What's this?

Yeah, well so would my sister, but she isn't in government and thus

we are not at risk of her establishing a brownshirt brigade. In terms of dems in positions of power, none are mentioning lockdowns for the unvaxxed, vaxxed, or anyone in between. God willing it stays that way.

Businesses are run by individuals. A CEO or a board under pressure to implement ways to bring their businesses back are all individuals who's rights to run businesses as they see fit were under assault by our governor of the hour.

Not to mention the rights of would-be passengers who'd like the opportunity to cruise again with what they view as minimal risk of any of the cruising nightmares seen at the start of the pandemic.

IMO, things like this are the true examples of virtue signaling to a rabid base. And most certainly are attempts to infringe on the rights of individuals.
