What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright:
"I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you."
This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.

Such actions fundamentally betray American values. Terrorizing communities to push political beliefs and agendas is, by definition, terrorism. Share if you agree.

Remember: They Are Not His Generals.
Tomorrowβs gathering of hundreds of general and flag officers has an ominous tone about it. Attendees should go in prepared.
"The point will be to force the generals to applaud such statements, to broadcast that applauseβand thereby to signal to all their troops, and to the American public, that this is Donald Trumpβs military.
It would be good not to send that message."

I Don't Know Anyone With Long Covid
Yes. You do. It might even be you. Let's take a look at why people don't realize, or can't admit, that they're dealing with Long Covid.
βBut I donβt know anyone with Long Covid!β
Yes. You do.
Many people are either in denial about being sick or feel pressured to hide their diagnosis.
Thereβs a lot of stigma attached to Long Covid because everyone wants to go βback to normalβ
Denial doesnβt help, we must face the problem:

Telehealth is an essential accommodation for people with disabilities.
Going to an appointment can set back our baseline for days, not to mention the risk of getting COVID or another hospital acquired infection.

And so we choose to do battle against the forces of darkness,
#ghting back against a malevolent movement that represents all that
is bad in the worldβ fascism, authoritarianism, racism, misogyny,
and bigotryβ a movement that uses antiscienti#c disinformation as
its preferred weapon. We do this not because our success is guaranteed.
Given the forces mobilized against us, we are clearly the underdog.
And no white wizard will come to our rescue. But we have truth
and justice on our side. And the stakes simply couldnβt be greater. We
#ght for a livable planet, for us, our children, and future generations.
Because itβs worth #ghting for.8

When you get a vaccine or a medical checkup, we expect the healthcare worker to wash their hands and wear gloves.
We should think the same about wearing masks in medical settings. Viruses can spread pre-symptomatically; masks are another effective infection control measure.
