That data is US-wide. YMMV in your region/Canada. But my point was less that places that sell alcohol are in decline (very well could be) but that social spaces for youth could have shifted from alcohol-based to something else, like coffee. The data seems to suggest that.

Google tells me the net growth of coffee shops from 2020 to 2025 was 13000. That's about 7%. The growth in bars and restaurants in that time is 2%, which includes a spike in closures during the pandemic. That data also told me that half of bars and restaurants close within five years, so...

Is there a decline in social spaces? My impression is Galloway's data point is 40% (or whatever) of bars closed since the pandemic. My guess is in the five years before the pandemic to the pandemic, that number was close to 40%. My impression is Galloway cherry picks stats to make a point...

There was little evidence of conflicts on the current boards. They have disclosure and ethics requirements. ACIP has recommended against vaccines.

Not to speak for him, but Bari Weiss is an example of someone who left traditional media for the more sensationalist "individual" media. Traditional media typically has quite a firewall between advertising/revenue and the newsroom. Weiss and others who have gone that route don't. They rely...

Mostly agree with this. I forget who it was that knows him. Basically said he's not immoral. He's amoral - he's just not concerned with right or wrong. Move fast and break things and all.

Yeah, I said exactly this upthread. :) In which case it's not at all unusual in the tech world.

Was Facebook first? MySpace was years ahead of them?

No doubt. Zuck is a king at falling behind and buying his way to number 1. He's not all that innovative. But he's seemingly pretty great at catching up. And that usually involves vast sums of money.

100 million investment will get Facebook a lot more money than Patrick Mahomes will make the Chiefs. If they get them anywhere near super intelligence My guess is these are also some type of stock option or something else that vests over time, too. And, of course, this is coming from a...

This probably strays too political, but there are a multitude of reasons for this, almost none of which are doctor's fault. Consolidation in health care is only going to continue - especially in rural areas - as a lot of their funding gets cut. That consolidation is bad for everyone.

That implies infallibility? To me, it implies fallibility because he recognizes his bias. As does this: I realize that's not ideal, and the link offers advice to communicate more effectively:

Narrator: No one did.

Of course they can. We've been over that repeatedly in here. That's your best source of doing your own research - a second opinion from a doctor. You addressed the assumption (which is based on what Term said - sure doesn't seem like he's talking about people who got a second opinion from a...
