So you are for the federalization of the private sector? |

It's our government printing money like it goes out of style. First for Covid measures and recovery (some of these "measures" IMHO were a waste of money) and now spending billions to arm Ukraine, later it will be billions to help rebuild Ukraine when nobody else will be paying Ukraine nearly as much. I bet you Russia will pay squat in reparations as their economy is down the toilet, and Europe will pay even less, our taxpayers will be footing that hefty bill. Ukraine has become a money pit for us. I know it's convenient to just blame it all on Russia, but we are dumping money into this war as if Ukraine is our 51st state. |

How to stop a runaway train? IDK, how about build some breaks, but I suppose that time for this has passed and we are f-ed. We have no control over what we already spent and the money we printed. All we can do is try to be more conservative about spending in the future. |

Not at all. These do not need to be federalized. An "operation warp speed" of sorts. The regulations that the feds have put in place are slowing things down. And, Biden's EO's. |

You've made the point better than I ever could. You (and the GOP) have no plan. No solution. Thanks for admitting it, at least. |

If operation warp speed wasn’t done we wouldn’t have had the vaccine that liberals love. I remember when it came out democrats were against the vaccine, then when January 2021 came around we literally had them change their talking points. Bidenomics and the shutdown of the economy didn’t help. Inflation took off and there was no response from the administration. |

Trump shut down the economy. That was under his watch. The Pfizer vaccine wasn’t operation warp speed. Democrats have never at any time been against a tested and vetted vaccine. No one wanted a shot that Trump pushed through solely for his political expedience. All his big talk about demanding drugs being approved on his schedule undermined confidence in anyone with critical thinking skills. |

MANDATES introduced by democratic governments is what undermined confidence in anyone with critical thinking skills. If you don't understand the harm that indiscriminatory mandates have caused to ruin our trust in many health institutions and local governments (and federal government - hello botched OSHA mandates) then you need to work on your own critical thinking skills. Vaccine was released whenever it was released, many of us were skeptical, INCLUDING Kamala Harris who spoke about being cautious to take such a rushed medical intervention. But there were millions eagerly waiting for it, especially those high risk and those with anxiety who just couldn't move on with out it. These people consented to take this intervention and were happy with having received it. Had we stopped right there and focused on making high risk groups vulnerable (eldery, obese, those with specific pre-existing conditions) we would have gotten more of them vaxed and it wouldn't have been so politicized to the point where it caused a major rift in our social fabric. But democrats decided to push collectivist agenda where we should feel good submitting our bodies to whatever needs to be injected for the "greater good" and because it's good for us. Whoever was skeptical at that point became even more skeptical. |

Anyone with critical thinking skills knows that the vaccine is safe. There are reams of evidence to support that conclusion. But, I appreciate your admission in that incoherent word salad of yours that you just don't like being told to do your part in helping the country get over this. How pathetic. I hope your fee-fees heal one day. These must be trying times for you. |

No one has mandated I be vaccinated. I have had a choice. Everyone has a choice. |

I am not GOP, I am an independent voter who used to be a lifetime Democrat. Democrats screwed up badly. |

Can I please join you in your bunker where you had been hiding from reality? Tons of people were coerced and even fired for not getting vaccinated. Medical workers, federal employees and contractors, city and local government workers in big democrat run cities, transportation employees were all under mandates. Even if these mandates were disputed at some point in some states, people still got strong armed into taking the shots because of the threat of not only losing a job but losing your entire career. General population of democrat run cities were coerced with vaccine passports and excluded from most public indoor life. In places like NYC there are STILL All Private Employer vax mandates for any size small business of any industry, practically prohibiting anyone unvaxed from being able to work in NYC unless they qualify for hard to get exemptions or have lenient company not enforcing it where they can fly under the radar. In NYC, and I think also in SF there were vaxxports for little kids 5+ for whom the vax is still EUA to play sports, attend any childhood activity, dine indoors with their vaxed parents, attend bday parties in kid venues, etc. Please tell me now that I am lying and NONE of this happened or is happening and that everyone had a choice. |

Operation Warp Speed had NOTHING to do with getting the Pfizer vaccine tested and into the system. It was vaporware of government speak. A PR stunt. |

You have the right to change jobs if your employer is trying to mandate something. You have the right to order from Amazon and have things delivered if you aren't willing to be vaccinated to protect front line workers at a grocery store. |

Were you this concerned about it when Trump was president and the unfinded tax bill exploded debt and deficit spending? Because most of the GOP sure didn't care. At least when the Dems do it, there is some societal benefit, like healthcare or infrastructure. |
