There are tons of Trumptoids out there in your red neck of the woods that can't wait to chow down on another Buffalo burger and they got have it whether they pay more for it or not.  So much for critical and rational assessment for you and your clientele....

Not going anywhere but leaving this conversation.....it is like arguing with a 6 yr old about his Christmas list.....a waste of time, he wants what he wants lol

Of course, what sucks about the unvaccinated masses is that they are endangering us all by providing more human wood for the virus to burn through and potentially create a variant that the current vaccines do not prevent.

So let me follow the logic here..... We have vaccines that are not supposed to prevent you from catching the virus but rather prevent it from making you as sick as you would get without vaccine. At least that is my understanding.

So if that is the case how does someone who chooses not to take the vaccine endanger those who do take it? 

If the vaccine does not prevent the spread of the virus but rather just mitigates the effect of the virus on those who do choose to take it I dont see how anyone making the choice not to take it is endangering anyone but themselves......

One of us is working with faulty logic here James smile

So they are less likely to catch it and if they do they arent likely to get as sick.....got it. Doesnt answer the question though....How is someone who chooses not to take it endangering anyone but themselves?

There you go making asinine statements because it supports your perspective again..... I vote for candidates and their actual records not parties and pretty much always have. That said, based on your posts here I would have to call you a liar on the governor vote lol.....

So basically you wouldnt know an insurrection if it slapped you then Rod...... Though I predict you may live to see a real one if things keep going the direction they are headed.

I saw and read the same news you did Rod. The word insurrection implies a level of violence that simply didnt happen.....at worst there were a bunch of unarmed idiots running around in the capitol acting the fool, some in idiotic costumes as well in a protest gone bad. While I get the desperate need to make it sound like more than it was from the left and its sycophant's like you that doesnt even come close to an insurrection. Thus my comment that you may yet learn the real definition of that word......

Before you go spouting about how there were deaths involved trying to justify using the word insurrection keep in mind there were a total of 5 deaths. Five people died either shortly before, during, or after the event: one was shot by Capitol Police (an unarmed woman as I recall), one died of a drug overdose, and three succumbed to natural causes. Insurrection? Hardly......sad? YES......
