I don’t know, an immediate 14 percent pay raise, an average of $11,000 in retro pay per employee, and the sick leave changes put together seem… Pretty pro-employee? I’ll wait to see what the actual employees have eto say publicly about the deal, but it sure doesn’t sound like they got hosed.
So that raise probably breaks about even against inflation. The retro pay is great. The sick leave improves the situation but is still pretty bad, relatively speaking.

Maybe Biden is confusing COVID with the Spanish flu.
Welcome to half a year ago in Europe!
What am I missing? We are in the endemic phase right. The pandemic phase is over.

What percentage of the population will understand it that way compared to how many will only hear that they can lick door knobs again?
You sir are technically correct, the best kind of correct!

I don’t think it’s endemic yet, but it’s not some hard and fast definition
Unless you think that 500 people per day are going to die from covid forevermore
Kind of seems that way in the near term tbh. Except for those days when it goes higher in the winter.
Americam exceptionalism!
Yes, absolutely what I think until we get improved vaccines/treatments. Everyone is done with COVID. COVID is not done with them.
It’s on par with hearth disease now right.

Been so caught up in Ukraine news that I’ve been sleeping on the unrest in Iran, which seems to be getting increasingly serious.
