Because they have no option to stay at safe distances with over 100 guys in a dorm and just one COVID case will spread like wildfire in tight quarters with shared showers, toilets, etc. Just because they are paying consequences doesn't give a right to treat them inhumanely.

Public wants them in prison, they should take care of them. As. Person who has been in prison, the medical care is poor. People who are illegal aliens get better care. If you don't want to pay for it. Don't put people in prison.

I think they should get the vaccine, but definitely NOT before seniors. OR teachers have already been given priority over seniors. You only have to look at the daily stats of who exactly is dying of Covid every day and it is seniors!!

Good citizens can't get it so why do they deserve to get it?!!! They should wear masks and wait their turn like everyone else. So they are working on vaccinating people 80 years old and older and don't even have enough for them!!!

Everyone seems to be getting prioritized over our seniors, who are the most vulnerable. Take care of our seniors!!!

We should be vaccinating the vulnerable population (elderly and those with underlying conditions) before vaccinating healthy teachers or healthy prisoners. We're literally killing thousands of elderly and high-risk people with these decisions.

If we keep it up inmates will have more rights than ones who has never been in trouble. Inmates even get all of their medical & Dental needs paid in full but someone like me who has never been in trouble can't even afford Dental because medicare don't have dental or vision & Bend don't want to help.

Prison officials must implement ALL safety measures, that law abiding citizens are practicing, including masks, gloves, sanitation, quarantine-no more than SIX persons together in any room or activity at any one time! Educate the prisoners so they understand the importance of compliance!

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
