Sure, quick and simple- pass a law requiring all portions to be within a minimum and maximum percentage of x miles of an agreed upon central district point. Voters in a series of fringe/overlapping blocks can vote to join District A, or District B. Districts will vary in size (x) based upon population density.

They can no longer be part of the United States. We can’t even get you meatheads to take a vaccine during a global pandemic. We do have a special job just for you when the camp opens. You’ll be baking wedding cakes for gay couples. What could we have B-man do? The gay couple remark shows me you have no clue as to who I am and what my ideals are. And we're the problem.

Pregnant women remain in a small group of people who the vaccine has not been fully verified to be safe for. While pregnant women are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., they are not professionally recommended to take it or not, as there is little data on the vaccines effects on pregnant women. Earlier this year, the World Health Organization recommended against pregnant women getting the vaccine, before later walking back that advice. The women all must have received a dose of the Moderna COVID vaccine within the 28 days before their last menstrual period before pregnancy (MEANING WE ARE FINDING PROBLEMS WITH WOMEN AND THEIR CYCLES AND POSSIBLY THE PREGNANCY ITSELF AFTER YOU GOT THE MAGIC VACCINE AND ITS TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS MORE SERIOUSLY) Moderna is looking to find trends of pregnancy complications or negative pregnancy outcomes -such as a miscarriage or a stillbirth - among the women who received their vaccine. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-9784519/Moderna-launches-clinical-trial-testing-COVID-vaccine-safe-pregnant-women.html HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO STUPID AS TO REFUSE THIS VACCINE.

Anyone dumb enough to refuse the vax and to refuse the mask deserves the result. The sad part is that some responsible people down there probably will get sick and die based on the spread amongst the irresponsible/hoaxers/HCQ/Lysol/fake news crowd. Should be that way now. Keep your delta and keep your stupid in Florida/Alabama/Mississippi, etc. where it belongs. Here are NYS vaccination rates broken down by race/ethnicity. https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/vaccine-demographic-data Tell all the Black, Asian and Latino residents of NY how stupid they're being -- or are they all dumbass conservatives who deserve what they get? Here's where the Delta variant is most concentrated as of now https://www.newsweek.com/delta-variant-five-us-states-spreading-covid-19-1609632 "The data concluded that the areas with the highest proportions of the Delta variant—or B.1.617.2— among their cases are Missouri at 74.6 percent, Nevada at 44.1 percent, Colorado at 36.5 percent, California at 31.1 percent and New Jersey at 28.6 percent." I don't see a Florida, Alabama, or a Mississippi on that list. I'm not saying that Covid is not present in the Southeast, I'm just saying that your overgeneralizations are pretty much inaccurate and misleading. Maybe, just maybe, it isn't a North-South, urban/rural, blue-red, left-right thing. And maybe people have various personal reasons for not getting vaccinated.

Governor Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: IMHO The United States is at a tipping point. As I've posted in other threads, all the rest of this chatter is just that...chatter. We are now gripped in a death match struggle between collectivism and individualism. It is the root cause of everything else (climate change, globalism, CRT, voting laws, health care, etc.). I'm going to be really interested to see which side wins....but make no mistake, this is NOT the Republicans against the Democrats as many old-schoolers on here would love to frame it. CRT isn’t a real issue on voter’s minds and won’t affect the midterm elections and isn’t an issue that will greatly favor R’s 1 year from now as we can see from recent polling. From what I’ve been told, HC will be the main issue once again. I’m talking about voter’s that matter. The mushy moderates. The center. Whatever you want to call them. Democrats are going to hold or increase gains with seniors as soon as the Medicare expansion (vision, dental) passes. That will be a really big deal on Election Day. For anyone that’s wondering, Dems have been stalling on weed laws and college loans forgiveness. Expect them to use those issues to drive up young turnout down the stretch. They’ll also rile people up with the voter suppression laws heading into Election Day. They’ve got every part of the electorate covered. They actually know what they’re doing for a change.

My point being.....stop living in a fake social media cocoon and think that what you read or fake trending there is indicative of the real world and it all needs "fixing." The partisan anger and Twitter usage chart since 2010 has a stunning parallel side by side rise. Lololol what if....now bare with me here......that all the white racists (that aren't bots) DO NOT have jobs. Assuming white people work.......That's very......not woke. He needs more diversity training. Responses like this and the climate it's creating, everyone is a fake. No one going to want to offend anyone ever. Never saying what they really think. It's literally the Black Mirror Episode Nosedive out there. I'd like to know what all white neighborhood Mr. O'Connell lives in - ok I shouldn't assume he's racist because he's white. But wait....my CRT training says I should assume this. Now I'm confused. Anyway, we're all going to be free from work soon anyway.
