It's both :) Saudis and Russians have decided to increase their output of oil at the exact same time that most companies and businesses are choosing to reduce their oil consumption. Additionally, there are not a lot of cheap ways to st

Then why will it only take 3 months and 2 companies to make 40,000 when a normal hospital has 5. How can people possibly defend any system that is going to let, in their words, hundreds of thousands of people die, when x% of them could have

Indirect layoffs are coming. For example, if you are working for a technology company that is servicing Halliburton, who just laid off 5,000 workers, then there's a chance that Halliburton might decide to cancel that fancy new React pr

I believe the reason the price for this type of crude is so low is because it is a very low quality product, which means the refinery has to spend a lot of money refining it in exchange for not very much yield. At the same time, the oil wel

For all those interested in how Singapore can possibly be a duality of "sometimes good sometimes bad", just look at how Singapore treats its Malay population as second class citizens. For example, if a Singaporean Malay marries a

Hundreds of thousands die from flu every year in a relatively compressed period. Only people who need to be in hospitals are those who need intubation. Everyone will get sick no matter what you try to do. So the government needs to spin up

Not me because our team has to show to our manager that we're willing to "go the extra mile" for our manager's ego :) Luckily the death rate is very low for my age bracket (1 in 1000) so I've been rewarded with much

The death rate for everyone under 50 is 0.1%, or 1 in 1000. The death rate for those over 80 is 12% or higher. Now, if everyone shuts down their life and somehow society can survive for 3 weeks with nobody allowed to move anywhere, maybe th

To be thoroughly honest, I said the same thing about Tesla 10 years ago and the technology did in fact get wayyy cheaper. New economic realities are upon us. But like you said, safety is harder when you are airborne. Can't imagine what
