I don't think it's a feasible plan, but there's probably some demand for that specific solution--people have friends who play riot games, so they want the ability to play those those specific games without the invasive anti-c

My fiancee is an ER doctor and her hospital is now getting considerably more N95s than they were a few weeks ago. It looks like the supply chain is finally ramping up.

I noticed that all of your supporting evidence is articles talking about allegations made in lawsuits. What were the results of these suits? Were any of the claims substantiated?

I'm not fixating on anything. This entire chain started as a reply to a post you made where you switched to math over CS, and specifically to this statement. >The best programmers I've worked with have mostly not had CS degrees

Very true. But in that case it moves up the chain to the bank to forgive mortgage payments, or for the government to hold off on collecting property tax. The same logic holds for them as it does for the landlords. Better to deal with people

I know several service industry people who are making more on unemployment now thanks to the extra federal money than they were while working. Add to that the fact that they aren't eating out, traveling etc... and their savings are doi

If that's the case, and lack of cash is the only thing holding back demand, then it's a perfect situation for government stimulus. I know several service industry people who are making more on unemployment now thanks to the extra

Yeah I think this is a bit of an artificial recession in that demand hasn't declined for any of the normal reasons, but because people are being forced not to consume. My guess is that means recovery will be quicker because all of the

There was a bipartisan plan to include 30 billion in funding for the Post Office in the 2 trillion dollar stimulus bill. But the administration said they wouldn't sign anything that included emergency funding for the USPS. That doesn&#

Less than 1% is still much higher than the the flu. But the flu kills tens of thousands per year in the US alone, so it's fairly common.

Or maybe pent up demand will have the opposite effect. There's no way to know. I've had the same thoughts about the restaurant industry. Will lockdowns create a generation of home cooks, or will be so tired of staying in that the
