Stabbed in Back

Republican politicians are smiling at their voters and then going right along with Democrats in selling us out to oligarchs and corporations. The GOP-dominated legislature of my home state has feigned a high-minded stand against vaccine passports and a mandate of the COVID puncture by state authorities, which is great as far as it goes, but deliberately excludes private entitiies. After all these Republicans say they do not want to interfere in the operations of a business. Their stand then means virtually nothing, as companies will require their employees to take the "vaccine" and perhaps even deny potential customers access to their premises if they can not produce proof of "vaccination". Under the fake protection of civil liberty that will likely be passed and signed by Governor Lee, Tennesseans will still have to live under vaccine passports. They will just be imposed by corporations instead of the state. It would have been very easy to pass a law preventing private entities operating within Tennessee from imposing vaccine mandates and passports, but our two-faced legislators, who only pretend to value freedom, were having none of that.
