Agreed. I’m in California and it is pretty obvious our water problems are due to outflows exceeding inflows. They are draining the reservoirs faster than ever. They were full three years ago and are supposed to last five to seven years of drought, by design.
Meanwhile, natural reservoirs like Tahoe do not even recognize there in a drought.
No, public transit systems can only be good on paper. Then they get implemented, the fares are held artificially low for equity reasons, bums move in, polite society abandons the system and it turns into a rolling cesspool. Every time.
My private car however has only my germs. No drugs. No needles. No piss. No stinky bums laying across the seats. My music. Air conditioning. Goes where I want, when I want it.
The only difference is cost. My private car costs me a lot. Your public transit dream also cost ME a lot.
Ah yes, the highly educated CVS parking lot vaccine administrator.
I called my local doctor asking for the vaccine because I wanted it administered by someone used to delivering vaccines and trained in same. They don’t have them and referred me to CVS and Walgreens.
I cannot help but wonder if the administration is correlated in the high number of adverse events.
Tesla’s stock price is confusing if you compare them to a car company. But they are not just a car company. They are also a car manufacturing supply chain, having brought much of their component production in house. They are also an energy company, both generation and storage, but also distribution, like gas stations. Think Exxon, BP, Chevron, ARCO, etc.
They are probably a few other things, but this is the mystery of their valuation.
Right! A healthcare system with a 100% cure rate for a 100% fatal disease. Let’s complain about the cost of this miracle.
Start mucking about with the price of this service and the next thing you know, hospitals are not stocking enough doses or the Pharma Corp has trouble recruiting volunteers to make immunoglobulin. Then you get bit by a rabid dog and go to the ER only to find out they gave their last dose to some kid yesterday and the next ration delivery is weeks away.
Miracles cost money. These people are bickering about a $20k bill when their alternative was to get their papers in order and pick out $10k in funeral arrangements.
