It will be interesting to see if it plays out as planned. I like the solution because it is actually addressing the supply problem. I also like it because there is not a mandate to build low income housing, it merely makes it more feasible.

Probably a factor in a multi-factor answer. Think of it this way, not only was lead gasoline banned, but over the last 30 years we have moved manufacturing jobs to Asia (which has not seen the decline in dementia that the west has). Manufac

Vast majority of people recover just fine and what ever neurological structural changes are caused by the virus appear to have very little affect. The article claims that both non-severe and severe patients get the same damage, meaning that

Because the mayor exempted city employees from wearing masks. Because of mass protests. Because lawmakers have access to the best healthcare, wear their masks for the TV cameras, and then do the opposite when no one is watching. Because pol

Nationalism taken too far. Learning regional languages and Sanskrit instead of English? Having a lingua franca is incredibly advantageous in the global economy.

Anything that requires following the rules will fail in the Unites States. Police at polling stations to enforce rules is also considered voter intimidation thanks to Jim Crow jackassery a century and a half ago, so that is also a no go. We

I am glad I am not the only one. Thank you for posting. Sometimes when you tell people it is difficult to not be happy and to get angry, they treat you like a skinny person humble bragging about how they can't gain weight no matter how

I think the difference between a generally content person and what JJCM is describing is this: - A generally content person responds fluidly and naturally to negative events as expected and usually goes back to being happy after the negativ

Criticism of Graham isn’t nearly as convincing as criticism of Mead. Wisdom through observation is time-honored and valuable and does not require supporting data. I am not going to wade into Mead, who certainly sounds like a racist, but may

State mandated income sounds more like Communism 2.0, but this time with tacit acknowledgement and acceptance of an elite class and a serf class.

The article is summarizing a JAMA study done in Germany. JAMA is well respected. Their conclusion was less sensational - essentially they say our findings show 60% of recovered patients had heart inflammation regardless of pre-existing con

The old abundance paradox. When you have everything you appreciate very little. We have had the same problem with the middle class here in the US for half a century, but our national culture had a strong focus on competition, winning, and m

Intel 10nm is broadly comparable to TMSC 7nm, but this is really bad optics for Intel.

This has got to be the most ridiculous question ever. The answer is no. If GW Bush accepted the result as called in Florida and not taken it to the Supreme Court he would not be elected. It is a trap question to box a candidate in. If an el

Liberal western values were invented hundreds of years before modern levels of wealth. Wealth and security has the opposite effect. People take it for granted and that security becomes more important than the western values of liberty, etc.

Everyone collectively wants to, we just can’t decide how. Half the population wants the post-capitalist, ecologically sound, anti-racist path forward. The other half wants to lean hard into capitalism and traditional civil liberties (“freed

It is normal for ICUs to be at or near capacity. This is also misleading journalism. Most ICUs are in “surge” cities right now are 20-30% Covid. Reporting that they are at capacity intimates that they are packed full of Covid patients and o

Steadily increasing is true but misleadingly dire sounding. It is increasing by tiny amounts (and already plateauing in Arizona). That is ok. I have no objection to mask wearing.

All three are true, you are denying science. I am very tired of this anti-science crowd peddling fear. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/0...
