Re: COVID HAZARD pay, robert Feb 06 08:45

This would be less of a problem if the city also imposed extra pay for grocery delivery drivers as well. After all, Amazon is also competing against these grocery market chains.
Re: student debt compared with Roman Empire, robert Feb 06 08:58

Interesting. So, this argument (probably one that David Graeber would have agreed with) is that debt produces income inequality, redistributing wealth to the upper classes. I guess that's what's happening now, in slow motion. Maybe in 500 years, the trans...

Re: resilience doctrine pt 2, http : //dummy . us . eu . org/robert Feb 06 16:43

Re: The Case of the Serial Sperm Donor - The New York Times, robert Feb 06 17:35

Aren't we all descendents of Genghis Kahn? I mean, this isn't without precedent. In any case, if the main worry is siblings marrying each other, shouldn't the required blood test clear up the problem?

Re: To recall Gavin Newsom, GOP needs another Arnold Schwarzenegger, robert Feb 07 08:09

If it's looking so bad for the Republicans, why is Newsom opening up the state? Is he just trying to be "better safe than sorry" w.r.t. his political survival?
