You don't think the murder rate and violent crime numbers have anything to do with it? Or any of the blatant political favoritism people saw with who still had rights under covid restrictions and who didn't? I think even people th

But people in places with fewer covid restrictions have a much better ability to spend it, and have been. Eg, beach condos are getting 3-4x normal prices this summer and are still sold out.

Are you suggesting CoL has nothing to do with political policy? People might not want to admit to themselves that they want to be republicans, but they sure want to live wherever republican policy dominates.

I suspect that's based on what amount section 8 will pay, not what working people can afford.

This is the correct approach, if done properly. If it really ends up being a useful task and not pointless, your boss should be willing to expend additional resources in addition to your time. You take it seriously, which requires additiona

It's proprietary wireless, usually people just say zwave. My point was that it's not like most iot devices that try to find an open internet connection to phone home. They're 100% as isolated as you want them to be.

They don't have wifi, unless you mean the z-wave protocol, which is a separate wireless protocol. You can add a zwave controller that translates ip commands from a home server to zwave commands, but it can be wired or wifi (or usb). Yo

No- designing and depending on a vaccine based on a single gene is what will (has already) lead to variants. It's no coincidence that lambda has 3 separate mutations on the spike protein targeted by the mrna vaccine.
