$1000 a month for every American for the next three months. A trillion dollars we can borrow at negative rates. Creating some basic income will also help with public health compliance.

Robert Redfield, CDC Director, said there are no plans to set up drive through #COVID19 test centres because "We're tryinjg to maintain the relationship between individuals and their healthcare providers."

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

The policy response this suggests is that we need to make it less costly to be careful.
- Ridiculous fees for tests are a huge problem.
- Paid sick leave is a must.
- But even that may not be enough: If people won't invest enough in social isolation, the govt needs to step in.

if you're not happy single, you won't be happy in a relationship.

true happiness comes from closing 100 chrome tabs after solving an obscure programming bug, not from someone else

All these dunks getting perfect 50s is emblematic of the problem with ratings systems (e.g. Yelp, Amazon etc.) where people max out the top end of the scale and it becomes hard to differentiate the merely very good from the truly great.

"Go back to your country" <-- evil, xenophobic

"Go back to your state" <-- virtuous, progressive, reasonable

8/And they tend to underestimate the % of the skilled workforce that is made up by immigrants.

In other words, people are stereotyping immigrants as poor laborers and ignoring immigrant doctors, engineers, etc.

If 1024 fair coins are each tossed 10 times, chances are good (> 63%) that at least one will come up heads 10 times in a row; and that coin will be proud to explain how its skill, faith, guts & determination made its achievement possible, and how that combo can work for you too.

To put this differently: what makes it likelier that Democrats win the Senate race in Arizona and keep the seat in Alabama? A nominee who bends over backwards to signal his respect for wavering Republicans? Or one who antagonizes them?

@RiotAugust Once the game has a full release (be that in 3 months, or a year from now) I don't think the game shouldn't change that much. Ideally once every 3 months (with maybe smaller patches every month). Biggest reason I stopped playing league was how quickly the game changed.

narrative 2: people partake in these activities only if they can somewhat afford them. During good economic times, people have more disposable income that they spend. Stock brokers in the 80's did a ton of coke because they could afford it, not because their lives were stressful.

@Noahpinion
do people gamble/drink/smoke more during bad economic times or good ones?

narrative 1: people do these activities to relieve stress. It's entertainment, so they spend more of their (more limited income) on stuff like this when they're stressed about their life.
