Multiple coworkers of mine have also repeated that "the vaccine rewrites your DNA" bullshit with other gems like "covid is man made, the vaccines are man made as well".

To at least credit the article, it does say at the bottom that it hasn't been reviewed yet. quote:bioRxiv publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical practice/health-related behavior, or treated as established information. I have no idea what that means besides "hey, thing might possibly show correlation, but we don't know yet."

They want to expand access to research papers and publishing, get quite a bit of questionable science because of it and can't dedicate the resources to say anything about most of them.

facialimpediment posted:That situation is even dumber - the J&J is an adenovirus vector! Your coworker is more comfortable with scientists taking a virus, making it harmless, changing the guts to make the body produce covid-antigen, then giving you the virus. Literally giving you a virus to protect yourself from getting a virus! lol yeah The mRNA vaccines are coated in lipids that let them slip through the cell membrane, and then cellular machinery takes the mRNA and executes it’s instructions. Adenovirus vector vaccines use the modified virus to infiltrate the cell and the nucleus, at which point their DNA is transcribed to RNA and things proceed more or less as in the case where it started as mRNA. I’ve been describing the mRNA vaccines as “it’s like if someone slipped a document into the secretary’s inbox with a cover sheet saying ‘please make one dozen copies of this wanted poster’ ”. In this analogy, the viral vector walks in the front door in a suit and puts the document in the copy machine on their own. The tactic works fine, but mRNA vaccines are positively polite in comparison. They both involve genetic code and neither of them modifies your own. The SWAT team blows up the office in either case.

So, if I understand this correctly... drat near zero interest rates have caused rent seeking corporations to gobble up real estate at at like a 50% -100% premium, because they believe their ROI will be north of drat near zero and there is no better risk adjusted investment? So the price of real estate keeps shooting up but the underlying (income generating) value of the property doesnt and can someone explain to me how this doesnt end in another 2008 scenario?

BoJo’s government proposing to make noisy or disruptive protests carry up to a 10-year sentence. Absolutely lovely to do this right after the Bobbies roughed up a bunch of women for protesting the murder of a woman. By a police officer. When fascism comes to the UK, it will have bad hair, bad teeth and have the most punchable face ever.

From what I've seen these places largely used cash reserves to purchase real estate, meaning there won't be the same kind of credit crunch. Additionally, an individual vs a corporation's debt mechanics differs hugely. If a bunch of commercial real estate places go bust, there won't be a TON of impact on the consumer market. The most likely thing is that commercial rent spikes, causing a bunch of businesses to move or close. 2008 was spurred on, in part by subprime investments meaning the loaning of huge sums to individuals and entities who ultimately wouldn't be able to cover their debts in. A rent-seeking corporation can just declare bankruptcy and have their CRE auctioned off by the bank, an individual will seek to avoid foreclosure by any means necesary and drag themselves into worse debt with other credit methods.

Handsome Ralph posted:A noble is very upset about senior noble pay. quote:Most people in uniform stay for service rather than money, but there comes a time in every career when the opportunity costs shift. While few would feel sorry for flag officers—they are, after all, the highest paid members of the military—the current system is not sustainable if we want the best officers to remain in uniform. It's not low flag pay that causes the best and brightest to leave the military.

Handsome Ralph posted:A noble is very upset about senior noble pay. I don't want to give them more money, but I do suspect "providing no incentive to show initiative or perform above peers for a decade" is one of those things nobody in their right mind would design intentionally but emerges because of a combination of factors unique to the military. I also can't think of a meaningful way to do it that wouldn't require a huge increase of pay, as I suspect the qualitative difference between 199,000 and 220,000 is nowhere near the difference between 50,000 and 71,000. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Maybe ensuring there are incentives and paths for O-6 through O-8 to show and be rewarded for initiative would be better and let the three and four stars mostly spin plates. Edit: Stultus Maximus posted:It's not low flag pay that causes the best and brightest to leave the military. Also this, at least not directly. I don't think more pay is demonstrated to help here, especially since it would be tied to long term improvements post serving in these positions, but it does bring to light a potential contributing factor: what incentives are provided to flag officers to actually try and solve the issues that do cause the best and the brightest to leave? Can love of country or congressional mandate provide motivation to overcome beauracracy and institutional inertia? I'd wager no. piL fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Mar 16, 2021 |

Get rid of the E-9 rank, reallocate the saved money throughout the rest of the ranks. You will have made generals happy and improved both the overall morale and efficiency of the entire military.

While executive pay had increased exponentially over 30 years, flag pay has increased linearly. The article is right about the brain drain, but the better solution would be to reduce executive pay (lol).
