    Here is how we solve the division about voting rights and covid passports.

    1. Give the people getting the vaccine a picture ID
    2. Let them use that ID to vote


    And for giggles.

    3. No one can vote unless they have that vaccine passport.


    Ok, clearly number 3, would never fly, so just use any picture ID to vote - including the vaccine passport.

    Job done!

    And let capitalism play out and allow private companies to refuse service to people who refuse to get vaccines or sedle if you can pass legislation that adds "people who don't believe in modern medicine" as a protected class like race, age or veteran status.

    What is wrong with that idea? A government ID would be issued to everyone that receives a vaccine - which solves the ID problem.

    What is the issue you have?

    @DaDakota
    The brotherhood can disagree but we all are here for the same reason
    We know why clutch city exists

    this subsection of the board is not really about politics
    It’s about who thinks they have the right answers to problems

    and we all know this was already done in the film gattaca from the 90s

    Prıvate companies cannot refuse service to people who get a vaccine or don't get one because they have no right to know their customer's medical history. Also just saying "muh private company" is a convenient excuse when they literally become tyrannical. There are times the legal system should step in and put a stop to abuses; especially when large corporate entities which are richer than many nations begin abusing people. You can't just "muh private company" for everything they do.

    I am right about Gattaca (D&Ders I know hate deep movies and art (dropouts))

    But spoiler, Ethan Hawke can't get on that spaceship unless he has PERFECT DNA.

    This is like what people want to happen today.

    This is what happens when suckers want to cancel movies and cartoons, they lose the meaning and creativity

    So then in your legal opinion, the businesses in NY that require you to flash your mobile excelsior pass (or your vaccine card) in order to enter their business is breaking the law? Or is the state breaking the law? Or are both breaking the law? Or is neither breaking the law?

    When I went to Hawaii and played golf, did the golf course break the law when they required me to show my negative COVID test in order to play? What about the resort I stayed in? National Car Rental? A few of the restaurants we went to?

    "People without vaccines" are not a protected group under Federal Law as it stands. You can absolutely bar them from your premises, just like you could someone with terrible hygiene. Federal Law requires a certain level of employee safety. How do you determine who has been vaccinated? That's the part still up in the air on a global level

    Also just saying "muh private company" is a convenient excuse when they literally become tyrannical.


    This is a complete nonsense sentence, btw.
