“ We're still very unclear on the long-term effects of COVID, after all.” Nor do we know the long term effects of the vaccines. What we do know is that children have “statistical immunity” to dying from covid right now. Long term cons

It’s the preexisting injury part that jacked up the prices. They aren’t allowed to deny enrollment or charge significantly higher premiums if some was has cancer or something. And that totally makes sense morally, but that causes the risk

Forget diesel trucks and piss, ya’ll are overlooking that urea is a major component of fertilizer. Higher urea prices->higher fertilizer prices->Less fertilizer demand->less food supply->more suffering via sick and hungry people

Good article, bad title. It’s not the price of discipline, it’s the price of enforcing discipline on others. Discipline can only be learned through personal experience, it cannot be indoctrinated as that leads to resentment. This makes sens

I like this idea. I wish insurance company management and software engineers would handle some insurance claims. The processes they create without experience are poop.

The last nail in the coffin for the argument of vaccinating young children. They have “statistical immunity” from covid itself and as this article shows, the notion that the vaccines significantly prevent transmission is fanciful at this p

I don’t disagree with any of this as it is pretty much Finance 101. But what I feel like this sort of analysis tends to lack, is that the markets have always been decoupled from “reality”. The only difference is that, historically, there

Ya’ll are overlooking the reasoning behind this for Tesla: this would make a bank more willing to give out a loan to nearly anyone, even with questionable credit, if the car assisted with its own repo. It’s a play to get more Teslas on th

They don’t need to be the underwriter to affect the underwriting process. By enabling this feature, banks could be more willing to make loans to credit challenged people, thus rendering more Tesla’s on the road.

This sounds just like human behavior of retribution in the mob and street gangs. Or even Twitter. Fascinating.

Exactly. It’s analogous to why California and New York are now worried about not having enough energy after closing multiple nuclear power plants.

Then why are we forcing nurses that have already had covid to be vaccinated or face termination??? That makes zero sense during a f*cling unsolved pandemic.

No, it does not just apply to the vaccinated because South Africa is largely unvaccinated but yet are not experiencing any increase in hospitalizations or mortality, they are actually seeing a decline. https://www.washingtonpost.

Why would we downvote rationality friend? We are living in madness. New data out of South Africa showed that the risk of hospitalization from Omnicron was 29% less than the original strain which was already pretty unlikely for young, healt

The brainwashing must be strong for students thousands of miles away from China in the middle of nowhere Indiana for them to feel the need to snitch on dissenters. Or, more likely, they were threatened before they left China that they woul

“ The study by Discovery Health, South Africa’s largest health insurer, of 211,000 positive coronavirus cases, of which 78,000 were attributed to omicron, showed that risk of hospital admissions among adults who contracted covid-19 was 29 p

“Protect themselves from the US military”. They wouldn’t need protection but for reneging on Hong Kong, threats to Taiwan, taking over Tibet, or their Ughyur re-education camps?

It is absolutely a threat if it can be weaponized. It’s also a threat to give an authoritarian country that has every ambition to become the global superpower, our scientific discoveries. Let’s be real, what info is China sharing with us?

Look, I get it, this is Finance 101. But even as I was learning this 2 decades ago, it never sat well with me. This process of valuation of a company works well under “normal” conditions. But at the end of the day, the asset price is real

They are absolutely about rebelling against a tyrannical government. The founders were obsessed with safeguarding democracy against tyranny. That’s why there is the whole bit about the right to form a militia. The self defense aspect is j

Makes sense when you are young for sure. Especially young and single and looking for a partner. That sort of stuff loses its tends to lose its luster when you are 40 married and have kids.

That doesn’t even make sense…density is allowed in a lot of rural places, there just isn’t demand for more. People that live in high density areas, want to live there because it’s a city. They aren’t going to want to put up with both living
