Yes if there's a material chance that the last third of folks at the concert get torched in a fire.

If N95 masks have worked so well for you, why walk around angry at everyone else for choosing not to wear them? You're in for a long life of anger and resentment.

No it's not straightforward. This isn't a literal physical town square, obviously. This is a platform in which a major type of online discourse takes place that has carved a pretty significant and influential place in history, no

0) Macroeconomics is macro. Everything is connected. 1) we just came out of a very long period of "easy money" that inflated valuations and gave founders/boards a sense that money would always be there 2) when your customers

completely different mechanism.
