Really, because my church still went on as normal.
Ya, you should read the paper. How many people do you think you killed by being so cavalier? Perhaps you spread the virus to several old people. Btw, no surprise you’re religious. It’s a red flag for conservative wack jobs. You’re a future wack job.

And only 6.6 million died worldwide from Covid. Big difference. 44 million more people died from Spanish flu than Covid.
Because other countries were completely unprepared and uneducated about pandemics then.
72,152 died from Covid 49 years and under
Ok, so that’s 72,152 more than you said. Big difference. We lost 54,000 Americans in the Vietnam War.

Only if a private business said so. Otherwise, public areas didn't have mandatory mask restrictions.
Sometimes they did in some public spaces. You lie. And a business is a public space for public accommodation. That’s why a business, although privately owned, can’t say “no black people allowed”.
Health departments banned gatherings of certain sizes at church, funerals, sporting events, concerts, restaurants and more and made wearing masks mandatory indoors or when social distancing was not feasible.

Thats not what the government wanted to do for Coronavirus. They wanted mandatory vaccines, and mandatory face masks.And speaking of masks, masks did nothing to stop the spread of Coronavirus.
That’s a lie. You’re AFU kid. Your “could” and “want” are AFU.
MASKS were mandatory then and they are were mandatory for Covid
Shots were mandatory in these old Supreme Court cases and they were constitutional for Covid.
They have that authority, but they didn't use it.
That’s nonsense, you are talking nonsense now

No, Biden or any other Democrat knows this is a process with a goal of 2030 to 2035. It was in all the papers. I thought you said you were well informed.
The part we disagree on, is you believe that fossil fuels are the answer,
Um no, I don’t think fossil fuels are the answer and solar panels are not fossil fuels just because they are made of silicon.
Fusion will be great. In fact they just had a big break through on the science in California this week. She was on MSNBC. YOU WOULD NOT SEE HER ON FOX NEWS. But the scientists are still saying it will be decades before we can use it for energy

Take it from me. I am currently in high school, in this generation. Especially now more than ever, white males are being subjected to racism, especially in schools. Even white males are being racist to, white males.
So you subscribe to the notion of white grievance? The puzzle is starting to come together now.
Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.
So you believe minorities think they are superior to white people? Which races have been saying they are superior to the whites in your school, besides the other white males you spoke of?

A lot of other people felt that way too. It only severely affected people with other extreme medical conditions.
That’s another false statement. Check your facts
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The death of a newly elected U.S. representative from Louisiana of complications related to COVID-19 stunned the state’s political circles Wednesday and became the latest brutal reminder of how dangerous the coronavirus can be.
Luke Letlow, who was only 41 and had no known underlying health conditions, died Tuesday night at Ochsner-LSU Health Shreveport — days before he was scheduled to be sworn into office, according to his spokesman Andrew Bautsch. Bautsch asked for privacy for Letlow’s family “during this difficult and unexpected time.”
Republican U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, a doctor who tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this year and has since recovered, seemed almost at a loss for words in a Twitter video he posted Tuesday night about Letlow’s death, stopping at one point before saying: “It just, just, just, just brings home COVID can kill. For most folks it doesn’t, but it truly can. So, as you remember Luke, his widow, his children in your prayers, remember as well to be careful with COVID.”

There wasn't a significant enough impact of people dying from the virus, that could force the supreme court to make a decision like that. Or force people to get vaccines.
Wrong
Covid killed more Americans than the Spanish flu.(1 million vs 650,000) From that time period, for flu, small pox and other, the Supreme Court set precedent that the government could make people get vaccines under certain circumstances i e they want to go to public school, health workers etc.
And this
Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court's decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the police power of the state.
The Supreme Court reaffirmed its decision in Jacobson in Zucht v. King (1922), which held that a school system could refuse admission to a student who failed to receive a required vaccination.

Trump embraced quack science for medical advisors, medications and treatments
He abdicated the Federal response and turned most aspects of fighting the virus to the states and did little to support them
He pressured states to reopen their economies even though health experts said it was too soon
He encouraged herd “mentality” as the best way to respond to the pandemic.
Trump literally said if we stopped testing the virus would dissipate which is nonsense
The White House was a Covid hotspot for transmission
He undermined the efficacy of wearing masks
Don’t embrace quack science
Don’t abdicated Federal responsibilities to manage a pandemic
Don’t pressure states to open before health experts say it’s safe
Don’t suggest we could rely on herd immunity
Get testing out faster so people will know to stay clear of other and not spread the virus
Practice what you preach. Don’t demonstrate bad health protocol by having large indoor gatherings
Don’t mock the wearing of masks

You better check your facts kid. Covid arrived in January 2020. Biden took office January 2021.
The legality of mandatory vaccines has been adjudicated by the Supreme Court as constitutional long before Covid arrived. It dates back to the Spanish flu
As I said and people like Dr. Deborah Birx agree, the federal response to Covid was incompetent. Trump was responsible for the federal response as President.
No response? If you are going to debate, have the maturity to concede the point when you have no viable argument to make.

The Navy is the fattest and is tied for the oldest max enlistment age, yet less than 1% on that boat you fear mongered about were hospitalized.
Are you stupid? Never mind I already know the answer. What you’re not getting genius is in spite of your assertion that 1% of the crew on that ship was hospitalized, it doesn’t change the fact that that ship was out of operation for 2 months because of Covid. And it will happen again in any future outbreak unless the crew is immunized.
Did negligent discharges put any billion dollar ships out of action? How bout a single army battalion? No? Then shut up dummy.

