I just discovered Woody Guthrie after watching the "No direction home" documentary about Bob Dylon on Netflix.

There is incredible, timeless insight into the human condition in his work.

Thank you for posting this.

The libertarian propaganda runs deep in the west.

The more I see and hear about coronavirus, its origins and the knock on effects it has on the economy and society I can only hope that this becomes our 'come to Jesus' moment (figuratively speaking).

This pandemic started because too many people are living together in close proximity, eeking out a living by literally catching and eating any living thing they can.

The economic effects are due to an unforgiving system that takes pride in an 'eat what you kill' culture and a 'winner take all' model of enterprise. As a consequence, there are a LOT of businesses running on thin margins and making just enough to cover costs each month.

Even one month of things going to zero will ruin a whole host of restaurants, sole proprietors, real estate speculators, and on down the chain. I hope I'm wrong, but this kind of instant systematic reduction in the economy feels unprecedented within the last 50+ years.

There are so many knock on effects of all this - people will be unemployed with limited opportunities at best. They'll potentially lose their healthcare, and in the worst cases their homes. Schools are closing around the country, and they won't have lunch programs running which means a lot of kids are likely to go without adequate food.

We need to fix (or create) safety nets in our country (and indeed the world), so when things like this happen we can all chip in to cover each other. Basic healthcare, affordable or public housing, eviction protections, food programs. These aren't radical ideas, these are the only way forward.

Objectively, America is a young culture - often considered adolescent, as compared to European cultures that have existed for many centuries.

This youthful exuberance has its benefits but it also has more than its share of idealism, naïveté and general lack of big picture considerations.

The survivalist movement is a great example of this.

What specifically are you looking at? DWI MRI? CT Perfusion? AI models?

I apologize if I violate some sort of code of conduct by asking this but is there a reliable, safe way you can recommend obtaining magic mushrooms or truffles? I found some online sources offering them but I’m not sure who is trustworthy?

Absolutely. | Also EPIC is spectacularly unfit for purpose.

Total garbage software that essentially functions as a billing tool.

"Trust me, I'm Lying" by Ryan Holiday

'If you flew, say, 10 times a year rather than 365.25, all on the 737 Max, it's a fraction of a percent chance.'

This works out to around 0.2% (1 in 2000) which is spectacularly poor odds for modern aviation where the typical risk of a crash on a single commercial airliner is around 1 in 5 million (less than 1 in 100 000 for 10 flights per year over 50 years - so basically 50 times less safe).

Are there any viable franchises that are hands off? Like you put in the investment, hire manager(s) and earn revenue as the owner without having to invest a lot of time on the day to day operation?

Still doesn’t fill me with reassurance about the safety of flying on one of these.

Well we've given google everything else, we may as well give them all our healthcare information too.

So glad our corporate surveillance masters are teaming up to infiltrate every aspect of our existence.
