Before vaccines were available, one United Airlines employee per week was dying of Covid. Since instituting a vaccine mandate, they report that none of their employees has died of Covid.

I guess I'm just old fashioned in that I think employers should be legally obligated to take reasonable steps to honor their workers' right to not needless die on account of their working conditions.

It was 7 years ago today
Sergeant Prepper taught the band to play
They've fired up the rank and file
And they're guaranteed to raise some bile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've know for all these years
Sergeant Prepper’s Fashy Fart Sound Stans
What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me? Image
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers who taught me were cool
Now we're holding you down
Turning you 'round
Filling you up with our rules Image

In 1866, Oregon ratified the 14th Amend. This provoked a backlash against an increasingly "tyrannical" fed gov't that was too friendly to black Americans. The backlash led to Oregon rescinding ratification in 1868. OR re-ratified the 14th Amendment in May of 1973. [Not a typo.]
Orange Jacobs, an OR Republican, lambasted those who "affrighted at the idea of a negro voting. Negro equality is their dread. If he is enfranchised they're perfectly certain that they will be compelled to sleep w/ him. You may as well bay at the moon as to reason with such men."
The question of ratification was entirely symbolic in that it still applied in the state from 1868 to 1973 despite ratification being rescinded. But still...symbolism matters.

Another doozy from the great patriotic conservative lovers of American history who don’t know the most basic facts about it.
The low hanging fruit of “racist Democrat Stephen Douglas” was right there for the taking too.
They say you can teach the Declaration of Independence, but I dunno, sounds kinda divisive to me. ImageImage

The alchemy through which the GOP transforms Carlyle Group multi-millionaires into regular guy, outsider populists is truly a wonder to behold. washingtonpost.com/local/virginia…
Today's update on the "moderate" Youngkin.
Who better to help the GOP rebrand as the party of the working class, the party of angry white suburban parents, and the party of anti-foreign intervention than a guy who made hundreds of millions off of (in part) defense contracting?

Orval Faubus/Ross Barnett 2024!
Joke. This is a joke.
If only George McGovern had chosen Strom Thurmond as his running mate he could have beaten Nixon!

Voter ID laws are a "solution" to a non-existent problem. It's like saying "it would be terrible if Emus were driving cars, so let's pass a law saying you have to carry proof you're not an Emu in order to drive a car. Who could disagree with banning Emus from driving?"
Surely this is a coincidence. ImageImage
Anyway, the GOP that hates it when liberals overgovern by passing laws to solve non-existent problems seems to be very fixated on passing voter ID laws that are designed to "solve" a non-existent problem (other than the "problem" of too many non-white people voting, of course).