False. You don’t know what you’re talking about. It is indisputable that fossil fuels on this planet will some day be exhausted. Would that mean the end of the world? It just needs to be phased out methodically in as many areas as possible and replaced with renewable energy. If you lived in the 1800s you would have been crying about the end of the whaling industry.

Reading comprehension problems? GP said “arms dealers,” and he isn’t wrong. You are.
Are arms dealers worse than Taliban leaders? Of course not. GP’s very specific mention of arms dealers was an attempt to cast Trump in a favorable light hoping readers wouldn’t bother to check the facts. A common tactic for FOX News. It failed miserably except with dummies like yourself. Im sure he would have said arms dealers with mustaches if he needed to.

Now it is true that the last significant refinery in the USA, was built in 1976, but you're still getting your dates wrong.
Gee, in post 48 you wrote 1977, is it 77 or 76?
“However, the newest refinery with significant downstream unit capacity is Marathon's facility in Garyville, Louisiana. That facility came online in 1977 with an initial atmospheric distillation unit capacity of 200,000 b/cd, and as of January 1, 2022, it had a capacity of 585,000 b/cd”
So now you know, and you can go tell all your high school friends that American capitalism hasn’t built a significant oil refinery in this country since the mid to late 70’s. Long before Joe Biden was President. Get it genius? I’m sure you had no idea about US oil refining capacity until I dropped the bomb on you. Your welcome.

This is Lyondell's second attempt to sell the Houston refinery, which the U.S. Energy Information Administration says can process 263,776 barrels per day of crude oil.
Apparently there was additional capacity added to the Channelview complex, albeit for a different owner. This is NOT a new refinery.
Created:
-->
@YouFound_Lxam
“Over the last quarter-century, the number of refineries in the United States dropped to 149, less than half the number in 1981. Because companies have upgraded and expanded their aging operations, refining capacity during that time period shrank only 10 percent from its peak of 18.6 million barrels a day. At the same time, gasoline consumption has risen by 45 percent”
The last major refinery to come online in the United States, in 1977, is the one owned by Marathon Oil in Garyville, La. It is capable of pumping out 578,000 barrels per day. Since it opened, more than half the refineries in the United States have closed.

The newest refinery in the United States is the Texas International Terminals 45,000 b/cd refinery in Channelview, Texas, which was operable on January 1, 2022, but actually started operating in February, 2022.
First of all, you need to get your facts strait.
Yes, the newest refinery, with significant downstream unit capacity, came online in 1977
But the newest one, became operable on January 1, 2022.
No, your confused. That refinery in Channelview TX has been around since 1957.
“Our Channelview plant, about 20 miles east of downtown Houston, has been part of the North Channel community since 1957. Today, the Channelview Complex comprises an area of almost 4,000 acres with two large manufacturing facilities and a workforce of more than 1,900 people”
“The Channelview Complex is a petrochemical manufacturing facility located on the Texas Gulf Coast, about twenty miles from downtown Houston. Originally built in 1957, the Channelview Complex spans 4,000 acres and houses two petrochemical plants. The North Plant is operated by Equistar Chemicals LP and the South Plant is operated by Lyondell Chemical Company—both subsidiaries of the Dutch multinational company LyondellBasell Industries, which is one of the largest plastics, chemicals and refining companies in the world. Equistar’s Channelview North Plant manufactures ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and benzene, which are used to produce propylene oxide, styrene monomer, and gasoline-blending products at Lyondell’s Channelview South Plant”

Trump got scores of Americans released from foreign prisons without trading arms dealers for them. Go look it up
As usual you have your head up your ass GP. Trump released 3 Taliban leaders and all kinds of criminals.
“In November 2019, the Trump administration secured the release of American Kevin King and Australian Timothy Weeks, who were being held by the Taliban, in exchange for the release of three senior Taliban leaders being held in jails in Afghanistan”
And let’s not forget those 5000 Taliban prisoners that Trump released in order to leave Afghanistan.
Now Trump did pardon several of his partners in crime like Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, and Steve Bannon.

Keep wearing that mask on the plane, don’t catch COVID
I had Covid in early November. It was miserable, but because I had been vaccinated and boosted, it was no big deal and I didn’t need to take a hospital bed and cost the Airline all kinds of money the way you antivaxers do. We had unvaccinated pilots who were out of work for months and require hospitalization.

This reference you are using, like most of the references you use, are not credible sources of information. That UCSB website is very amateurish and citing a Trump press release like before shows you are clueless. You need to work on your critical thinking skills.
And when Biden said “we would work it out” it being fossil fuels, what do you think he was saying? The United States would phase out fossil fuels? Starting with coal? That’s exactly what we need to be doing and the fact is oil companies are thinking that way too. We haven’t built an oil refinery in this country since 1973. That’s because oil companies know that fossil fuels are the past, not the future.

Trump, and his poor response to Covid slowed down immigration.
Now employers can’t find workers.
Economists estimate that ‘two years of lost immigration’ is responsible for close to half of the 3.5 million workers missing from the labor force
“The drop-off in foreign workers began soon after President Donald Trump took office, largely on an anti-immigrant platform. Although his administration didn’t make legislative changes, it slowed down visa processing through “a culture of extreme vetting and extreme delays” that was enough to deter immigration in all forms, especially among those without college educations, Peri said.”
