    you got to do better than that.
    What law or right give any business the power to demand someone take medications FJ?
    This thread as I'm reading it is an apparent attempt to stop businesses et al from demanding proof of the covid vaccine. Government shouldn't have the ability to tell a business what to do on their private property. If you're going to walk into a business you should be prepared to meet their requirement. And no, no person is property; it's what they do on a business owner's property.

    Extending that, businesses should also have the right to require employees to take certain measures. Vaccine, mask, etc.

    My wife was required to get a flu shot working in the emergency room as a nurse. There *may* be precedence here. I agree employees are not property of the employer. They are, at this point anyway, free to leave at any time.

    Plot Overview
    Summary Plot Overview
    Winston Smith is a low-ranking member of the ruling Party in London, in the nation of Oceania. Everywhere Winston goes, even his own home, the Party watches him through telescreens; everywhere he looks he sees the face of the Party’s seemingly omniscient leader, a figure known only as Big Brother. The Party controls everything in Oceania, even the people’s history and language. Currently, the Party is forcing the implementation of an invented language called Newspeak, which attempts to prevent political rebellion by eliminating all words related to it. Even thinking rebellious thoughts is illegal. Such thoughtcrime is, in fact, the worst of all crimes.

    It doesn't take long to see what is presently happening IN OUR NATION TODAY. Look at the BOLDED sentence above. SOUND FAMILIAR???
    I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.

    OK, Let's put it this way.
    What medications can't businesses require employees to take... for safety... or heck... their insurance. can't have people walking in or working that might be a danger to the bottom line. Since gov't cant tell biz what to do, right?

    And As Sassy mentioned doesn't HIPPA block Employers from even KNOWING what medications employees take?
    "Should" HIPAA be Scraped because it's a business owners property and they have RIGHT to know and FORCE/Require people take medications that are good for the business?
    ....
    Also How about this.
    If a biz does have a "right" to require a customer or employee to have a vaccine.
    Does the employer take full responsibility for any injury from those vaccines?
    Or does the RIGHT to pay for injury somehow magically fall on the gov't?
    Or the vaccine maker, even though the biz was the one that REQUIRED it's use?

    do responsibilities come with "property rights" or just rights?

    Careful rev- or else you may cause fj to blow a fuse..
    To me it is going to be very interesting to see if fj just ignores your questions that demand more than just a short, curt and false flag type of reply.
    As I've seen fj do over the years so often.
    Yes sir, this will require fj to do a bit more than the very shortest replies that fj can muster.....

    I mean fj is fully invested in whatever can and will cleverly attack "we dreaded and monstrous conservatives"-or "we that are blinded by patriotism" or "we that practice a faith" that is not -- ideologically leftist based....

    Pardon my short answers, I shouldn't have read this at 6:30 in the morning. The Homeland Security and the Chinese references threw me off.

    I think when all of this covid is behind us I don't think we're going to be talking about any real precedent happening here. But the point I was making in this thread is that it is also government overreach for them to decide to fine a business owner $5,000 for how they have chose to run their business.

    Fair question. Answer: Due to a lack of paying attention, I was outside yesterday going on a run, then mowing/trimming up the lawn. After the fact I happened to run across the weather. 97 feels like 106 heat advisory. Didn't bother me at the time, but it did exhaust me. Not exactly a teenager anymore

    I made the decision when I realized I was exhausted and in a shitty, intolerant mood that it would be in the best interest of the whole that the individual just take his ass to bed. Forcing everyone to suffer because the individual is in a pissy mood is not how I roll. It's called consideration for those around you and how individual, self-centered decisions can affect everyone around you.

    It was my choice
