I'm an optimist, so I hope it will work, but I'm glad it involves those of us who are already vaccinated.

Corey Smith

Missourians can get encouraged to get a vaccine.

It remains to be seen how much the program will move Missouri's low vaccination rate of about 40%.

Eighty percent of the people are wise enough to know that they should not risk their health or their life, on a chance to win a prize that they will not win.

Melanie Cusick

Yet not wise enough to know they should not risk their life on the chance that this is all a lie. There's more likelihood they would win a drawing than there is that all those videos of Dead People Trucks outside of hospitals are fake.

Melanie Cusick

Every forum I see discussing this, anti vaxxers are saying "being bribed won't change my mind."

Adam Schrader

Won't work because to many Mirrourians are morons

Melanie Cusick

Not sure what correlation max is making between "moron" and "liberal city." The map of states with low Vax rates and high cases correlate to Red States. Who's the moron- risking certain death to covid, or risking *maybe* unknown outcomes from the vax? I'd say avoid death now but I'm a libtard.

Max

And most of them live in liberal cities.

Sports betting app companies now control all professional sports outcomes.

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.

Fred

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.
