Co-sign. Singapore pays public officials solid wages. You get better officials. And you don’t need to worry as much about them taking bribes to eat or pay a mortgage on a decent home.

.@benpedwards.bsky.social's latest on reincorporation. Descriptively, it seems Delaware's economic model is now at risk. The franchise biz is high value to DE (and higher than it ever will be to TX or NV), so you might've expected more DE loss-aversion. www.businesslawprofessors.com/2026/05/earl...

This idea that the NYT is some sort of right-wing rag because they sometimes publish conservatives and do reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want is just one of the most demented and reality-eschewing theories to take hold on the left. Truly bizarre and sad to see.

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year. As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/h...
The new restriction will sharply limit access to the Novavax vaccine for people under 65 who are in good health. It may leave Americans who do not have underlying conditions at risk if a more virulent version of the coronavirus were to emerge. It could also limit options for people who want the vaccine for a wide array of reasons, including to protect a vulnerable loved one.
