Apparently in studies, a LOT of things are effective at reducing covid. A couple of interesting notes:
1. Ibuprofin is not really good or bad, acetaminophen IS bad 2. Ivermectin and HCQ are effective (we knew that by now) 3. Vitamin A appears to be MORE effective than HCQ ("more effective" -> ranks better by more metrics in studies) 4. Remdesivir is at the very lower bound of effectiveness, it's not zero but it's worse than pretty much everything else.

The EU is a project of the US State Department, it always was. The DoS sustains it and the DoS rules over it. The day the DoS is reformed, the EU will cease to exist.
I suspect the era of shaking down American companies will soon be over. Nobody's ready for a sustained 5% treasury, the next 12 months are going to be ugly.
Right now I'm hoping/expecting it dies a fiery death amid a flurry of leaks, high profile apps threatening to pull out of the market, reinvigorated national discussions about leaving the EU, and has-been politicians attempting to claw their way back from obscurity by holding up the process for ransom until they're given some "important" role in the whole thing.
Currently living in an apartment but I'm pretty sure my wife would be up for that if we had the space. Her parents used to keep a pig behind their apartment building for Christmas.
Someone who wants to backdoor E2EE cloud data stores. But something tells me they would be less keen on an official investigation into the names in Epstine's Little Black Book...
AFAIK Trump has a pretty solid chance right now, but it would be so easy to buy him off, give him a chance to look like he's winning, etc.
He is NOT ambitious in the sense of Alexander, Napoleon, or Caesar.
What distinguishes him is that he causes a pavlovian reaction in the left, they lose their minds and start acting utterly irrational in his presence, and end up destroying a lot of their own institutional power.
The author of anarchonomicon calls this an "auto-immune disorder", they attack themselves.
If we have Trump v. Harris & RFK - shut out by the Democrats - makes an independent run, there's no amount of cheating which will give Harris the win.
And THE WORST THING that can possibly happen to the Democrats is to end up with a Trump / Ramiswamy ticket, because unlike Trump, Vivek IS ambitious and he has the Indian-American elite who will support him. He's one person who can literally reshape the US Federal Government in his image.
In fact it can easily be both. Inner members of the party are signaling loyalty by believing that the economy has improved under Biden, but this is destroying their ability to reason as a group and then end up making horrifically tone-deaf posts like the above.
