It seems like the authorities in the US tried to downplay, even discourage, using mask if you're asymptomatic to prevent people from stocking up and depriving medical professionals of them.
Surge pricing in itself affects people differently across income levels. If the end goal is to have availability to sanitation supplies across the population to prevent the spread, then surge pricing is not the answer.
Most of their stories also involve having parents and family able to plop down tens of thousands of dollars in initial investment, and being able to provide for their family while not making an income
Do you have any specific reasons to cite for this belief? It sounds like a minority of the population find certain facts inconvenient when they conflict with their world view. This doesn't mean that the way news is being reported is changing, unless you prefer "alternate facts".
There are other externalities to this. Tax incentives are better if you can buy vs rent, which is harder in high COL. Also from personal experience, you get to live in more vibrant and diverse neighborhoods as opposed to more homogenous ones that price out others. If you have children that go into non-lucrative fields (ex: teaching), they will not be able to live by you without your financial support.
Electronics, if weatherproofed properly, will last a very long time. They don't have any wear and tear like mechanical parts so I'm not sure what would degrade other than the battery or misc connectors.
I worked with a large company that was one of IBM's 'partners' for watson. They mostly used the partnership for the free publicity, but complained about how terrible all of the disparate watson services were. In the end they ended up replacing most of the services with google ones, but maintained the public partnership.
That's a pretty conservative view on relationships. There is a whole spectrum of commitment that doesn't involve getting imaginary figures or the government involved.
I've grown up in cities, dense suburbs and typical suburbs. As a kid I loved the city and dense suburb way more. It's great to be able to walk or bike to school/friends places or the park and have independence as a kid. In the suburbs it's crippling not being able to go anywhere without having your parents drive you.
I don't know what the percentage is but from personal experience there were a lot of South asian immigrants in chicago that drove and saved up to buy medallions.
Nitrogenating definitely changes the taste--it flattens it out a bit, and it for sure does dissolve into the coffee. The wine systems probably use a low pressure so that they don't dissolve as much.
I do this as well, it's so hard to find good lightly-roasted beans in most places outside of big cities. (Even big cities in europe and asia seem to prefer a very dark roast everywhere)
How do questions of race and ethnicity come up in an interview? It's illegal to ask that and they can be sued so usually they're very careful to not touch the subject.
I really want to like Portland because it is so cheap and seems to have good access to outdoor activities. Unfortunately I can't get past the weather, and the stark lack of diversity.
