Lmao, you thought there would be times it would be cheaper than now? Nah. It would baseline where it is now, and become more expensive when people actually want to eat.
I mean it has cost lifes of course but is capturing a tiny village really worth reporting? It probably hasn’t even a railway connection or anything to serve as a staging area
“A meningitis outbreak has killed 20 students in northern Nigeria, local media reported Wednesday (Feb. 28).
The death toll which remains provisional was announced by the Yobe state Education commissioner.
The outbreak has been recorded in some secondary schools in the state.
Over a hundred cases have allegedly been reported with three patients said to still be in an intensive care unit responding to treatment.
Meningitis is an infection which causes an acute inflammation of the outer layers of the brain and spinal cord. It can be life-threatening unless diagnosed and treated early.
Transmission is through direct person-to-person contact, including droplets from the nose and throat of infected people.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention shared Wednesday (Feb. 28) on its X account (formerly twitter) a meningitis vigilance map.
Indeed, weather conditions can favour prevalence of meningitis.
Most of cases in the country are reported across states in the northern region.
According to the WHO, the west African nation reported 124 deaths from meningitis between 1 October 2022 and 16 April 2023.”
It doesn’t even say which version it is, viral or bacterial.
I wonder why they think it’s a good idea. Maybe it’s for people who live in small towns and have minimal options? Where I live there are so many better options around me that are healthier and cheaper. I very very rarely get fast food.
People are ignorant af. Surge pricing is exactly the same as offering a discount on prices during the less busy times and suddenly people are ok with it. “Our businesses surge from 1030-1300 and 1700-1900 so we’re gonna charge $15 for the meal that’s normally $13.” Is the same exact situation as: Xyz economic situation is causing us to raise prices across the board, so we’re gonna now charge $15 for this meal. Oh wait business is slow, offer them a discount outside of these hours: 1030-1300 and 1700-1900.
Nah, one way means the bar is fixed at a specific price and you may get lucky and pay less. The other way means there is no bar and you have no idea what you might pay until after you’ve already spent 10 minutes in line and get up to the counter/intercom.
Nobody wants to take that gamble when you could just drive to one of the other dozen nearby burger places that don’t do stupid shit like this.
You’re missing the point I’m trying to make entirely and arguing the way they’re going to try to implement it. How it’s going to happen doesn’t matter, but the fact still is you and everyone else can expect this to become common place.
People are fucking stupid. Every last one of you who thought they were going to raise prices is a moron that believes anything you read from other morons.
They were planning on adding discounts that only applied during off peak times. It sounds like they still are planning to do this. You fucks literally almost stupided your way out of saving money by being stupider than anticipated.
I hope none of you have brokerage accounts because none of you have the intellect required to source stock information.
This is how the rich get richer. It is is literally impossible to underestimate the intelligence of the average consumer and they long ago figured out how to profit from it.
Well yeah, the dummies don’t actually want to have a conversation, they just want to take a dump on the thing they think they don’t like. No need to verify when you got your poopy butthole ready.
The IRA has a provision that ends $0 corporate tax loopholes. If a company does well and they use loopholes to end up with a $0 bill, there’s a new 15% minimum tax they have to pay.
This is nothing concerning, at all. People really know very little about the rarity of actually coming into contact with, must less being infected by, tetanus.
In 2015, there were 34,000 newborns who died of neonatal tetanus as estimated by the WHO. This number is actually a 96% reduction from the amount that died in 1988 after many programs to help improve vaccine access. The tetanus vaccine induces antibodies in a mother which help protect the infant after birth.
Tetanus, without an anti toxin (a form of passive vaccination) and other extensive medical interventions in an intensive care unit, approaches a 100% fatality rate. Treatment includes the active vaccination as well.
Vaccines are a victim of their own success. We’ve had tetanus vaccines since 1924, and the people privileged enough to have had them for multiple generations don’t appreciate what it would be without them. Clostridium tetani is not rare, and is widespread across the entire world in dirt. The disease tetanus is rare only because of widespread access to vaccines.
Tetanus is in the dirt. Literally all of it. An open wound can get infected not just from rusty nails, but from anything dirty. What you said is absolutely wrong and the only reason you think tetanus is rare is because YOU ARE VACCINATED. Or unvaxxed and lucky.
While I’m definitely not suggesting anyone go against the recommend interval of every ten years, as how long the protection lasts in any one person is variable and there are other pathogens it protects against too, most in the US have had six vaccinations against it by the time they are an adult. In some cases especially after six or more doses and in adults, protection can potentially persist longer then ten years, sometimes decades, giving people like the commenter you’re replying to who may skip a dose the false impression that they didn’t need a vaccine in the first place. But again, do not deviate from the every ten year schedule for lots of good reasons. It’s a quick and easy way to ensure you do not have a very horrific and life changing experience after a minor scrape.
Do you not know that Clostridium Tetani is present in nearly every sample of soil from every region of the globe? Present in the feces of most mammals? It’s literally one of the most widespread bacteria on earth. You only think it’s rare because of how effective vaccination has been.
A friend of mine got it from working at his dad’s auto wrecking business. Started off with a tiny scratch on his finger and within a week ballooned into a 2 week hospital stay and a warning he might be sterile when it was all over (he wasn’t).
Something what doesn’t goes against the society wellbeing(included you own family especially your own children) and youself, social media validation addiction it’s a big concern now and I believe in the future it will be more, grabbing easy money from digital prostitution definitely isn’t a smart move.
Does your family have to approve of your employment for you to deem it a decent job? My parents don’t get this new fangled technology nonsense that I work with. It’s just a passing phase in their minds. So is my work indecent?
Does the difficulty of a job make it decent? Does one need to suffer for their wage? Does the ease of a task make it less decent to you?
Which society are you referring to? The USA’s? Finland’s? Botswana’s?
I believe a decent job it’s a socially acceptable job which doesn’t harm any big or small cell of the society (your country as the biggest and yourself as the smallest-your children beyond yourself-), easy money jobs are seen like indencent jobs for the society too, like drug dealing, pimping(exploiting), prostitution(digital or physical), I believe the difference between a decent job and an indecent job will be determined by the laws of you local jurisdiction or maybe the rules of you community if you live into a religious community.
And as the internet it’s very hard to regulate, then you will definitely have a lot of jurisdiction contradictions involved.
I usually don’t care about people selling nudes on the internet, but I definitely not define it as “hard working” or “entrepreneurship”. I see it more like an easy money job ergo an indencent job.
Great book coming out in a few days on the subject, and that there are choices where it’s not too late. When business news like MarketWatch are advertising the need for change in retirement scheme it may have enough legs for actual change.
