    @Jolly said in Meanwhile, in New York...: @LuFins-Dad said in Meanwhile, in New York...: @Jolly said in Meanwhile, in New York...: @LuFins-Dad said in Meanwhile, in New York...: The act has been successfully invoked in a range of COVID-19-related cases. Workers who injected a child with a COVID-19 vaccine without parental consent, for instance, recently won the dismissal of a lawsuit by citing the law. This is extremely troubling to me. Still think that “public health” supersedes our basic rights, Jolly? Yes, I do. But there is a difference between transmission and treatment. Stop right there. The forced vaccination without parental consent is a transmission issue. Do you believe that the threat of transmission supersedes the personal and parental rights? In some cases, yes. COVID is not a good example because of the novel nature of the vaccine. Smallpox is. Polio is. COVID is the only example as that is specifically what we are discussing. But, Polio Vaccines are not mandatory. Nor are Small Pox. There are requirements for public schools and other such mandates, which is fine, but not enforced vaccination.

    @89th said in The Subsidized Meal: How are there still websites like this in 2024? This reminds me of 1998. The areas in yellow are article contents as you scroll along, everything else is an ad. [image: 1716392988524-fdd2d175-441d-44ec-acd1-c0b130898674-image.png] Is that yellow journalism?

    Am I the only one that didn't expect a human to appear coming out of the bin itself? On a list of crimes, folks taking clothes from a donation bin is probably at the bottom, if a crime at all. I couldn't care less where my clothes go once donated, glad they go towards someone in need. (Not commenting on their ownership of an SUV or their ingenuity that could be applied towards a job...)

    @kluurs said in Strategic Reserve. Again.: Per my oil industry guy, Congress required the closure of the reserve, having cut funding for the reserve. Yup, the NJ and Maine reserves are closing (opened in 2014).

Ask him. Or go research.

    Fox is stepping down as States Attorney in C(r )ook County. Her protege lost her election to someone who is much more focused on prosecuting crime.

    She's getting five years in prison, though probably will serve a fraction of that. Link to video Nate the Lawyer, this youtuber, is a fairly clear-thinking guy on most issues. His last point about how they must have hired her only because she is a black female, rather than for her ability, seems ridiculous to me. I am sure they thought she had ability during the interview process. I mean, to the extent there is such a thing as "ability" when it comes to being a diversity officer.
