The US is down 7% on staffed beds since last year, exactly what makes you think shortages are getting better with time?

No, it doesn't matter when, a parent dying when a kid is 10 is no different than when the kid is 11. Let's not pretend people are avoiding covid for multiple years here, because statistically they aren't.

ETH continues to grow its hashrate every day. Even in the face of growing competition, hashrate grows. It's an interesting theory, but there's no evidence of you being right. We already have many extremely high market-cap PoS coi

no, contracts are immutable, I'm unaware of any base-layer chain attacks that can affect contracts negatively (outside of contract level logic that may be vulnerable itself)

The idea that you could buy a real-world item worth half as much as the amount of ETH/BTC you would mine in an hour or two or 51% is simply unrealistic. ETH mining at 500TH (a solid chunk over 51% just for ease) would net you 300 ETH a

As someone deeply interested and invested in crypto I strongly disagree. Proof of work has it's place in the ecosystem and isn't going anywhere. Plenty of modern chains are utilizing proof of work for various reasons.

Wasn't trying to suggest you should be dissatisfied with everything about the IRS, but it seemed you were implying the IRS shouldn't get "a lot of grief", which in my opinion they should.

Other countries get a bill in the mail for how much taxes are owed. It's entirely reasonable to be disappointed with the IRS.

Can you elaborate how sleeping with many women or enjoying strip clubs is related to "not equating yourself with women"?

Yep, that's one of many reasons these passports are ridiculous - people use the argument that you need that stuff for school and whatnot, but those are all private records. Today people are demanding passports be used in all public pla

Not at all - imagine you have very specific medical reasons you can't take the vaccine. Do you want the world knowing you're unvaccinated in this political climate? Do you want to explain your condition to anyone who might be judg

Elective procedures were mandated to stop by policy - not due to capacity constraints. Believe it or not, but 2020 hospital capacity was lower than projected using projections before anyone knew what covid even was.

Can you show me an area where the covid+ college age population was a healthcare capacity burden? Further, if we're at such risk of overburdening our healthcare system, how come we have fewer heathcare workers today than we did back in

I'm not sure how you can suggest there's any caution here. At least not with regards to the students. They are a low risk category with 100% vaccination rate and their risk of losing out on many of the important aspects of college

I can't wait until public opinion seems to catch on to the fact that we will never eliminate covid. It blows my mind that we see 100% vaccinated universities going back to online-only learning. What exactly are they waiting on?

South Africa is well under average vaccination rate globally. Also what do you mean by they've been exposed to the virus? Of course they've been exposed to the virus, that's exactly why it's interesting to see how their

To me this seems to be readily apparent, but I'm getting downvotes without reply. I'm sincerely curious how what I've said can be disagreed with, do you not all use software that gives you a negative value but maybe gives pos

This is the paradigm of any system, period. If you work correctly for the most part, the minority which you create negative value for can be offset and establish that system as viable. This is true for brick and morter/mom and pop busi

Show me a single node operator or developer that has stated they would consider ever raising the hard cap on bitcoin. Until then you're just making up FUD for the sake of being argumentative.

Bitcoin has a hard cap on how many will ever be in existence. If that's not the definition of real scarcity, then what is? Your implication that bitcoin is easily divided somehows means it isn't finite is simply wrong. Firstly it&

Pre-covid, if you picked a random hospital at a random point in time in the U.S. there was a 16% chance it would be at max capacity and something like a 30% chance it would be over 80% capacity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
