Biden should issue a safe driving mandate that prohibits driving over 25 mph unless people are driving an emergency vehicle to an emergency. That may save even more life years and reduce more suffering than the covid vaccine mandate.

Yes, imagine all the beds in the hospitals that would be freed up without people going to hospitals for obesity related illnesses? We could also mandate exercise, because not being obese isnтАЩt enough тАФ being sedentary contributes to diseases that can take up hospital beds too.
And bedtimes. A mandatory bedtime would solve a lot of illness related to poor sleep hygiene. Which could then free up more beds.
And what about contact sports? There are so many things people choose to do that are risky and can cause harm and put people in hospital beds. Getting mandates for all those little things could really add up to saving lives and hospital beds.
While I get your point, mandates generally are a bad idea. If someone is obese that is on them. Help is widely available. Or health and our bodies are our responsibility. It is not the job of some individuals to dictate to others what to do with their bodies.
I agree. ItтАЩs not my kidтАЩs responsibility to protect the obese from a virus either. ItтАЩs not even my kids responsibility to protect ME from a virus. ItтАЩs my responsibility to protect them from authoritarianismтАж.
We're imperfect people living imperfect lives in an imperfect world. The obese die of many things sooner than the rest of us, so of course they are more susceptible to a respiratory virus. It's just a fact of life. A "very limited few" might be born in what they feel is the wrong body. That's life. There's no reason we have to change our language or the biological truth of only two genders, not a third called binary, or dance around microaggressions and trigger warnings.
The ACLU is erasing women by changing the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg's quote from her Roe v. Wade decision. If you change a quote, it's no longer a quote. It's an attempt to paraphrase someone's words . . . Duh! . . . rather stupidly and unnecessarily in this case. Don't let them do these things.
These people need to get a grip and a backbone. Life is tough and it isn't fair so suck it up and get on with it in whatever legal manner you wish. Just don't ask or expect the rest of us to dance around your choices so you don't feel hurt or get sick. People make mistakes. BFD. Forgive and move on.
We have a great guide in our Constitution. We just need to remember that a free society cannot survive without virtue in its people (James Madison), something lacking in too many places for at least the last five years and probably longer given what I'm learning about previous presidencies.

Definitely would
Or how about an anti obesity mandate that sequesters those with an unhealthy BMI in special diet hotels until they reach an acceptable BMI.
Oh thatтАЩs an ingenious idea.

I might be down for a mandatory bedtime, lol
Mandating something in regard to obesity actually makes a lot more sense.
While I get your point, mandates generally are a bad idea. If someone is obese that is on them. Help is widely available. Or health and our bodies are our responsibility. It is not the job of some individuals to dictate to others what to do with their bodies.
Ya but not my responsibility to suffer the consequences (a mandatory insufficiently tested vaccine) for someone else choosing to be obese!
I agree. ItтАЩs not my kidтАЩs responsibility to protect the obese from a virus either. ItтАЩs not even my kids responsibility to protect ME from a virus. ItтАЩs my responsibility to protect them from authoritarianismтАж.
How?? Actually targeting obese people rather than those who are ten to twenty pounds overweight? Mandating your meal plan weekly?

I'm speaking only from the point of view that obesity kills a hell of a lot more people than Covid ever will.
Point taken, although it is not politically correct to notice obese people
