Who is waiting in the wings to take over?

Uh, Canadian Weekly World News was like the Inquirer. Edit: maybe I'm remembering the name "The Inquirer" wrong, but in any case it was tabloid schlock

This is a made up story from the 90s.

There was a Biff question on Jeopardy yesterday (I think, I'm in a weird time zone), and my first thought was the response would be "what is Trum- er Biff! I mean Biff!"

I wish there was more info on how many were unvaccinated - more than just "predominant" - and the relative seriousness of the symptoms.

There can't be that many anti-vaxxers, can there?

Sort of. Managers still get in a room and decide how the bonus pool should be distributed by ranking people.

Having a more aggressive manager is important for getting a better bonus.

I could see this factoring into layoff decisions.

Thanks for clarifying your view - I get where you're coming from now. I’m not conflating society and government so much as recognizing that in most real-world societies, the line between the two isn’t always so clean. Governments often represent collective values, even imperfectly, and they’re the mechanism through which rights are codified and enforced.

You might believe in total free speech, but I’d argue that most societies - even the most liberal democracies - accept some limits to protect others' rights or prevent harm. If speech truly had zero consequences beyond social disapproval, that could leave vulnerable groups exposed to abuse. So, societies have a right to draw those lines differently, based on their own values.

Anyways, since you can't be civil (i.e. you're a fucking asshole who can't argue without ad hominem attacks), I'm done communicating with you.

Also also, if you were Canadian, what trouble could you possibly get in being critical of Thailand? You're either an insane coward or a liar for that one

Perhaps I'm not in Canada right now. Maybe think outside your tiny little box and stop being a numb skull (see, I can insult you, too.)

Do you agree with any limits on free speech in a society?

The most she'll get is a misdemeanour fine for filing a false residency declaration in Texas.

It will certainly be less than the shitstorm for voting in Hawaii without the correct residency requirements.

I won't give my opinion because I don't want it to lead to me getting in any kind of trouble, if that makes you feel any better.

But in any case, my point is you can't project your beliefs onto others.
