i think i've said this before like, over a year ago, but you are probably significantly safer wearing somebody else's discarded mask off the ground than wearing no mask at all.
yes, it feels gross, but that feeling is probably irrational. humans are not good at evaluating risk.

Just watched a teenager at a bus stop realize he didn’t have a mask on him, pick one up off the ground, and put it on to board the bus.

If you found out today that you got Covid, and someone offered you a guaranteed-authentic course of Pavloxid under the table you'd take it right? I sure would.

Imagine reply-guying the California Department of Housing and Community Development after they come at you for violating state housing laws 🤦♂️
Dean Preston @DeanPreston
@California_HCD Your stated mission: “HCD helps to provide stable, safe homes affordable to veterans, seniors, young families, farm workers, people with disabilities, and individuals and families experiencing homelessness.” Grandstanding for housing for millionaires isn’t in there. 🤦♂️

Disintermediation is always always always a myth. It only means replacing a previous intermediary with another, supposedly more deserving one. This is the way.

There are all these small, parent-hostile aspects of how schools work — no school the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, no aftercare the Tuesday before Thanksgiving — that were invisible to me before I had a kid.

Much of what rich countries will do with higher GDP is just to rewild much of the world we despoiled during our early years of growth.

Oh and btw, this is one more reason degrowth is stupid.
Make people in rich countries poorer, and they'll just be more desperate for material gain, even at the expense of the environment.
When people get rich, they prefer a better environment.

"These swing voters didn’t agree with what they thought the liberal position on race in schools was. However, it wasn’t as salient as the fact that they felt Democrats closed their schools and didn’t feel bad about it."

And to be clear, I'm not arguing that all COVID policy should be poll-tested. But Dems can't pretend COVID policy doesn't have political consequences, and there'll be a lot of on-the-margin decisions they need to make about masking and school ordinances in the coming year...
