Fauci was also for banning hiv/ aids patients from public places in the 80s. Because a novel disease was thought to be more communicable, more deadly, and more of a pandemic than it really was.

Actual healthcare providers are likely contracted companies and/or workers, and not direct employee hires. Moreso for physicians and mid-levels, but sometimes nurses and techs, as well. (Although idk about the subject of this story, sp

It's the businesses choice to make healthcare a job benefit. I know we've gotten to where the practice it's common, but that doesn't make it any less of a business decision. So what happens when companies start screening

Plenty of medicines are used for multiple things. Just because something is labeled X, doesn't preclude it from also being effective at Y. I'm not claiming that ivermectin is effective or not, but there is an incentive in preventi

Part of the Israeli study showed that the viral count/load of breakthrough infections was not significantly lowered compared to non-breakthrough infections.

They do not. 3rd & inches from the 1 would indicate the chance to get a 1st down, and additional downs to score.

Pretty standard for them to call out "3rd & Goal from the 5" or, graphically, above "3rd & goal" a pop-up text with an arrow ">Ball at %Team% 5".

That's not really any different than referring to the law vs a law. They both work in most contexts.

No- ownership determines disposition of property, not government. For instance, in most jurisdictions, a dispute between two (claimed) property owners can only be decided by them, in full agreement, with the courts stepping in only when a s

No- it's really not, but that's irrelevant. Sacrificing your personal interests and goals because you want to be in a place with people where you fit-in is the very definition of popularity, regardless of your social rank within t

One of the early arguments for a first strike was the ability to target military installations only. Due to the limitations in early US targeting ability, a US counter strike likely meant having to go with a counter-value response instead o

No- those losses (less the engine idle speed) are relatively larger for electric, because alternator loss is already baked into the efficiency for ice engines.

No- electric motors generally perform better at lower speeds, gas at higher speeds. Especially so in direct comparison. Which is why hybrids often switch from electric to gas past some determined speed.

For an engine rpm yes, for a moving body, not so much. Energy in a vacuum is proportional to velocity squared, and energy required with wind drag is iirc 4th power of velocity. So even with an engine designed to be most efficient when the c

The inspections might differ, but most states that require vehicle inspections do so yearly. And most include an emissions test, which reduces the need for complex mechanical inspections, and largely negates differences in inspection "

Not especially- because generally whenever zoning is enacted, the current land owner gets to decide the initial zone of their property. And land that is already zoned can't be rezoned without the current property owners consent. So the

The increased hardship for landowners post 1973 is fact. The endangered species act turns affected land into a liability instead of being an asset. The original response was that if they were able to enjoy the use of their land before 1973,

If it became a NWR, then the government eventually took/ acquired it from him (or his successor). The details of how that happened, whether it was their choice, and how they were compensated for it are what matter. But it sounds like h

Because the argument isn't for regulation, it's against lobbying and it's against having a government that's influenced by corporatism/ capitalism (because that's largely what lobbying is). Which pretty clearly

Saying that "but for" corporate/capitalistic influence, government would be benevolent is very much implying that countries without capitalism shouldn't have corruption.

The incentive is to kill/not-kill the animals, not necessarily protect the habitat. The only fix I can see is making it a worthwhile rational decision: incentives for reporting endangered animals that are worth more than the value in d

I only speculated/generalized because that situation has happened, thousands of times, just not with the interesting backstory. Landowner discovers he has an endangered species, reports it, gets rewarded by having his property restrict
