Theo Johnson has crazy upside. Probably going to start going a bit earlier in rookie drafts now.

Ranch - My kids will put this on anything

We need to get rid of door dash. Its making things worse and preys on lower income people.

Bandit is gone but two criminals made it to round 2? :bag:

People who only live for today can afford a $7 big mac on the regular. That's a different problem in our society. People who only live for the moment are often times the obese.

I'm sure we will eventually go the route of making them second class citizens, shame and ostracize them. No airlines, no concerts, no dining out. Maybe even limit their medical care. America's version of "motivating" people.

That is some interesting food for thought (no pun). Probably exposes some bias in my thinking. I saw the immediate reward potential and didn't factor in what the second or third order affect might be.

Matt Damon was on a podcast a while back explaining that star salaries and advertising for the movies got too expensive. Production companies had to scale back on both and were only picking scripts they knew would be profitable. The Asian market eats up the marvel / fast and furious stuff, so...

Work from the office people should get a raise!

The lab leak theory is 100 times more plausible than the wild origin theory. The covid pandemic highlights the risk associated with this type of research. That said, it could be it's own thread, but the reality is that from here on any conversation about gain of function is going remind...

I'm right there with you. It sounds good in theory, but I'd need to learn more about the benefits. Faith in the process is around zero right now.

You seem to be correct. My mistake. I thought we had banned it in the US.

The paper trail was always there. I think the problem was that our leadership, media, whoever... wanted to elevate these same public health officials to guide our response. We pushed truth and accountability to the back burner and told ourselves it was better that way. Gain of function needs...

NIH finally admits taxpayers funded gain of function research in Wuhan.
