You can't simply acculturate businesses against it- they will slowly be replaced by other businesses headed by ruthless sociopathic maximizers of shareholder value. This is the guaranteed outcome given this way of organizing commerce.

Even if the study is true, this doesn't follow. You only get to limit your response if you have the capability to do actual testing... which we didn't and still largely don't.

It could be a good thing for Amazon at this moment, due to the reasons you listed, or it could indicate unknown issues. And from the descriptions of Bezos I've heard, he can be an obsessive micromanager type, flying down to make super

We can't test people doing deliveries because we don't even have tests. Even if we did have tests, at some point nearly everyone is going to have the virus- especially delivery workers. There will literally not be enough people to

The answer to financial ruin is not to force everyone back into contact again, it's to give normal people their fair share of the bailout. We took something like 15,000 dollars out of everyone's future earnings for the bailout, an

It's not reasonable. You can't quarantine vulnerable people completely. If everyone gets it, every bag of groceries is going to be covered in COVID and an enormous number of quarantined people will die. You can't tell who&#x2

I don't understand. We had Rahm Emmanuel on the job. Seriously though, this is classic pablum. The kind of thing that gets whispered and then can't be turned off, and ends up being eagerly adopted by people who know they're g
