Giving freedom to businesses, so that business owners can choose for themselves - sounds like exactly what the right-wing has been asking for!
Just like you applauded the decision that a baker can refuse to bake a gay wedding cake, you should equally applaud that a store can refuse unvaccinated customers. Freedom & capitalism - aren't those your watchwords?
Don't worry, I'm sure a few stores will see the value of raising their prices and catering to the unvaxxed crowd. Capitalism - ain't it wunnerful!

@Budwick @Slade Didn't you guys realize? Deregulation has consequences. Freedom has consequences.
Some customers will, no doubt, appreciate the choice of shopping in an all-vaccinated environment - could be marketing gold. Now, freedom and capitalism can offer that choice. But Freedom also means nobody is forced to cater to those they don't want to.
Maybe too much freedom isn't a good thing? Maybe we need more regulation? Maybe the majority should bend to the needs of the small minority? I don't have any easy answers.
But I find it amusing that you guys suddenly rebel against freedom for business owners and more choices for the majority when you guys fall into the minority.

@ElwoodBlues The thing is, @Budwick is using a banner from a rabidly right-wing website that just has a snippet of the story. The actual article is locked behind a paywall, which suits Budwick's rhetoric just fine.

@ElwoodBlues I've never seen or heard anyone wanting no rules or guidance at all. That's how you get Antifa/BLM shit
You're wet dream is the government seizing all business and doing the same thing. Shutting out whites, unvaxxed, anyone wearing a cross (unless Obama is on it), etc, etc

@Slade You've never heard anyone say "that government is best which governs least"? You've never met a libertarian? What rock have you been living under?

@ElwoodBlues You're 100% against private ownership especially of means of production. Answer- government can systematically drive out (or under) whoever the Emmanuel Goldstein is of that day.
Admit it's your wet dream: deny capitalists, independent thinkers, anyone better looking than you. Make them desperate enough and they'll get on he train
Q are you going to sell the lampshades you make out not these infidels to the highest bidder, or allow your beloved government to set the most insufficient price

@Slade Bulllshit. I agree with Bullwick that sometimes a bit of regulation is best ('cause that's his position even if he won't admit it). And I'm enjoying watching you "freedom & capitalism" folks squirm when your hypocrisy is pointed out. You have a fierce compulsion to demonize everyone who disagrees with you, but that's just [i]your[/i] failure.

@ElwoodBlues You are driven by envy and want better people tham you destroyed. THAT'S why you are a commie
ElwoodBlues · M
@Slade [b]LOL!!![/b] You know nothing, and you've switched to personal attacks and straw men because you lost the debate on freedom vs regulation when I exposed your hypocrisy.
BTW, which is it? Are you calling me a NAZI or a Commie? The two sides were mortal enemies, so make up your mind [b]ROTFL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues I never said a wotd about freedom or regulation.
Your delusional self congratulation was about something that didn't even happen
I OWN YOU (like Michelle O at the auction block)

@Slade [quote]I never said a wotd about freedom or regulation.[/quote] True, you pretty much went directly to personal attacks. Yet freedom vs regulation is the core of the debate.
And you implied I was anti-freedom with your straw-man attacks. Even though your defense of unvaccinated Germans is a pro-regulation argument.
