And this is what's wrong with Americans. Don't use science, don't use common sense - just get mad because someone told you to do something. Excellent work!

We also need strict contact tracing to help catch the spread of the virus. A lot of us are afraid of going out due to the virus raging. People can wait 6 weeks in return of a good economy as consumers would feel more safe going out again.

This is an RNA vaccine and one that has been fast tracked. This is not normal in terms of scientific process and common sense may tell people to not get this.

Don't you people get it?

If they are telling you 6 weeks, it's more like, it's 6 months or whenever we decide to let you have your life back.

15 days to flatten the curve turned into a heck of a lot more than that.

I am not tracking this guy.

“ Our government continues to make it easy to stay home and collect unemployment, rather than go to work”.

When was this recorded? The federal government $600/ week topper expired.

The maximum duration of unemployment benefits in Ohio is 26 weeks in a rolling calendar year. Many have exhausted their benefits.

The minimum wage for tipped employees in Ohio is $4.35/ hr. I suspect if this restaurant corp offered a higher wage, it might have more takers.

Generally speaking, those who receive cash tips don’t report all cash income. State unemployment benefits are based on reported income.


Due to surging Covid cases and hospitalizations, the Ohio Governor seems to be getting serious about requiring restaurants and bars to enforce the state mask mandate and threatens to shut down offenders.

Notice how the advisor says "could" control pandemic - not that it will.

I have a relative who lives in downtown Madrid, Spain and they were locked down for 6 weeks. You could only go out to buy food at certain times - or to the doctor if you were very sick. They went absolutely crazy indoors and became depressed and put on weight. After Spain lifted the lockdowns people went out with masks and strong restrictions were still in place. Guess what? - they have has many new cases than before now and are getting locked down again. These relatives are thinking of moving to the US to get away from the authoritarian rule of their govt.

We warned people that Biden was going to lock us down and were dismissed out of hand. This is all part of The Great Reset to destroy the economy and the authoritarian control of your lives. Trump is the only person standing up to this and the fools voted him out.

I think the commercial came out a little while ago, not sure when exactly. It popped up on the news this morning. He parrots exactly what many of my business owner friends have been saying.

Not sure why you are bringing up Ohio...This is in Michigan.

True. But you could also read a news article on it in 5 minutes and understand that rather than wasting your time arguing on Politics C-D.

Me neither. I know about 7 people who had it. Two were high risk. They both needed supplemental oxygen at one point but were able to do this at home. None were hospitalized. All are now fully recovered. Most of them had mild cases.
