I'm the only "pure blood" candidate...

It does not appear you are able to defend your position on merit. Why bother starting a discussion?

I see nothing unreasonable with the quote below. Would you say that ones right to bodily autonomy is worth defending?

"The COVID vaccines were experimental vaccines which were forced on Americans," Singh's campaign told Newsweek in a statement, "and I am the only candidate who did not capitulate but defended our freedoms and stood with the large number of Americans who opposed what can be called government tyranny."

 

Yes if all you're worried about is death you'd have a point. By the way electric cars and hybrids do have a distressing tendency to catch on fire all by themselves.

 

Singh who?

 

Nobody I know was forced, except for a few friends in the medical front lines. I wasn’t, nor the kids, in laws, etc…. This forced canard is old. You have a choice to not engage in activities where vaccination was required.

 

This is why you talk to your physician personally and not someone who is on TV, radio, or the internet giving mass nonspecific information, especially for political purposes. For each person is different.

If yoiu need quadruple bypass surgery, your heart is in pretty poor shape to begin with. By not having the surgery, you will definitely not live long. If you have the surgery, and it is successful, you might be able to live another 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years or more, depending how old you are, how much you follow the post op instructions, and how well you take your meds, among other things. And yes, death may occur, but the doctors are experts in making sure the keep that risk at a minimum. And that is the point. All procedures/vaccines/medications have potential side effects.

 

For the sake of honest discussion, we have to acknowledge the fact that students could not attend school without showing proof of consuming this product. First responders were given an ultimatum and those they serve were left with fewer responders.

There are many more examples of overreach. Having to choose between consuming this product of being fires is not a choice. Using your "activities" argument, you admitted to a loss of freedom just so big pharma can profit from their inferior product.

Females can always "choose" not to engage in "activities" that will result in an unwanted pregnancy. Does that justify the overreach from the right?

Your attempt to trivialize the truth for the purpose of defending abuse of power comes nowhere close to justifying these actions.

 

I hear you, and don’t disagree. Im not sure how I’d handle things I’d my husband and I had a small “xyz,” shop with two employees. My husband has a degenerative disease, so he has to be rather careful. I think he should have the right to tell the cashiers to vaccinate.

As far as I know, these were private employers. Last I heard, even the CDC didn’t get 100% participation from their employees. Biden attempted to mandate, but it was shot down. That would definitely been overreach.

I think any school mandates were stupid.

I respect your right to run your business as you see fit. I don’t know how to give your business autonomy while having government mandate that you don’t mandate what your employees must do for what you feel is best for the health of the company.

Some act as if this was some local thing where 100 people died. This was the entire world. We are in the neighborhood of 5.5 billion people who have been vaccinated. That’s around 70% of living humans. The disease is no longer a global threat. People who get it won’t get as sick because the viral load is so small, compared to when we first started dealing with it.

So, I am against government mandates, but not against a private employer setting policy that helps achieve herd immunity.

 

First, I wish your husband the highest quality of life possible.

Second, no, making employees choose between their jobs and consuming an experimental pharma product is no more acceptable than insisting they change to your religion. Results show that the product does not protect against secondary infections. If it did, I would have consumed it.

If your husband (god forbid) needed emergency medical attention, is he better off with fewer paramedics, longer wait times, and fewer staff working in the ER?

Here in CA, mom-n-pop shops were forced to close their doors while people could crowd WalMart to buy the exact same item at a much higher risk. Since small businesses don't wield political power, they were not deemed "essential".

We agree on government mandates.

 

All I keep hearing from the right, especially about minimum wage, is, if you don’t like the wages, go work somewhere else. They bitch nonstop about the same employers not having other sorts of rights.

We need consistency, here. The American taxpayers subsidize Walmart’s wages through food stamps for their full time employees. If Walmart can decide that, than Mr Mom n Pop should be allowed to hire whomever they want; nobody owes you a job.

 

They have a point. In Los Angeles. Min wage is $16.04. These workers get paid and have to buy what they need from businesses also paying their employees a high min wage. The worker is no better off and the only one getting a raise is the tax man. Reducing their reasonable objection to "bit&#ing doesn't change results. (And is a bit sexist) WalMart is not the only giant wielding political power.

BTW, I support subsidies for low wage workers, as long as they decrease over time.

Any candidate strongly opposing the abuses of power we saw during Covid is someone I would consider voting for.

 

Abuses of power? A businessman who rapes his secretary is abusing power and breaking the law. Asking her to wear a mask? Lol.

It’s amazing how Costco can pay their lowest paid employee over $15, and yet their prices remain low and their quality remains high. Weird, that. Perhaps money isn’t the only factor to this equation.

 

I haven't heard the term "secretary" since I was a kid. I do go to Costo, but will never walk into a WalMart.

 

Yup. Me too. Guess which pays and treats their employees like doo doo? Guess which is paying decent wages and not asking taxpayers to supplement their labor costs?

Nothing wrong with the word secretary.

 

I don't see anything wrong with it, but it is no longer politically correct.

 

Yeah, I’m over having to change the language every five minutes to suit someone’s hurt feelings. Are we still allowed to use AA, or are they executives in charge of the office of the executive?
