Biden's new tougher requirements for employers to stop the spread of Covid is clearly warranted on the medical end. Delta requires that we get more and more people vaccinated. Vaccine mandates work.
There's a second question of: what will the political impact be?
The usual mediots will rush to the nearest Ohio diner to interview guys in MAGA hats as to what they think about Biden's plan. Ignore them.
Covid is THE issue for 2022. Afghanistan will have faded into the background by then, unless the Taliban decide to attack us, which they won't, because they aren't idiots. No, the issue will be the recovery, both medical and economic from the pandemic.
Basically, Biden is counting on the 75% of adults and the larger percentage of suburban, college educated voters - the sort of people who vote in midterms - to support this policy. That's not a terrible gamble.
We are exhausted, and as Biden says, we've lost our patience with Spreadnecks.
