GaryTang··on How War with China Begins
Ad hominem attacks are always a great approach to discussions. /s
GaryTang··on Why Do Rich People Love Endurance Sports?
And I guess all the people that prove otherwise are just “outliers” right? There is a non-zero amount of people without privilege that contribute their success to psychological factors whether you like it or not.
GaryTang··on Is Genetics “Dark”?
Your personal experience is odd to me because I have almost always found the opposite — leftists I know are comfortable with discrimination and in fact promote it.

Furthermore, it’s easy to see for yourself by going to a predominately Democrat city and then a Republican one — Generally, the Democrat city will be highly segregated by area and the Republican one will be highly integrated.

GaryTang··on US Government to pay reparations of $450k per person to illegal immigrants
The Democrats’ platform for immigrants is actually more alarming than I previously thought — I drove through FL this past week and was surprised to find a local Walmart that I have stopped by in the past was packed(everyone was in arm’s reach of each other) with migrants flown in from the border. I imagine this is their response to a Republican Florida.
GaryTang··on Taiwan's President says the threat from China is increasing 'every day'
Odd to see CNN and Democrats change their focus from Russia to China.

Negative ions — There are various studies that show their impact on physiological and psychological health.

It’s true — Nothing makes me want to find a new job more than workplace interruptions.

To cover negative externalities using taxes unrelated to that negative externality makes zero sense to me.
GaryTang··on The Chinese Companies Polluting the World More Than Entire Nations
It’s good to know we are bringing more attention to the largest contributers of carbon emissions.
GaryTang··on US productivity growth is negative and economists aren’t sure why
> Ans #2: Rentier capitalism saddles productive parts of the economy with onerous rents.

Do you mean housing?

Which “fascist totalitarian technology” is he ok with? How is it fascist or totalitarian?
GaryTang··on 130,600 PG&E customers without power as storm drenches Bay Area
Since no one else seems to be asking, why is the infrastructure so bad in SF?
GaryTang··on States that cutoff of jobless aid see no surge of job seekers
Only a matter of time or wage increases
GaryTang··on Lithuanian Covid Pass
Many Germans went along with Hitler’s policies, convinced that they would ultimately be advantageous for the country. Reasonable public health measures don’t require censorship of public discourse.

GaryTang··on Flexport CEO on how to fix the US supply chain crisis
> He’s not allowed by the city of Long Beach zoning code to store empty containers more than 2 high in his truck yard. If he violates this code they’ll shut down his yard altogether.

Anyone here surprised? The little things add up, multiply this code by the hundreds of others and you have a supply shortage.

The SPAC is up almost 1000% in less than 48 hours. I suspect the courts & media will find some way to tear it down.

GaryTang··on Chicago grapples with police vaccine revolt
Wasn’t Chicago screaming to defund the police last year anyway? Seattle fired those that wouldn’t comply. I expect Chicago will follow suit.
GaryTang··on NIH corrects untruthful assertions about funding gain-of-function research
So does this suggest that not only was the virus created in a Wuhan Lab, it was also signed off by Fauci?
GaryTang··on California ports among world’s least efficient, ranking shows
Why doesn’t anyone build a competing port? Is it just too expensive for someone to build? Or are there actual laws prohibiting the creation of another port?
GaryTang··on Hospital discharged seriously ill man, left him on the street
The problem is we don’t let the market fix it. Instead we continue to pile on regulations that decentivize competition for better health outcomes. Blame the socialist democrats and conservatives that continue to strengthen the monopolies on healthcare because there’s no question about it, too much regulation is the culprit
