>...you hear the "it's my child I have ultimate control over it" is much more expressed by US Americans than pretty much anywhere else...
Probably true, but technically because the sentiment is expressed in English. Non-western cultures often take some things a few steps further.

Why downvote a link to a local news outlet?

Looking at the CDC data linked from the healthline article, it appears that the delta variant does not hit children hard.

Shipping is also not the issue.

>The busiest US container ports are moving up the global rankings amid record import volumes, but the deluge of cargoes continues to exceed capacity with growing ship queues on both the East and West Coasts.

>These two sentences cannot simultaneously use the same meanings of the words "supply" and "demand".
The second sentence is technically incorrect. During a bull market, demand is increasing relative to supply. (If supply was decreasing relative to demand, prices would increase, but that would not be a bull market)
>What is the maximum loan?
The GP comment I credited described the "maximum amount of loan" as a function of buyer income and interest rate. Obviously, the house is sold to the highest bidder.
In a hot market, the average price of real estate will approach the largest mortgage available to the average winning bidder (plus some quantity of household wealth).

>The price comes first, and the buyer second.
The price is determined by the intersection of supply and demand. With a bull market in real estate, demand is greater than supply. Buyers have a greater effect on price than sellers. In the extreme, market prices converge to the maximum loan as GP described. In practice, people with higher incomes, liquid investments, or previous home equity can out bid individuals who assume the largest mortgage they can.

Yes, in fact they would be required to make this statement.

>At what point do you get to call the cops on someone for this?
Hopefully some time after you have a polite discussion with them about it.

>The world changed much more in the 50 years before I was born than 50 years after
The world changed even more in the second 50 years, just not the western world.

Innuendo? It's public knowledge that the author has competing interests. A Bayesian approach to the situation demands consideration of the possibility that the author is corrupt.

If someone chooses a male pseudonym, is it sensible for everyone to individually decide what pronouns to use? This strikes me as opposed to similar etiquette.

>To the popular press, "hacker" means someone who breaks into computers. Among programmers it means a good programmer. But the two meanings are connected. To programmers, "hacker" connotes mastery in the most literal sense: someone who can make a computer do what he wants—whether the computer wants to or not. [0]
>I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).
