Idiots are probably serving 2004 Barolo. Man, that was a shit vintage.

Barolo loses its fastball as it ages, and certainly gets more full bodied, but how many other wines can pitch for 20 seasons?
It’s got some secret ingredients though, pretty bad stuff, but even after people learned about them its popularity hasn’t changed.
It’s a small group, but distinguished. Off the top of my head, I’ll tell you that Petite sirah ages at a glacial pace and pitches well into its 40’s. Hunter Valley Semillon ages at a geologic pace now that most examples are under screw cap. I’ve got more than a few bottles from the early 2000’s that still taste like they were bottled yesterday. I was going to make a bad joke about being like Nolan Ryan vs. Robin Ventura, but Nolan was pitching for the mouth breathers in Arlington, so I won’t.

Supreme Court strikes down vaccine mandate for large employers. 6-3 decision. I don’t have to give a breakdown of who voted how. Once again, Trump fucks over the United States of America.
Somehow the notion that Republicans are about to encourage ingestion of cannabis as opposed to the vaccine makes me ill.
My company - which has been quite grown-up about this whole thing - sent a missive yesterday afternoon, while the ink was still drying on the ruling, reversing its vax-or-mask/test requirements for our offices.
I imagine the legal department have thrown up their hands at this point. They’re either going to get sued for not maintaining a safe workplace, or they’re going to get sued for infringing some snowflake’s “right” to infect other people.

We just got the email Wednesday night about the testing. We have not seen one reversing yet, though I assume that’s coming as soon as Abbott decrees testing illegal. We have had the masking/distancing policy in effect since September, and vaxxed folks have sticker, so I expect that will not change.

I’m not sure how Biden can’t require vaccines, but Abbot can declare private employers can’t require vaccines.
You generally don’t need a breakdown on political hot topic 6-3 decisions. It’s pretty evident.
I’ve only skimmed the opinion, but the logical extension is that OSHA probably shouldn’t exist at all anymore. If the reasoning is that catching COVID isn’t exclusively a workplace harm because you can catch it in other places, then that should probably apply to workplace fire prevention, falling off of ladders, and pretty much any typical peril.

It’s going to be interesting when SCOTUS declares that the state cannot force you to wear a mask (the vaccine was an option to exempt you from mask-wearing) but can force you to carry a rapist’s baby to term. Even it it kills you.
By interesting, I mean head-explodingly stupid.

Since the SC will always justify what they want with whatever lame reasoning, it wouldn’t really matter, but I do think Biden (with the help of the incompetent press) badly branded OSHA’s rule. It should have always been branded as a rule to prevent disease spread within the workplace through testing and masking, or vaccine. Even today, it’s characterized as the “vaccine mandate was overturned” which also includes the critical testing and masking part of the rule.
A better branding would presumably have made the opinion writers work a bit harder, showing that preventing a virus spread disease within the workplace is somehow different than preventing a chemical spread disease.

I agree that it was a mistake to let it become branded as a “vaccine” mandate instead of a mask mandate. But the RW media was going to define it however they wanted and this SCOTUS has been designed to do exactly this kind of stuff, so it was fucked from the start.
Sometimes though, it’s worthwhile to get caught trying. If you want to build a narrative towards expanding the number of seats on the court, having a grab bag of unpopular 6-3 rulings is a good thing.

Brownie points to you for clinging to this hope, but it’s evident to basically everyone else that it’s not going to happen.
