Wow! That's a great price. Where can I get it at that price? The car looks okay but I can think of many others that I would rather own. The more "desirable" EVs seem sell at much higher price bracket as compared to their fossil fuel counterparts...

Perhaps the surveillance state might save the day. If the sequence of interactions is recorded a jury could review it and decide if any consent was given or given and subsequently withdrawn at any point :-)

Yes. There is good stuff out there. I often go for live radio as a medium of discovery but within some well defined boundaries. I might listen to classical music or a jazz station and discover new artists or new interpretations within a genre that I already like. I might listen to a some talkshows in the hope that I might discover something interesting that was outside of my radar.

> "Wet markets" are just farmers' markets

Well...I guess their definition of farm animals is considerably broader than ours...:-)

I've never used the service. Probably not available where I live. Judging by the complaints here it looks like they could improve on some aspects of the operation. To add to that I've incredulous responses to their valuation. All I can say that what they have achieved is very impressive. Regardless of how it pans out from here.

> After a series of accidents in coal mines in China, bosses are required to spend a certain amount of hours each year underground or they face huge fines and losing their job.

Sounds like an application of the Hammurabi code

Good point. It may well be true that FB 2.7 billion acts as a moat. What I find interesting is that FB has had a bad rap since it reached the 1 billion mark. But instead of going the number of users has gone up. That being said many of those can't be a active though

How would you improve the economy? Thus far it appears while the economy has grown the distribution of the benefits has been skewed. Some appear to be worse off as the country as whole is getting richer.

It's a fair question. One could argue that it doesn't really matter. We often take comfort from a large body of evidence supporting a course of action. Let's assume we don't have that in this case. Could we not invert the question? I.e. is there evidence that wearing (or the mandate) masks increases the spread of the virus? Or could we relax our need for evidence and use the precautionary principle? That is to say one may have doubts about what is being said about the virus but to be on the safe side wear the mask anyway.
