Uh, that accounts for a full half of people that drive.

Oh, and btw, did you notice that you basically can't exist without a car unless you live right in a city? They have no choice but to give everyone a license. Even if you mow multiple pedestrians down while drunk, and kill them, no worries, a judge will give you back your license in no time. Just drive, diddle your phone, and drink and get high! You're good!

Well, it's not clear to me at this point that there's going to be that many future generations.

All the people are probably over at the Andover Sportsmen's Club, shooting guns and absolutely ruining Harold Parker State Forest.

Oh yeah, by no means am I anti vax for humans! I get the flu shot every year and have had all the Covid shots. For poultry populations I was just reflecting on the article, and my comment about herd immunity was based on the article's mention on the potential for herd immunity in wild populations.

Double yikes. Vaccines are problematic. https://www.science.org/content/article/wrestling-bird-flu-europe-considers-once-taboo-vaccines

Edit: this is by no means an anti vax statement!!

Was just doing some reading about Avian Influenza. To tell you the truth, I haven't paid much attention. But it's very disturbing to say the least. From The Guardian article I'm reading, "It may become less damaging when sufficient numbers of birds have been infected, or the virus could evolve again, making it easier to spill into other species – including mammals and humans.". I hope they can at least vaccinate for the domestic birds, since culling the flocks removes any chance for herd immunity, I'm guessing.

Yikes.

To kind of echo what @tenemu said, making something economically viable (i.e. "pay the rent") is not (necessarily) to "fill their own pockets". Broadway shows are already pretty expensive, and I doubt that most of those that are involved are living in mansions as it is.
