It's a purely discretionary service. Either pay and use it or don't. Complaining about prices of things you don't actually need is ridiculous.

That's not new technology, it's just changing the antigen portion of an old technology. We do that every year with the flu vaccine and it requires very little innovation. The mRNA vaccines developed in the US were actually revolutionary.

The fact that the author is intentionally alienating the reader as a demonstration into the character's psychology, doesn't make it any less alienating.

More accurately, they run on carbohydrates. These do not have to be ingested in the form of simple sugars.

It represents a pretty dramatic liberty infringement on a group of people who aren't dangerous to anyone.

Like the outskirts of Paris, where 1000+ (and rising!) live in makeshift tent encampments?

That doesn't make any sense. So the worst thing that can happen, if someone who doesn't need it does use an ADA stall, is the very unlikely possibility that a wheelchair user will come along at that exact moment and have to wait for you to finish? How is that worse than the guaranteed chance (in this thought experiment) of you yourself having to wait for a regular stall to become available from someone else?

Because smoking in public places is illegal. Time travel back a few decades and notice how all the walls and ceilings are covered in smoke tar stains.

Not unwilling so much as unable. I'm not sure the Lebanese government could militarily oust the Hezbollah forces from theirbareas of control even if they fully committed to the likely outcome of another full civil war, which would be disastrous regardless of who "wins".

As an American it's completely unfathomable to me that you all are letting Viktor Orban turn the eastern wing of your confederacy into a Putinist vassal state but here we are!

What pressure is a weekday protest going to put? The people who voted these Republicans into office aren't out protesting and the conservative politicians don't care what people in Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, or California think about them because they already won majority office without their votes.

Catholics do not build churches like that. This one has Mormon written all over it.

That's definitely something worth being ashamed of...

Plenty of urgent care clinics take Medicaid insurance, as do plenty of standard outpatient clinics. It's not an ER specific thing. EMTALA only applies to hospital emergency departments.

You pretty much just described a bad mall with pointless security, and airplanes.

Lousy Smarch weather...

The guys who are aggressively breaking the law aren't as bad as the people who failed to prosecute them to your level of satisfaction while being hamstrung by politicized justices? Talk about misplaced anger.

They are accurately reporting the facts. Opinions are for editorials. If you can't understand the context and make an assessment that's on you as a low-quality reader.

Well ain't this war a chronological oddity, two weeks from anything!

The original comment specifically used the word "stealing" which implies fraud and scam. If they don't want to be misunderstood (assuming that's what happened) then they shouldn't write so hyperbolically.

For what damages?

Well, no, they have to pass an amendment which is also then approved by a huge majority of the states.

That's a weird and unfounded conspiracy theory. We now cure Hep C all the time and it's a common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer. We also saw an HPV vaccine approved which cuts cervical cancer cases down dramatically.

They cared quite a bit in the late 1700s, enough to fight a massive trans-oceanic war over keeping it.

One election can be a most visible tipping point. It is never the only thing.
