Pepsi flew Nixon around and Coke flew Kennedy? Now you just making stuff up so you don't look stupid.

Most large corporations until recently stayed out of straight political fights, like Jordan said "Republican buy shoes also".

Why don't you explain to me how much? And if they are paying such a high rate why are they upset about DeSantis treating them like all the other companies.

Because that employer is not paying their fair share of taxes and decided to get involved in politics by slandering the Governor.

Can you point out the ignorance so far?

You stated it was unprecedented- I showed it was not- the only thing unprecedented was the terrible response, and Trump Is not blameless, but your TDS is bad.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32387617/#:~:text=Abstract,since the 1918 flu pandemic. It is the 5th since Spanish flu a century ago, so about once every 20 years. We had H1N1 and Sars that I remember. Dude your memory sucks if you forgot those. As a reminder AIDS is a pandemic that is continuing and has killed more than COVID.

The shut downs are governments fault and they did nothing to stem deaths in the long run, which are indisputable facts.

That it came from the lab will never be proven because the Chinese destroyed the market so no investigation could be done. As for what we were funding, I do believe it was COVID related and we knew from early 2020 that it was unlikely to harm children anymore than the flu but we still shut down schools for all that time. The government response was not just imperfect, it was terrible. The fact that Sweden has better has better numbers than we do states that our response did more damage than the virus. As for my distain for Fauci, the fact is he should have been more forthcoming with the facts that we had interests in that lab and not have been one of the liars that it was a conspiracy theory.

Do you believe that COVID 19 came from the Chinese lab? And do you believe that the US was funding research at that lab?

They don't agree on a standard, each has its own, so which one do you think I should listen to? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/13/health/transgender-teens-hormones.html

Since there is no agreement on most mental health issues, to which organization do you defer your responsibility to?

This just popped up on my Twitter feed, it is from a couple years ago, but I actually watched the whole thing and it would be a brilliant parody if not from a "journalist". He multiple times says things like " not the way Republicans mean" but does not explain what R's mean. Basically he ignores that we are a Republic as in we are a nation of laws, and not one that changes with the whims of the people unless they change the law.

It is not a strawman, but your response says it all, if an "expert" says ok then let the kid do it.

The crazy in Florida is 90% the liberals and seeing as FL is growing so fast as NFL and all of NY is shrinking is hilarious. I doubt you have ever been outside the tourist areas of FL which is mainly non Floridians.

@Tiberius @redtail hawk @BillStime @ChiGoosedo you see any argument that a child is mature and aware enough to decide to have massive surgery but is not mature and aware enough to choose to have sex?

This article is unrelated to guns but this is how effective any law passed for gun control would be. The government, to protect people with a sesame allergy, made it easier to just put sesame in the product than remove it. So now all these products that used to be sesame free have it intentionally added just to deal with a bad law. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/04/11/sesame-allergy-law-consequences/?=undefined

You think this beer is going to sell so well that 10 employees can't keep up? I am gonna buy from local breweries, which is what I have done for several years now simply because INBEV has destroyed several great beers over the years.

I worked for one of the largest insurance companies on the planet when Obama won and Obamacare was passed- I assure you that the insurance industry loved Obamacare.

Do you not think the kids are truly damaged?

I missed having your child like wit around here, it is good to have you back!

You stated that you worked in a hospital, why does a hospital administrator get paid so well? Is it because they get the insurance companies to play ball with exorbitant fees? Or do they actually accomplish something

I think your not bright enough to see it from the proper perspective. We made Fauci into a living saint when he knew the virus came from the lab because we paid for the research. He knew the risks and the fact that it was less deadly to younger people but refused to push to reopen society. Everyone who shut down their schools for two years damaged their children in a terrible way, and restricting my travel did take away from freedoms, thankfully i Iive in FL where most of my freedoms were reinstated quickly.

As I stated parental consent to abuse a child should not change the consideration. We don't agree and probably never will, but their is no guideline that makes it appropriate

There seems to be a very definitive line in the sand here that both sides can simplify down to- does a child have the acumen and awareness to make these kind of life altering decisions? I teach 16 year olds and will say with absolute certainty that the answer is no. Kids are confused and discovering who they are, and the vast majority of trans kids waffle back and forth.
