Unreadable paywall?

Seems like a stock slightly blurred image of a wall or bookshelf would be best option
The problem I have with the stock backgrounds is they impart a non-professional feel to the meeting....do i really want to show I’m mentally ‘sitting on the beach’ or ‘out in space’ while talking about who gets downsized?
Something thats flown under the radar of this is the new “Families First Coronavirus Response Act” which provides 12 weeks of “paid leave for those affected by Covid 19”.
Most (90%) companies will be bankrupt by week 3 or 4, therefore most are now contemplating just declaring bankruptcy now to avoid any further bleed.
It’s easy to write laws such as this, but where does the money for this 12-weeks come from?
* wearing mask does nothing
and...
* workers desperately need mask
this is the problem when you lie to your audience to achieve some end. Your message not only gets disregarded but you don't actually achieve what you were trying to achieve with your lie in the first place.
We are all lucky to have Tedros as our one-world doctor.
For a couple of weeks, fine. However on the other end of this spectrum is "Millions starve".
At some point we need to ask is that fair to the youth? (note: I'm an old fart)
Agreed. But this is where "I'll pay an extra $200 to not have to worry about that" comes into the equation
While this is true, its important to understand that "all value is subjective" the concept of "inherent value" is a fallacy that distorts ones worldview.
A glass of water has a different value at the oasis vs the dessert.
Or do modern clown-world inhabitants think this is great?
Related, if we take the numbers out of China at face value: A tiny tiny fraction of the population has been infected (acquired immunity). So what now? Lock everything down until a vaccine is discovered?
* hedonic adjustments
* variable basket of goods
* structurally created to understate inflation to save gov money on entitlement payments
Thats a 2020 equivalent to $300 per day and there was no income tax.
This is whats been stolen from you.
NOTE: I am not anti-vaccine. This is intended as a nuanced point
Imagine a WWII style "war bonds" effort, but instead to build and distribute say 5M ventilators over the next 6 weeks.
In addition to this, we must re-purpose closed schools (gyms, cafeterias, etc) into make-shift CoVid19 triage centers where affected patients can be put on cots with saline drip, drugs, and ventilation. This is doable, but we need to do it.
At the time I was managing a dBase / FoxPro medical software package...we were a small staff who had to come up with Y2K mitigation on our own.
Our problem is we only had source code for "our" part of the chain...other data was being fed into the system from external systems where we had no vendor support.
Thus our only conceivable plan was to do the old:
If $year<10;
date="20$year"
else
date="19$year"
The current only option for me is Thinkpad, but I truly wish others would jump into that space.
Germany has 700 cases and 0 deaths. Austria has 80 cases and 0 deaths...both of these countries are adjacent to Northern Italy region, in which 233+ have died.
Saying "no theory needed" frankly raises more questions than provides answers.
Regarding the outbreak in Northern Italy...the fatality rate seems much much higher than South Korea or Germany. Do you have any theories on why the fatalities are so much worse?

* Has lifetime warranty * Should easily survive your use and be capable of being passed down to kids, etc.
Basically the selling point is: "buy this pot one time, for life".
You should also consider that you are not viewing reality correctly.
I understand spam is a problem, but its such step backwards from just subscribing to alt.whatever.
The glory days when NNTP was built-in to most email clients, so mornings were spent with a cup of coffee answering emails and keeping up with project conversations.
The future of our world looks to be hyper-siloed with incessant privacy leaking and no one actually seems to mind.
