Can’t wait to see the epic implosion of the QOP in 2024.

i just realized why

... But just because the Constitution permits the government to require vaccines does not necessarily mean that the Labor Department may, as Biden says it will, issue a binding rule requiring large employers to encourage vaccination. The Labor Department may only act pursuant to an act of Congress. So unless Congress passes a new law, the department must rely on an existing statute if it wishes to regulate employers.

There is a strong argument, however, that the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH) permits the Labor Department to act. Among other things, that law permits the secretary of labor to issue an “emergency temporary standard” regarding workplace health or safety if they determine that “employees are exposed to grave danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful,” and that such a standard is “necessary to protect employees from such danger.”...

It's sad that an elected official thinks she can have a bigger impact with a gun than her vote.

It's sad that an elected official thinks she can have a bigger impact with a gun than her vote.

It's sadder that it's so commonplace as to be unremarkable, in that (eventually) it's a mathematical certainty that among the hundred of thousands of people who see that ad, one of them will take the message literally.

The Biggest Revelations in “Peril” Are Really About the Republican Party’s Future

Complicity—rather than defiance—is the main message of the new book, by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa...

gonna be an interesting decade.

we've got to do something to control debt. Allowing default has drastic consequences though.

[zsn]

This is a case of bothsiderism, although the Dems never railed about debt and deficits. One way to control the debt would be to not pass tax cuts for the rich and corporations without spending offset. Every a$$hole who voted for the tax cut voted not to pay for it.


The best way to deal with this, according to the flaming liberal David Brooks, is to eliminate the debt limit or raise it to a gajillion dollars.

[ousdahl]

Warren Buffett of all people suggested we pass a law that says no sitting congressman can run for re-election unless they pass a balanced budget. That might nip it in the bud.
