See Where 12 Million U.S. Employees Are Affected by Government Vaccine Mandates (Published 2021)

A New York Times analysis shows that thousands of public employees in every state are subject to federal, state or city vaccine mandates — but these requirements have not provided a significant boost to overall vaccination rates.

OH? WHO exactly was "forced" to get the vaccine?
Show me the evidence

And it would've been more had the Supreme Court not stepped in...

Biden announces sweeping vaccine mandates affecting millions of workers

The administration said the new mandates could affect around 100 million people, more than two-thirds of the U.S. workforce.

www.nbcnews.com

But you were ok with all mandates including vaccination or forcing people to wear masks (government telling people what to with their bodies)...

You're doing nothing but virtue signaling with the argument of government intervention qith women's bodies...if you weren't you'd have been whole hog against most of the covid mandates and restrictions...but you're a hypocrite plain and simple...

There's even restrictions nationwide as to where and how much you can drink...also where you can be intoxicated...again that's controlling what people can do with their bodies...

I guess if that's the standard normally used to judge tax cuts, then that's the standard Trump should be using when he makes the claim?

But maybe it's one of those "alternative facts" or "alternative definitions" situations. Maybe tax cuts are normally compared to GDP, but Trump is basing his claim on the huge cuts given to certain corporations or entities. He takes the one with the highest cut and considers that the "biggest in history".

Maybe it's the same with his "best economy in history". Perhaps he considers it the best because it was under HIM, even if it was not the best by any standard measures?

And I'd call it a lie except every politician makes similar claims although in reality the biggest tax cut, biggest spending increase, biggest spending cut, biggest GDP growth or biggest anything else is actually more a function of inflation vs policy. I highly suspect that politicians won't spend 10 minutes explaining that "the biggest tax cut" was based on inflation adjusted dollars from the FY '23 to FY '24 for a family of 4 making median income, but would be a smaller tax cut based on percentage of GDP and that overall tax revenues increased so you might hear the opposition party claiming that I raised taxes. In addition, corporate tax rates went up, so while you may have paid less in income taxes, you may have paid more for the cost of goods due to inflation. What you're requesting is more of something that should be covered in media, but the media will only cover things like this in a manner that fits the "We're good, they're bad" narrative.

Just butt hurt because it was too big to rig. Who want to stack the supreme court and do away with the filibuster?

I'm all for doing away with the filibuster.

LOL - if we're not in the matrix, we will be soon enough. I just want my ~30 year old body back. Time machine, AI, cybernetics - I don't care how they do it.

That would be truly awesome. Imagine C-Span running a ticker at the bottom of the screen of all the politician's donors.

I would absolutely love that...I'd even send them money to help support a donor ticker

Yeah alot of that is attributed to the drastic drop in cancer rates during covid due to reduced testing (IOW the cancer was there but didn't get tested for). Then of course the nature of cancer creates this big spike coming out of Covid and so-called "turbo cancers." I suspect the cancer rates will return to "normal" in the next few years.

Does anyone think Trump is really going to let all the Kennedy stuff out for the public?
