you gotta admit, being accused of stealing vaccine info from multiple countries, rushing through the trial process and admitting they are injecting the military as test subjects with it... is the most russia way they could have gone about this very on-brand

I think it's probably more ethical for people in other countries with less hosed up housing markets to be landlords, and it's also more ethical if it's not done specifically as a business: i.e.: 'buy more houses to buy more houses, to buy more houses, all to rent out' is bad and "buy a house for myself, but move somewhere else and buy another one, rent out the one I already own" is less bad. I also agree that it's not dumb to think that "wait and see" when it comes to a vaccine may be a bad move. Vaccines can cause problems! The ones that are currently being used by people worldwide are fine, they've been long-term tested. I do want a vaccine for the coronavirus and will take one, but lol@ taking a vaccine that 10000 people were injected with, 3 months ago and 'they're ok so far'. I don't have answers for when I will think it's ok, I haven't done a bunch of vaccine research and am not a vaccine ologist, I'll make the decision when a vaccine comes out and I think we'll all be better informed then, well will be I hope. If 5 vaccines come out at the same time and one of them has been tested and approved by, for instance, a Scandanavian government and the other is from some company that is being pushed by Trump, I know which one I'll try to get and which one I'll be massively distrustful of.

I hear you but I'd take it. It's going to be the most scrutinized vaccine in the history of medicine. If they started skipping phases to hit some random deadline, OK yeah not so much, but everything out there says that hasn't happened thus far and one is about to start phase 3 here. The warp-speed part of that dumb name is apparently, we cut through a ton of red tape and actually put money into this thing to the point where we funded multiple vaccines at a large scale knowing full well most of them won't go anywhere..not something you ever see in capitalism. Anyway, none of it matters if enough people say no..it's not like the country can only open for people who have been vaccinated. Imagine how that would go over...

My girlfriend and I own the place we currently live in. We are in the process of buying a new, bigger place for a few reasons. As a result, we are selling the old place, as we do not find it ethical to own and rent out the old place. I do not see how it is hard to avoid becoming a bloodsucker.

If your response is 'great, all personal investing should be banned', then good luck with that. The idiot in this thread renting out multiple units, calling for a government bailout and being 1 month away from bankruptcy is pretty juicy tho.

SARS-CoV-2 spreads like a respiratory virus but then fucks over a huge number of other organs. Is that extremely unusual, or what? I've never heard of this kind of thing before, but I'm far from a virologist. Even when people die of a horrible flu case, it's almost always from associated pneumonia, isn't it? Not combination stroke + heart attack + kidney failure + covid toes + ARDS.

That said, a vascular micro-clot storm virus that spreads like a respiratory virus is, uh, bad. Not quite "airborne HIV" bad, but the sort of thing that even if you beat it, could have a nasty long tail in long-term secondary adverse effects.

Found out one of the people I love most in the world 99% has COVID thanks to one of their dumbass roommates bringing it home. Both roommates tested positive, and they've all been quarantining. I'm terrified because aside from the two roommates he has no support really. I'm just actively praying they all get lucky with mild symptoms. I have no point. Just venting. gently caress 2020 and reality.

My teams sitting it out for a bit instead of trying all that. Rink I work at, no kids allowed in the locker rooms. Mens league and rentals is okay to go in the locker rooms. No spectators (unless the hockey director says they can be in there because they are his friends). Kids don't have to wear masks at all, everyone else is supposed to when they are in the rink (but no spectators?). On ice is limited to 15 people, but there is more like 20-40 during split ice practices. Its basically like normal operation except we put up hand sanitizer stations. Oh and we had one employee test positive which we didn't find out until 2 weeks after his sister was showing symptoms and in the hospital due to a facebook post where the mother claimed THEY ARE ALL NOT CONTAGIOUS AND DONT HAVE A VIRUS. He was also coming in and practicing with his team the entire time. The department of health said no one needs to be tested. One co-worker had to go get tested 9 days ago because his main job made him, still doesn't have results back. I am the only one there sanitizing anything the best I can and I am only there 2-3 days a week. Hockey director claims we will be back to normal, full operation by September. I am still unsure if I actually have minor symptoms or its all placebo, but my boss at my main job doesn't give a poo poo and told me to keep coming in the office even though I've been working remotely very successfully for the past few months. This is all a huge loving joke and its not very funny.

There was an anti-mask protest at the War Memorial here in Melbourne this morning, the event had been advertised on FB as a "mass protest" but the reality was really underwhelming Cops arrested a bunch of them for breaking the lockdown rules and handed out a bunch of fines. https://www.news.com.au/national/vi...TRjsTPcS8ZtoC0E Mithaldu posted:in other words: unless you somehow literally spend 40 hours a week making your renter's experience better with your own labor (no that doesn't include doing your taxes), you're incomparable to a farmer If you want to compare landlords to farmers then metaphor works a lot better if you consider the renters to be the livestock which the farmer tends in order to generate income. Slumlord tenancies would be the equivalent of battery farms where the livestock gets kept in cramped lovely conditions, upmarket tenants are more like free range stock. Background/credit checks are like checking the pedigree of your new stock, gotta make they're going to make a decent return on your investment. And if the hens stop laying then just get rid of them and bring in new layers, easy peasy.
