a national MANDATE.
Follow Ups:
The policy is to let the states set their own covid policies. Some cities are making policies and mandates that other cities in the same state aren't agreeing on. It's all over the place. Many months ago I suggested people should take care of themselves. That's the best policy, and you don't need some bogus leader to tell you what to do.
mask, vaccinate, social distance.
If not for a conservative Supreme Court, we'd most likely have those national mandates you clearly support, right?
...the CDC is neither a governing body nor a regulatory agency. They have ZERO ability to institute or enforce any policy/mandate.
The President put forth a mandate, that is now being battled-out in the courts, but sure isn't making much of an effort to defend it. Putting it out there scored a lot of points, but now (when it counts), it's kind of like "well, it's out of my hands--I tried".
"So I talk to the night, I head for the light, try and hold it on the road. Thank God for the man who put
the white lines on the highway"--a very dear friend for decades Michael Stanley (Gee)--RIP
President has repeatedly supported them over the past year; it's Red state governors/attorneys general who have fought them.I think I know your issue: you're in agreement with the CDC, but extremely frustrated by the government's inability to see them followed. You are a conservative. You can't admit to yourself that YOUR political agents are the problem. Now, YOUR conservative SCOTUS has made a serious and ill-fated decision. Again, you have a serious problem, cognitive dissonance of the most obvious sort.
So? You blame those who don't have any ability whatsoever to do more than they have. Would Joe's hourly messaging have impacted the SCOTUS? Even one attorney general or governor?
Face it, conservatives are responsible. ONLY they.

Trying to use OSHA as the vehicle for the mandate was a stretch IMO, but it was the only tool available.
Biden took his best shot using OSHA premise, but I have a feeling he knew it was a long shot and that's why there was not a more impassioned defense mounted.
well that was the strategy for dealing with big tobacco and public smoking
which was actually a great success paired with advertising restrictions
so it makes a lot of sense to use those tools again
the difference being the clock that's running to get results

lol ... nice tie in!

and I don't need the government to tell me what to do. When a mask mandate was in place, we had people defying the mandate. I try to keep away from crazies, and so far haven't been infected. My youngest sister died from Covid last year, before the vaccine was available to her. She wasn't very healthy to begin with and didn't isolate as she should have with her health problems.
