Oil drillers are the only ones with the gumption and know-how to destroy the asteroid heading to earth and save Liv Tyler.

For some reason, it is easier to train oil drillers to be astronauts than it is to train astronauts to operate a drill.

It was an engaging job with passionate people in an absolutely essential and at the time incredibly innovative industry, the kind of thing someone would need to be doing regardless of place or time or political or economic system. I think it should be phased out and I think like any big corporation the oil majors are super unscrupulous but you could never call it a "bullshit job".

haha is this a combination of "well someone had to do it" and "the only moral fossil fuel extraction job was my fossil fuel extraction job"

actually Biden would have access to better treatment than Trump if Joe gets COVID since Biden is recently booster'd and also has access to Pfizer's antiviral which is pretty impressive at reducing risk of severe disease


that says he takes daily COVID tests and is taking additional ones since he started having symptoms, says he has a cold

Given what we know about the mom's beliefs at the very least, I'm surprised the excuse for running away isn't that they fear an antifa death squad is forming up to hunt them down. They'll be in custody by this time tomorrow even if they are trying to run away, at least this time these scumbags will have to face up to what they have done to their son and the community.

That's precisely the logic. If we forgive debt, then we have one less thing that we can hold over people's heads. If we have one less thing that we can hold over people's heads, they might be less compelled to take lovely jobs with lovely pay because we force them into a lifetime of debt servitude, and we can't go and let the little people think that they're worthy of that. Debt forgiveness is for big banks and billionaires.

Why do people act like this is still some special premium cure all for the rich and powerful? My father was just some rando on Medicare last winter during the height of the winter wave and he got monoclonal antibodies. No, they were not a cure all either.

i was offered them when i tested positive in january because of the diabetes, but i didn't bother. still don't know what it would have done for me

my covid was weird in that i had zero lung issues, but one hell of a fever and the complete inability to keep down more than like half a can of sprite over the course of the day without vomiting

the monoclonals were insanely expensive when they were first being produced because they're biologics, compounded with that meaning only rich people got them

Now I think they're being manufactured a lot better or more and they're a lot cheaper, like 50k a treatment down to under 2k now, but there's still the memory of them being mega expensive and they ain't exactly cheap now. Of course the reason medicare randos and people walking into a library can get it for free is because a bunch of politicians are major stockholders in the manufacturers now. DeSantis especially following in the footsteps of his predecessor

Eh, I dunno, maybe some folks do? I come from a family of doctors and healthcare workers, so I've had monoclonal antibodies explained to me ad nauseum, usually without me asking. But while people are wrong in thinking that the therapy is rare and exotic or magical or whatever, there is a kernel of truth in there, ie: presidents get top-of-the-line healthcare, if Trump survived COVID then Biden would probably survive it too, etc.

Up here in Canada they are still scarce enough that they are only giving them to people in the ICU of the hospitals, or atleast that's what I understand from what my co-worker who's dad was recently a survivor of a 4 day coma adventure on a ventilator... It turned out he has diabetes and like 3 other co-morbidities and he just about checked out but eventually snuck out of there with his life.

Have those scumbag parents in Michigan turned themselves in yet, or are they trying to hold out to watch their wolverines play in the championship game tomorrow? All I see is that the police haven't heard as of 4 or 5 hours ago about their whereabouts.

Just the thought of vanishing into the wind while your 15 year old kid is arrested for terrorism charges and is facing life in a mental institution.. Like even though their kid is a killer, them abandoning him like that is hosed up.

Law enforcement had been able to track the couple's whereabouts by cell phone pings but can no longer do so as the couple's cell phones are turned off, the official said.

You should only get $5k forgiven from your loans or have $5k more added on.

Actually start a poll of people who have paid off their loans on how they feel about everyone else getting (even some) of theirs paid off. My tiny bit "meh" will be among the 10% of reasonable people while the other 90% will demand full repayment with penalties or prison time (or both!). Enjoy!

It could be 100% of people demanding full repayment in polling and it still wouldn't have anything to do with the reasons the Democrats as a whole and Biden in particular aren't doing anything about student debt and are in fact actively choosing to make the situation worse. Theorycrafting "oh well people want, oh well polls show" is totally orthogonal

According to the Detroit scanner Facebook page which monitors the police radios, the found the vehicle and someone spotted the wife by the river. SWAT and several police departments plus the FBI are apparently locking down the area. Also apparently they had a goddamn armory in their house which is why SWAT is involved.
