I like that thinking. Well if they cannot require a vaccine passport they could require a negative Covid test for anyone entering and then say if you show proof of vaccination you are exempt from the test requirement. Problem solved. Then the company is not requiring anyone to get the vaccine to get in. Executive order defeated. Mickey Mouse one, Governor Ron zero
It starts with requiring a vaccine. It ends with a totalitarian dictatorship. Ask anyone who’s lived in Cuba or Russia for more than 50 years. You give them an inch they take a mile. Papers, please.

I'm pretty sure that totalitarian states in Cuba and Russia didn't start out with private businesses mandating things from their customers. If we were talking about the Florida government *requiring* vaccine passports, you might have an argument. But here we're talking about the Florida government interfering in the right of a business to make their own decisions. The anti-big government stance is for the government to stay out of it and let the businesses do what they want.
Hang on. Just to make sure I understand... the people who refuse to get a vaccine due to it lacking FDA approval (or some other reason) ... they only pose a threat to other non-vaccinated people, correct? What would vaccinated people have to fear?
Yeah, how dare they want healthy and vaccinated people in certain spaces with other healthy and vaccinated people so we can stop a pandemic.
I haven't had a chance to look into it yet, but under our constitution, the legislative branch makes the laws and the executive branch enforces them. Chief executives like the president and governors can issue executive orders, but those orders need to derive from specific authority and are limited in scope. Should be interesting to see how this develops.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Biden lost traditional swing states Florida and Ohio by 3.36% and 8.03% respectively. He flipped Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin by only 0.30%, 0.23%, 1.17%, and 0.63% respectively. So he has no margin for error if he wants to win re-election. Considering the virus probably won him the election, I’d expect the handling of easing restrictions to be very political.
Oh for chrissake.
As I said in another thread, I'm still the optimist on this. I think that by summer, we are going to see enough people vaccinated that case numbers plummet and society can go back to normal without the risks that you are concerned about. So, yes, I think that we could see a Walt Disney World free of masks, social distancing, and other restrictions by Fall. But that's because I think the situation will be good enough to warrant that.
I mean the American Rescue Plan has broad bipartisan support and the upcoming infrastructure bill is a hit in swing states
Well, that's the theory. I'm not sure it's actually played out that way over the past year.
Yep, nailed it. This is about as bizarre a stance as one could take...but the train has left the station and its all filled up with crazy. Funny how his stance on capacity limits for restaurants or mask mandates is that the government should not be involved in telling a business how they should operate....unless the thing the business wants to do is opposed by a large number of my supporters than I’m fine with using an executive order to tell businesses how to operate. Classic politician
You’re only looking at half of it. The potential law would prevent local governments from enacting vaccine passport mandates. Requiring vaccine passports to enter a private business creates a class division. Just like how a business cannot discriminate based off race and gender, they shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate based off vaccination. Everyone should be allowed to play a part in society.
Umm... you do realize you are required to have an official photo ID to buy an annual pass or alcohol at Disney right?
Vaccine passports are worthless when it comes to variants. They aren't happening. End of story. So you can stop screaming in the streets that the boogeyman is out to get us all (COVID already did).
Don't feed the trolls.
The bill had 0 Republican votes in the house or senate and even had a Democrat vote no in the houses. Technically speaking that’s bipartisan opposition, not support. In substance it’s a vote down party lines. And the first stimulus bill didn’t save Trump. This bill won’t help Biden either. If anything, it will hurt him because some people thought he promised an additional $2k and only sent $1.4K.
