I just want to be honest for a moment with someone: I don’t think democracy works anymore. The model is predicated on representatives speaking for the people and regulating a few large entities. It is simply not setup to handle when everyon

I think the problem is that 1) we don't know the long-term effects 2) There is no FDA approval (although there is now!) and 3) There is no recompense for people hurt by the vaccine - even if that number is 0. 2 & 3 are easily fixab

She has changed her mind. But she will not get the vaccine after this because she will have natural immunity (her view).

I want to reply to this because I want you to know that I hear your views and I understand them. She is very healthy, 40 years old, good Vitamin D levels (she checked them often). She took HCQ for a while, but then stopped. I also would hug

“Turning vaccines into a political wedge issue is one of the stupidest things I've seen in my life.” It’s truly maddening. My wife (very on the right) refused to get it and instead talked endlessly about hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin,

I’ve often heard the argument that we need to change all GitHub repos from master to main because master has etymological origins in the concept of slavery, and is therefore a racist term. But I’ve always heard this argument made by white p

I also have this concern. I haven’t seen it addressed anywhere and I am but a mere layperson.

Because the US Government is a bastion of truth, honesty and accountability. Pay no attention to the past 300 years. Im legitimately horrified that anyone thinks this is even a remotely good idea.

Do you really want the government deciding what disinformation is and having the authority to silence it? Remember, Trump was president less than a year ago.

That doesn't seem objectively true. It seems like the only working alternative to what we did was far stricter lockdowns (See AU). But even those places are still dealing with the pandemic. In fact, it looks to me like we have two choi

I don’t think context matters when it comes to that word. See these examples… https://time.com/5706848/black-security-guard-wisconsin-n-wo... https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/7/17&#x2F

I don’t think people understand the cruelty of factory farming especially when it comes to pigs. If they saw it first hand, they would almost certainly support this legislation full stop. I love bacon but what we do to these animals is sick

It’s unfortunate that “woke” has become a talking point because it’s a serious and actual problem. It’s eroding our ability to live together and it’s doing so at an alarming pace. I hate that everything has to be hijacked for politics in th

I don’t know that quoting cartoons signals “I got a big brain”. It’s fascinating though that people are commenting on the quote. I didn’t think that would resonate.

"So continues the endless, exhausting and unwinnable battle between wages and inflation" That's how it seems to me as well. This article also mentions it towards the bottom in reference to restaurants in New Orleans... https

It was somewhat tongue in cheek - but only somewhat. But points for getting the reference.

I don’t understand the downvotes on HN. This is a novel idea, even if I think it’s…not for me. Thank you for adding something interesting to the conversation.

To be clear, I don't know that anyone thinks that we need people to work in jobs where they are paid so little that they can't make a living. I think those jobs work very well for students and folks who need part time income. What

I feel like we should find these kids and get them out of school where their time is being wasted. Let's get them into some proper practical training that lines up with their interests or hell, just hire them and teach them on the job.

What if it becomes widespread? And every restaurant raises wages to attract workers while also raising prices? In other words, we need some people to be paid very little to produce the cheap food for these hire paid food service workers. Wh

I don’t understand the “pay people more” sentiment. It _seems_ like the correct and obvious solution, but it seems like it just moves the goal line. Margins are razor thin in restaurants specifically. If you pay people more, you’ll need to

In the beginning, but now both sides see them as the enemy of the people. One side thinks they censor too much and the other thinks not enough. So YouTube is now caught in a political game of trying to appease whichever party is in power le

It’s not rich nations that are the problem. They have and continue to drastically reduce their CO2 output (China not withstanding). The problem is poorer countries that are just now coming online with electricity. Coal is the cheapest way t

I think that justice should be blind. Just because you’re rich doesn’t mean you aren’t entitled to the same protections. We’ve gotten to a point in culture where some people “deserve it” so it’s ok if bad things happen to them. That feels l
