Seems like they may not have realized that the fact that antibiotic use was associated with hive death could be because antibiotics are likely given primarily to unhealthy hives.

If only there were some method for allocating scarce resources (such as water), by which everyone could indicate their perception of the relative value and some sort of equilibrium could be found.

Comical to suggest that AirBnB "ruined communities" or "destroyed the dream of home ownership" as if decades of federal, state, and local government policy had not already guaranteed those outcomes.

Not just money, that's liquidating all of their assets at current market prices.

Additional wealth has diminishing marginal returns, obviously.

They should probably just stop shaking down the American tech firms that are driving US economic growth.

Corporations always raise prices when they can. The question is why they are able to raise prices now to levels they couldn't before, and as always the answer is a mix of government-created moats and monetary inflation.

I've considered eating algae as an alternative source of DHA with less risk of microplastic contamination, but I've had a hard time finding definitive evidence of what types of algae contain significant levels of DHA.

What sorts of blog posts led to those progressions? Or was there no common theme?
