@I_Katchanovski A face to face meeting should only occur at a neutral location, and if the behind the scenes work to ensure some prospect of success had already been accomplished.

@BaronSlump @Devon_Eriksen_ I agree. Women are more passive aggressive and tend to communicate indirectly. But men really should talk with each other more, and not depend on women for their social life. That always ends in disaster.

@Abomination81 It becomes psychologically impossible for women who have had lots of partners to form attachments to any male and form stable relationships. Their mentality becomes stabilized at the level of a teenager.

@JaneScandurra @MidwesternDoc The "average" fatality rate is misleading. Deaths were almost exclusively concentrated in the >80 age group, with dementia, diabetes, high blood pressure, immune compromised. For the omicron variant, essentially zero in the younger age cohorts.

@TheRealist2077 @KobeissiLetter More important is the fraction of US revenue used to pay debt interest. This is now worse than the 80's, and will grow rapidly as old debt at very low interest is rolled over into new debt at higher interest.

@RandPaul First comes the elimination of a propertied middle class. Then comes the socialism of a lower class surviving on state subsidy.

@CharlieRedCock @ArmstrongEcon @realDonaldTrump @KremlinRussia_E In order for this to work, the US would want the profits of Russian resources be used to buy US treasuries. But the US stole 300 million of US treasuries from Russia at the start of the war. So this is unlikely, unless the US can effectively make Russia a vassal state.

@jonkay @TheBARPod All politics, but especially on the left, is about identity rather than class. The focus of left wing politics should be what to do about the K shaped asset distribution.

@MattWalshBlog I think the fact that she tried to commit suicide implies some degree of remorse. The sedatives I am sure she is on may make it difficult for her to come to terms with what she did.

@DefenceHQ @NATO NATO is hardly defensive if it is supplying target information and running the software to launch storm shadow missiles deep into Russia.

[SAPPINGTON PERRET @FolkinsIan]

@SerhiiSeniuk7 @MarioNawfal If you join an alliance that Russia sees as aggressive, would allow cruise missiles within 200 km of Moscow, allow 13 CIA bases in your territory to spy on Russia, you no longer have the right to be seen as a neutral country.

@jonkay If the infection mortality rate of a disease decreases by ~1000-10,000 from age 20 to age 80, and the side effects of the vaccine are roughly flat with age, maybe we should be presented with an age dependent cost benefit analysis of the vaccine?

[SAPPINGTON PERRET @FolkinsIan]

@theCGspot @thevivafrei My understanding that the Canadian government had granted legal immunity to the vaccine makers, on the basis that it was an "emergency".

[SAPPINGTON PERRET @FolkinsIan]

@thevivafrei There was no rational basis for the covid vaccine in kids, based on an age dependent cost benefit analysis. The infection mortality rate from covid for kids was essentially statistically indistinguishable from zero (outside pre-existing complications).

@mtmalinen At this point, most investors are openly acknowledging the existence of an AI bubble. Politicians have an amazing ability to push a project at the point of maximum hype, just in time to create a white elephant. They get the PR benefit. The taxpayer is screwed.

@JayTC53 The kids suffered. She was full of hatred, resentment, and devoid of compassion.

[SAPPINGTON PERRET @FolkinsIan]

@ChristinaPushaw @Cernovich It is the murderous resentment of Cain versus Abel.

@PhilipfvBell @triggerpod @KonstantinKisin @nathancofnas My understanding is that there is much more genetic variation within Africa than the rest of the world. The ancestors of people outside Africa all passed through a genetic bottleneck when they left, reducing subsequent variance.

@GadSaad @prageru @marissastreit There was a corrective mechanism in that the "brand" of a university depended on how well it prepared students for the job market. This does not work if employers are also woke, or if the brand is high enough that the students it recruits are very good anyway (e.g. Ivy league).
