It now has come down to a Florida vs the CDC lawsuit. Anything can happen now. Stay tuned. -Tom
Great news. The CDC won’t allow cruising unless they’re pushed.
How does the CDC have legal authority to shut down an industry, but hundreds of thousands our of work, and cost that industry hundreds of millions of dollars?
If you want OFF or ON my ping list for Cruises let me know by freepmail. -Tom
The CDC needs to be shuttered. Everyone fired. Decision makers thrown in prison for abusing American’s civil rights. When non-elected people have the ability to essentially make law and shutter businesses they become the enemies of freedom.
California, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, and New Jersey should join this.
Yeah! I didn’t know the CDC had this authority.
I have, yet another, dumb question: What authority does the CDC have over the cruise industry?
Amen. If they can become dictators due to any declaration of emergency, there will always be a declaration of emergency.
The ports are not run by the feds. They should open up operations and see how the feds respond.
The thing that could hurt them is if the feds refuse to process customs on the way back. Then again, if illegals can cross without customs, why can’t we??
YUP.
CDC is using an obscure ancient law which allows them to take measures to stop spreading communicable diseases. But as the governor said, things are radically different now compared to March 2020. The vaccines are extremely popular and proven effective in creating anti-bodies to covid-19 including any varients, and people are lining up for them, and the treatment in hospitals is so much more effective now than last summer.
CDC is an institution full of big government bureaucrats who like nothing more than overuse their power. They seem to forget they work for us, not the other way around.
And with sleepy Joe at the helm, who has fed at the government trough for all his working life, he is doing the bidding of DNC to take out governor DeSantis who is very popular in Florida and likely to be a leading candidate running in 2024 against incumbent democrat president Kommiela.
See my post #12.
Our legislators have allowed somre Govt. agencies to make rules nd reulaions that have the effect of laws.
For example; Govt. Fishery agencies tell us what fishwe can't have onboard , when we can fish, where we can fish, what amount of a fish species we can have on board,who needs to have what fishing licenses, etc.
If you violate those regulations you will be fined or possibly jailed, as has happened to hundreds of fishermen.
Multiply that by all the other Govt. agencies that are making regulations and you can see how easy it is to be in violation of some Govt. Agency law.-Tom
Maybe the cruise ships just need to run up a black flag and ignore the CDC. CDC can’t stop them once they are in international waters!
Maryland has a cruise port in Baltimore, but I don’t expect the fat, corrupt oaf Larry Hogan to join in.
HOW THE HELL DID THE CDC GET TO BE SO POWERFUL????
There are nasty viruses worse than Corona on cruise ships all the time and people still choose these types of vacations. Let people take care of their own bodies and make their own choices. This is absurd. The pharmacy on board can stock all the treatments for Covid of which there are several. Life is risky every minute of everyday.
It is targeted economic warfare against Florida, Texas an California. Florida and Texas especially, since they are moreso Republican states.
