  The President in 2050: and so to curb the pandemic of obesity I will be signing these executive orders that will require OSHA to require all businesses to require their employees to take this new anti-obesity vaccine that is guaranteed to drop your BMI. Press: Mr. President what is the threshold for obesity? President: The threshold is a BMI above 30. Press: Will there be any medical or religious exceptions provided? President: Sadly no. Press: What about people who are obese but able to drop their BMIs by other methods? President: They will still be required. I’ve been patient with them but now my patience has worn thin. Press: Lastly, what about people who are already under the BMI for obesity or even those who are considered underweight. If they aren’t part of the problem will they be required to take this vaccine as well? President: Yes of course they will. I’ve already said we each have to do our part. Think of our kids.

John Doe: I think I'm okay with the idea of a government vaccine mandate. If you're teetering on the edge of the cliff then you obviously should make every effort to get away from the cliff [and take the vaccine]. Me: But I've already survived covid, so from my view I'm not on the edge of the cliff and therefore don’t need to take the shot. John: Well you should still want to take it just in case. Me: But I don't. John: But you should. Me: Okay, make me. John: What? Me: Make me want to take it. Offer me a bribe. Give me $10,000 and I’ll get the shot. John: No! Me: Okay so what, $1,000? $500? John: No and no. Me: ...You aren't doing a very good job of offering me any incentive. Come on, you've been telling me this is really important. So how important is this? What would you be willing to give me? John: 50 cents. That's as high as I would go. Me: Really? 50 cents...Not even enough to buy something off the McDonald's dollar menu. Our country is suppose...
