Yeah I keep hearing weird **** about Niger, like that the helicopter that got them out of there was not a US military helicopter but instead a contractor who forgot to do a head count? I'm sure there's much still to come out.

A study by researchers at Harvard and Yale, released in 2015, found no evidence that the timing of when savings accounts are taxed affects how much Americans save.
Most and somehow least surprising thing I learned from that article.

Some HR departments started an opt-out 401k rather than opt-in, and i thought they had data to show that increased saving rates, but I don't remember a concrete study. Of course, sometimes it's also a way to prop up company stock price through employee benefits.

"What are we legally able to do?" Dr. Betty Price, a Republican, asked Dr. Pascale Wortley, director of the HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Surveillance Section at the Georgia Department of Public Health. "I don't want to say the 'quarantine' word, but I guess I just said it. ... What would you advise, or are there any methods, legally, that we could do that would curtail the spread?"

Price, whose husband, Dr. Tom Price, resigned last month from President Donald Trump's Cabinet, raised the issue during a committee meeting.

"It just seems to me it's almost frightening the number of people who are living that are potentially carriers -- well, they are carriers -- but, potential to spread," Betty Price said. "Whereas, in the past, they died more readily, and then at that point, they are not posing a risk. So, we've got a huge population posing a risk if they're not in treatment."
It's like she saw Escape From L.A. and thought the President in the movie was the good guy but instead of quarantining they executed them in the movie...either way it's still a death sentence.

Anyone got actual data on how many unsuspecting people get infected with HIV each year by people who know they're HIV positive?

...probably would never be able to get any true data on that but that's not really the point. It's the idea that this C*** with her archaic way of thinking not only exists irl but hold positions of power. Her husband didn't gaf when he was talking this **** in [B]cabinet[B]meetings and spending millions of our money flying first class around the country why shouldn't she be any different. The worst part is that she is actually a DOCTOR FFS...forget the Hippocratic Oath more like a ****ing hypocrite.


...but at least there is some hope...




...I know he's part of the .001% too but we need **** like this to be said every day on every T.V. platform, radio, social media platform, stream, in people's face until they get sick of it the way I get sick of seeing the orange 45 tweet the garbage that he does from his under developed, sick, twisted, ****storm of a brain.

Bill OReilly paid $32,000,000!!! to one of his many victims, in this case a woman he sent gay porn to !?! in addition to the usual harassment and "non consensual sexual relationship."

Fox then renewed his contract.

On the other side of the spectrum but still filed under the 'what in the actual **** is wrong with you' it is no longer a felony in California to knowingly give a partner (who is unaware of the circumstances) AIDS. It is also no longer a felony to knowingly donate HIV infected blood

The reasoning here for the first one is that if you criminalize knowingly giving people HIV, you disincentivize people to get tested because they want to maintain their veil of ignorance. That's reasoning that makes no sense to most people but probably plenty of sense to meth heads. The crime will still carry jail time (6 months). I'm not a fan of the change, I think it should be a felony, but an optimist would see it as a victory for harm reduction over criminalization, I guess.

The second law is being removed simply because it serves no purpose. All donated blood is screened for HIV.

Yeah, super stupid for that second thing to be a felony. I mean the amount of wasted time for other things that is legal or goes unpunished means that should never be punished either, and it probably wastes very little time. Not enough people donating blood anyway, so it's not like a bunch of HIV people are jamming up the donation centers.

Doubt it takes long to screen for blood, either. Really would just be the donor wasting their own time, and it allows someone to symbolically donate if that is their purpose.

Also noticed while looking around for data on how big a problem the "knowingly spreading HIV" is that the CDC says 69% of new HIV cases each year come from 30% of the population. 12% Black and 18% Latino but 45% and 24% of the new cases respectively with Whites representing 27% of new cases.

There's 40-80k new cases a year and while treatment is pretty good these days if you can afford it 6700 still died of it in 2014.

Asked in another thread but does anyone know the limitations of inviting hate speakers to college campuses? Like, could someone start a Young Nazis club and then fill up the calendar with Spencer types and child rape advocates? Even if the major public universities in FL only had one each per semester, that would be $12M in security expenses and 24 attempted murders extrapolating from this most recent ****show. Is that just the cost of freedom?

Was thinking about this earlier. The right seems to hate universities - could they go out and intentionally harm one financially by doing something like this? Seems like the answer is yes

I think he was supposed to speak at Texas A&M back in September but the university cancelled his appearance due to a new rule about safety concerns. There were lots of counter protests planned and it was during a school day plus it was soon after the Charlottesville stuff.
