    slagging on our lottery. will get the facts shared.

    its been 2 weeks since it was announced. 9 days since the first drawing andvthe second winner was announced last night.
    I feel bad for all of the poor souls being discriminated against because they refuse to get the vaccine.  If the world was fair, they would get double entries.  
    Finally we are at the same page..
    But with different reasons..
    Athens 2006. Dusseldorf 2007. Berlin 2009. Venice 2010. Amsterdam 1 2012. Amsterdam 1+2 2014. Buenos Aires 2015.
    Prague Krakow Berlin 2018. Berlin 2022
    EV, Taormina 1+2 2017.

    I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..

    Offering incentives and rewards to get vaccinated is capitalism at its finest…

    Communism would force you to get vaccinated at gun point and refusal to so would get you shot on the spot…

    BIG DIFFERENCE.  
    Sounds like the US should get in on the capitalistic incentive of tax funded and humane healthcare then.

    That's exactly right. 
    I didn’t even get an ice cream when I got vaccinated…I feel cheated.

    Ohio is a discriminatory nazi boot camp, as evidenced by your appalling situation.

    It seems the US government spends plenty on healthcare.

    if you think the US can just reverse course and make health care 100% public…then feel free to explain how you would accomplish this?

    The US is a country of over 330 million citizens and growing…they are not little old Sweden or Canada With much smaller populations to manage.

    But feel free to put forward an economic plan the US can adopt and implement…

    I gave you enough. Just like Jim Morrison in the desert in Waynes World 2.

    Being 330 million or whatever size of population is arbitrary. Little old Germany manage 80million people or whatever. 

    Now you, Meltdown99 go lead the path to change and getting acts together.

    Put on a rock concert.

    Cross-border tunnel vaccinations for Canadians — by pharmacists on U.S. side of a line — closer to reality


    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/windsor-detroit-tunnel-vaccines-1.6051051

    afterall this makes so much more sense than allowing the vaccines to be shipped into Canada….

    canada is run by amateurs and a bunch of activist losers…

    ummmm, wouldn't vaccination be considered essential travel?
    According to the government, no.  The Windsor mayor says he could access enough vaccine 2 offer is a 2 dose summer…this appears to be the only solution…I will go to the tunnel if that’s my option to get 2 dosed.  I think the border should be open anyways…

    U.S. side is. So Canadians can cross and Canada lets you guys back in.....

    curious, estimated population of Windsor and surrounding area?
    Our pop is around 700 thousands when you include the county.  The mayor of Windsor has said he could get around 600 thousand doses.  The US customs will turn us back if that’s why we are going over…

    I'm not sure GnR in 2021 is a reward...

    (but who knows. Maybe they'll premiere Hard School live and maybe Axl is fit for fight and his vocal chords rested)
