Why do we have to go to the hamburger, and select news, then go to the question of the day, to find the question of the day? Why is it no longer on the main display? Something funny going on in my opinion.

Either in person or money should be refunded. give students the service they paid for!

1) There is no legal recourse if something goes wrong. 2) These dangerous gene therapies have never been tried before. 3) The chief executive does not make laws. 4) Something needs to happen to Joe Biden.

Max

Biden has no authority to do this, and he will soon find that out.

Larry Sabulsky

Mandates need to go away. Freedom needs to return.

Paul Hamby

not the role of the federal government. the mandate is unconstitutional and that is the question the high court should be answering

Fredrick Green

It's not the government's job to tell someone to get a vaccination. While I promote getting the vaccine it is up to the person to make their decision on receiving the vaccine.

Jacob G

It is now known public info that the vaccines do not prevent the vaccinated from spreading COVID19. Therefore the mandate, targeting only the unvaxxed for weekly testing does not stop the vaccinated from workplace spread.

Lisa Gore

It is illegal for the government to claim they are smarter than every citizen in the US for making our own sound intelligent medical decisions like they have a conservatorship over us. It’s called Parens Patrae, also the Brandon-admin lawyer said the unvaxed are a threat to vaxed=vaxes dont work🇺🇸

Employers are expected to provide a safe working environment. Employers providing health insurance benefit will have tor raise premiums or stop offering all together.

Max

Forcing a person to inject a foreign substance into their body, is not providing a safe work environment for that person, or for anyone else. It is also unconstitutional.

Buy your masks locally. Amazon has enough of our money

We HAVE to break the cycle of this thing mutating over & over, or it WILL become a much deadlier variety if we don't. A well-fitting mask over our faces (plus better handwashing, avoiding touching our faces, social distancing, and staying home when sick) will do that! DO IT!

Many people continue to either not wear masks or stick with the cloth masks that were recommended earlier in the pandemic.

Everyone, is already exposed to this virus. The masks, are only a flag of surrender, for the weak and insecure. It's time we move on with life.

Lisa Gore

Why support masks at all, CV is smaller microns than even an N95, there is literally no mask that protects against CV...but ask your local testing location how they test for variants when the rapid test is only 64% effective at detecting CV at all.

Lisa Gore

They don’t work.

Max

The masks, are useful at controlling the sheeple, and for covering ugly faces. Useless, for all other applications.

Cindy Lou Smith

I have cloth masks

Vicki Mansfield

I wear a cloth mask to save medical grade for the medical workers

Max

Menards has loads of N95 masks. Please support your community.

Lisa Gore

Cloth masks are virtually useless. It’s sad people still believe they work...if you can smell smoke while wearing your mask it’s not working for viruses or anything else...but you think you’re doing the “right” thing...just live your life!
