Yes, many of the workers who died were in front-line / public-facing jobs. I heard "line cook" was one of the jobs with the highest mortality level. So tragic.

Activists are long on ideas but short on technical know-how. Someone like you, willing to volunteer your skills even part-time, would be a God send. I would suggest focusing on work that motivates and scales, just as people do in the for-pr

The estimates I saw were 3.5 million took early retirement. Also, sorry this is grim, but the pandemic has also killed hundreds of thousands of people. Many of them were workers.

I think most people are missing the even greater impact of this bill. If it's allowed to stand, it sets a precedent of "I didn't make xyz illegal, that's unconstitutional -- I just set up a system to reward vigilante ant

The evidence that sars 1.0 was airborne was already in medical journals. I am not a scientist or a doctor, but I found it on pubmed in feb of 2020. While the history of science aspect to the denial is important, we cannot discount good old

One guy they profiled is making $20 an hour in Toledo, Ohio. If he's working full time, that's 40k a year. Zillow has a number of houses for sale in Toledo for under $40k. Like, they need some work, but a real house, under 40k.

They could start by posting surveys in women's bathrooms. If Apple is like other tech company's, the C suite folks will all be cis men and never go in the women's bathrooms. Once the women gather data they'd have to figu

This is very Spanish. I remember reading something years ago about how there weren't good laws or consequences in Spain to force people to pay debts. So in response, a company sprang up to follow debtors all day with people dressed in

I mention co-infections because the treatment for Lyme (doxycycline) is not as effective with some coinfections. Like I think the treatment for Babesia is clindamycin + some form of quinine. It's a parasite that infects red blood cells

If memory serves, some diseases can trigger something called Mast Cell Activation, which in effect...makes your body get allergic reactions to tons of things. I HIGHLY recommend that, if it's in your budget, she make an appointment a

Researchers have done autopsies on Lyme patients who have been treated with antibiotics multiple times, and they have still found in some cases that the bodies of the deceased had active, post-antibiotic infection. https://www.fr

Especially if you buy 4 times the fruit, and half of it goes bad! Household management really is an art and a science, it's a shame it's not taught the way it used to be.

Amy Dacyzyn, who wrote The Tightwad Gazette, gives some good guidance here. She talks about what your total return per hour is on doing something frugally. If changing your own oil takes 15 minutes and saves you $15, then you "earn&quo

When I was poor I did odd jobs for a friend who'd made it big and was now a millionaire. I thought he had it made, until one day I heard him complaining about a friend of his who'd made 50 million. Then I realized that in spite

Yes! You don't have to wait for your planner to boot up, you don't have to have a special pen, you don't have to worry about charging a battery....plus you can doodle.

A quick glance at the Levenger website leads me to conclude that if you call it a "writing tool," you can add $30 to the price. Similarly, if you call the planner cover "vegan leather" instead of "plastic"...

This is good to know! Maybe it's because I worked with mostly 20-something's in my last job, and they were always obsessed with the newest tech fad.

I went with an Erin Condren vertical layout coiled planner, which is very colorful and pretty, so I don't think that is what you are looking for ;-). However, the same brand has a line of neutral & undecorated planners with blue&#x

I LOVE bullet journals, and all of the youtube videos on different layouts are a wonderful rabbit hole to fall into! However, I'm finding that I like a daily layout and at present I don't have the energy to re-draw 365 days. Also

A really nice paper planner that works for the way I think. For years I was around developers a lot and so they tend to push the mentality that the best tool for organization must be digital. So I tried Trello, google calendar, various ha

Hard agree. Especially since modern farming methods create food with much less nutritional value than it used to have. But nobody gets rich off of magnesium supplements, so we don't check magnesium levels for anxiety (for example). If

If you are lucky, your PCP will check for the physical causes of depression, such as the ones you have just described. Sadly, in my experience as a person with depression, most of the time they just hand you a free sample of an SSRI and cal

While this is true technically, in practice many companies will make an excuse to fire employees who take "too many" sick days. Like if there are layoffs, the sickly employee will be in the round of layoffs. Also, if you work a se

You write that 50% of nearly 3k Euros is bad. I can see where it would be bad. But in the US, you would have to fight tooth and nail for YEARS to get disability coverage that "good." US Disability payments average around $1500 or

Look, we can either make sacrifices for the environment, or we can come up with special reasons why this particular sacrifice is too inconvenient. Given that the Pacific Northwest has had 115 degree days this summer and an entire town in Ca

The other side of this essay is that there are a lot of abusive parents out there. Part of the reason a lot of children go no-contact nowadays is similar to why there are so many more divorces -- economic and societal structures now allow p
