Covid, yes, but not widespread lockdowns (and some other stuff from the “early covid” period) which is basically what the article is reflecting on. For example, I hadn’t really thought about how it could affect child social development due to significantly reduced social exposure.
This isn’t really a “covid is over” piece. ‘It’s still a serious human pathogen’ wouldn’t be a sub-heading if it was.
Good stuff, sometimes aggressive measures need to be taken to look out for the interest of the shareholders. Plus the fuel discount is a perfectly timed Christmas gift, exactly what Australia needs in a cost of living crisis. Bravo Woolies, very proud to have my superannuation invested in a company that cares!
I agree it’s a useful insight, but it’s the only sentence in the entire article that isn’t instead discussing the merits of lump sum vs regular payment. Saying that “it’s the takeaway” from the linked article is insanity.
The Wikipedia page for Hitler includes the sentence:
The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929.
That doesn’t make it the takeaway of the article!! If you want to make a case for something, bring the right evidence. As the researchers themselves have said, this study can’t just be generalized to high-income countries.
It actually sounds like the van’s panels (I’m guessing especially the large roof panel) can provide non-trivial power:
No doubt the huge array of panels on his roof can give it a lot more juice though!
