We will fight this authoritarian bullshit. We have already filed a federal lawsuit this morning. dailywire.com/news/breaking-…

This isn't about whether vaccines are good. There is no bigger fan of vaccines than I. This is about whether Americans ought to have liberty, or whether administrative tyranny ought to rule our lives.

This fight on behalf of the liberty of our employees is expensive and time-consuming. We truly need your help. Please become a member at Dailywire.com/subscribe with code DONOTCOMPLY for 25% off.

So, OSHA is promulgating this insanely authoritarian regulation on an emergency temporary basis. They're seeking to make a rule permanent. Here are the questions they are asking about when formulating a permanent rule:

1. Forcing it on employers with under 100 employees.
2. Forcing fully vaccinated people to be masked.
3. No exceptions for prior immunity.
4. Getting rid of testing as an alternative to vaccination.
5. Testing more than weekly.
6. Higher standards for masks.

7. Social distancing, physical barriers, and further ventilation requirements.
In other words, this is only the beginning of the authoritarianism. If made permanent, the OSHA rule would be far more onerous. They could push a national vaccination AND mask mandate.

According to @MartyMakary, a grand total of 10-20 children without significant pre-existing conditions have died of covid-19 in the United States over the entire course of the pandemic.

I have kids who are 7, 5, and 1. I get the case for vaccinating -- I'm extremely pro-vaccination generally. We also have no longitudinal data on this vaccine for kids; we also know that the government is pushing two shots, but most myocarditis in teens is showing up in shot 2.

@MartyMakary

The risk from serious covid problems for young children is very low. It might be right for your kids -- maybe with one dose, as @MartyMakary suggests -- but it might not. This is not clear-cut like being 75+. I greatly fear that the mandate push will extend to this age group.

Here's your monthly reminder that blaming covid rather than covid policy for low growth is idiotic. Of the 23 best states in terms of unemployment rate, 17 are red, four are purple, two are blue. Of the worst 10 states+DC, 9 are blue, one is purple. bls.gov/web/laus/laums…

Biden had to use covid panic porn to explain why he was pushing record taxation, spending, and regulation, and to excuse his own failures. That covid panic porn is now a psychological addiction for blue areas of the country.

If the current pandemic is a pandemic of the unvaxxed, generally located in red areas, the current economic stagnation is a stagnation of the covid panicked, who are generally located in blue areas.

Democrats and media explicitly wish to avoid neutral, transparent regulation of Facebook. Instead, they want an agency that will act as a sort of super-CEO of the company. They're not hiding the ball on this. The goal is control of informational dissemination.

And the so-called "whistleblower" -- who isn't blowing the whistle at all -- is also not hiding the ball. She wishes to be the super-CEO herself!

Here's a direct quote from Haugen: "And there needs to be a regulatory home where someone like me could do a tour of duty after working at a place like this and have a place to work on things like regulation..."

This piece is fascinating. The data it cites suggest that political polarization per se isn't the cause of anti-democratic attitudes among Americans -- that we're not willing to overthrow checks and balances because we hate our neighbors. nytimes.com/2021/09/29/opi…

So if political polarization isn't the reason we're willing to overthrow elections and jettison checks and balances, what is? I'd suggest that it has to do with our shifting attitudes toward human nature and political power.

The founding fathers believed, correctly, that humans were capable of great things, but were also venal, ambitious, foolish and shortsighted -- neither angels nor devils. But now we believe that the right human beings can be angels, if only we shift our social structures.
