USA Powerlifting loses court battle against transgender athlete, ruled guilty of discrimination. The sport must now allow men to compete against women. https://t.co/7O6s8FlpPX
In the summer of 1959, as in the summer of 1957, I worked as a clerk-typist in the headquarters of the U.S. Public Health Service in Washington. The people I worked for were very nice and I grew to like them. One day, a man had a heart attack at around 5 PM, on the sidewalk outside the Public Health Service. He was taken inside to the nurse's room, where he was asked if he was a government employee. If he were, he would have been eligible to be taken to a medical facility there.
Unfortunately, he was not, so a phone call was made to a local hospital to send an ambulance. By the time this ambulance made its way through miles of Washington rush-hour traffic, the man was dead. He died waiting for a doctor, in a building full of doctors. Nothing so dramatized for me the nature of a bureaucracy and its emphasis on procedures, rather than results.
Moderna has said it will likely charge $130 for its Covid vaccine.
Taxpayers, through the US government, gave $2.5 billion to develop the Moderna vaccine.
It was nearly entirely funded by taxpayers.
And it costs only around $3 to produce.
Unusual.
@Kibbbss Ask you to leave with the minimum state required notice. In my state it’s one month. I don’t blame you for not wanting to live there under those circumstances.
@Kibbbss I am a landlord. Idk what state you’re in and it varies by state. Most of what they proposed in the new lease is legal however if you have verbiage in your current lease stating it renews month to month they can’t evict you although you may have to fight it. They can however…
