Hello tigerred59,
Dude, its not about the vaccine, its not about anything save for the fact, this country since Trump; has shown the world time and time again, over and over, we are a nation of piss poor ignorant stupid mf's that would rather rally for a corrupt immoral clown, its morally corrupt politicians and stand for nothing, as long as a democrat holds power in this country. For these worthless stupid mf's to turn on teachers and healthcare workers, just because.....makes my stomach turn and I live for the day, these losers...all just simply drop the fuck dead.
I disagree. Having a portion of the populace drop dead would not be a good thing at all. All the functions they provide for society would be halted. The dependents they provide for would be left without. That would be a devastating impact on the economy. It would cause a depression. It is nothing to wish for.
Holding power is not the goal. It is what is to be done with the power. Democrats seek to do good things for society, to have our government care about individuals. We are a great country because we have a big powerful government. We would be nothing without our big powerful government. If we just get government out of the way and let capitalists do as they please things would be a lot worse. There would be no minimum wage. Minimum wage is a Democratic idea that set a bottom floor for how much a worker can be paid.
Greedy capitalists would love to pay people less than minimum wage. The only reason that doesn't happen is because it is against the law. It's like they are saying to the workers: "I respect you so little that I would totally exploit all of your available time and pay you so little that you can't even live on it, and the only reason I don't do that is because it is against the law."
We have our big powerful government to stand between the greed of selfish powerful people and responsible caring people who simply want to work, be paid a reasonable wage, and be good citizens and members of a strong functioning community.
Most people simply want to be a productive member of society, doing their part. It is the selfish and the greedy that mess things up.
A pandemic response must be a centrally coordinated organized effort. Nobody can stop a pandemic on their own. It takes all of us. We have to work together as part of an organized, well thought out plan.
That is why we have distancing, masks, and vaccines.
Every pandemic in history has had people who resist the needed mandates. What we are seeing is nothing new.
The sooner we can grind this resistance down, the sooner we can put this thing in the rear view mirror.
We will beat this pandemic.
These measures are not the new normal forever.
We all need to do our part, and together we will prevail.
