Howdy. The holidays suck for me and I was thinking about getting away for a week to decompress. My friend has a beach house near Supply(Holden Beach) and said I can stay there. So I looked up round trip tickets and they were less than $200 so I said why not. I've never been to this area and wondered a few things.
-
Is there a bus or train(doubt it) that can take me from the airport to Supply(Holden Beach) so I don't have to spend $100 on an Uber?
-
What's some rad stuff to do in the winter there? "Touristy" and "non-touristy"? (I'm in my 30s, in the music industry, and love organized chaos and nature)
-
Is the seafood fresh this time of year(possibly a dumb question)?
-
Any major do's or don'ts so as not to piss off the locals(if there are any)?
-
Thanks anyone who took time to respond for time is our most valuable commodity! 😊
HODL through it all. HODL TO VICTORY. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. nfa..
Up This Post: Biden v. Missouri (January 13, 2022)
Consider this NFBI v. OSHA’s mirror case. While OSHA couldn’t (likely) institute an emergency rule that forced large employers to mandate covid vaccines or weekly testing + masking, the Secretary of Health and Human Services can (likely) require healthcare facilities that receive Medicare/Medicaid funding to require vaccination of its employees. So, how do the justices explain the difference?
Well, because it’s different justices. Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with the dissenters from NFBI to form the majority this time around, so let’s see how this opinion mirrors the dissent’s reasoning in NFBI.
Some background first. The Health and Human Services Secretary is in charge of Medicaid/Medicare, which provides healthcare insurance for some 110+ million Americans. (link) Congress gave the Secretary the power to create rules to better administer the programs, and also rules “necessary in the interest of the health and safety of individuals who are furnished services in [a healthcare facility].” (opinion p. 2) Based on this statutory power, the Secretary over the years created numerous healthcare standards that facilities must meet to receive Medicaid/care funding. (see pp. 2-3) Then in November of 2021, the Secretary issued a rule that facilities require covid vaccines for staff, minus some exceptions. The Secretary skipped normal procedures for implementing the rule due to the emergency situation (technically, he found “good cause” for skipping the procedures). (p. 4)
With the table set, let’s dig into the majority opinion.
Majority: HHS can regulate healthcare conditions, why not this?
The majority’s argument is simple: the vaccine mandate fits within 1) the statutory language and 2) the Secretary’s historical practice of setting healthcare standards for Medicaid/care funding.
Let’s elaborate on these two points. The statute’s language allows the Secretary to create rules “necessary” for patient health and safety, and the majority says the vaccine mandate fits”neatly” within that language. (p. 5) Second, the Secretary has imposed similar conditions before, including standards of “surveillance, prevention, and control of . . . infectious diseases.” (p. 6) If the Secretary can mandate certain standards to insure control of infectious dise
