I didn't get a change in pay. For my job, it was business as usual. I didn't have to drive into the office a ton. It was usually for operational emergencies (i.e. a network goes down).

In my neck of the woods, TONS of checks were sent out. People were being paid, on average, more than what they made if they were working. Grocery store workers and a few other types of workers (fast food I think) got a buck or two more per hour for a while.

Pandemic is f*cking over. You still need a daily your daily dose of contrarian bullsh*t to make your tiny pea brain feel important though so you're still talking about it. You have nothing else of substance to contribute to society so you stay angry at liberals and woke millenials to stay relevant and included in something. Meanwhile, actual compassionate humsn beings have left you behind and are now staring back at the million people who died of a novel virus out of nowhere with grief and there you are...telling them they're basically sheep.

You're f*cking scum dude. Nothing but a miserable nothing eho can't contribute anything meanwhile so you oppose everything showing progress.

I know your kind. Pathetic.

I never thought I'd see this headline. Apparently, some Canadians are seeking asylum in the US in order to escape persecution from covid policy.

Here is another covid related headline called Virtue Science. It's a good read. The author makes some solid points.

Since the author also apparently wrote a book about how global warming isn't real I'm just going to give his name to the FBI and move on.

I thought they were interesting stories, with some good points. Read into them what you will.

I'm not "reading [anything] into them." I'm just reading them as they're presented.
If, for instance, someone uses the word "parsec" as meaning a unit of time
(like I've heard was the case in Star Wars), I'm not "reading [anything] into"
it if I counter that it's wrong.
