If you want easy access to wild pigs just move to Texas lol, they have a real problem with them

Are there special circumstances with the openAI board? For a normal company the board is supposed to represent the interests of investors. If investors ask for him back the board should comply. Who's interests are the OpenAI board representing?

sell the same plot of forest to n number of people. Send everyone the same pic of the forest they "saved"

Do you think a stargate is easier to figure out than redirecting an asteroid?

CEOs at his level dont just leave on a whim. They have multi year transition plans.

Do you personally know how much your employer pays in tax to employ you? I bet most people dont have any idea. I just had to look it up myself. I would never know if the rate changed provided I didnt read about it in the paper.

I doubt they would... Its not going to make someone more likely to buy their product just because they know how much is going to tax.

Musk is defaulting, student loan forgiveness is the taxpayer picking up the tab. A better question would be if those people think students should be able to default on their loans.

"In addition, there is a problem specific to medical practices - you can't just hand them over to your kid!"

- Doctors partner with the person that will take over their practice for years before retiring. PE is destroying this system and the latest crop of doctors will lose out on mentorship and the opportunity to run a practice. Everything will become big corporate offices and everyone will suffer

What is the US interest in accepting more countries into NATO? Just to solidify its hegemony?

So your opinion seems to be that investigations can never be political? Keep in mind that Trump is being indicted for a misdemeanor that they are contorting into a felony to avoid statute of limitations issue. I think everyone has to make up their own mind when an investigation is political and imho this one is comically so. So much so that i really struggle to see how any one can in good faith claim otherwise

8 years of investigations, two special prosecutor, two impeachments 3-4 non federal investigations all for different crimes... its almost comical to list all of that out and still have people think this isnt purely political.

But also bank failures are disinflationary so is the bailout negating the rate hikes or just negating the new regime of tighter lending standards by banks? I dont think anyone has a solid answer to that question

Totally agree. That should be and has to some extent been made public. The China portion of the story is a complete mystery.

I strongly disagree that they are not doing anything special. They are literally going out into remote bat caves and harvesting coronaviruses and bringing them into large population centers to study.

If China is engaged in a behavior that lead to a global pandemic, we have to know everything about what they were doing so that we can stop this from ever happening again. Who gives a crap about thawed relations after the extraordinary amount of damage this pandemic has done to the world

intent matter for a lot of crimes across the board

why is that a good thing?

And you can of course bring it up early on in your calls with the company as well.

You can take out federally backed student loans at Oberlin...

I dont like giving an opinion for the same reasons I was complaining about. I dont have stake in the region and there is so much nuance in the history im still missing. Things that I found striking though were that there are huge populations of arabs that live peacefully in Israel so this apartheid narrative is complete nonsense. The power dynamics are pretty set in stone, Israel will never have to give up an ounce of land that they dont want to. Anyone that talks about who has what right to what pieces of land are completely out of touch with that. It is irrelevant at this point. And Israel is making massive investments in the country. Palestinians could easily partake in that economic expansion but instead devote a significant portion of their economic activity to the conflict with Israel which has 0% chance of changing anything ever. Pretty sad imho

Im not jewish and visited Israel recently for several weeks. Despite thinking I had a pretty good knowledge base of the situation beforehand, actually being there, and talking to people with actual stake in the region it became obvious that the opinions of people who have never been to Israel and dont have any skin in the game (95% of this thread) are completely off base, un-nuanced and literally worthless.

I am so glad Biden plans on giving these schools a massive handout by forgiving student debt /s

They are considered a first line treatment because they are fast acting whereas other anxiety medications like SSRIs can take weeks to start working.

Was your use monitored by a doctor? It doesn't sound like it. Klonopin was very helpful for me to pull me out of an episode of severe anxiety and constant extreme panic attacks. It was a bridge med until the SSRIs kicked in. My dose was never that high and I wound off them slowly after two months. Stopping abruptly after 3 weeks sounds like a bad idea. Im very grateful for that drug.

Would be interesting if that was the case but Occam's razor says that this was just a disgruntled clerk

No we still need them to overturn some of the ridiculous gun laws in places like NYC.

It seems like every new complex of buildings in NYC comes with a performance arts space. Did we really need one at both Hudson yards and the WTC?

> The government has been in deficit spending for a long time without much inflation

There was still inflation due to the deficit spending. Just because inflation was low doesnt mean it wouldnt have been lower without the deficit spending

We optimize for price so you cant align with something that price doesnt capture. Taxes and subsidies allows us to take those factors into consideration
