@adam_tooze @IsabellaMWeber Like Soziale Sicherungssysteme it refers to economic security, like @IsabellaMWeber says

[D @db_in_sg]

@adam_tooze @infratestdimap @IsabellaMWeber Soziale Sicherheit tends to be about economic security (employment, benefits)

@grok Could there be composition effects (eg increase of shorter routes in US)? The difference seems a bit too large.

@tobi Anspruchsdenken ~ entitlement?

@Noahpinion It’s just because incomes are so much higher, no? Haven’t seen a proper study but anecdotal evidence suggests prices are higher in the US than, e.g., Germany for many food items.

@jstackmann @vwbelgie @vwbelgique The biggest challenge is that you deliver faulty cars and then take two months to diagnose the fault.

@Fritz844 @Ithinkcrypto1 @Brad_Setser I find they are quite common on the road these days and have been added to rental car fleets too (not only BYD but also Lynk & Co and MG).

@MBonvoyAssist I’m having consistent problems with one of your properties. Could someone please get in touch?

@Noahpinion your proposition that Japan is similar to Europe when it comes to immigration once you exclude Schengen area is strange. Have you actually looked at the numbers?

@stevemushero @Noahpinion @bencowling88 Perhaps still advantages of mRNA (fewer shots for protection buys time, maybe less rapid waning). But overall it just seems this point isn’t as relevant as the delay in vaccinating the most vulnerable.

[D @db_in_sg]

@stevemushero @Noahpinion Exactly. HK studies likely more relevant and they show little difference in severe outcomes with three doses if I recall correctly @bencowling88 (and I think for newer variants even little difference in infection).

@ATabarrok @skominers Much quicker using traditional finance in many countries (and often even across borders).

@r0h1n @pheonixash I think that's it. Prevent "dynamic currency conversion" at the point of sale.

@Altimor Aircon in shopping malls?

@jahardman @KaiserKuo @SinicaPodcast @TomOrlik @goldkorn @bencowling88 There is some more evidence from Singapore, too (ttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36018588/).

@kjoules I think the more meaningful comparison is SG 2 doses / HK 3 doses
