You didn't make an argument. You just made an unsupported claim. You did not compare fraud rates, you did not measure costs or benefits, you did not account for the urgency of the …

You made no argument for it.

Estonia has a population the size of Maine.

I think it was the bull market combined with specifically a "hiring bubble" caused by aggressive, competitive hiring and acquisition practices as a risk-mitigation strategy to prev…

A failed business is more disruptive to the economy. There were programs aimed at individuals, though, such as ERAP for rent payment relief.

Exactly. It was a best effort move to reduce fraud and exploitation while still providing the desired benefits. You had to wager that the loan would be forgiven and you had to be a…

> The whole PPP process was a sham [...] it was designed up front to be a giveaway to business owners. Yes. The goal was to put money into the economy to help absorb the shock caus…

This post is being downvoted to protect the echo chamber. No dissent is allowed, even on an obviously subjective matter such as interpretation of a public figure's behavior.

His type of behavior and language brings out hate and revulsion in even the kindest people. From what I see, the hate and revulsion is brought out primarily by confirmation bias du…

I suspect the confusion here is that too much market-centered thinking, while essential for doing good business, can lead you to lose sight of "use value" in the big picture. If Go…

That's untrue and not really relevant to the point anyway. Spending changes are small relative to the total spending, and have been increasing, for the most part. NIH budget for ex…

To be fair, the narrow question would have been far more compelling 10-15 years ago, when these companies were both less-huge and had largely unvarnished reputations as being the b…

Honestly what should we learn from people who are opposed to scientific reality? The idea of using CO2 emissions control as a form of social control doesn't sound crazy at all to m…

You're just proving my point. You clearly have not had a real discussion with anyone who disagrees with your presumptions about the relative importance of emissions control. Your o…

Why not ask them about it? You might learn something.

Does that stuff help? Yes, if practiced as intended, which there is no guarantee. Did Italy do that? Perhaps not as quickly as they should have. The rest of the world is learning f…

It's progress by any reasonable use of language. Your definition of progress is worthless.

bunch of papers is not actual progress That all depends on the content of the papers. Protein folding is immensely complex. An actual progress probably would be something like : ef…

You are correct, though though actually more complex than this. 1. Death from complications takes some time. You won't really know the real numbers until enough time has passed for…

Edit: If you're saying that the "reported" death rate "appears" lower based on reported statistics, then yes testing more people can make it seem like the actual death rate is lowe…
