Vaccine

This goes farther than what Trump ever did....he didn't threaten NY/California for not reopening. It's a dangerous escalation....the only thing holding the entire thing together at this point is federalism with leaves kind of a safety valve for liberals/conservatives and lockdowners/antilockdowners to go their own way. From the reaction on conservative twitter they are pretty much finished...finished with dialogue, finished with listening, finished with Biden....it's a dangerous turning point since no doubt it will serve as precedent on other issues.

i have a bad feeling about all this.

Are you panicking? Looks like you are panicking.

I do too. I understand politically why he did it: it's a gamble we don't have a bad winter wave and with the delta coming down he can claim credit (if we do have a winter wave, the hedge will be the courts struck it down and Rs didn't listen)....the public will generally support it (those in the lockdown camp will like it and the generally cautious 1/3 will break mostly towards him)....it gets Afghanistan off his back.

But it's a declaration of war against conservative principles (rule by democracy not EO, the ICC, federalism, personal autonomy). If the courts strike it all down quickly, maybe its salvegable. He had to climb down on the boosters after all. But seriously, if Trump had done something like this and gotten away with it in reverse it would be the end of the Republic.

It's not always politics. Sometimes it's just common sense.
 
I'll give you another chance for a straight answer -- who is it that is driving up the price?

And I'll give you the same answer: do I need to give you a basic class in economics?....because that's too much work (so pass) and without a basic understanding you won't understand.

If I don't need to give you a basic economics class, we'll approach this socratically.

You don't know who? Or are you worried about looking Izzy-like in your response about economics?
 
We don't need an economics lesson for you to explain your own post.
Again you decline to state you understand the basics of economics. I’m not going to teach it to you.

this doesn’t surprise me since you don’t seem to understand two yellows equal a red yet you are on a soccer forum
 
The reaction from r governors, the r leadership, the rank and file, the taking heads has been brutal. Almost all the r governors and several over 100 employee r sympathetic employers have vowed legal actions. If the rs weren’t confident in the Supreme Court limiting this I have no doubt we’d be in a constitutional crisis right now. Maybe that’s the point….maybe Biden thinks it’s easy to pick this fight and distract from Afghanistan if the courts will strike it down…but the way it was crafted was careful…it’s not as easy of a strike down as the rs think.
