    Nothing I said was a lie. I named two examples of vax mandates. My 24 person company in the Bay Area, where we’re dominated by liberalism (whereas I’m a leftist). And the trucker convoys as a result of a mandate to cross the border. The first, you have no way to verify or disprove (although we were so disorganized that actual proof was never sought; it was a stated policy before we came back to the office in summer of 2021. The second, you’d have to have been in a news blackout to miss. I don’t understand your comment.

      Work requirements are not mandates. People at the industrial half of the place where I work (I’m in the office) have to wear safety goggles. They aren’t mandated to wear safety goggles. The government isn’t forcing them to wear safety goggles. They just have to do that as a work requirement. No one forced you to get vaccinated just like no one is forcing them to wear goggles. That doesn’t mean choices don’t have consequences.

        I qualified my statement as “not gov” and then followed up with a gov example. You’re arguing in bad faith. Anyway, I’m done with this thread. Hope you have a nice day.
