Plot twist, he’s a Google plant at OpenAI now.

Two weeks ago, Bloomberg had somebody on the radio talking about 0DTE being popular amongst institutions and hedge funds. Most be a slow day to turn it into an article about retail doing so.

I’m well aware. Being persecuted then prosecuted because of the color of your skin isn’t cool though.

Not sure “cool” is the word I’d go for to describe what he and others had to endure.

This is pretty rich coming from a company founded and ran by a man permanently banned by the SEC for money crimes.

Not even close to the same thing. Brady was one step above a vegetable the rest of his life after being shot. It was a long, slow death and not hard to say the death was ultimately connected to his being shot. Are we really dumbed down to the point people compare being shot and suffering the rest of your life to being pushed in basketball and rolling an ankle?

By 2025 they’ll abandon the all EV course and say hybrid is the way to go. Because it is. If we go all EV, what happens in a deep freeze or hurricane type event when the power is out for several days? We know we are going to get more of these extreme weather events, we gonna really paint ourselves in a corner? Governments are the biggest problem. I wonder how much CO2 is released making movies and shows? Everybody gets on their favorite social media app to bitch about the climate while standing in line for their $8 coffee. Got the CO2 burned in the supply chain as well as the massive amount of diesel burned to build that tiny little building you get your daily fix from. It’s our spending habits we need to take the most drastic changes with. Hybrid vehicles take care of us at the individual level. That’s not where the most drastic changes are needed.

The minimum wage argument is weak. Working 20 hours a week making minimum wage in the US puts you in the top quarter of income on the global scale. Statistics bear out that majority of people in the US are making $10 or more an hour above minimum wage. We also have the most progressive tax code in the world. Our problem isn’t a weak minimum wage, it’s the complete waste and incompetence of government to do anything with it. You know why housing is so unaffordable in the US and western world? Because our elected leaders have sold us out to their banker and lawyer friends. The minimum wage argument is for people who don’t want to admit the policies they’ve supported over the years have been complete failures.

People find it difficult to remain physically active under normal circumstances. Add in a pandemic where we were being made to think we could hide from a virus and door dash our way to being an even more unhealthy society, and I’d disagree with your take. We made it extremely hard on people in dense urban populations to do anything but rot in their own misery and create habits far worse than what the virus would have been on them (statistically speaking).

Edit: typo

Seems like a better post for r/commonsense. Not much scientific discussion to be had about quantifying common knowledge. I guess it does help confirm that broad based lockdowns as public policy are counterintuitive and most likely do more harm to overall public health than good.

This comment is made in a science sub?

To add to it, the endgame is to protect Russian oil and gas flowing through the Ukraine. Their economy depends on it. So no matter what, it’s a war being fought where both sides are fighting for ultimately the same thing. Nothing like the smell of JP8 in the morning.

Here in America, the most environmentally friendly people are currently distracted wanting to settle a territorial dispute via war. US military is what, the world’s number 1 offender of carbon emissions? Fire up the war machine boys, we can always shift the blame elsewhere. I’d say the constituents stand in the way of progress as much as governments do.
