianism run amok IMO. It’s becoming more of an identify to be anti-society or counter-culture. Many now believe (falsely) that government can’t mandate or force anyone to do anything. They’ve convinced themselves that the founding fathers were a bunch of “let people do whatever the **** they want” libertarians/borderline anarchists. And it plain isn’t true.

The truth is, there’s plenty that government and private businesses force us to do or else we lose privileges. It’s part of living in a society. It’s not restrictive. Me “being compelled” to be vaccinated in order to return to work, travel, or compel a restaurant to provide me food isn’t a restriction on my freedom. Do we regard red lights as restrictions on our freedom? Could you imagine the “freedom” society would have if they were able to just skip out on obeying traffic laws?

What about restrictions on what I can dump into the sewer? Vaccination requirements in schools? It’s like people have ignored these requirements for decades and now are suddenly bothered by them.

How about private business mandates on hand washing? Are expiration dates on foods violations of freedom? How about making sure airplanes pass safety inspections or restaurants passing health inspections? Aren’t those violations of freedom?

If Biden suddenly became anti vax and Trump became pro Vax and talked about it half as much as he talks about winning the election, a lot on the right would suddenly get vaccinated. Don’t ya think?

Everything you need to know about Trump can be seen by him getting a vaccine but refusing to do it publicly.

Yep. Been pretty happy with Biden so far. He was far down my list of candidates I wanted to be President but he's killing it so far. The contrast between a patriotic, professional, adult and Trump is dramatic.

https://spectator.org/media-coverage-bidens-presidency/. Yep the contrast is astounding. Could you imagine the media coverage if all of his bungles happened under Trump. The media sets the tone and topics of discussion. This is true of sports and Politics

The source you cited is funded by the Scaife family, one of the most ardent supporters of Republicans and Donald Trump. So of course they'd take an unfavorable view of Joe Biden.

The American Spectator - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Richard Mellon Scaife - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It's hard to you seriously when the source opens up with:

Joe Biden’s presidency is spiraling out of control. By any reasonable metric he has failed as a commander in chief. He has failed on immigration, he has failed on the economy, he has failed to create jobs, he has failed on foreign policy, he has failed on handling the pandemic, he has failed to unite the country, and he has failed as a leader. But that’s not what the mainstream media would have us believe.

Failed on immigration? Failed at the economy? Foreign policy? FAILED AT HANDLING THE PANDEMIC?! LOL!

Republicans and their rich oligarchs who fund conservative think tanks and media, creating a completely disconnected from reality alternative universe is what's most astonishing to me over these past four years. I knew that Fox News and am radio was powerful and it had a great influence on people. But it's literally like 35 percent of the country is living in a completely alternative universe. It's impossible to unite the country when one third of the country and all the media they consume is bent on disunification.

Imagine how much better off our country would've been if billionaires, like the Scaifes and Murdocks, used their media sources like The American Spectator and Fox News to promote mask wearing and vaccination? Imagine how much better off our country would be today if instead of inciting disunity, insurrection, and voter suppression they supported democracy and a conservative alternative to Biden's policies?

Just one thing to nitpick here, why doesn't your source ever blame employers for offering ****** working conditions and wages?

And although there are currently 8.1 million job openings in the U.S., we somehow only managed to add 266,000 jobs in April, or nearly three-quarters of a million less than the one million that Wall Street economists were projecting. This after the March job numbers were already revised down another 140,000. Might it have something to do with Biden’s insistence that Americans receive a $300 weekly bonus check to stay home? Even those making $32,000 a year would see a raise by going on unemployment.

Why is it unemployment aid that's preventing job creation and not employers? If the American Spectator was a serious news outlet, why wouldn't they analyze the effects the pandemic has had one people?

• Why would you return to a restaurant job while the pandemic is still here and only half the population has been fully vaccinated?
• Why would you return to a restaurant job when many restaurants can only fill to a certain capacity? That means lower tips.
• Why would you return to a service job that's paying you wages that just aren't good enough? Why not wait for something better?
• Why would you return to a service job when Daycare and schools are still closed/operating at a limited capacity?
• Instead of blaming Biden and unemployment benefits, why aren't employers conducting some self-analysis to attract people to their jobs?

See, these are all issues that they could have dug into. Instead, because your source is merely a hack for the Scaife family, they blame the poorest and most vulnerable in society. Have you no shame?
