The Atlas Asylum of absurd/ignorant posts IX

It sounds like Biden is asking OSHA to do this, so certain details (like remote employees and when it takes effect) might not be known until the OSHA order.  Still, I think this is so far beyond the president's powers.

OSHA’s regulations quite literally have never been enforced outside of the health and safety industries. This is going to crash our economy before it inevitably gets struck down by lawsuits.

Nothing I said there was factually incorrect.

Literally how

Millions of unvaccinated people will not show up to work or may get fired. This will inevitably cause our economy to spiral downwards and crash.

[DeSantis is] also an incredibly high IQ individual, which is obvious after talking to him for around five seconds.

I've actually met the guy, and I (and everyone else I know who has met him) can confirm that he is a fairly high IQ person. You don't graduate from Yale or Harvard while being a dumbass.

Well, it wouldn’t be Atlas without some nice liberal seething.

I thought Republicans like yourself were anti-elite, but clearly, you believe a measure of a man's intelligence is his alma mater. First of all, how is that relevant to specifically meeting DeSantis? You don't need to meet DeSantis to know he's from Yale or Harvard. Second, you don't necessarily need to be intelligent to graduate from there - or do you know absolutely nothing about George W Bush before his political career? (To enlighten you, let me explain - GWB is actually not that intelligent, but graduated from Yale and Harvard because his father was a powerful politician. GWB himself got poor grades and had to use GHWB's prestige to enter the colleges.) And even otherwise, one can enter college because they are skilled at sports (like DeSantis). DeSantis isn't automatically intelligent just because he went to Yale and Harvard. In fact, he isn't intelligent period, which can be seen without meeting him, by just looking at how he's handled COVID19.

Ask Jay Bhattacharya (a man I actually respect) what he thinks of DeSantis and come back to me.

Why am I not surprised you "actually respect" a man who, per Wikipedia, "has been a prominent opponent of lockdowns and mandates" and who advocated "letting the virus spread in lower-risk groups"?

If Bhattacharya has a positive opinion of DeSantis, that's not really a good testament to DeSantis's intelligence. (And by the way, this farther proves the point I made earlier - despite having 4 (!!) degrees from Stanford, Bhattacharya is an idiot when it comes to COVID19.)

I'm sure Dr. Bhattacharya is really upset about an Atlas user calling him an idiot.

DeSantis and Bhattacharya being called idiots by someone like you actually makes them even more intelligent in my book.

I am opposed to slavery but i am opposed to yankee filth even more

I do not care for many of John Brown’s actions, but Yellowhammer’s recent takes on the Civil War likely caused me to lose a not-insignificant amount of grey matter.
