> Cool, imagine if I passed a law saying donate 20% of your life savings to Trump or go to jail. Don’t worry, you aren’t forced to, by that logic.

But the threat of jail is actually being forced. No on is going to jail for being unvaccinated. Are you equating finding another job to being incarcerated?

> Or in a more realistic world from the past, you’d better not employ that German Jew or your business will get forcibly shut down. Don’t worry, you’re not forced to not hire him.

Race is a protected class. Vaccination status without documented medical reason is not. Also, no one is forcing these businesses to shut down. They simply can't employ unvaccinated people.



>Race is a protected class.

Good, then you aconowledge that discrimination on this characteristic was an act of force requiring explicit protections to be implemented to cease the practice?

The poster is making the assertion that the same underlying pattern of behavior is unfolding, and your interpretation of it not being an act of force requires that your definition of "force" be so out of touch with the reality/form of life that they are invoking under the pre-supposition you both can come to an agreement on a dictionary referenced definition of the word, as to be uselessly undermined by arbitrary political distortions so as to be useless to continue trying to communicate.

This is not a good sign; for anyone involved; I might add.


I respectfully maintain my disagreement and will not discuss it further.
