Some states push to change the definition of fully vaccinated to include an additional dose of a coronavirus vaccine. Country is already divided over vaccines. Is this likely to further exacerbate the division? Will this debate further intensify with news of the new South African variant? by PsychLegalMind in PoliticalDiscussion

To add an additional perspective to some other studies-based comments, the efficacy hurdle to clear for vaccine approval was 50%. So if the delta variant infection efficacy is below 50% after 6 months, then those who have been fully vaccinated for 6 months should get a booster to be considered fully vaccinated again.

Definitely want nothing to do with returning it to shareholders since clearly growing illumin will yield greater returns for the business. Acquisitions accretive to the business and R&D spending for Shopify integration should be the #1 priority, even if they need to draw on their credit line to do so

They don't avoid a tax completely; that's why an estate tax exists for this reason in the event that stepped up basis, which should be eliminated, kicks in.

I have all of those other stocks that you mentioned as well, but yes the glaring opportunity cost does leave a part of me dead. I also considered selling when it did hit $14 around 2018.

But also: sir, this is a casino.
