As a country, we all went a little apesh*t last summer and bought out the country's supply of toilet paper and Clorox wipes in a matter of days. The reason? Scarcity!

What we're hearing now is that we are awash in vaccines, which is prompting people to think, "yeah, I'll get around to it, it's no big deal."

I think we need to change the narrative: vaccines are really, *really* hard to get. There's a chance we'll run out. You need to get yours now, before it's too late.(optional narrative): Sleepy Joe is sending everything to (fill in the blank country), because he isn't putting Americans first like Trump did.

I think it could work.

I just saw that and was going to post it.

I think Governor Mike wins the award for best incentive.....

You know, at the beginning of the vaccination roll-out, I was wondering if people were all the more anxious to get it because they *couldn’t* get it yet. So we all were scrambling to find our window of eligibility. And we got it.

Scarcity definitely made it attractive.

So let’s start sending our excess vaccines to India! Snooze, you lose, USA!

Maybe I’m just lucky, but I’ve known several anti-vaxers who have died from Covid, and a couple of “it’s a hoaxers” who were similarly afflicted.

I’m not feeling real charitable.

If I were vaccinated in Ohio, I'd definitely go for the Lottery.

Since only the vaccinated are eligible, your odds of winning are far better than in a traditional lottery...I think...unless I'm missing something.

Our astute and hardworking governor also announced today that Ohio will quit participating in the federal unemployment subsidy on June 26.

He's a great guy. Very impressive.

I think he's done a great job.

But the posse is after him.

How vulnerable do you think he is?

I don't know that DeWine will run again. After all the freaking abuse for a job magnificently done I wouldn't. He was rich before he ever went into politics. Knew his family, but have never met him in person.

I suspect the guy is tired. He's entitled.

Also I don't trust Renacci. Too much Northeast Ohio which means connections with the DeBartolo family. Nice state you got there. Shame if something should happen to it.

I think Steve Miller will have to change his last name to Mugnaio when he moves there. Ole
