AC makes a lot of money on overprices US Canada flights, so the virus resurgence in the US really hurts.

I can of misread this and thought it meant if you're looking for a new job, delete your Twitter account. Strange times.

Having an aged population certainly helps. Not a lot of 80 year old gangbangers.

"Rookie mistake #1: Creating a blanket policy for one bad apple" made me laugh because the CEO of a 50 person tech company I worked for many years was famous for such policies. It was funny because the company had a high trust wor

Of the restaurants I've heard that aren't reopening in my city, I wasn't that surprised by. I'm wondering how many I haven't heard about just won't reopen.

How would they be paying less overall? They just added new brackets.

As an Ontarian it is frustrating how the marginal tax rate has risen over 50% over the last decade, but ignorant people think things are the same as in the US. Of course capital gains on primary residences is taxed at 0% so it isn't re

I'm curious what will happen where I work. Upper management has always hated working from home and part time work. I think eventually they'll go back to their set ways, but it will be some time in late 2021.

What's the status for TN visas right now? The US/Canadian border is semi-closed now except for things like trucking. If you were just issued one, could you get across?

I wonder how big a percentage of business sex work is for hotels.

I would be curious to see death statistics for people with a college degree across majors.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Mask wearing percentages on public transit is quite different in NYC compared to Tokyo.

There was an early study out of China that said the same thing. I remember when it came out it and governments were worried about ventilators I thought well does the number of ventilators really matter? If it almost inevitable they're

I remember lurking around the oildrum.com back in the day. At least they folded up shop, which I can respect, but there was a lot of good discussions on there.

No mention of differences in obesity rates, which while not politically correct, seems particularly important for covid.

From what I’ve seen there’s a lot of occupations in the UK that are underpaid. Makes me wonder who is getting paid in the UK.

I would feel worse for these people, but there's a lot of small business people who have worked a lot harder and a lot more years than WeWork staff whose formerly viable businesses are going to get nuked by all of this.

I would love to know what percentage of people are infected by touching their faces with their hands. My non-expert guess and I could be totally wrong, is that it is pretty low, but much higher to catch it by being near infected people indo

Probably worth reading Bryan Caplan's The Case Against Education for some insight on why.

So from reading the article, it seems that most hosts don't actually own the apartments, but rent them from landlords and then AirBnb them? That seems more different from North America where most of the hosts own (at least for whole ap

I don't really see Washington being a problem, it's other US states. Plus I see the provinces as being way easier to isolate than US states.

I would say Canada has seemed to avoid so far what is a really large outbreak like in NYC, which is starting to look pretty grim. With more outbreaks starting in other areas like say Detroit (and compare that to south Detroit) I think the U
