the argument is that this particular law attempts to regulate more than just workplace activity you perform on the jobsite. it attempts to regulate your body and activity outside the workplace because you carry the vaccine wherever you go, and is thus beyond the scope of osha's mandate. you can also contract covid anywhere, not just at work, so its not an attempt to regulate purely work activity. if there is to be a "mandate" for vaccines in the workplace, it must come from congress or the states and be constitutional, and it cannot come from osha. this is a public health issue and not a workplace safety issue. they dont want to eliminate the administrative state, they want to scale it back, and subject the federal agencies to proper judicial review rather than giving them deference on what they should be allowed to do.

based on nothing more than me hearing about him for the first time.

the court also lifted the stay as to health care facilities that are federally funded. so that mandate can move forward.

correction: they didnt "toss it out", they refused to lift the stay. the case goes back to the 6th circuit but the mandate itself is stayed until the 6th circuit can rule on its constitutionality/legality, etc.

supreme court tosses out the osha mandate. keeps the mandate for federally funded health care facilities.

sieya suzuki on our radars? is there a snowball's chance in mar a lago that a guy focused on culture would sign in detroit? hey, the detroit airport has announcements in japanese...

i think edvinsson is going to be the 6'6 paul coffey. dude can skate and play. i think with seider and edvinsson their top line defense is set for the next decade. victor hedman and chris pronger. now, can we get steve yzerman to draft us a steve yzerman? that's what they need out of this draft.

that's another thing. Their best line would be a second line on a stanley cup contender. they desperately need some lottery luck this year. there are a lot of good centers available at the top of this draft.

i suppose if your definition of "stupid" is "disagrees with g2," then maybe.

people are waiting outside for hours on end to get tested at medical facilities. there is an extreme shortage of testing kits right now. it could be very cumbersome at the moment. i think this will all wind up moot because the supreme court seems poised to shoot down the mandate as being outside osha's mandate from congress and/or beyond their emergency powers.

i wouldnt go that far, but if you dont want it they offer a testing option. in a way that undercuts the mandate (as does the 100 employee limit and the religious exemption) but it offers people a legitimate "out" other than quitting.

at least neddy gives them a good goalie moving forward. hopefully cossa or bednar pan out.

the one thing they have going for them is salary cap flexibility and steve yzerman's ability to acquire talent. theyre going to have to remake 1/2 their defense next season. not sure there is anyone in the minors ready to help. do they bring back hronek one more time just because there isnt anything else available?

proposed trades from the athletic: New York receives Jerami Grant, Detroit receives Alec Burks, Nerlens Noel, Obi Toppin, NYK 2022 first-round pick (top-10 protected) or Washington receives Jerami Grant, Pistons receive Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Thomas Bryant, 2025 lottery-protected first-round pick (or two years after a draft-pick-owed commitment to OKC is settled, whichever occurs first) or Portland receives Jerami Grant, Detroit receives Norman Powell and Ben McLemore or Lakers receive Jerami Grant, Pistons receive Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, Kent Bazemore and a 2027 first-round pick of those, i would rank them knicks, washington, blazers, lakers. but the only one i would take "as is" would be the knicks trade. i would need something else from the wiz or blazers, and would outright reject any deal the lakers present. lakers will need to get another team involved if they want grant.

would you do grant to the bulls for williams, jones, and the blazers protected first rounder?

you are correct on the osha rule. i agree. i am not opposed to it in theory but the implementation will be cumbersome and im not sure it will do anything to solve a problem that, by the time its implemented, may not be that much of a problem anymore.

trey lyles might be my least favorite piston since bob mcadoo. ive never seen a guy be as pathetic on defense and as stupid on offense. yes, he is a threat to score because he's an ok shooter for a big man, but he's selfish and just does dumb things. not disagreeing with your post, just commenting on lyles in general. that bulls game was such garbage play it really pissed me off and soured me even more on this collection of players. they better get something decent for grant.

heck, that's kinda how we got rutherford b hayes! republicans decided to sell black folks down the river and end reconstruction by agreeing with white racist democrats that hayes would be president despite getting a lot less votes than tilden. ah white americans. forever sacrificing the rights of black people in the name of national unity.

where do you stand on vaccine mandates to return to work?

voter id is popular with americans. eliminating the filibuster is a great idea because the filibuster is ridiculous and prevents the party in power from running the government, but to pass this voting rights act? dumb hill to die on for the democrats. the real threat is at the state level. reform the electoral college voting procedures, dont waste your time trying to stop the republicans from eliminating "ballot harvesting" or making people show a drivers license or (good lord) passing out water at polling sites. that doesnt help you like you think it does and isnt as popular with voters as you think it is. stop the republicans from not certifying state electoral votes. that's the real potential crisis. people can bring their own water.

the unvaccinated people i know are anti-establishment people. some are anti-corporate liberals who do not trust the pharmaceutical industry, some are anti-government conservatives who do not trust the democratic party or government in general. all of them are very smart. i disagree with them about vaccines, but they're not stupid people.

MIKE ILITCH would have fired him a long time ago. and probably hired gallant.

i dont think blashill is here for the long haul, but i dont think he'll get fired mid-season. yzerman must think he improves guys and makes them better or else he would have fired him earlier. i think blashill will go when yzerman thinks the team is ready to take the next step and transition away from ultra defensive hockey to more of an open system. basically when they have enough skill players to compete night after night. they dont have that yet. maybe next year? probably in two years, assuming everyone stays healthy and continues to develop (which is not always a given).

that's really hurting joe biden and the democrats. whomever is in charge will be blamed.

the only public official or group whose satisfaction rate has improved over the last year in chicago? the police.
