"[transient homeless] generally refuse to get services" Is this because the services don't really offer effective help for this group? I understand why mental illness or addiction might keep people from using services. But if

It's hard for me to not think of politicians here and the incentives we are creating. Think back on Kavanaugh: what real evidence was there? No place. No day. No time. No witness to the crime aside from the accuser, some decades later.

That's the same as the argument for the PLCAA, which has been under direct attack for a while and may get changed. Laws can change, and section 230 is not the only possible "sensical" one. The First Amendment is a big rock to

That's just a law. It's not in the Constitution. Depending on how people see Big Tech, the law may or may not be changed. And the kinds of arguments FB, et al., make to defeat this law will affect how people see Big Tech.

"Is not the same not having internet, water, or power, than not having Twitter or Facebook dude." 20 years ago, we could have seen the same argument that internet is not like water or power.

It's the monopoly angle. You can agree or disagree, but it doesn't make sense to form an argument without addressing that.

This may not be effective and may not stand up to a court challenge. But it's the first in a salvo. Watch to see the kinds of arguments big tech is forced to make when they fight this law. Those arguments will be used against them late

I'm a fan of paying for stuff. I understand that some people can't, and they need to be accommodated. But I think things are better when people who can pay, pay. Subsidies can be fine, but free is often a bad idea. When you pay mo

I'm not convinced that it's a bigger problem now. In many ways, the ancient world was much stickier. A king could have a bad idea, and it could persist through generations before it falls to better ideas.

I said "in hindsight", meaning that we don't fault the decisions at the time. I think now is when we begin (without blame) to start evaluating what worked and what didn't. Unfortunately, some of the things done were disr

Even if true, that doesn't suggest that the overall numbers are artificially low. That represents a reporting time gap, the deaths were still presumably counted correctly. I think we need something much stronger before we enter into ev

The post I responded to said "imagine if nobody did anything". I gave Florida as an example. Saying that California also flouted restrictions does not really refute that.

Why? Sincere question. Is there science to back it up or is it just fear of making a wrong decision?

There was both a policy difference as well as a behavior difference when it came to schools. Also, case numbers are a bad thing to measure. Death numbers are more reliable. EDIT: also, it appears state policy exacerbated the nursing home pr

The closing of schools in California (vs open in Florida since last fall) was a very distinct difference in both policy and actual behavior. It seems not to have had a dramatic effect on outcomes. At least in hindsight, the closing of schoo

Schools in Florida have been open since last fall. That's a pretty huge difference, with little difference in pandemic deaths.

Do you have a reliable source that the covid deaths in FL were manipulated downward?

Florida didn't lock down (EDIT: except a few weeks at the beginning), and their death numbers are middle-of-the-pack[1], just marginally worse than California, which did heavy lockdowns. We should probably assume that, in addition to n

I'm not quite sure what your point is. The absolute number is the number, and zooming in to make it a relative number for dramatic effect doesn't change that. It's kind of like zooming in to a stock market graph so the spikes
