At the first glance of post of ICE in unversity i thought they were coming for all the international students and teachers (because only citizens have real rights and visas can be revoked without informing their holders).Because public research universities recruit from across the world, and it's in bad form to have an agency that's at the epicenter of controversy in the US recruit in such an institution.
That's a weird statement to makeIt be like that, eh?![]()
Minneapolis shooting: AG Pam Bondi gives Gov. Walz conditions for ICE to leave Minnesota
The United States Attorney General is urging Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to support federal law enforcement efforts and immigration policy, hours after a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident was fatally shot a Border Patrol agent.www.fox9.com
Weird? Desperate, maybe.That's a weird statement to make
Perhaps someone does not care much for Bolsonaro, or its followers

You said it only takes like one microbe to infect you when that's not true.So you introduced this metric. You introduced the reference. And now you want to talk about how unreliable it is.
When did we (forum members) act as if wiping down vegetables or shopping bags was necessary?
Uhrm, no. Not if its unrelated to lockdowns, its not.
"Suppose this ia true", it asks us, that the experience of lockdown is equivalent to 2 months dead.
Absolute horseshit. And that is the calculation its asking us to make.
No, it's not. If the FBI has a scandal, does that mean the FBI can't recruit in colleges? This is nonsense because you're emotional about the issue. Banning a government agency from recruiting at a college is simply closing off opportunities to people.Because public research universities recruit from across the world, and it's in bad form to have an agency that's at the epicenter of controversy in the US recruit in such an institution.
But they have *administrative* warrants! You know, the kind signed off by an ICE employee. It's not like there's a fucking constitutional amendment whose primary goal was to prevent the executive from engaging in search and seizure without the judicial signing off on it or anything...wait...well fuck.![]()

I think there's another principle at play, which is that you can get a lot done by breaking the law before the courts finally stop you. Take Uber: that pretty much had a business model of lawbreaking. By the time the courts caught up and processed everything, Uber had put most of their opposition out of business. Uber could undercut local taxi firms by breaking laws/regulationsto lower costs, although subsidising from its vast, investor-filled coffers also helped.Unitary executive theory time - ICE derives their power because it was delegated from Trump, Trump is a very special boy who is immune to all laws, so if ICE is doing what Trump wants they inherit his immunity. I half expect this to be an actual legal argument made in an actual court before we have a non-MAGA president again (I don't promise the one thing that eventually comes to all of us won't reach Trump first).
Theoretically, it's perfectly true; theoretically, given the right environment, a single viral agent could reproduce almost exponentially.You said it only takes like one microbe to infect you when that's not true.
No: you have claimed that public bodies essentially bullshitted the public, knowing their guidance was useless, for no discernable gain. To substantiate this you have provided various examples of early, misguided behaviour, and pointed to a few early, mostly-inconclusive studies in other countries that showed they weren't useful. You have never shown any of this evil, wilful misguidance that """the science""" supposedly did.No, you claimed we didn't know various things when we did and the media and experts said otherwise. That is my point.
And under no reasonable definition is foreign aid "lockdown policy" because it has fucking nothing to do with lockdowns.There wasn't a singular lockdown policy. Closing beaches or schools or telling people to stay home is lockdown policy.
It is predicating its comparison on exactly that. It directly calls the aggregate communal time spent in lockdown "lost years" and directly, 1-to-1, compares the time lost to that lost to death, for which it uses exactly the same term.The analysis isn't saying each day of lockdown is a day of lost life like you had claimed
It's possibly possible but not how it works in the real world. Infectious dose is a metric that is very much a best guess estimate and that's all it is. I only brought it up because you're acting like just being in contact with someone sick for a second means you can get infected. I haven't gotten a cold all cold season this year (from last fall through the spring) and I've been in contact with tons of sick people (and some for long periods of time). If colds transmitted so easily, I would've gotten sick at some point this season. Found out that I'm most likely immune to norovirus as well.Theoretically, it's perfectly true; theoretically, given the right environment, a single viral agent could reproduce almost exponentially.
Of course, the probability of such a situation is vanishingly low, due to environmental factors-- both internal to the body and external. That's why metrics such as the infectious dose exist: to factor them in and approximate the viral load likely to overcome such factors and cause an infection.
And that metric shows its very easy to transmit the common cold, with the infectious dose low enough to be generated in a few minutes.

I'm sure you can read, but your comprehension of even quasi-academic material is abominably poor.
No, i said being in relatively brief contact is enough-- a second is highly unlikely to transmit, but minutes can certainly be enough.It's possibly possible but not how it works in the real world. Infectious dose is a metric that is very much a best guess estimate and that's all it is. I only brought it up because you're acting like just being in contact with someone sick for a second means you can get infected.
Blah blah blah. Moving on.I haven't gotten a cold all cold season this year (from last fall through the spring) and I've been in contact with tons of sick people (and some for long periods of time). If colds transmitted so easily, I would've gotten sick at some point this season. Found out that I'm most likely immune to norovirus as well.
You have repeatedly said they knew the guidance was wrong and gave it anyway. That would be disinformation. Without any discernible gain or motive.I never claimed that. I said the public was given misinformation. I didn't claim it was disinformation.
Oh you're talking about travel for aid workers now? A minute ago you were talking about funding for these programmes being cut.If policy was not to have aide workers go to other countries, it's part of lockdowns.
Yet it used the same term for both and did a 1-to-1 comparison. It absolutely made that equivalence.The study did not say one day of lockdown = one of lost life, that's what you said.
Banning how, they have a website, plus it's counterproductive. Raise your hand if you want to tell other students that you want to join ICe with your face showing.You said it only takes like one microbe to infect you when that's not true.
No, you claimed we didn't know various things when we did and the media and experts said otherwise. That is my point.
There wasn't a singular lockdown policy. Closing beaches or schools or telling people to stay home is lockdown policy.
The analysis isn't saying each day of lockdown is a day of lost life like you had claimed, then claimed that I can't read. Losing out on experiences you would've had is a loss of life. Are you gonna tell someone that was in prison for 20 years that they lost no life whatsoever?
No, it's not. If the FBI has a scandal, does that mean the FBI can't recruit in colleges? This is nonsense because you're emotional about the issue. Banning a government agency from recruiting at a college is simply closing off opportunities to people.
