“If only we had taxed away Bill Gates' wealth, then instead of having 7 vaccine factories ready to go whenever we figure out which vaccine is most effective, we could have... checks notes ...enforced the ban on coronavirus testing for an extra week.“
Actually all three fucked up, and each contributed to the tragedy unfolding here now.
I don’t really care but downvoting seems weasely. If you disagree with a post, saw why.
It would improve things by ridding us of bots (insofar as it was effective at least).
But it would preserve anonymity which preserves all the nastiness.
(Having said that I’m in favor of anonymity on net)

@jon-nyc I read an article a few days ago that indicates a surprising number of abortions occur after child 1 was born…
I can see that use case also.
I’m thinking more about the girl who had the abortion in college or grad school and goes on the have kids in her 30s.
It’s not just a use case, it’s the majority.

Certainly the modal case in my social class was as I describe. But whatever the numbers might be, the point is that it is incorrect to assume X fewer abortions will add X kids to the population in the medium term.
Often times it just swaps an unwanted pregnancy for a later, desired one.
I guess the formal answer is to actually do the arithmetic on the Riemann sums. The area under the triangular approximations converges to zero but the ratio of the path lengths stays constant.

I was up about two hours before you posted, getting my fire going...Mostly pin oak with some mayhaw. Chicken goes on in about 15.
Have a safe and enjoyable 4th.
Nice, gentlemen.
I’m at a VRBO in the Poconos. Lake and pool for me today.
