I would like to see this quantified. From what I can tell, most of the people who "can't be vaccinated" probably can be vaccinated. It's just that clinical trials haven't yet been conducted on them. Children for example. Children seem to be at very low risk from serious illness from covid so I don'...

Are vacations really that shit in the U.S, like where you'd be lucky to string together two weeks of unpaid leave? I forgot to address this. People taking unpaid leave can usually take two weeks if they just ask for it. But they can't afford it. People with paid leave can probably take two weeks if...

More questions ... The thing with ambulances. Is it true that folks will try to avoid taking ambulances to avoid the crippling (no pun intended) costs? Is this something that only affects poor or unemployed people, or is this like a general thing that might even affect the middle class? Like if you...

Oh, so many. Like ads. Your TV is full of ads all the time. Like even sports have ads all the time (compared to football/soccer or most European sports where you get at least a half hour of action at a time). Do you all mind or notice? Do you turn down the ads? Do you watch the ads like as if they ...

That’s really the only time I worry about having small bills. You said you have a lot of questions but only asked three. What el...

No doubt, I feel at least a version of what you feel, although my "number" is a bit lower. I can't help but to believe it's a perversion of what my natural desires and ambitions would be given something like a post-scarcity society. Also- is it beneficial to society that everyone be made to feel th...

Bezos and Musk are only billionaires on paper. Most of their wealth is tied up in their companies, and if they were to try to liquidate it, it would plummet. So it's kind of not even real money. Who knows what their actual liquid net worth is. I don't even know if there are billionaires whose wealth...

What were you looking for? Sweden's fatality rate is about 10 times its neighbouring Scandi countries (Finland has 846 with a population half of Sweden which has over 13,000 deaths). The decline in economic activity is no worse in Finland. Did you just want to directly compare country statistics? S...

There's an interesting article in the New Yorker on Sweden. https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/swedens-pandemic-experiment?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=tny&utm_mailing=TNY_Daily_040621&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&bxid=5f8291c86e831e0a1424a24a&cndid=62419996&hasha=a4b23674ebb100b8e816c7122...
