Nah, Pfizer is a terrible company. Pharmaceutical companies can rot in hell. But that doesn't change the fact that vaccines save lives. It's not that I am bending over backwards to defend Pharma. It's that people are bending

I don't know about the rest of your methodology and I'm suspicious of the concept of "Oh they forgot to multiply by 13%" cause you just don't multiply percentages (with very few exceptions). But more to the point, t

It is wild to me that people look at a number like 3/1,000,000 and don't think wow, that's 1900 Children who could die from something we have a vaccine for, that actively prevents the cause. Also, can you imagine losing a chi

Did you look at the article? The time frames for the graphs are not the beginnings of covid (EoY 2021). By that time the initial standards of care had improved to the steroid treatments (I can't say specifically which ones, because I

Where are you seeing that 100% claim? Also, something doesn't have to be 100% to be a problem. The point is, a lot of motorists do it, and it's more of a problem when they do.

Yeah, cause GDP will definitely just stop growing once you've extracted the $4T. Taxes disappear into a hole you can never get them out of once they've been spent. The stimulus money has famously halted the economy in its tracks.

It's interesting to me, because it doesn't seem that hard or wrong to tax stagnant dollars. And I suspect it would solve a lot of the inflation woes that might happen with UBI, as well as a lot of the US economic woes. Every time

Uhhhh, Imma suggest you don't know what an ad hominem attack is. Ad Hominem comes from latin "To the person." It is when you attack the person rather than their argument. When you call the author stupid, you're ignoring

I like how you're trying to avoid going against the site guidance by not directly responding to the person with your insults.

What's replacing/killing it? It's definitely not enough to state that it's dead because "people think it's 'cringe'". Or that one site that supports gifs is in question. This whole article is kin

I don't think the recommended dogma for this is necessarily about feeling guilt per se, but I think a lot of people do end up in that, and it's probably not super healthy. The dogma is more about being compassionate for others a

You get to wash your hands of any bitcoin mining you do, because it's everyone else's problem to figure out a green grid. I can load as much shit onto the grid as I want, and that's fine, it doesn't matter what I'm

You're creating a really difficult causal link. Does the US' military create peace and prosperity? I would disagree with your assessment of that for Ukraine.
