My point is this: If you have to be effective working remotely you will be effective working remotely.
They are worried the surge in India will delay shipments to the EU. The EU wants cheaper vaccines! That's why they took so long to negotiate the contracts. They thought a vaccine wouldn't be produced in record time and because of that they felt they had a lot of time to negotiate.

New Zealand and Australia likely won't open until 2023 because vaccination campaigns are slow and public health authorities are afraid of variants.

I've been reading a lot about how NZ's health system is overwhelmed too.
I am allowed to criticize other nations just as you have criticized the US. Debate is allowed here.
You're quite rude and unpleasant yourself.
You're not sure what I want? I've clearly spelled it out.
Also, I said "regardless of suicide statistics." Did you miss that part?
Probably somewhere in here.
I've heard this mentioned a lot but how often does it happen and how much of a risk is it? Employees developing IP in personal time doesn't seem like it would be that common.
There are technology gaps like Optimism that are funded by VC's. This is a promotional gap funded by... who knows? But it's likely a fund.
Store of value is a meme invented by influencers on Twitter. They did a damn good job too.
