That’s the point of the great reset.

Unless your willing to do a military style lock everyone in their homes then it doesn’t matter!

Too little too late? "Hey we've kept you afloat for the last year....deal with it."

I know JetBlue has come out publicly against such a mandate.
We have reached peak stupid. If you are going to do this you better do it with trains and busses. Heck just close the borders to each state. Why pick on just the airlines. Just stop all travel for 2 weeks and call it Covid freeze tag.

Im sure that’s what they are thinking....but....way less people are flying because of Covid. You know what they are doing.....driving. Just set up a roadblock welcome to Delaware please pull over for your rapid Covid test.

In case someone missed the headline...”You’ll own nothing, and be happy.” But also, the image of a forest that says “An occasional treat, not a staple”.

Bottom line is...this is happening, this is going to be shoved down your throat whether you like it or not.

Not if Texas has anything to say about it. We’re about ready to pack up our toys and leave...🤣 New Hampshire you coming with? We got room in the truck. The big old gas guzzling truck. The one towing the cattle. The cattle we’re going to eat.

Yeah but what will you do with all the newly imported liberals from California and New York? You know the ones who couldn't stand the madness in their state any more but they will come to yours and vote in the same idiots.

plus interstate travel in your car. Every state will have a covid border patrol.. I get the temporary international testing requirement even though you can drive across the border from Mexico without a required test.. all to distract from the rapidly decreasing cases around the world. Forget telling the good news, there is this really bad strain in whatever country they choose today.
