I think we can quite frankly make the leap from discussing vaccines to discussing vaccine mandates and their effects on employment. We seemed to handle that with the airline questions successfully. I think we can point out that there may be some impact on the world supply chain issues we've been seeing that were due to COVID as well, and those are fair game.

However, when we accuse each other of being pro-shoplifting or start discussing the need for the national guard to handle violence in Chicago, I think that's where things go too far.

At this time, employment reductions due to resistance to vaccination appears to be in the "oh, that's interesting and some effects are mildly annoying" level and not in the "it's resulting in a complete breakdown of society because nobody is working" level. That's hyperbole.

So let's discuss real effects, and tamp down the hyperbole.

The problem is, this is where it inevitably goes.

I looked back over the discussion from last night, thinking I might have been a little quick on the draw, but am now convinced that shutting down that line of discussion was the correct action.

It falls under the category heading of, "This is why we can't have nice things."

Somebody invariably takes it too far.

thanks, that's all I was saying

And if that's exactly what had been said, without all the other stuff, then I wouldn't have asked for a change in topic direction.

just trying, poorly, to illustrate a point

gotta remember, utee sides with the Michigan men 

Sorry but this is off-limits according to our administrator. I’m going to assume that rule applies equally to everyone

As he stated yesterday, nobody wants to hear the political narrative you are clearly driving here.

No mentions of shoplifting or national guard in Chicago or any other extraneous bullcrap.  (OTher than decrying the mentions of shoplifting and national guard and other extraneous bullcrap)

If you can't see the difference, then I can't help you.

Wow.  Ok, I don’t think I’m the one who needs help here but I’ll play your way. 

that means I can quote his post since it’s OK and respond to it and so I will.

Nobody came even close to accusing anyone of anything/ But you know that and I think you can do better.

Talk about hyperbole.
