  1. So maybe they need to be suspended from their jobs, if they are found guilty of the charges against them 🤔 EDIT: It seems that suspension isn't every where same level punishment as it here.
  2. You don't have job when you have been suspended which is why they don't need to pay suspended people their salaries. Also if you are suspended from school you aren't student any more which is why they can deny your access to the campus. Suspension as punishment usually come with time limit and after which you get your status/job back.
  3. Can it be described as attempted murder of police officer if target is suspended from their post because they killed three people in under 5 years, as they aren't currently police officer and may or may not be related to job they had before they were forced to take break because they did such bad job. Headline could as well be "Protesters assault and attempt to murder a murder" and it would be as accurate as current one.
  4. It is not like they haven't tried to make booze illegal. It looks like that anti-weed people are fighting losing fight, as they are minority in many countries but as long as there is not strong demand for legalization, minority is able to stop/hinder legalization for worst cases decades.
  5. Aren't half of world already eligible to vote in French elections, considering how they give citizenship to everybody from their old colonies 😋
  6. Democrats are very much split to different camps when it comes to defund police, universal health care, UBI, etc. issues and Biden is pretty much conservative when it comes to these issues, meaning that he opposes them. But he is political animal, who does not want to alienate big sunk of democratic base by openly opposing those issues. Green new deal, would most likely create jobs in swing states, because green tech new mines for minerals which mining needs higher level technology and therefore would pay and mining companies would prefer to have their expansive mining equipment in safer countries. Green tech demands high quality level manufacturing plants which is one of the segments in which USA is able to compete with China and other cheap labor countries. Government forced green tech would also ensure better profits for companies who make the infrastructure. Moving to green tech would actually hurt more democratic main areas like California and New York, which have have high energy consuming data centers, but also heavy industry plants would face higher running costs, but that doesn't necessary mean that their competitiveness decline as green tech initiatives usually include so called green taxes that targets products and services with high carbon foot print which hurts quite lot products coming from cheap labor countries. So in other words green new deal is different way to do what Trump's government is currently doing, meaning supporting domestic industries and taxing foreign products. Biggest difference is that Trump government's policies give money to industries which currently have difficulties to be profitable and green new deal would give money to companies to innovate something new although it would need to accomplish government's goals.
  7. Seems fine, not anyway worrisome 😷
  8. In a sense yes. Wasn't it major misstep, considering how things went Reasons to say it was mishandling things It lead workers in elderly care centers not use masks, which has caused most of the covid caused deaths in Finland They focused in their decision making to hospital quality masks and it wasn't until end of May when they started to look if home made masks etc. would work to prevent spread. Their inability to explain their decision making early on lead to unnecessary panic about sufficiency of mask storages And why it was not major misstep Our hospitals never actually run out of mask, even though they used about million in day in worst weeks (in normal year our hospitals don't use million mask in a year) Total death toll is quite low 329 (from which bit over half has been in elderly care centers) and it is not certain that mandatory masks would have saved those elderly care centers, as they happened early on and centers had masks in their hospital quality masks in their storages, but their leadership keep them for some reason behind lock even with government recommendations to use masks in any interaction with elders. Infection rate never rose high as people just stayed home, so not using mask never ended to matter
  9. Here government spent close to billion euros to build several mask factories from scratch that will produce about 300 million masks in years, but even with money those factories took several months to be build and get manufacturing robots from China. But currently Finland is in my understanding Europe's largest chirurgical mask producer. Although that may come with quite big price tag in future as one part of deal to get those factories was that all the mask used by our hospitals will be ordered from those factories.
  10. In Finland government didn't make masks mandatory, because then they would have to provide enough masks for everybody, which they at the time weren't able to do, because there was global shortage of quality masks. And now new daily covid infections have dropped to under 10 with other measures government doesn't anymore have emergency powers to mandate masks. So maybe masks mandates were also delayed in other countries because such mandates would have risked hospitals supply lines, which already weren't able to meet demands of hospital staffs because of mentioned global shortage of masks.
  11. Isn't AOC Puerto Rican descent, meaning that I don't think that her family tree has any immigrants (to USA)
  12. Only ones that I found with retail price $300+ are Solo Pro and Beats Studio3 Wireless, but you can find even those $80-$100 cheaper if you don't buy them directly from Beats web store.
  13. I think you can see failure in her logic from point where she believes that some one is paying $300 for Beats headphones
  14. I would like to know why any number over zero should be acceptable when it comes to police committing wrongful killings.
  15. Seem like good way to tell people that ending restrictions don't pose risk for them
  16. That is giving too much merit for people living 2020, considering that not only some people have always found cartoons characters offensive, but that cartoons have used as propaganda tools probably from invention of drawing and rulers have destroyed them and tried to prevent cartoonist to drawing them.
  17. I can understand that there maybe reason to check police's budgets in cities like Los Angeles, where their budget is over 50% of city's budget and size of their budget is on same level or higher than military budget of some Nato countries with population two or three times larger. LA's police departments budget is about three times higher than budget of all police departments in Finland.
  18. I start to understand why republicans say that there is wide spread voting fraud in USA 😋
  19. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/05/hydroxychloroquine-does-not-cure-covid-19-say-drug-trial-chiefs Hydroxychloroquine just doesn't get breaks, as soon as there seem to be little hope, comes another crushing blow
  20. https://www.spartanchemical.com/sds/downloads/AGHS/EN/1202.pdf GHS Classification Acute Toxicity - Oral: Category 4 Acute toxicity - Inhalation (Dusts/Mists) Category 4 Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Category 1 Sub-category B Serious Eye Damage/Eye Irritation: Category 1 Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area Wear protective gloves. Wear eye / face protection. Wear protective clothing. -Skin IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water or shower. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse Seems safe to me 😋
  21. Bit ironic considering how much he says that such action is voter fraud
  22. "you have to dominate"
  23. "Only" ~7000€/month after taxes
  24. Obscure Job titles are good Like for example I call myself coder, but my job title is senior software architect, I still mainly code but my monthly salary is 10k € higher than those whose job title is coder 💸 EDIT: I mean which sound that they earn more money maid or senior domestic maintenance officer 😃
