Sneezing/snot production. Sure, it can feel amazing. But the sudden urgency to stop everything I'm doing and focus on my nose or risk a disgusting eruption of green mucus all over my face in a public setting is something I could do without.
Also, I'm waiting for someone with medical knowledge to come in here and mention Prions or something else silently devastating to the body.
Welcome to 22 hour work shifts, with twenty minute breaks.
Or just have the ability to control how fast it grows.
Prove to me you never raped your niece
Be careful with this one though.
Just to be clear, most of us aren't even remotely surprised. We have been losing our voices telling the idiots we live and work around that this isn't stupid as hell.
I work on-call. Any hour day or night. I frequently go back to sleep after getting called. I have like fifty alarms on my phone.
Because the second worse part about COVID was teaching companies that we really can keep the businesses working with only a handful of employees. Unfortunately they didn't learn the other half of that, which is that this only works for a short time and the fact that it worked for a little while is NOT evidence that it can work forever.
This is hilarious. Last time my union tried to do anything, Biden stepped in and stopped us. Then he took a victory lap about being a hero in to us while Congress forced a shitty contract down our throats.
As an American I would be afraid to travel right now. We have pissed off a lot of the world and I would want to work on a French accent before getting out that passport.
Most of us are either completely deluded or utterly crushed by the collapse of our entire system of government. We know this is corrupt, and we want to organize to bring it to an end. But we have so many checks and balances that even if we all marched today with pitchforks and torches it wouldn't effect any real change without burning down every police station, city hall, state house, and the federal buildings. All while hoping the military doesn't show up and now us down with their weaponry. All the whole knowing that there has been a sharp rise in the popularity of police using violence and death as a deterrent.
In short, we know, and we can't see any way out of this mess. It wasn't supposed to be possible, and looking back we all saw it coming. But we were just dismissed as alarmists every time we spoke up and we are surrounded by morons who think this is the best thing that has ever happened to this national.
As an actual Locomotive Engineer (I drive freight trains) I am having a hard time conceptualizing the level of stupidity here.
The Taxer-in-Cheif can be a moron at the same time that corporations rape our wallets without either of them excusing the other.
Prices are set by graphing a demand schedule and the supply. You graph how many sales you will get at each price point (sales go up as price goes down). Then you graph how many a company will produce at each price point (the more it costs, the less they will be willing to make/risk). The point where those two graphs intersect is the equilibrium. Which is the best price to charge. Taxes shift the cost, increase the price where they intersect.
Digital is weird. Iirc, the risk is more in pirating. The more copies that exist, or the easier they are to access, the more pirated content will be out there. Don't forget to include shareholder profits in cost, and the cost of other parts of the business (like a beloved endeavor that doesn't turn a profit, Costco hot dogs for example).
I'm not an economist and welcome any better explanations or corrections to this. It's been a while since I took that class. But I love the topic.
