While I subscribe to that same kind of thinking, others will not. They will see it as being forced to share the rewards of their hard work with others who, in their opinion, didn't work as hard. Put another way, they see themselves as having taken on the responsibility of caring and providing for themselves, and policies like that would force them to also care for someone else who isn't meeting that responsibility.

It's a simple take, but not completely wrong. There will be people who will take advantage of others generosity, shirking the responsibility to care and provide for themselves, and keep demanding more. And there's also the reality of government waste and corruption siphoning that "hard work" away.

It ignores the many realities out there, like how not everyone gets the same starting point in life and not everyone has the same abilities. But its simplicity is its strength. It explains things in a way that is easy to understand. I worked hard, they didn't. I didn't get handouts when I was struggling, so why should they.

This is why I think the way to convince these people to do the right thing is to reward those who do vaccinate with a tax credit or payout. It makes it fair across the board, and makes those who still choose not to vaccinate understand the cost of that choice. Or at least see that there is a cost to the choice.

A study, that could give a hard number of the average cost per patient, broken down by vaccinated and unvaccinated, could go a long way to proving the point. The recent measles outbreak would be a great place to start.

I wonder if the numbers could back that up? Like the cost of treatment of an unvaccinated child getting a preventable disease, versus a vaccinated child getting the same disease? Also, the number of children in each group? No vaccine is 100% after all.

There could be an actual cost to the healthcare system for choosing to not vaccinate. If that's the case, creating an incentive like a tax credit for vaccinating could be an effective way of reducing cost overall.

I'd like to see someone study this, if they haven't already.

Yes

So the investigation, with built in blinders and no ability to actually investigate or force the truth to come out, found nothing.

Looks like the system is working as designed. Designed to keep the public in the dark, and the money flowing.

There aren't a lot of details for me to base this on so I'm speculating here, but it sounds like you two are already in a relationship of sorts. One that is more than friendship but less than a romantic one.

It sounds like you two share a lot with each other, talk a lot and spend a lot of time together. This would create an intimacy that wouldn't exist in a typical friendship, because it's usually what people in a romantic relationship do. And if neither of you have partners, you would lean on each other for that emotional support.

Now, as for taking the next step, you should tread slowly and carefully. I suggest you continue to support your friend as a friend, and let her come to terms with her feelings and her fears. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is continue to be around her and be her friend. There's nothing else that will really tip the scales, and anything else you try could tilt them against you.

Your friend is afraid of ruining the relationship she already has with you, because she values it and values you. Only patience and time will let her understand that fear and decide if it's worth the risk.

That's quite a click-baity title.

Drumpf and his tariffs are fucking up production, distribution and supply chains should be the actual title.

I wish they had kept everything here in Canada, or just stopped shipping to the US, but that's just not realistic. I think we will see more companies doing this unless there's a new trade deal soon. And if Drumpf starts fucking with CUSMA next year, it could start all over again.

I hate that I laughed at this.

Carry on, shitposters.

This one was a nice challenge!

You should check out a book called The Flavor Bible.

If you think about recipes as programs written by other people, it should begin to make sense why it's hard for you to parse. The "code" is laid out differently than you would have done.

You could spend the time to rewrite it into something that's easier for you to read... or you could simply write the recipe yourself.

This book can help you do that by telling you what flavours work well together and how to get the best out of them.

ROCK AND STONE!

Why are you trying to bypass a security feature of your bank? Because that's obviously what this is, so that nothing shady can happen in the background without your knowledge. This post seems pretty suspicious to me.

Maybe your interests are completely innocent, but this kind of bypass can and likely has been used nefariously.
