@aander1987 Zoster is miserable. Yes to the vaccine. 💯

Who is paying for this particular *humans are so pesky* campaign? I feel a solution coming. Robot servers. No tip is required. This should be a non-issue, and yet it's everywhere. I'll just keep tipping my human servers appropriately, thank you.

I'm not sure we can say this yet. It has benefits. Overusing it doesn't. That's for sure.

They’re going to have a rude awakening. Less than 20% of European homes have AC (compared to 88% in America) and in Italy fines for “illegal” AC can reach €43,000. Only 30 percent of European homes have clothes dryers (compared 85% in the U.S.). In Western Europe the cost of energy is 2 to 2.5x that in America. Per capita income America is 40–50% more than in Western Europe. Outside the inner cities of major capitals Europe is dirt poor.


Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) questioned Casey Means, President Trump's second nominee for surgeon general, over vaccines at her confirmation hearing on Wednesday.

In nearly all of the European Union’s 27 member states, the number of Americans arriving to live and work is at a record and rising. Even Albania is now flooded with American migrants. A Gallup poll last year found 40% of American women, ages 15-44, would like to permanently move overseas, if possible. By comparison, in 2023, the same pollster found that a slightly smaller proportion of sub-Saharan Africans—37%—wished to do the same. Strikingly, the new American migrant is more likely than ever to bring children in tow, laying down roots. “You don’t face the prospect of your 5-year-old going into a kindergarten and doing an active shooter drill. The wages are higher in the U.S. but the quality of life is higher in Europe.” Thought-provoking piece in @wsj by @drewhinshaw and @JoeWSJ wsj.com/us-news/americ…
