Those sorts of appeals to emotions only work on your fellow travellers. I can see the difference between who say they care for others vs. those who ac...

Why not just eliminate money altogether and toss everyone in the Gulag who disagrees? No. We’ve seen the lengths despots have gone to realize their te...

I have picked up on it. My argument is that I am suspicious of step 3 for the reasons I’ve already stated. As for comparing it to the Spanish flu, I h...

It’s not wrong. South Korea didn’t need to put their economy on hold and to enact draconian measures. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/coronavi...

You do care, obviously, and I will abide by your authority.

I’ll delete the information, but only because I pity censors.

I’m writing about the containment measures for epidemics.
March 24, 2020 at 19:10
South Korea didn’t need to put their economy on hold and to enact draconian measures. Both are contagious viruses that cause respiratory illness.

It's a dangerous lie that it is only corporations panicking about "bottom lines". Many of us are without work, and if this continues much longer, will...

Barbarism? The impotent notion that questioning the authoritarian responses of governments is tantamount to wanting people dead is utter nonsense.
March 24, 2020 at 16:06
There’s my answer.
March 24, 2020 at 15:57
Do you?
March 24, 2020 at 15:57
I apologize for impugning your motives.
March 24, 2020 at 15:56
I don’t have an answer.

Children are largely unlikely to be affected by the disease itself but we are going to hand them an economy that we’ve ruined. No amount of technocrat...

The idea that the reaction will be worse than the disease is becoming more and more likely.

I can’t imagine the reasoning that went into eating/drinking fishbowl cleaner. Yeah, I’ve heard that too about tonic water. Time to head out and buy a...

Specifically this tweet, and this article. https://twitter.com/axios/status/1242425467438858241?s=21

I doubt that.

Shawn didn’t buy fishbowl cleaner.

Do you think they put Trump in there for any other reason? They posted that for the same reason you posted it, and that almost certainly wasn’t to inf...

It was sensationalist and false, with the intent to mislead in order to damage a person. Didn’t you post a similar story?
March 24, 2020 at 15:12
I don’t think you know what real news is.

More fake news to add to the pile. Good on them. https://twitter.com/axios/status/1242425467438858241?s=21

Sorry again, but that guy really has no authority to speak on such matters.

Sorry, which article? I was interested in Frank’s opinion.

It’s more a race to the top. Ever since China entered the WTO their manufacturing costs have been rising along with their wages and standard of living...

I do not object to anything you've written.

All good questions. But I do not think we can blame the employer here unless he himself infects others with the virus. Rather, wouldn't it be unethica...
March 21, 2020 at 16:48
I do think the employer needs to consider the ramifications. He'll need to weigh the risks of operating in a confined space during a pandemic with the...
March 21, 2020 at 16:44
I don't think we can say the employer makes people come to work, as if pointing a gun at their head. They certainly risk losing their employment if th...
