Also remember that correlation isn't causation. Trust me, every autistic person in the West has heard all about how we just need to adjust our gut biome and suddenly we won't be autistic, or we just need to go vegan, or any of a thousand other wonder cures. These cures have been touted since the 1900s, and the people they "work" on are generally agreed to just have learnt to mask better because almost every "treatment", no matter how benign, is horrible to deal with.

And a federal record of abortions, stillbirths and miscarriages. Which is also pregnancy tracking.

You forgot the Syrian mercenaries.

Mules are better over extremely rough terrain - they're shorter and stockier. Horses evolved to run over open grasslands, plains, and rocky steppes.

To quote (likely) John Swift, a lie can be halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.

Not to mention that these managers had time to do this in the first place, which indicates to me that those managers are doing a whole boatload of nothing.

But this assumes that people in survival or emergency situations are only going to look for themselves. In fact, in almost every emergency situation where there's been a breakdown of emergency infrastructure, the exact opposite happens - it just doesn't get reported on by the big outlets.

After Katrina, for instance, you heard "oh there was a huge rape and murder pit in the Superdome" on several news outlets. The​ Superdome was actually used by survivors as an ad-hoc camp, and the only armed people there were making sure people DIDN'T get hurt like that. People with boats went on sorties into the flooded city to get people back to the Superdome, where they had food and cots and medical care. The only real "looting" was for medical supplies, food, and things to help people SURVIVE, not luxury goods, and many tried not to scavenge in areas or businesses that couldn't take it - Walmart could deal with a couple dozen missing sleeping bags, small businesses in the area would definitely miss that medication though.

It turns out humanity, in an emergency situation, left to their own devices, GENERALLY will choose to help other people first rather than hurting them. Research has shown that this will to help is fairly deep-seated in most people, and it tends to fall apart when societal pressure is reapplied - in the case of Katrina, that camp fell apart pretty soon after the National Guard and police started shooting anyone who was "looting", no matter what they were taking.

Nah, he and the Duma have stated their victory conditions: total control over Ukraine AND the destruction of Ukrainian national identity. He doesn't want Ukraine thinking of itself as a sovereign nation, only a Russian state.

Tesla might get in some serious trouble in Germany for allegedly doing this to sick employees.

I would say something about the Union making a deal with the CSA, but a scary amount of conservatives think we should've done exactly that.

I did this once to my store manager. Dude wanted me IN, no matter how much I told him I'd been throwing up all morning. I managed to drive the 15 minutes into work...and promptly threw up all over his shoes when he started trying to yell at me on the sales floor.

Never had anyone doubt that I was sick again at that job.
