Not at all. You asked for an example, I gave two.


And that's it? Those 2, are the reasoning of your response that "religious schools are allowed to discriminate" (paraphrasing). Also, what can/can't you do at those universities. I don't follow them enough to know of their requirements.

Also, do you really want to use private schools as an apt comparison to the airline industry?

When we've gotten to a point where the GOP is treating corporate America as if they're some untouchable sovereign entity that's above reproach, that's when the GOP has jumped the shark.

It's a mindset that started in the 80s and has only gotten worse since.

Within reason.

Government will always have a role and a responsibility to stymie corporate overreach.

Actually, this is incorrect. The business is making that choice for the individual in this instance.


What?

The business would, in effect, be forcing the employee to waive his or her 4th amendment rights as a condition of employment. At minimum, extremely problematic. The best parallel I could make is a drug test, but I’m not sure the interests of the business could be argued similarly with a vaccine passport.

And unlike Christian bakery or Hobby Lobby, there is no religious protection for the business to leverage

Someone as ignorant as the op in even asking this question really does not deserve a response let alone 7 pages . If they are too stupid to understand the concept by now, they will never comprehend any response.

Fill in 1930s Germany and ask why companies can’t require all Jews to wear a star ... there is your answer.

Also, these companies did not come up with this out of the blue, the cdc/govt was recommending and rc wanted to start sailing

But... hey... why do we need context

Two is more than zero.

I didn't say it was all schools. And that's my point. If more school did it, they would have trouble finding paying customers.

Again, the market works.

I'm not comparing two industries... I'm discussing all industries.

The business is absolutely deciding for the individual.

"You can't do business with me until you get medical treatment that I dictate."

His point is that the individual isn’t forced to accept it. They can resign.

I don’t necessarily agree with that, but he isn’t wrong.

You can't?

Companies want employees to not have drugs in their body (pass a drug test) because they believe employees on drugs will, at best, skip out on working, at worst, their drug use will cause problems at work (someone high driving a forklift and crashing it, for example).

An unvaccianted employee *could* infect other customers and employees, etc.

So presumably you are against night clubs and restaurants that have dress codes right?

So then we should force a bakery to bake a cake for a tranny, right?

Why should the private corporation have the power to decide to not do so?

The OP was about vaccine passports in general, not employment. My posts are directed at businesses that would require vaccine passports in order for a customer to do business with them.

So? People come to work sick all the time. You ok with firing anyone who is sick, pregnant, or injured? Where do the company’s rights end and mine begin? When are rights absolute?

At least Hobby Lobby could point to religious protections In the constitution to justify their position. You don’t have that here. The employee, however, could argue that his 4th amendment rights are being violated.

Look, you are clearly stupid as frick and ill equipped to have this debate. That said, I know you won’t go away so I’ll leave you with this, again. Nothing is absolute. Not all cases are the same. If they were, we wouldn’t need a judicial system.

Medical records fall under constitutional protections, personal dress doesn’t.

Cmon man. You’re better than this.

You made the comparison to a drug test.

Yes, I did. That’s the best comparison I could make. Why would I refute my own analogy?

You, on the other hand, made the lazy and Retarded comparison to Hobby Lobby.

I am a little confused. Can you square this up for me?

First...

quote:

If a business wants to require all of their customers to be vaccinated, they should have that right.

Let the market decide. If it's a crappy policy, then their business will fail because of it.


And then....

In one instance, you are against government saying a business can't do something and then in another, you are for it.
