OK so if it's not the employees, I'd like to know, in the universe of this quote, what people or entities are promoting a union and creating this "risk" of uninionization? Out of this whole story this is the most disingenuous bit that annoys me the most. If the majority of employees were against the union, they would stop it themselves without company help, wouldn't they? Still, it's very generous of them to look out for employee interests like that, large eyeroll.
Not just rural. In downtown Seattle, there's nearby stations I can't get at all. KIRO 7 (CBS affiliate) reception is unwatchably bad maybe half the time. Maybe it's the hills? I don't remember analog being this bad. I can pick up analog radio stations all the way from Vancouver.

Important to point out that about 155k people die in NY every year. About 1% of Americans die each year, so there is a crucial distinction between dying with a disease, and dying of a disease.

Risk is not additive. The median age for covid deaths is well into the late 70s, which means that there is a high risk of death in the same period anyway would the person not have been infected with covid.

The overall mortality numbers will be up, but throwing that stat out there is hugely misleading.

This is a good question. The fact that people are not buying the May future at -$37/bbl and selling the June contract at $20/bbl tells you that Cushing storage must effectively be full and that the theoretical storage figures quoted in research are not practically usable (at least at short notice). It's very hard to imagine any practical means of storage that isn't wildly profitable to utilize for $57/bbl/month.
Yes, every employer provides their employees perks as a means to get a leg up on the competition. That's precisely one of the main point of perks (the other point being to remove sources of stress from employees' lives so they are more productive). I don't see what's scummy about this.
Well, that is an intuitive way of looking at things, but ANY signal carrying information has non-zero bandwidth. Even an AM (amplitude modulation) signal occupies a band of frequencies.
Mediumwave AM broadcast uses the center frequency as the channel identifier, same as FM.

Ex post facto. We can't know that until after the discussion has happened--ergo, avoiding editorialization allows community interest to happen more naturally.
Right but it's also a race to the bottom. You don't know if the company has another candidate in their cards that will accept a 50% reduction to a SF engineer. With remote work you have a lot more competition.
As of today, 10,344 confirmed deaths [0] from COVID-19, of a population of 8.4m [1] is 0.12% [2].

They basically show that public desire over a given law has almost no impact on the probability of that issue being passed, and inversely public dissent on a given law has almost not impact on the probability of that law failing to pass.

>it sounds like you're claiming that citizens of democracies have no more political voice than those of authoritarian countries like the PRC or North Korea, which is obviously false.

Is it obviously false? The current situation shows that democratic governments are more than capable of exerting Authoritarian control over society, sure you will argue that it is a "good reason" right now due to pandemic, but the fact this control is even possible shows where the power is, and how little freedom people really have. If people in a democracy were really free what control we see today would not even be possible. It is but with the grace and consent of the government do people have freedom. That is inverse of how it is suppose to be, where by the government is formed on the consent of the governed.

When we have teenagers in Wisconsin being threaten with arrest for disorderly conduct for an Instagram post I think we can safely say we have transitioned into an Authoritarian form of governance, that is just one of 1000's of examples I can cite

I've found that when you are cornering on a motorcycle, you look to where you want to go, and the bike follows. If you try to think too much about where to place the motorcycle in the lane as you go, you end up looking at the edges of the lane. Inevitably the bike follows to the edge of the lane, which is not where you wanted to go, and can put you in a bad situation.

I can't explain why it works, but if I look down the road and around the corner as far as I can, the bike will follow the proper path. I don't even feel like I'm giving the steering any inputs. It's very strange.

They kept teaching this over and over in our safety class, but in the safety class, you aren't riding fast enough to notice. (mostly in a parking lot). When you are riding very slowly, the motorcycle tends to act more like a bicycle. But above like 20mph, the steering behavior changes. This I also don't really understand.

It's kind of the exact opposite of pointing, speaking and being deliberate.

The last two PCs I built were smaller units, based on some older Coding Horror posts. The thing I've found is that even though the parts have gotten smaller, the cables haven't - they're just as long and thick as they've always been, which makes layout a lot harder. And the configuration is less convenient - the power supply covers 3/4 of the motherboard, so you have to remove it to do any useful work.

Imagine my business is feeding wood into chipping machines, and I train every employee in how to apply a tourniquet if they chop their own hand off.

For an employer with a great safety record, that would be slightly unusual, but safety training covers the unlikely all the time. Nothing wrong with that!

On the other hand if three of the hundred guys I employ have lost a hand, the same training takes on a completely different tone: It would evince an acceptance the same accidents will happen again, and an unwillingness to improve safety.

Ah the old 'Not my problem' argument. A couple issues with this -- companies actively campaign against legislature which increases wages, so it's not that they are just ignoring the welfare of their workers they actively push against it.

And why is it not the hiring manager's job to ensure the welfare of their workers? What makes that axiomatic to you? That seems like a social construct that we've (maybe) generally settled on, but nothing says that's necessarily the way it has to be.

I think the aftermath of coronavirus is really going to be larger that most people are anticipating when it comes to work and migration patterns:

1. In the past 25 years there has been a huge re-migration back to cores of major cities. I think that is going to stop.

2. Suburbs and exurbs I think will become way more popular. The normal limiting factor on those locations is the commute, but I think so many more companies will be used to remote work after this (even if they don't necessarily prefer it) that you'll see a lot more "come into the office once or twice a week" type things that make living in the exurbs a lot more bearable.

3. I don't foresee migration away from the major metros. People will still go where the jobs are, and if anything I see the pandemic making strong companies stronger and smaller, weaker companies weaker. Definitely would not be willing to put a lot of money down on this 3rd point, though, could see a trend toward 2nd/3rd tier cities.

time is information, so closing out an option (like a short or a futures contract) prematurely tends to eat value on average.

however, in this case, the new information was so material and overwhelmingly bad, that you're probably correct that most should have closed out early and taken a smaller loss.

You're selling the June contract right now. There will be nothing to unload. Whoever is holding your June contract when it expires will be the one left holding the bag (well, the barrels). That's the whole point of futures.

The problem is that you have to store the oil for a month which is pretty expensive right now.
