Lots of precedence already set. Check out this article.
Cus the post office was under the osha rule. I don’t know of any cases where a mandate by the employer has been struck down. If the post office made their own mandate I think it would be valid.

Do you know of any cases where a mandate by an employer has been struck down?
 
That's what Jen Psaki says, the govt wouldn't lie to you would it? LOL

I thought their union basically fought for the employees and told OHSA to F off. After court ruled them unconstitutional some still kept the mandate; wouldn’t that open them for lawsuits btw? Serious question.

And I did hear Starbucks stopped mandating vax.

Court ruled that ohsa couldn’t make businesses require it. But I don’t think it said anything about businesses requiring it on their own.

All the airlines still require it for example.

But then some companies like Starbucks Were complying with the osha rule but then that rule was struck down so they stopped their mandate.

But my understanding is plenty of courts and the Supreme Court have ruled employer created mandates legal. So I don’t see how our mandate is illegal. But who knows.

Also the military still requires it and they’ve even started firing people.

I wonder if they are just gonna have all the agencies make individual mandates for their particular agency.

Yeah I did hear of a couple of guys being separated from the military under “failure to obey order” - but those guys wanted out anyway. I don’t blame them, it was their way.

But if I business kept the mandate, which was already ruled unconstitutional, wouldn’t that open them to lawsuits? The court would eventually come back to the employee vs employer case and say “well, we already deemed this unconstitutional so idk why you’re keeping it” - my thoughts

hey now, The Big Guy is proud of his 40-something year old son for kicking his crack habit! lol
Hunter was also selling art in or near the White House. What a joke
 
Much love and respect to you and you have significantly more experience in Russia, in Russian culture, etc than likely anyone here
Yes Russian history is one of being invaded, going all the way back to the Vikings, Genghis Khan and the Turkomen/Mongols, and the Goths. Probably before all that too but those are some noteworthy ones that go even further beyond the past 300 years you listed, so in my understanding there's deep -rooted wounds and paranoia to the Russian psyche stemming from all that, and hence the anger at perceived encirclement and the desire for buffer states.
Yep that's all accurate. Was more or less saying the last 300 years because it's topical to current events I don't think anyone is worried about Mongolia at this point haha. I'd also agree it's mostly paranoia, and it's absolutely being stoked by leadership and the state controlled media there.

However, post WWII Soviet/Communist expansion and behavior globally, plus the buffer state experience Eastern Europe received for nearly 50 years has driven them (and others) into the arms of Western Europe and NATO. That common treaty of 'you attack one of us, you're attacking all of us' is mighty alluring to anyone wanting to keep the Russians contained out of their country. These attitudes didn't come out of nowhere, it stems from Russian behavior and belligerence and attitude.
Oh no arguments from me. Im not saying they are innocent in this.....far from it. However knowing what we know about the history, paranoia, justifications the Russian gov will use to justify this to their people..... Sending more to troops, to more countries and talk of adding more "buffer zone" states to NATO isn't helping one bit in deescalating.

Now the domino theory hasn't worked out too well for the world historically, however...after watching what happened in Georgia/Abkhazia/Ossetia, then Crimea and eastern Ukraine, now all of Ukraine proper
I don't think this will happen. This will be a limited incursion to consolidate what they have in Crimea with the contested regions to the east, and secure the much needed water supply that's been shit off running down to Crimea.

In fact the Georgia/ s Ossetia situation is probably a great example of how this is gonna go. There will be some limited fighting and a new fence.
...it isn't beyond the pale to worry for Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia, or whatever Russia might annex again to 'ensure stability for Russian citizens in the Kaliningrad enclave' or whatever excuses Putin, Lavrov and Medvedev come up with.
Honestly I think that is a little beyond the pale as they are actually NATO allies, and I think that decision to make them so, along with the talk of adding georgia back in the day has a big part in where we are today with Ukraine, outside of the Crimea situation, which is more a national pride thing than a NATO thing.

Desire for a legally-binding guarantee that Ukraine will never ever ever, even if there's a fire, be allowed to join NATO? A nation Russia has been openly threatening and interfering with for, what, 10 years now? At least.
Would agree wholeheartedly letting any foreign nation dictate who you Ally with is a nonstarter.
Also keep in mind a some of those 'Stans you mentioned aren't all that wild on the Russians too.
I admittedly no relatively little about most of the stans, though if the Kazakhs last month are any indication the ties are still there.

While a good bit of it was likely money
Lol yup
from us and a lot of it, there was a reason several of them enjoyed having US bases/presence in them for those 20 years. Hell in Kyrgyzstan we had a base (Manas) on the opposite side of Bishkek from a Russian airbase, they had us both there.
I did not know that. That's wild.

Or am I completely wrong and full of shit? Totally possible.
I think that was all pretty spot on, and my intent was not to stan the baddies. The Russian gov is no friend of US interests, that's a given. I'm just making the viewpoint clear to 32andBelow who was like "how could they do this, how could Putin think this way?", As having that outside viewpoint as to why it's a bad idea and what we are doing is seen as escalation to them.

Fact of the matter is Russia is on a steep decline, population/birthrate is dropping, thier economy is lagging (GDP lower than Italy), and they got absolutely wrecked by COVID, and Putin needs a strong man win. Beating up on their historic red head stepchild of Ukraine is an easy way to do it.

I'm personally of the opinion once the oligarchs (and to a lesser extent the Russian people) there see gobbling up Ukraine isn't going to help thier woes, the problem will solve itself in time, and Ukraine doesn't necessarily do anything for us as stated previously, so why not just let it play out and not risk a major escalation?
 
I think Putin is bored and trolling the world. We have Internet forums. What does the leader of a country have? ?.
 
So I'm reading this as "teaching kids about the sometimes racist history of America and how it has effects on our society through time to the present day, is racist."
I don't know if it needs to be taught the way it is, or how it's being portrayed. How there's blame on all white people like kids in the class did something wrong. History should definitely still be taught, just taught correctly. No one race is to blame for anything in school and doing so is just teaching kids to judge early on in development. Just my .2¢

I think it’s wrong to teach kids that something they didn’t do makes them bad, however I do not think it is wrong to teach them that they may have certain privileges that others don’t.

I don’t think that should be taught until at the very least high school, especially not in the manner of the multiple examples that I listed, in two posts now, that most of you CRT proponents are conveniently ignoring. ?‍♂️

I think this is a rational take that most people would absolutely agree with. I don't think elementary school kids and younger really understand the concept to begin with, though I think easing it in around middle school age isn't an awful idea. Therefore your pearl clutching articles are just that....pearl clutching.

like AB19 stated you can teach it without it being a struggle session, and they absolutely should.

How is it pearl clutching when we both (mostly) agree it’s being taught incorrectly? ? Two of the examples in this link are fifth graders.

No OSHAs power to force businesses was found unconstitutional. Not businesses deciding themselves.

This, but also the focus should be on how the course is taught. It has to be delivered to each student in a way that one doesn't feel obligated to hate another because of their skin color history. This will only happen when teachers wages are increased dramatically. Instead our politicians send a bill through Congress to create climate change police all around the world funded by the U.S. taxpayer.
