No. This is NOT political. Do not permit the right wing to frame it that way. Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #28
I don't tolerate it. It's not political with us, just with the right wing morons Walleye Sep 2021 #31
It is not political - PERIOD. Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #32
OK have it your way. Nobody is involving any politics in this situation Walleye Sep 2021 #34
I didn't say no one was involving politics - Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #35
Good luck with that.So we appeal to their civic duty and their conscience? Doubt that works Walleye Sep 2021 #36
No. We take control of the conversation. Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #37
Well I wish science would solve the problem of deliberate ignorance Walleye Sep 2021 #38
There is nothing wrong with mandates. Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #46
I agree. But we're not dealing with rational minds. I prefer not to listen to them at all Walleye Sep 2021 #48
That's fine, too. Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #49

Then why did he just say employers of 100 and above? former9thward Sep 2021 #15
Not really. Only 2% of companies have more than 100 employees, but they account for about 65% of the Dream Girl Sep 2021 #19
It leaves about 40-50 million people not covered. former9thward Sep 2021 #25
An estimated 100 M are covered, but only 80M Americans a unvaxed Dream Girl Sep 2021 #27
