We still live in a free country. Because even the vaccinated are still getting and spreading the newest Covid virus.

It is a fact that vaccines are not 100% effective, they only lessen the symptoms in some. It is one thing to require a vaccine that is 100% effective, but requiring a vaccine that is not close to that AND given the fact they may find another for the recent virus, it does not warrant a mandate.

Private businesses are not allowed to practice medicine, with or without a License.

what other medical procedure are mandate supporters think employers should be allowed to mandate? How about employer mandated exercise? Would that be ok too?

No job owner or business has a conservatorship over me choosing what medical therapy or gene therapy that would force me to do what they say, no right to my private health info, nor my health history. That is unconstitutional. My proof: The US Constitution.

Hey Justin, my rights are not privileges guaranteed under the constitution...perhaps you should read it. My “privileges” are your rights too! We need to all stand together against tyranny!

Mandates are bad for missourians. And vaccines don't work anyway. I am a second class citizen if businesses allowed to discriminates against me

workplaces are short-staffed enough. why give them an ultimatum to have to fire someone, reduce their workforce more and possibly have to pay unemployment benefits?

No, a private business has the right to run their business how they see fit. If a employee has a problem with it, they can go find another job. If the business suffers for it, that is the cost they have to pay.

Private businesses should have the choice of what they want to do. It's rheue business not ours If someone disagrees with that they can shop somewhere else.

You can not violate, other people's Constitutional rights, because you don't agree with them. Any American would know this.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
