President kaebas oma valitsuse kohtusse; pani endale vastu seisma oma ihuadvokaadi, kes läks temaga kokkuleppele: presidendi liitlastele kaks miljardit ning perele immuunsus uurimiste vastu.
Arenenud lääne demokraatiates on selline korruptsioon ja kleptokraatia pretsedenditu.
Past Andes virus outbreaks show that virions can be aerosolized by speech.
Saying “hello” within 1–2 meters without physical contact was enough for human-to-human spread.
For human-transmissible viruses, speech-range aerosol spread should be seen as the norm, not the exception.

I don't like talking about the cost of universal basic income, not because it's some high number, but because it assumes not doing it is FREE. We spend $1.5 TRILLION a year on the costs of child poverty alone. We cut child poverty by 40% for a cost of $100B in 2021. That would have been a $500B GAIN, but Congress decided that saving that much money cost too much.
It's as dumb as saying that buying $100 for $20 is too expensive.
What are we doing? We are 💯% fine spending any amount of money on wars and tax cuts for the rich, but I'm the one who has to defend spending public money in a way that reduces overall costs?
I shouldn't have to convince anyone that investing $100 to get far more than $100 in return is a good deal.
There are so many ways of going about UBI, and thus so many different price tags. It's not a simple answer. But what is simple is understanding that poverty, mass chronic insecurity, and extreme inequality all impose huge costs on our society.
The cost of UBI is lower than the cost of not doing it.

@lizzzmiu My six sents. In case regu consuming any of the following- try avoiding sugary&fatty snacks, french fries, pork (https://t.co/UzrxwLGcQW) and alcohol for a week or two. I know a number of people who got their face HP back when they did this.
Don't know about Dubai, but I can tell you about Saudi Arabia.
I have spoken to multiple Vietnamese people who went to work as domestic workers in Saudi Arabia under the Vietnamese state-run labour export programme. One woman for example was exploited—every time she wanted to leave & go home, the recruiter sent her to a new employer, & every time she contacted the embassy or the Ministry of Labour for help, she was ignored. In 2 years, she was cycled through 6 different employers; she was exploited, beaten up, starved, even raped. Now in Vietnam, she is still not recognised as a victim of human trafficking; her complaints are all ignored.
Another woman was beaten up so badly she lost sight in one eye, & she was stuck for ages in Saudi Arabia before she could return home.
Westerners have no idea what modern slavery is.
