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

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.

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.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
