@freemo @lonelyowl @kilroy_was_here did they do enough work or inherited? 1st gen College students and PhDs for examples have a large handicap - despite parents working themselves to the bone to get them there.

@freemo @lonelyowl @kilroy_was_here why is it that only poor people have bad habits are lazy etc?

@kilroy_was_here @freemo ‘means testing’ was a neoliberal invention paraded in the oligarch press as a means to break post WWII social cohesion that resulted from interdependency necessitated by war - so brought back divide and rule. UBI is more efficient and cheaper.

@freemo likely surface charge. Ever made ‘anti bubbles’ Great fun. A thin layer of air around a bubble of the liquid. Super stable too.

@freemo @britishtechguru @auscandoc @auscovid19 @DenisCOVIDinfoguy sure you can. Air filtration in places where people congregate plus masks. Air filtration in primate schools without masks reduces transmission to zero. It is simply a question of reducing concentrations below a threshold. Outdoors = dilution

@auscandoc @britishtechguru @auscovid19 @freemo @DenisCOVIDinfoguy in the Uk we remain at 500-600 covid deaths/ month, long covid though less frequent per infection rate/million has gone up due to increased infectivity. We are at the start when this is admitted we might start doing some rational things

@freemo absolutely- it is on the citizen, too many close their eyes as they step over the body huddled on the pavement and refuse to acknowledge the fact that that person is as much a human as anyone else.

@freemo the veteran makes me double angry. Double over the knowledge that when we invested in people 14 + years ago in the Uk there were a rarity, now 1000s even in middle sized cities.

@freemo a considerable number are veterans with PTSD - accounts for some of the difference. There may also be a difference in the ability of women to help each other when mental health crashes.

@freemo @mike805 @RodneyPetersonTalent the other side of the coin is we know for sure the mother is sentient and her health mental and physical looms large in this equation

@mike805 @freemo @RodneyPetersonTalent depends when a ‘person’ starts to exist. Ironically in the Bible it is at birth
