You're going to fall on your sword over this ONE thing when the government already mandates that you: Register your car and pay taxes, register yourself and be licensed to drive. Pay federal and state taxes. Educate your kids, dont steal (etc etc on all of the laws). Hell the government even mandates that you go have a doctors exam every 6 months! Thats a serious infringement on liberty. I could go on and on. Without getting political, I wonder if this one mandate is becoming such a rallying cry simply because its coming from a Democrat in the White House in a time of unprecedented national political division.

I knew of a guy (disclaimer: details maybe not exact) years ago who was a sim instructor making upward of 250k. He was anti government and anti tax. He evaded paying taxes for years until Uncle Sam caught up with him. Rather than paying back taxes and settling, he fled during his court proceedings and was on the lam for several years. He was eventually caught and was living in someones basement working incognito in the service industry. Spent some time in jail and doesnt have a pot to **** in. I just dont get that.

Living well is the best defense. The vaccines may or may not be incredibly effective but the dangers are minuscule compared to Covid. I know of no one who has even had a serious complication. I know of a half dozen people who either died or almost died from Covid. I'd seriously consider this decision. You have 13 years left to make buttloads of money and retire a millionaire. Or you can throw it all away over the latest in a lifetime worth of mandates that you have been, and will continue to live under for the rest of your life. Seems like a rethink is seriously in order to me...

Good luck either way.

If they can mandate what goes into your body, then they can mandate what comes out too.
I guess that whole right to be secure in your person and effects from unreasonable government intrusion kinda missed you.

Rickair is the most active and opinionated mod.

He is the one who issued my ban.
I feel he isn’t fit to be a mod

I don’t understand what is so hard for people to understand, Freedom of speech protects your right to criticize your government without fear of punishment from your Government. A private message board like this does not fall under any of that.
