These are the same doctors that we now doubt their competence in when it comes to pausing vaccination with J&J and AZ, or are these doctors somehow more credible?

All of a sudden we need a QALY analysis to justify an immediate reaction from the government? Things sure have changed in the past couple hours when it comes to What people think is required of America’s COVID19 response.

Then she should get the vaccine. In fact, the CDC says she should: "Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19." What additional actions should be taken by the medical system or the political sys

You say that you "respect [me] and [my] time" but also that you're only interested in helping me on your own terms and at your leisure, even if I'm completely blocked. And you say that if I'm completely blocked the

It sounds like you want to be a contractor, not an employee. I would imagine that your job description, if it exists, includes language such as "teamwork," "mentoring," and "problem solving" and does not inclu

Well it seems like you've shifted the goal posts now to me. The original conversation was about whether a certain government mandate (read: official guidance) is supportable by a "greater good" argument and now you've c

It's an interesting claim you make about the authorities making something up. Compare your views on COVID mask usage and the changing requirements/recommendations from the authorities (CDC, WHO, whatever your local health organiz

You're talking about the Muslim head covering requirement here, right? Because it seems to both protect from COVID and protect from whatever harm the Muslim countries think women showing a little skin will cause. Do you think that We

The arguments that both sides use to support their positions don’t recognize such a limitation, so why should the middle ground you propose be where we draw the line? People opposed to masks claim an infringement in their rights. People in

I think we agree in general and are just quibbling about the details of how to budget correctly (timeframes, line items, etc.). Most of the issues that come up with these stories of people getting their budgets slashed if they don't s

We’re arguing about different things it appears. This thread started with someone saying that a team coming in under budget should is “owed” that money in the future by management. I said this isn’t so and that it’s a self centered and myop

by abduhl 6y ago
Top management doesn’t “owe” them any money when they need it later. Say you budget $100 for dinner tonight and you go out and it costs $75. Do you owe the restaurant $25? While certainly some people might roll the $25 into the next day’s m

You start by saying "you feel your options are limited to X or Y" and then go on to say "X is the last refuge of the incompetent, do nothing" implying there is some other option besides Y when you do nothing? So your rea

The tension is resisted via the steel, not the CMU/mortar interface. Masonry behaves similar to concrete (that’s what the C in CMU stands for...) and suffers from the same issue as concrete re: lack of tensile strength. It is not the m

I'm not arguing that the harm isn't there. I'm arguing that the harm they cause is second order and smaller. And just as a small rebuttal: the small companies are usually owned by larger companies. So while they may not be

Yes. Even more than McKinsey is responsible for the opioid crisis. Instagram built the evil product, McKinsey just told someone how to better weaponize an already evil product.

If we were to rank large companies based on how horrible they are to society then certainly McKinsey is indeed “far from a normal company.” They’re far lower than the normal company, in my opinion. I’d go so far as to say they’re not even i
