Oh my, omicron: New Kansas bill protects 'right to die.' Why is GOP on COVID's side?

Viruses mutate to survive. Generally speaking, so do politicians.

With omicron, the new, highly mutated COVID-19 “variant of concern” alarming the markets and the epidemiologists, it shouldn’t be impossible to imagine that Republicans could make one more shift.

In recent years, they’ve abandoned their long-standing support for free trade and NATO, smiling on as Donald Trump repeatedly sided with Vladimir Putin over our own intelligence community.

Now the previously pro-business party is telling Mom and Pop that they can’t fire people who pose a health risk to their co-workers and customers.

of Covid than Dem voters. And even more are suffering long Covid and all the medical and lost work costs of a chronic illness. But they have become masters of short term thinking so not a surprise I suppose.
