You are cutting important parts of the statement, the individual was not in the office after showing symptoms and current research shows that it is very unlikely to transmit the virus before showing symptoms.

US is not really saying enough. I live with my gf in NYC and we had no need for a car. If I got one for free I would have tried to sell it as soon as possible. Now we live in bay area suburbs with a dog, and one car is absolutely needed if

Even if you are right, who knows when it will happen? Chances are you cannot time the market, and it can be irrational for far longer than you think.

I noticed this more and more, people are starting to become unable to understand that others have a different subjective experience of the world that is just as valid.

There is one more difference, at the end you are left with a house you can live in. That is good and bad I guess, but it is a tangible asset that if all goes bad can still be used as your home.

I'm almost 10 years older and still doing well as a non-manager. Have colleagues 10-20 years older than me too in the same boat. Don't worry too much about it and do what you enjoy. You will probably have to deal with people a bit

If you are in first class you can do whatever you want and the airline will politely thank you. At least this is my experience when flying business or first class. In general, the airline lets you board at your time or later

If you are the airline it seems to work out since you are actually turning this into a money making opportunity? The real issue is if the slow boarding is costing the airline more than the money than they earn from charging from upgrades. A

That's your opinion, but most users want a phone that comes with reasonable apps that makes it easy for them to do what they want. I hope you see this is not black and white, there is a grey area here where apps are bloatware for some

It's a bit sad when one of the best reasons to buy a product is that the previous version sucks after 1.5 years. We are not making great incentives for manufacturers to make lasting products. That said it is a new product category, hop

In this system people would not have a lot of incentive to keep improving the land. Still I can see some value in it, but there needs to be a away to feel that ownership and having value in taking care of the land.

If we want to free people from tyrannical employers, isn’t free healthcare step one? Perhaps some sort of more available food stamps step two? I would agree with a lot of the criticism of government should not target too closely etc, but th

This is true, but you can be asked to pay gigantic fines. IRS wanted me to pay more than 50k in fine (luckily they were wrong and accepted that right away). So maybe jail is hyperbole, but it can get pretty serious.

Flat taxes would not help at all, because the government still needs to know all your data. After that it is just computations which computers are pretty good at.

Maybe research why Denver's program is not working is the solution? This SC decision seems pretty clear in saying that if shelters are provided but not used, that can be illegal. It is only not possible to say people cannot sleep outsi
