Thank God I pulled my kids out of JC schools 20 years ago. All students 12 years of age or more should be vaccinated. Mandatory. All kids wear masks. Mandatory.

Sue Evans

Obviously masking is working. It's little premature to say the risk is gone.

John Starke

If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand.

Max

Mask your own children, leave the other children alone. If I have to explain that to you, you would not understand.

The Jefferson City School District removed a mask mandate for students and staff indoors effective Friday. The district said case rates were low enough to remove the requirement.

There is no evidence that they work.

There is plenty of evidence that it traumatizes many of the children.

The referees are determining the winners. The NFL has become a giant money laundering system. There is nothing there for me anymore, but I have a lot more time with my lovely wife, and our friends.

Roger Goodell gets paid $64 million dollars a year to ruin the game.

The Chief's biggest mistake was signing Taylor Swift. That's when it all went South, and now the team is moving West.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

JIC CoMo

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
