    This is great news, but Pfizer’s estimates for how many courses they’re going to be able to produce (10 million for the USA, 70 million for the rest of the world) next year are much too low to save us — would love to hear policy ideas for getting us to higher numbers.

    If you are bothered by the idea of people’s health insurance being subject to the whims of profit-maximizing employers, I think you might want to look into some leftist ideas about how this should be reorganized.

    I don’t think you can attribute Kroger’s compensation policies to leftists

    Very interesting model here for how to handle obesity and health insurance as well: fines for people over a certain BMI and don't cover anything related to heart health. (Amazing that this is being pioneered as a leftist thing)

    Obviously, the Paxlovid news is great. But I'm surprised that the approval bottleneck is getting so much more attention than the manufacturing bottleneck. Pfizer says they'll only be able to manufacture 80M courses in 2022 which is... not nearly enough.

    More and more people are talking about how the price of gasoline started falling pretty steadily after the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed on November 15.

    It's not particularly something to write home about, but Biden's net approval has bounced from a low of -9.5 on November 22 to a net of -7.4 today. Anyway sharing this chart for no reason whatsoever

    Here's one from a different era of politics, then-senator Barack Obama pushing an earmark (remember those?) for a project to manufacture liquid fuels out of coal. Manchin-esque or to Manchin's right?

    This is so messed up! Rich countries hoard until vaccines are about to expire & then generously 'donate' them "A major problem for COVAX had been wealthy countries donating vaccines with a relatively short shelf life"

    During the Great Depression the unemployment rate in America was 25%, but for Black Americans it was 50%. In some places Black unemployment was as high as 70%. Whenever there are economics crises, Black Americans are disproportionately impacted. We break it down in this episode.

    0:40
    Marginalized communities are disproportionally impacted by economic crises. And no historical moment better reveals that than the Great Depression. In this episode of CC Black American History, we'll focus on how the depression impacted Black Americans.

    Jack McCoy as the CIA Director fucking with his orchids while issuing not-so-veiled threats to have Nixon murdered unless he creates the infamous 18-minute gap on the tape and takes the fall on Watergate — that’s cinema.
