@DFisman Pairing a not-so-secret* popularity of Social Darwinism with a political strategy to ignore the externality of long term complications due to Covid.
*Social Darwinism is built right into our political and economic system.
@_Darragh_ @Grady_Booch@IBM What's latest death count from virus in U.S.?
700,000...800,000?
Should people who caught/catch the virus at work be able to hold employers liable when a vaccine, that reduces effects and deaths from virus, exists?
@DFisman Yea, the airplane itself might have a safe ventilation.
Got to get to the airport, and through the airport first.
To say nothing about behaviour of everyone else willing to go through the same choke points for some fun holidays, I mean business it's all business...honest.

@GeorgeMonbiot Capitalism: Feudalism renamed; same hierarchy, new people; land holdings replaced by ownership of property, equipment, ideas, and things.
@FourWinns298 @OPP@OPP_WR If I, a private citizen, were to incite and promote violence against politicians, there would be multiple police forces at my door.
Some members of society are above the law.
@JimmyShootz How else are they supposed to keep undeserving, inferior, lower classes from entering careers that may influence public opinion?
Got to maintain the status quo, and public consent for it.
@David_Moscrop Burner accounts are over-rated.
A humble brag that you can't keep multiple burner accounts straight?:
"I wish I had ~a~ Twitter burner account."
@DFisman@AndreaHorwath @Laudieda2 Why would the new CMOH being the same as the old CMOH surprise you?
They both work(ed) for the same politician.
Do you believe that there are medical professionals that won't sacrifice ethics for personal gain?
@DFisman @FourWinns298 If you can stop damaging yourself for a few minutes,
@edyong209 has a new piece out. Good one too. Hopefully you haven't damaged too many brain cells, and can still read.

@Grady_Booch Everyone does not have equal access to power, or control of themselves, in Web 3.
"people with most tokens are more powerful than others."
An even more elitist system that avoids democratic forms.
@imgrund What is the real reason false positives are even portrayed as a problem?
"Better safe than sorry, stay home, retest later."
False negatives are the only problem:
You're clear. Person goes to work or school and proceeds to infect others.
Money interests worried parents miss work.
@edyong209 Excellent work.
You are always a good read.π
Love this idea about the normal or status quo.
