You just cited a source from 2018. Are real wages still flat, right now in 2021, or are they down? Do you think wages hiked 6.2% with inflation over the past few months? BLS says real wages at -1.2% over the last year, and thats probably co

I think you’re giving policy makers too much credit by saying they look at the data, but that’s an aside :). I’m not sure we even have to look at the data ourselves to find my statement true, if we accept the following as facts: 1) Wages ha

Yeah, agreed. I don’t know what the proper measure of a good economy is. I’m just critical that said measurement is “jobs”.

What do you believe the data will say about my statement? Will the data disprove it?

Point taken, but i suppose i don’t see it as incredibly unreasonable. They think the outlook is worse now than when we were basically at rock bottom. March 2009 is about when i threw all my money into stocks and purchased a home. When yo

The issue i take with this is that we’re using measures to define economic well being where we use terms like “most” and then leave behind the other 49% of people, and tell em, “hey, the economy is cookin!” “In the nation as a whole, 70.3 p

I’m not saying that people being on government help is better for the economy than people working at minimum wage. I’m saying that maybe employment rates aren’t as relevant of a measure as they once were, because employment at min wage isn’

Are jobs and employment rates really what we should be using to measure the economic outlook? Some people would be better off unemployed on government help, than employed full time at minimum wage in a city where housing is unaffordable and

The vast majority of bacteria are not harmful so it might be more apt to ask why some bacteria are dangerous to us.

True, with one caveat, state medicaid departments have like no incentive to not cover procedures or medications because they are 90%+ funded through the fed anyway. But most alz patients probably fall under medicare anyway.

by elhudy 5y ago
FDA doesn’t approve based on the projected costs to the system. That’s the underlying problem. There is no political mechanism to say “no, this treatment won’t be covered by medicare.” Further, such a mechanism would be wildly unpopular wit

I think the question you are asking is "why can lactic acid bacteria survive in a saline environment whereas some harmful bacteria types cannot?" I believe the answer is that "bad" bacteria CAN oftentimes survive in envi

Yeah, people do eat themselves to death eating whole foods as well as processed foods. Eating processed foods is clearly linked to higher rates of obesity, but my point is that many people still get fat eating whole foods unregulated until

> You shouldn't need to "control" yourself around food, your should just eat what you crave and stop when you are satisfied, but the increase of processed food and obesity rates show this is currently not the way it works

I disagree. It is an opportunity for alzheimer's patients that cannot be missed; FDA approval is conditional and can be revoked if further studies reveal lacking evidence.

I am not following. If it is labeled as "sushi-grade" then it is being sold to be eaten raw, and the rules apply, yeah?

FDA guidelines dictate that fish sold for raw consumption must be frozen under one of the following conditions to kill parasites: -4°F (-20°C) or below for 7 days (total time) -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid, and storing at -31

Sushi-grade IS a thing with real fish. It means the meat has been inspected for parasites or frozen to kill them.

The glaring issue in this article (which I couldn't bring myself to finish) is that he equates downvoting to "evil or incorrect post(s)". Which would be true in an ideal world, but the reality becomes downvotes are equivalen

This varies on a state-by-state basis. In Chicago, rental protections allow for the rentee to sue for beyond the deposit, as well as their lawyer's wages, in the case of a security deposit being wrongly taken. I know because I won ba

That is not a "risk" in the sense of adverse outcomes. Anyone can throw bitcoins in a wallet and forget about them for 10 years. There is no risk of adverse outcome involved in doing so, and people should not be rewarded it.

>while that is true, you could also argue they deserve it because of the risk they took. they didn't take any risk though, they just "mined bitcoins", which were more abundant then.
