There is a huge difference between COVID and monkeypox in terms of public health danger. COVID is infectious for several days before any symptoms. This makes classical spread control mechanisms highly inefficient. You can reduce the human-t

They do, but how many viewing hours do you get from a single battery charge?

Yep, and then you do an anti-vaccine-mandate rally in Canada, one idiot with a swastika shows up, and then media goes on for weeks how everyone opposing vaccine mandates is a Nazi.

In general, when somebody is advising you against discerning, untangling and questioning, chances are, you are being manipulated.

Kinda, but you need to set the incentives right. Both the importer and the overseas manufacturer will have the incentive to underreport the emissions and overreport the paid carbon tax (China could easily collect it on paper, and then offer

The whole concept of emission standards and carbon taxes only makes sense if it's applied and enforced globally and uniformly. If an extra tonne of CO2 costs $1 in U.S. and $0 in China, the incentive isn't to reduce pollution - th

Talking about cruelty, people can understand you if they can relate to you and think "shit, this is tough, I would have to do the same in their place". You probably don't want to give away the exact financials (runway/fu

Well, yeah. The root of the problem isn't single-payer vs. out-of-pocket. The real problem is too many people competing for too little doctors and hospital beds. Making it centrally-funded won't magically warp new doctors from hyp

Rather cause and effect. We need efficient mitigations to problems occurring right now, not gestures that would have an effect 50 years from now, if only the rest of the world followed suit.

Existing long-term bonds take a hit. Because if today you can get a 6% bond maturing in 2030, nobody will buy your 3% bond unless you price it down accordingly. But if you keep getting them in 1-year increments as long as you expect the rat
