Well, I'm not wearing ties because of skinnying. It feels like a lynch around my neck. I currently have a lanyard keycard to access work that's on a strap around my neck for work and I take it off all the time for the same reasons... and then promptly lose it

You should give a shit about economics, because you are arguing economics. It's just even worse that you mistakenly think it's science.
I love the weasel word you slip in there, that medical interventions are "basically" cost-benefit analyses, to try to conceal the fact that they are fundamentally different from cost-benefit analyses.
A remarkable statement from the man who supported dosing everyone up with HCQ, then ivermectin, without thinking those required proof.
Wow. There's so much wrong here.
1) Sweden has ~25,000 covid deaths to date and Australia ~22,000, so you're just wrong that Sweden has done better than Australia. And this is just absolute numbers.
2) Australia has over twice the population of Sweden, which means that per capita Australia has a death rate well under half Sweden's, which means Aus did a lot better.
3) To mid-2021 and vaccination, Sweden had ~14,000 covid deaths and Australia <1000. Per capita, therefore, Australia had a covid death rate around one thirtieth of Sweden's, which is kind of awesome for Australia. Australia's covid death rate has since expanded because, like the rest of the world, it moved to vaccines rather than preventing infection and that's naturally going to result in deaths racking up over time.
The fact you get such simple things wrong so often is indicative.
Congratulations on repeating, yet again, context-free vapidity.
Not more death than where? What factors are you controlling for to make a comparison valid? One might argue Sweden is generally most comparable to the other Scandinavian countries and Finland, and it did worst of them in terms of covid death rate by a substantial margin.
Biden and Congress want to ban TikTok. At this point it may be impossible.
They’re quickly crashing into the hard limits of Washington’s power.

TLDR: Biden is too much of a coward to ban Tik Tok.
I hate to be a realist, but I will be a realist. In a city, if someone shoots at me, tries to stab me, etc, I can't counter unless I have a weapon which many of these cities don't allow, that means the death rate from suicides, domestic abuse, and homicides goes down, there is no individualistic way to protect yourself against a group of people, or even just someone who attacks from behind. I have more options if someone tries to do that to me in a car, I have more options to counter it.
The reason I say I love Tokyo in previous posts is because their crime rates are low so the odds of you getting ambushed are lower; much lower, I didn't say San Franciso for a reason, and now you know why.
Why are linking this to cities?
It is way easier to get away with crimes in rural areas. You can kill people and no one finds the body for days. There are no neighbours that can help, or at least witness, the crimes
The RATES of crime are much higher in rural areas

TLDR: Biden is too much of a coward to ban Tik Tok.
No body in China cares and just finds ways to get around the bans
Banning Tik Tok will do nothing
More people more problems. And less ways to defend yourself via weapons or car less options in a bad situation.
It could hamper it as a financial way for annoying gen z twats to gain income selling lead paint items from Temu. The Gen Z on Tik Tok are all sociopath clout chasers anyways. YouTube minus the comments section is a better social media site.
You literally linked some gen z tik tok person to make an argument for you a page or two back...
This is why I can't even take half the things he says seriously. Let alone about a quarter.
My point being: I don't take a majority of the crap he says seriously and ignore him.
Oh sure, I get that, I was nitpicking. But, well, seemed more useful than responding to what they'd said.
Issue #1 is if lockdowns actually provide overall benefit. Then you can get to other discussions like money and whatnot. We haven't gotten past Issue #1 yet. When are you (or anyone) ever gonna put forward PROOF lockdowns have had overall benefit? If you say something works, you have to prove it, I've been waiting like 2-3 years for this proof but nobody has provided any proof that this intervention has provided any overall benefit.
Do drugs trials not see if 1) the drug works and 2) what the side effects are and then determine whether the benefits (assuming it at least somewhat works) outweigh the costs (side effects) to see whether the drug has overall benefits? How is that not a cost-benefit analysis?
HCQ and IVM have very little harms, even masking probably has more harms than taking either one of those drugs for a say a week. If fact, worldwide, IVM provided overall benefit because so many people worldwide had preexisting issues that IVM helped with.
Wow, you keep missing my point over and over again. Sweden had less OVERALL deaths (not just covid). Covid isn't on the only public health issue, how many times do I have to keep repeating myself? You can't even read simple things...
OMFG.... OVERALL DEATHS, Sweden beat like everyone.
You've heard the saying "correlation is not causation", right?
Sure. And while you're at it, call my decision whether to buy a packet of sweets is a cost-benefit analysis, whether the 80p I spend is worth the enjoyment of the sweets.
Well, that would just be silly....Sure. And while you're at it, call my decision whether to buy a packet of sweets is a cost-benefit analysis, whether the 80p I spend is worth the enjoyment of the sweets.
...because we don't have all the pertinent information. What are we talking about here? Liquorice allsorts? Haribo?
Grab a collared work shirt with a pen slot on the pocket. Those are perfect to put your lanyard zinger on.
Haters try to bring down Aussie-style sushi restaurant in NYC — because the owner is white
There’s no oppressor quite like a white immigrant woman selling sushi.
