Coronavirus

[Mr. Deez]

Where does the Constitution say that?

Obviously there isn't a provision that says, "the President may impose a Covid vaccine mandate on federal employees." The power to do it comes from the President being the head of the executive branch (where most federal employees work) coupled with the absence of federal laws prohibiting him from doing so. (If he imposes the mandate on legislative or judicial branch employees, I think it would violate the separation of powers doctrine.)

Watch: Rand Paul Vows To Grill Fauci Again This Week Over His "Threat To Civilization" | ZeroHedge

 

[horninchicago]

So what? Rand keeps grilling, Fauci keeps spewing BS, and we keep being told to do what he says. So, who cares? It's all RINO theater.

They all go to the same DC cocktail parties and laugh at us. I'm sure of it.

Did you read the article? Rand says dems and garland are blocking his enquiries.

Did you read the article? Rand says dems and garland are blocking his enquiries.

No, I didn't. But, is my point moot?

I'll go read it. I don't think it will make a difference though, but I'll see.

Edit: Since I don't watch news and your article headline said "agin", that indicates he hasn't been blocked. Bad headline?

Read it. I don't see that part. Maybe not enough coffee for me yet?

“You have seen Merrick Garland performing live, I don’t think he’s ever going to prosecute him,” Paul continued,

“Democrats love Dr. Fauci so much that they will not have one hearing to investigate the origins of this virus,” Paul urged, adding “It’s hard with President Biden to know whether it’s corruption or incompetence.”

Rubbish comparison. Vermont is a low population, low density state

You should encarta something before you present data with such authority.

Vermont is more densely populated. Population density in the U.S., by state 2020 | Statista

217.52 residents per square mile compared to 97.18 for Alabama.

Before you call out another poster you should check your facts first before posting with such authority. I know in Oklahoma math is hard, but at least try.

Vermont is 9,616 square miles with a population of 624,000 at the last census giving them 65 people per square mile.

Alabama is 52,419 square miles with a population of 4,903,000 giving them 94 people per square mile.

So Alabama is 44% more dense than Vermont. That's VERY significant. Vermont would have to have a population of over 2 million to have a density of 217 per sq mi.

You should totally update statistia. Population density in the U.S., by state 2020 | Statista They indicate that Vermont is less dense than Alabama. But, hey, I'm sure your googling is more accurate than the statisticians. Good work!

Maybe he should. That list has SC at 12 residents per square mile, when the true number according to wiki is 157 residents per square mile. Just a little off.

Appeal to authority because you can’t think for yourself - the very definition of a liberal.

F. to the O. I googled population density. Get over yourself. 380% and 550%. NOT explained by minor land/population differences.

PS: wiki? LOL. I assume you're being ironic there. Next thing you'll post something from snopes for fun, right?

No, his source says Vermont has higher population density. OU Bubba just mis-wrote it in the email you referenced.

I did something more productive and sent a note to statista informing them of the issue using their reply form.

Here's a state that's 70% fully vaccinated:

Ivy League: Case Dashboard or Vermont - COVID-19 Overview - Johns Hopkins

Compared to SEC: Alabama - COVID-19 Overview - Johns Hopkins

Positivity in the past week:
2.51% < 21.76%.

Deaths: 356 in a population of 623k v. 15,424 in a population of 4.9 million. To make the % similar you'd have to have 1,963 dead Vermont residents. 550% more. But yeah, vaccines are a plot by the deep state.

Here's the initial post @nashhorn

So, just to be clear...SOMETHING or SOMEONE is more dense in this discussion. Correct?

NEVER trust a 'research' department that is lacking in bald people and pocket protectors...slide rules are not present because they left all six of them on their desks when they grudgingly left for a group photo.

Let's try another source. This is official government census data. Historical Population Density Data (1910-2020)

2020

Alabama at 99.2

Vermont at 69.8

Both in square miles.

Again, I know math is hard, but can you do simple division? They teach that in second grade.

The size of both Vermont and Alabama haven't changed in what, over 200 years? If you can show me ANY proof that Vermont has over 2 million people living there to drive its population per square mile to 217 I'll buy you a pizza.

And for the record I did actually use the internet to find the raw data to do the calculation. However I didn't let anyone else do the math for me. You should try it. You might be amazed at how many errors you find on the interwebs when you think for yourself.

I'm unclear of how they're computing this data. However, due to some liberal magic, they all seem to have Alabama identified as more dense than Vermont.

According to this (your) link in 2020 Alabama is ranked 29th and Vermont is 33rd.

They might be using Statista as a source. As Vol Horn said that population density can't be true for Vermont. Vermont's population is a little over 600,000, not 2 million.

Statista is using Okie math.
