Fewer people would have issues with Covid-19 vaccines had they not been rushed out the door to satisfy the " DO SOMETHING " crowd. There is a VERY good reason medical trials take so long. Anyone who has ever had severe side effects to a medication ( even fully tested and FDA approved ones ) will fully understand why some folks choose not to be first in line.
Besides, if you look a bit further down the road than tomorrow, you'll realize the " vaccine passport " mandate won't last very long. Both the airline and the cruise industry run pretty close to the red line in terms of keeping their heads above water. Once you prohibit say . . . 30% or more folks from utilizing those services, it will take an ongoing government bailout to keep them out of bankruptcy. I figure once things simmer back down ( and the media quits fueling the fire ) we'll be back to business as usual soon enough. Something else will happen ( probably a War at the rate things are going ) and everyone will forget all about Covid-19.
I'm genuinely curious what will happen when someones produces a vaccination card indicating they had received the Russian or Chinese versions of the vaccine. Does it count ? Or would it have to be one of the " approved " versions distributed within the US ? The same holds true for US Citizens traveling to other countries. Does the US version count, or will they demand you take the locally approved version ?
I would mod up if I had the points for common sense.
The passports would only be used for international travel that a country would say tourists can't enter unless they have been vaccinated. It will not be the travel industry that uses them but the Governments. It makes sense internationally to control the movement of unvacinated people into a country to limit the danger to their own people.
The GOP or Fox or someone this trying out another culture war that has no basis in reality. There is no lawful way a business can deny entry to someone on shot record ( at this point). If the pandemic goes for another 2 years or so then you could see the public pushing for one but that will probably not happen ( with Covid).
People on Robin Hood pay no fees. They are the product. Robin Hood resells live trading data. Furthermore, it takes a few days for trades to clear, and the broker has to have liquidity so that the customer can actually make their trades. WallStreetBets could well have burned through Robin Hood's liquidity, and Robin Hood's broker. The complaints would be far larger if customers couldn't exit their leveraged positions because they'd gummed up the internal workings of the brokerage houses.
I would mod this up if I had points.
No one is talking about all the other clearinghouses who also had to stop trading on GameStop( eTrade Swaube) and it will come up that they were following the rules that Congress made after 2008 to halt trading if they did not have enough capital on hand to cover the trades.
Should they be mad that the app that sells your info of your trade to a hedge fund and partners before they make the trade so the hedge fund use arbitrage to make some filth lucre? Will the masses get mad when the AMC trading turns out to be a classic pump and dump and the reddit pansies are left holding the bag?
The market is crooked for the big money but it is the only game in town.
No one is doing anything illegal but the reddit group is screwing around with the larger hedge funds at their own detriment.
If you want to see what the big boys do, read Michael Lewis' book Flash Boys. short version - Day traders are basically screwed
I've heard so many times about devs at game companies crunching, burning out, etc..., but I don't recall an instance where any other type of development had the same level of, shall we say, "abuse", of its developers (expecting constant overtime, etc.)
I've heard of some people putting in 80 hour weeks to finish up (non-game) products, but more often than not, those working that hard were doing it more out of passion for their work, rather than feeling forced to do it...
I worked for a startup that expected 80+ hours every week and 100 at crunch time. They had a turnover rate of over 30% but you can always hire kids right out of college with no life to put in that work. I believe they expected developers not to have wives/husbands and if they did then they had better not have kids and if they did have kids the spouse should take care of them.
I think the thing I have seen left out is he is threatening to do this because #DiaperDonald is trending on Twitter.
I just have to write this again because of the absurdity of it.
He is threatening to shut down the military budget because of a treading tag on Twitter is mean to him!

Please continue the debate on Sec 230. The WH does not care.
Immerman is not suggesting a "fair play" law, they're suggesting that if you "referee" (curate) content at all you don't get protections, but if you don't then you do get protections. They're not saying how to referee it. And since the companies would want protections, they would forego the curation and let the users handle anything like that, so that they're not responsible for it, and not liable for the outcome of it.
This is what allowed the fantastic growth of US-based Internet companies, while parallels in other countries continued to labor under liability for anything randos post to their site. And for most of those countries, it isn't just copyright issues, but liable for truthful but nasty statements about other people, another casualty of a lack of a First Amendment.
Just put the Fairness Doctrine back but as a law rather than a FCC rule. Removing it has allowed the echo chambers we enjoy today ( for both sides).

This drug has been around for a long time and a cheap anti viral.
At this point, I'd have expected some double blind tests to be underway by now.
Since it's an antiviral, you need to take it early. I heard this with zinc shows good results when taken early.
So having articles saying it's still unproven means the medical system doesn't want to test it. Now I actually believe it's because it's a cheap treatment that won't cause bio company stocks to rocket up on "possible breakthrough" news releases.
It is not an anit viral. It is a Antimalarial quinolines. Since Malaria is caused by a parasite the drug helps produce a toxin to kill the parasite.

Here is a better( and recent) article comparing Sweden to the other Scandinavian countries.
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/0...
Given the population density it kind of makes sense to try but but as niffydude pointed out, It is worst for their population. They have far more cases then any other Scandinavian by a long shot. They look bad compared to Demark that has 5x the population density.
Rich people stay that way by not spending their money but spending others money.
Disney streaming is for children, they lack content across the board, so no kids then Disney streaming is like for a month once a year, in the end they will abandon it because they simply lack content. The most shallow streaming service driven by delusions of grandeur the same delusions that turned Starwars into Saturday cartoon matinee action fluff, a long way from Sunday night at the movies in terms of story quality.
Streaming services need to be independent of studios because otherwise they simply lack sufficient content and will be short rotated on streaming service swapping (Say a month every 18 months). People no longer care about the latest canned content, they will see it eventually and there is a whole lot to chose from.
Close. Disney+ is for parents of smallish children. They have the market on princesses and you had better spend your $$ per month so your kids can watch the movies over and over. Those DVDs will go into the vault and never come out.
I am surprised that no one has mentioned the copyright bribery/battles Iser has won. They are going to let a few years of none Disney characters go into public domain then lock it all down again by 2024.
It would be good if they look at where companies basically lied about investment/jobs/rates to get the merger. I just have a feeling this is cover to go after political enemies or solicit donations/bribes for the party/person in power
I would mod this up if I had points. This is more about profit than political.
