This is a biggie for me. Wife travels a work frequently (well used to) and we both love to vacation. A lot of families are lucky to a good 1 week vacation a year, usually road trip or driving destination. Then you save up for a year or two for one where you fly somewhere nice and they're contemplating this shit?
I've already had to get tested for a trip. 2 adults and 3 kids. One it's not pleasant for the kids. Two is just our time. Adults had to get separated separately. All the drive thru location by us wouldn't allow kids to do it. So now we have to go to a pediatrician, who pleasantly enough thought that Covid was bullshit, and poked my kids brains. I don't live in a city. All this running around took 5 hours. Then print out paperwork (not green... lol) and make sure not to forget it. The fill out more paperwork to get there for contact tracing. I've now got a fucking novel of paperwork, sunk time and we haven't even factored in costs of the trip.
All of this in the name of stopping a flu that kills past life expectancy old folks? If the proposals I've heard go into effect, this would easily cut domestic leisure and business travel. All things considered with the "pandemic" domestic travel has still been doing okay numbers after the initial shut downs (stop the spread BS).
Your other points are on point too. This one I comment on pisses me off the most. Got a quick golf trip to Phoenix next Tuesday and spring break down in the panhandle of FL in March. Really hope by May when all the idiots get "vaccinated" we can really start to open back up. Had 3 great trips last year, otherwise it was a dud compared to the previous 5. They pass national testing/vaccination for travel, it's a gateway to a bad place.
Although it would be massively hypocritical to need "paperwork" to travel, but we can't do voter ID (point 7)? Rant over.
Make it illegal to require testing or vaccination as a prerequisite for travel, work, commerce or health care or any other reason.

@WookieMan,
We are in a similar boat. Our last year's solution was to vacation in Great State of Tejas...until airlines and other businesses tell politicians to go and fuck themselves i am not leaving Tejas and not giving them my extra earnings.

I hate the mask thing but I've got my work around on the plane and it doesn't cause a problem. I'm not accepting of masks, I just like travel. I guess some airlines are banning anti-maskers. I've got too good a deal going with Southwest to fuck that up.
Everywhere else I'm a thin neck gaiter guy and won't pull it up from my neck until things escalate. Not many places can ban me when I'm on foot. I don't protest or troll obvious small businesses though. They're in a tough spot and it's not their fault. At big box places I just keep walking, pretend I can't hear them. Though I generally don't go to those types of places. Food or retail.
Flying to Phoenix for a quick golf trip with some buddies on Tuesday. IL cold weather doesn't bother me, but I'll usually get out for 5 days or so on my own without the fam and get some warmth. Need the break, especially taking in my nephew. Three kids isn't bad, just different and so it the situation. Touch burned out.
Last year I went to Montana, was going to again, but pulled the plug this year at the last second. I'm 90% after a broken heel, but not quite ready for big mountain snowboarding. I don't go there for the blue or greens, blacks all the way baby.
I hear you with the airlines though. They're huge business, but they're also in a tough spot. They employ a fuck ton of people too when you factor everything into it. I'm biased and indifferent on it. But you've got Boeing and its suppliers, tarmac/ground employees, pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, parking and rental bus drivers, TSA, terminal employees, construction of airports, refineries for Jet fuel, etc. I've probably missed a ton.
Airline restrictions via vaccination or negative covid tests would decimate a huge American industry at many levels further than what's already happened. Because of the flu. After it has been kicked in the nuts losing high revenue long haul international flights. And it fucks up my travel. Joe can fuck Hunter on crack if they fuck up my travel (is that safe Patrick?).

I'm not entirely sure about airline travel. It does seem like everyone is breathing everyone else's air in close quarters for hours, masks or no masks.
But that said, I've flown several times recently and had no problems. Going to fly again on Thursday.

A true virus relief package would consist of trials and executions of Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Prince Charles, the Pope, MI6 and CIA, and eradication of the City of London and the Vatican.

Now that we are in year two of 15 days to stop the spread, I would just like to thank our great political, media and corporate overlords for keeping us safe and helping us understand that we will never be safe until everyone follows their commands.
If people would just follow the science we could all go back to living a life of Covid lockdown without the fear of death, police violence, or anti-police violence riots, where everyone is free to leave their house between 6 am and 10 pm while double masked, fully vaccinated and carrying theIr fascist passport. Now that is true freedom, and a realization of American dreams.

Topogigio Fauci should be terminated, his pension cancelled, and he should be banned from CNN, ABC, CBS, CNBC, MSNBC, PBS, Fox, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.
Then, banish Fauci for life; he must live out his days at Epstein’s Pedophile Island forever.
All voting must be regulated like receiving the vaccine was; multiple ID checks and in person.
I’m annoyed with the bullshit we have been subjected to for over a year.

Nothing about child sex, but the island itself really is actually pretty nice. So that might be a reward to Fauci unless it gets hit with a Cat 5 hurricane, and then in that case put him there.

1. Fire Fauci and give him the choice to either a) admit that masks are not effective in preventing the spread of viruses, or b) being forced to wear two masks 24/7 for the rest of his natural life.
2. Open up all schools, churches and businesses immediately at full capacity.
3. Ban the wearing of masks in public, including workplaces unless they work with dusty/hazardous materials, or convicted of Faucicide.
4. Make it explicitly forbidden for a state, county, municipality or federal agency to order the blanket closing of business, schools, churches, private or public clubs etc... and any attempt to do so will be a crime known as Faucicide punishable by 20 years in prison and mandatory double masking 24/7 for the rest of the person’s natural life.
5. Cancel all Government orders for vaccines and give the money back to the American people who have not yet gotten any stimulus payments. Anyone who wants a vaccine can pay for it themselves. Let the market decide what (if anything) the experimental biological agent is worth.
6. Make it illegal to require testing or vaccination as a prerequisite for travel, work, commerce or health care or any other reason. The name for the crime of violation of this statute will be known as Bill and Melindafication and will be punishable by lethal injection or 20 years in Epstein’s cell followed by mandatory 4,000 hours of community service work collecting rectal swabs at public health clinics in blue cities where there are still a few people afraid they might have the China virus.
7. A federal ban on universal mail in ballots. All voting will be done in person with the only exception that an absentee ballot can be requested, but must be requested in person by the eligible voter no later than 15 days prior to an election.
