General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

I am in the position of probably having to file a grievance at work. They are still making us do driving tests in the car with people who are not wearing masks.

 

[Dakstang]

And my state is number 1 right now in covid transmission percentage

 

[Dakstang]

Pretty sure it violates OSHA

There's also the NFIB v. Sebelius court case back in 2012, which basically said that Congress itself could push private businesses to enact many provisions of Obamacare or face financial penalty.

That's what questioning your beliefs is. It's taking a look at what narrative is out there, and doing some investigation of your own to come to your own conclusion.

In all honesty, have you ever done that and then actually changed your belief in something?

 

[Barry Poppins]

So if we combine those two, 1.) the state's right to create a compulsory vaccine mandate, and 2.) Congress itself being able to force private business to enact certain provisions of a health mandate. I don't see why the President himself couldn't be allowed to do so.

Plenty of times tbh. I still do so a lot. Such as how I view history.

 

[Barry Poppins]

I mean, that would be a reasonable assumption, no?

 

[Barry Poppins]

That if those two court cases are combined, then it's reasonable for a President to be able to do the same?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Just out of curiosity. Is there anything you believe in that isn't typically associated with a liberal/Democrat platform? (I've clashed with Conservative/Republican platforms on many issues for instance.)

Candace Owens basically told me in a video the other day I was a Conservative. Not directly to me, but basically.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Vaccine talks again I see.

[Dakstang]

I am conservative on social issues but a little more middle or left leaning when it comes to the economy/taxes.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

That was meant to say wasn't a con, but I think you got that.
