“Huffman’s effort to control the venue backfired in a big way when minutes after the meeting commenced about 200 enraged, shouting anti-vaccination protestors stormed into the room. They were mask-free, some wore buttons proclaiming unvaccinated status. Flags included the Stars & Stripes, and banners stating, “Don’t Tread on Me” and “Fuck Joe Biden”.

“Democratic state Representative Brian Sims shared a few truths with his Republican colleagues on the floor of the Pennsylvania House, truths that they deemed so “inflammatory” they literally cut his mic – twice – and ordered his comments stricken from the official record.

My response to the incentives?…
Cannabis…donuts…gift certificates…beer…one million dollar vaccine lottery prizes?…
The only thing I take issue with, is the fact that this whole thing has been grossly unfair to those who simply went and got vaccinated, yet they were never given any chance to participate in these lotteries and freebies.
Someone who grudgingly relents and takes the vaccine, might end up being one of the people who gets handed a million dollars…for merely taking the vaccine…which was entirely free to them…
…Meanwhile, people who did it because they want to protect others, and just want the pandemic to end, may not even be able to have a chance at these one million dollar, life changing prizes.
It is an incredibly sad testimony…that you have to coax the least willing element in with prizes, just to get this done…
…but it’s equally ridiculous, how many have been entirely left out of this little bonanza.
…I could use one million dollars.
Honestly…there has been a ton that’s unfair about the last year and a half…A lot of people have been able to set home, collecting checks…while others of us were forced out into the public, having to deal with the public, being worked relentlessly for our normal pittance of pay…sometimes getting sick along the way.
I don’t blame the people collecting those checks, given everything going on…but when people are typically being handed two or three times what I bring in a week, just for staying home?…
…yeah…
…The pandemic wasn’t so financially fat for me…What increases I got, came from putting in the extra hours of work…and taking on all the extra risk.

“Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has a few burning questions.
When Politico’s Natalie Fertig introduced herself to Sanders as the publication’s cannabis reporter, Sanders asked, incredulously, if she was “stoned” right now. The senator then wondered out loud if being stoned was a job “requirement,” to which Fertig replied, “It’s actually not.”
He’s probably just asking for a friend.
