if - IF - there is "long vax", the critical thing here is that the prevalence would have to be somewhere between 0.3 - 2 percent based on difficulties recruiting pts / collecting case studies. Long COV prevalence is 10-30% depending on what study.
You want the lower odds. Take the vax.

why on earth is torturing people you made up a good idea? Like, if what you're going to do is torture them, why even add more pain to the world? This is gross on multiple levels.

I think the crypto bros were out to get her in the last election, and they have very successful $$ and opinion machines, so I think her chances would be dim.

3/3
They have an edge on coverage friendly to the establishment b/c they have access, where smaller, indie sources don't; it makes sense they would cede on-the-ground reporting as they barely have the $ to leave the newsroom
And if they piss Trump off, they know they're hosed so...

2/3 in an environment where news is complicated & bad actors are obscuring the view, but the payoff for reporting is ever smaller as the news market changes, reporters and editors need labor saving choices that still get them clicks.

1/2 they've been getting more pro-establishment since the Iraq War protests - I suspect coverage lost them $ / attention.
Then George Floyd protests happened, and a fog of spin and disinformation made it hard to capture nuance / provide context.
Then Cheeto started punishing negative coverage.

The part that kills me is ..."wait, are we SURE it's not a Cadillac? Because that's more than I'd like to pay for a Chevy. Who knows how much one actually costs, that's not what I WANT to spend."

that would mean all the residential parking spots would disappear and only folks who live outside the core would be able to park.

oh, absolutely. I just don't think that's how Trump sees it and in Trump v Musk I think the guy with the Power of Contracts is the one who's gonna win.

I think Trump is so far beyond that. He only cares about what he wants to do - and I think for him he wants a convenient way to tell Musk "I own your a**".
He's so deeply, dyed-in-the-wool corrupt that this doesn't really stand out in a corruption context, I think.
