Well personally I'm an ancap so I consider all laws/executive orders to be implicitly (and often explicitly) backed by the police power of the state. You can say that the government requiring employees to be vaccinated isn't violent police power because they're not holding them down and injecting them, but what exactly will the state do if the employer doesn't comply? They'll send in the guys with guns to enforce.
Really it's such a small thing to be splitting hairs over though. If you prefer, just read what I wrote and mentally s/violent police power/coercion
- tomrod 5y agoRepeating the question as you didn't really answer it, and as a minarchist I view ancap theories as infeasible even if interesting: > Where, exactly, is anyone in the US "using violent police power to compel people to consume a pharmaceutical product"? Your answer, as I read it, is "never, but they could, and that is concerning!" I like Bill Burr's glorious response to the slippery slope argument, "Where does it stop? F#$@%#@%@ somewhere!"
- __blockcipher__ 5y agoSorry if I wasn’t clear enough. It’s being used in places like Biden’s federal mandate that will (when they announce the actual OSHA rule) slap private companies with massive fees if they have unvaccinated employees
- nobody9999 5y agoI didn't realize that OSHA came to workplaces with firearms and shoots those who don't follow the regs. I guess you learn something new every day. Please.
