Would you ask GrubHub to not send anyone Chinese or Italian to your door? Did you inquire about the nationality of any service worker you interacted with, and ask for someone who's not Italian or Chinese? What if they're only part

You're accusing a specific person of involvement in a major pandemic with evidence you admit is flimsy at best, with little to no hope of ever confirming.

You're using a "Nothing to hide" argument to counter this supposed "appeal to perfection". Lack of evidence is not evidence.

The lab needs to admit there was an accident, or an independent group of inspectors need to visit the lab to collect samples, review evidence, and make such a judgement. Neither of these are actually going to happen. The conspiracy nuts pro

This kind of witch-hunt logic belongs in the dark ages. Persecuting potential experts on the situation based on vague assumptions and rumors. Awful.

How did it come from a lab? I've heard "workers got sprayed with blood and infected", "someone screwed up"(vague), "mishandled lab waste". Just saying it "came from a lab", makes it sound man ma

A) COVID-19 doesn't kill everyone it comes in contact with. Depending on where you live, more people in the last 3 months may have become seriously ill from a food-borne illness than from COVID-19. B)Food-borne illness actually does ki

For capitalism and free markets to truly work, we need to move the needle more towards perfect information symmetry. People may be mature enough to make that decision, but are they provided the proper information to actually make the decisi

It's not a job, it's a gig. Don't go getting DoorDash in trouble. They might have to start treating their employees as employees!

No, that sounds like a private company trying to sound trendy. A startup has a small number of employees to start with and a 2 - 3 year window to go big, fizzle out, or pivot into a small - medium sized business. You're not a "sta

That doesn't answer the question at all. It sounds like you are saying you wouldn't work in those conditions. Why? Because the conditions are poor. Poor conditions with little alternatives... Hmm, one could say such situations are

This just sounds like marketing spin. It's hip to be a "startup" because that conjures up the idea that the company possesses certain advantages over larger organizations, even if it doesn't anymore.

A lot of the inaction was actually on behalf of the markets. Fear of upsetting Wall Street played a bigger part in not closing off access to China than meanies complaining about xenophobia. Also probably presidential denial of it being an a

How can you make that statement given the piss poor testing going on? The numbers are not trustworthy. Where are the drivethru testing centers, where anyone who wants a test can get one? Those were promised weeks ago. Tests are still being

The xenophobia remarks were probably more in relation to classifying it as a "Chinese problem" and the targeting of specific nationalities, instead of fully closing the borders, as if this was going keep us in our bubble of protec

Even in the real world the idea that "companies exist to make profit" sounds wrong. Companies exist to ideally output goods or services, and profit is a tool to ensure they can continue making those goods or services. It can be ha

All true statements. The same criticisms can be applied to any businesses within these industries initially looking to be given billions in monetary grants without equity in return.

Is that 1,000 NZD profit, or revenue? It also looks heavily reliant on volunteer effort, basically free labor.

Yes, a specific minimum speed would be required, otherwise you could claim IP over Pigeon or Postal Service would be sufficient. Also cost would play a role. LTE typically has restrictive caps and high costs, especially for at-home/hot
