I live in a great town that's about an hour commute from the big city where I work. I would never make as much money as I do now (or find as engaging work) if I looked outside the city. I also have no interest in moving. Granted I don&

How many of us don't want to commute to the office 5 days a week, but also don't necessarily like the idea of working from home when not at the office? My personal ideal is a dedicated office space in a location very close to my h

This has been my thinking for a few weeks now. Aside from bringing us significantly closer to herd immunity, it would increase the pool of eligible plasma donors for plasma antibody therapy. And those are just the public health benefits. Sa

The salaries for NYC and San Francisco seem way too low. Only using base salaries significantly deflates compensation.

It would be easy to issue certificates to people who have been vaccinated. Businesses already have guidelines for who can enter their premises, like wearing shirts in restaurants in spite of not wearing a shirt being legal.

Yeah it seems like there is a straightforward free market solution: you don't get a vaccine, businesses may not allow you on their property or in their stores.

It certainly sounds like you have a pre-existing grudge, so I suppose this supports what I'm saying. Why didn't the EU pour more resources into treatments and vaccines? I think I'm going to blame them. See how that works?

I suppose if you already have a grudge against the US you can pick and choose which facts you focus on to try to piece together a narrative that blames the US for this... But of course that narrative is extremely flimsy. Assigning blame to

Well it's certainly part of the reason. More philosophically, when one's voting agency is shared with another person, as is the case in ballot harvesting, the opportunity for abuse multiplies. This is why most states have outlawed

What a rhetorically weak and unintelligent opening, which shortsightedly ignores that Presidents who won the popular vote in the past have started wars and engaged in infidelity before. The idea that somehow policies and behaviors that the

It is often the case that soft social pressure is the best way to enforce desirable behaviors amongst people. Within friend groups where there are no formally established laws or codes of conduct, there are certain implicit standards of beh

And all that because of a virus that has a fatality rate about between .2 and .5% which mainly targets people who are already on the verge of death to begin with. We need to begin opening our country back up and implementing more targeted l

Nowhere did he mention bleach, this is an example of stretching being done to make it sound like he said something worse than he actually did. I believe most people see the media's making a story out of this for what it is, just anothe

No one was saying to inject bleach. And Trump was probably just crudely restating some experimental treatment he had heard about in one of his many briefings. Speculative disinfectant treatments have been mentioned. It's a very minor i

Many studies across the world are showing infection rates for Covid-19 are far higher than official numbers indicate. These studies appear to support the spirit of their statements.

A natural byproduct of a functioning society has always been otherwise avoidable deaths: car accidents, workplace accidents, flu deaths, etc. The idea that we can hide out until the virus completely disappears is a fantasy. The only sustain

But that misses the point. The very fact that a few people at Google/Youtube have the power to censor whomever they want for whatever reason they choose is a problem in itself. Are the doctors in the video saying untruths or misreprese
