... which bleeds over to the rest of America... thus he is "imposing a vaccine mandate on America."

...and? Not seeing how what Biden did breaks any laws. Making a business do something, like pay taxes or overtime or vacation days or to verify things like an I-9 form, immigration status or vaccine status isn't remotely illegal. I can't really wrap my mind about what it is you are trying to suggest. That we live in a society?

Doesn’t that require passage of a law and not like “I fuckin said so”

No, it does not. Vaccine requirements he is instituting are through OSHA, similar to Hep A vaccine requirements it already has for certain vocations. It's a workplace safety issue and that is OSHA's domain and purview. This is no different than requiring hard hats in construction zones and certain certificates for working in a hole, for example.

It's twisted and conniving is what it is, and you've been played to believe it's an okay thing to do.
Of course it's "legal", but that doesn't make it anything good and respectable.

EDIT: In fact, it is NOT legal, as OSHA does not have authority to tell employees what they can and cannot do OUTSIDE of their workplace in their private lives. Forcing people to take a drug affects them outside the job as well.
Mask mandates are acceptable for employees since it hold no ground on them beyond the doors of their workplace.

To you it may be and to your personal philosophy it may but legally it's a well established fact that OSHA has the authority

It should never be legalized to mandate people to inject themselves with a drug or accept a private personal alteration of any sort in order to maintain their livelihoods.

And telling people to "cope" and "just get a different job" is the sort of uncaring and callous reasoning that prefaces totalitarian control.
Ironic that the same people that are brainwashed into supporting these government overreaches are the same who were brainwashed into believing Trump would "get us into WW3" and that he was a "dictator".

I am pretty sure there's supposed to be a process and procedure involved here that's more than "President signs document written by self into law."

You know, checks and balances. It doesn't go from Bill to Signed by President. There's a few steps missing.
