Masks optional at our school today
Most of the kids I saw were wearing them when they were going in. They changed the rule last night, so I’m not sure if they didn’t know they were optional, or if they or their parents wanted them to wear the mask anyway

Exploiting of the tragedy of people who suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany - including children like Anne Frank - in a debate about vaccines & limitations during global pandemic is a sad symptom of moral & intellectual decay.

Its real simple. Every Covid mandate should have been a matter of legislation passed through the legislature by vote and then signed by the governors NOT executive orders. There is / was no excuse for the legislatures of states like mine shirking their responsibilities and going AWOL during a good chunk of Covid and letting governors get drunk on their power. Why even bother having legislators anymore?
so Murphy should have just waited for the legislature to act before doing anything about nursing homes?
You're being a dick just to be a dick Josh. Since you asked.......there was no need to wait. We have legislators who's job it is to legislate. This stuff isn't rocket science. How hard would it have been for a simple piece of legislation to be written, voted on and signed by the governor to deal with the emerging crisis? Could have been the exact same things he wrote up as executive orders. Why not have our state assembly and senate go on the record and vote on the matter?
Nice dodge.
Did Murphy violate the state constitution in using executive orders?
So I take it your answer is "yes, Murphy should have waited for the legislative debate process to act on the nursing home crisis, thereby exacerbating the crisis"?
Science is not a matter of opinion.
Letting politics, and by default business, influence decision making during a public health crisis is the dumbest thing ever.
That's saying a lot,considering it came from your mouth.
In CA, the legislature wrote a health and safety code that gave the Governor power to act unilaterally. Would you suggest that isnt enough?
side note, rem when “legislators have the authority to choose electors” was an ar here?
Why do you hate representative government and crave authoritarianism so badly. Strange.....
Why wouldn't you want your local representatives to vote on measures that effect you, your family and your community?
You dodge my whole point and try to predictably drag things off into the weeds with your nonsense. So you're telling me there couldn't have been an emergency session of the legislature to approve measures to deal with the situation?
You elect the people you elect because you trust them to do the right thing at the time of emergency i.e. listen to the fucking science.
You don't vote on the fact that vaccines work or that masks help reduce the spread of the virus.
What is there to vote on?
What if that had happened? Would you support the mandate? I don't think so.
yes, of course there could have been, and who knows how long that would have taken.
either way you would have yelled "gubbnermint teeer-uh-neeeeeee".
You didn't answer whether or not Murphy violated the state constitution and used powers not granted to him.
I don't recall you criticizing Chump for going crazy with executive orders.
Why are you afraid of legislators doing their job in favor of tyrants ruling by executive order?
