This.Please stop with political bullshit
Pitiful!
Pitiful!
Sorry, I think paying people to get vaccinated is pitiful.So “political bullshit” is only okay when you are typing it?
I won't disagree.Any tax break is essentially the same thing. The govt pays you to buy a house. Donate to charity. Have kids! What else?
Generally it's justified by saying these activities are good for society.
Technically a tax break isn't the gov't actually paying anyone anything, a tax break is actually the government letting you keep more, of what already yours, not theirs, in the first placeAny tax break is essentially the same thing. The govt pays you to buy a house. Donate to charity. Have kids! What else?

And technically giving you a savings bond is like giving you an iou. But it's still ultimately a "bribe" as described by Jim right? AKA a financial incentive. We've now spent at $4T on covid if you only count what was written down in the check book. It's probably double that if you count lost tax revenue lost etc. If we don't get to herd immunity it's all wasted.
I don't know if Jim is frustrated with the people who need to be bribed or the Rs who bribed them (sorry Scotty), but I want it over. IF (big if) this gets it done, sigh, do it.
Scotty maybe we need some fun end of season threads... I'm new here but maybe things like who rode the upper giant killer poma at Pico and did you ever fall off...Please stop with political bullshit
I distinctly remember the same argument while seat belt law was imposed.Agree.
We're at the point now, or quite close to it, where the reality is that there will be a distinct difference in the Public Health Utopian view of society having 100% utilization of the vaccine, regardless of if there is 100% access to it.
And the reality is that unless we suddenly become some sort of military dictatorship society where the people don't have a say in what their leaders tell them they have to do, that there will never be 100% utilization of the vaccines, however those in leadership positions will spend an awful lot of $$ and time trying to "convince" those who for whatever relevant or conspiracy theory based unfounded reasons don't want to get the vaccine.
If those who want to get vaccinated do, and many have now, and are continuing to, then regardless of what various public health officials think/want they reality that they need to accept that some will choose to accept their own personal risk if they don't get vaccinated, and they (the individual, are fine with that)
Still no seat belt law in NH for adults. Wonder what the numbers show for fatalities.I distinctly remember the same argument while seat belt law was imposed.
Difficult to not wear one these days with the maddening chimes.Still no seat belt law in NH for adults. Wonder what the numbers show for fatalities.

Yes and yes!Scotty maybe we need some fun end of season threads... I'm new here but maybe things like who rode the upper giant killer poma at Pico and did you ever fall off...
I always wear mine but one time I was driving from Wal-Mart to the 99 in Littleton and didn't put it on and the chime started going off. I yelled "Shut up I'm in New Hampshire!" but it didn't listen to me.Difficult to not wear one these days with the maddening chimes.
My pretty new & unaltered car of only 5 years is set up that way from the factory.I got a new-to-me used car in the fall. Apparently the previous owner either took it to the dealer and/or plugged in a computer to disable the chimes themselves! I love it! It'll chime for 30 seconds then no more, just the light.
This. Exactly.I don't know if Jim is frustrated with the people who need to be bribed or the Rs who bribed them (sorry Scotty), but I want it over. IF (big if) this gets it done, sigh, do it.
