Universities are scams at this point. For profit degree mills run by communists. May you fly in an airplane designed by a graduate of Halakawakalalei High. May you pilot a plane that was designed by someone who got an engineering degree after the queer studies department eliminates STEM because the...

And in Florida cases are up but hospitalizations are apparently down.

So a doctor friend of mine here in NYC said this morning that only 15 new cases have been linked to the protests. That doesn’t necessarily mean there aren’t more; it depends on how well they’re doing with contact tracing. And he said it could take another week to see. Scott Gottlieb on CNBC last nig...

What Fat Cat said. Probably right out of the Antifa Playbook.

A friend who lives near Barclays Center had to cross the street last night mixed in with protesters. He said it was a “wall of white people.”

Honest question, and board politics aside, how close do you guys think this is to a full blown battle between Trump's supporters that he's supposedly "hinted" at using their second amendment rights to help fight back the hordes and BLM/Antifa/Militant Left? I could see a few far right mil...

In the long run, this will lead to more deaths of young black men at one another’s hands. Police will be less likely to do their job, for fear of being charged with crimes and having their lives ruined. More hard working people will realize their parents were right to flee the cities in the 60s and ...

FYI, I think qualified immunity needs to go. Police and politicians can do whatever they want and the taxpayers pay, never them. It is much too strong a protection. They'd tread more carefully if they had more personal risk. The risk if that is you get more cautious police, possibly to the extreme ...

I believe the social policies worked as intended. The welfare rules destroyed families, housing projects were crime factories, busing created a lot of dropouts. The negative effects of these policies were the point of them in the first place. The liberal elite wanted black Americans to be a permane...

I don't understand Antifa's overall objectives. They’re anarchists, aren’t they? In 1901 they killed President McKinley, so not a new thing. Anarchists, communists, socialist-libertarians, marxists; it’s a bit of a grab bag. They seem to distinguish themselves from black-bloc, but that seems about ...

Look, I hate both parties and always have, but if you actually think the death count is a function of the GOP at the federal level... What??? I've been thinking about the great & horrible events in the US: Civil War, Great Depression, WW2, 911 & etc. They always seem to include cockups of o...

Re-elect Trump, maybe.
Anybody else, no chance.

Uh oh bros. On April 2, 2020 the University of Pittsburgh made the following announcement: University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists today announced a potential vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic. When tested in mice, the vaccine, delivered th...

Looks like it was already in France in late December.

I promised myself I would get a lot of work done on my ISSA nutrition coach certification. I’ve gotten only a little done so far. But I have at least a month to go before we start normalizing here.

I bet we are under-counting significantly. Comparison to historical records, which are consistent from year to year, will give us the data. https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1255452784696143872 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWxDHMgWoAwZdZw?format=png&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWxDHk...

I can’t imagine how hard it must be to stay at home if you live in a part of the country where the weather is nice and you didn’t get hit hard by the virus. The weather in NYC will be beautiful for the next few days, and I can guarantee there will be no social distancing. We are probably facing anot...

Antibody testing is starting to become available. But they are prioritizing first responders and hospital workers. FWIW they've done some randomized tests in NYC and found unsurprisingly a sig % of ppl had been infected without symptoms. Pretty sure my wife is one of those. In this apartment, there...

Amen, brother.

Ridership is down to about 270,000 per day. They reduced service, so the trains are still crowded. And overtaken by homeless, and filthier than ever. Time is way up. I’m now unemployed, so no trains for me. The person I was most worried is a 70 year old uncle who had triple bypass last summer, still...
