Huh. They were advertising for the ā€œbrightest forward-thinking individualsā€, but it turns out that they were looking for wealthy people instead.

I remember reading about cases during the Spanish flu pandemic that were frighteningly similar to the current Ecuadorian situation.

To all those thinking that we ā€œmight as well let idiots be idiotsā€ ā€“ itā€™s not only the idiots that suffer. Every motherfucker going to places they donā€™t need to and also refusing to isolate afterwards is potentially killing people who maybe didnā€™t get a choice of whether to interact.

Better watch out. If you hurt his feelings, heā€™ll sue you.

Iā€™m not even sure it shows what itā€™s purporting to show, some of the worst areas in the bottom map did stop driving more than 2 miles. Itā€™s superficially similar, but look at West Virginia!

how i hate those phrases.

we valued his holdings? his wealth? his earning power? you donā€™t value people by their money.

well, okay. except maybe for this manifestly unfit, impeached, popular vote losing president(*), and his value is pretty close to zero regardless.

I think itā€™s somewhat questionable to list someoneā€™s holdings based primarily on a promised future payout from Vladimir Putin.

I did not read the article, but Iā€™ll bet that they have no way of knowing how leveraged all his holdings actually are. He could seriously be in the red (yet again!) at this point.

For at least one day out of the past five years, Trump has significant competition for Worst Person in the World:

Oh, Elon (Atrios)

Elon got a lot of press for promising to build ventilators, then he got a lot of press for promising to provide them (but not necessarily build them), then he got a lot of press for delivering some ā€œventilatorsā€ which areā€¦ not. Theyā€™re BIPAP machines generally for home use to treat sleep apnea and while they can be used to aid people with respiratory distress generally, they are not the type of ventilators hospitals have a shortage of (you could have one delivered tomorrow to your home for a grand or less), and certainly no substitute for those ventilators which there is a desperate shortage of, and even in normal times cost a hell of a lot more than a grand.

Keep trying to tell people heā€™s a con manā€¦
