I am the US Northeast and the proposal is to move to join the Atlantic standard time and not have DST. Season-wise and Lifestyle-wise, a study concluded that this would be a better fit than the current condition. I’d personally love that.

I don’t disagree that the transition part is the worst, but more people are supporting standard time because it fits better with the schedule of most people.

I used to be on the DST camp, but a few years with a family and house of my own, and suddenly ST makes more sense. Then playing the game of placing oneself into somebody else’s shoes, and I realized that only young adults in rich countries really benefit from DST.

You don't do sustainable farming for the money. It can certainly pay the bills and some. Plus subsidies and incentives can help.

If you want to make money you start a vertical farming AgTech, which will not be profitable, but will attract the trendy funding. Pay yourself well while it last.

Lots of statistic. Especially anything to do with clustering, and how to analyze and compare gene and protein expression networks from various species, or tissues. Those are particularly important in this COVID-19 era.

In term of general network analysis and visualization, I think logic, symbolism, Petri net, are underutilized. Probably because they require more CS and Math type of trained people to work on those than your typical biologist becoming bioinformatician learned to handle.

Leting gouging happens also produces shortages, hoarding, mis-allocation, and crime. And no one starts producing new gas. Gas companies where not the one gouging to begin with, individuals profiteering from an unfortunate and temporary event were.

Any examples?

The main thing we see are individuals hoarding a product, setting up a shop to profiteer from an unfortunate and temporary event.

The situation is temporary and it would be a lousy business model to start developing a "new" product based on the possibility of asking a high price for a short period of time. The incumbents increase in revenue comes from additional number of sales, not from the price hike. What happens when the demand surge goes down? Who is more likely to stay?

I think a government should be able to provide strict guidelines on how a business can comply and get approved for staying open. Some States have that in place for companies that are on the list of exempt businesses, and those lists can be ridiculously long, with plenty of not-essential-at-all businesses.

The current problem is a lack of clear guidelines. To me it seems that the plan is to not have one.

Now, I do condone Musk's. I think his 9yo tantrum throwing behavior is on par with the child king staying at the WH.

Wow. What an answer. All flaviviruses cause ADE. Only few attenuated vaccines worked as a strategy. And no they don't shed.

Thanks for saying that. It is super flawed.

I was planning to go through all of his replies to other posters and debunk them one-by-one.

His assumption is based on live-attenuated vaccines. The measles vaccine being one of those. All the early vaccines where like that. The process only requires heat inactivation. So you end up with a dead or almost dead virus, which can't replicate anymore. Your immune system recognizes it as a foreign agent, makes antibodies to tag it for removal.

Today we prefer to immunize with a part of the virus structure, which end up doing the same thing.

What about Dengue?

So, it that motherjones.com article you link, it's clearly BPA they are talking about, an additive to plastic, not plastic itself.
