I really wonder if we used the words "children and other unvaccinated people" when discussing policies, how perspectives might change. ie, "Because of high Covid-19 transmission right now, children and other unvaccinated people are at a high risk."
"If children and other unvaccinated people visit an indoor area, choose places where it’s easy to stay apart from others, and avoid places where people do not wear masks."
"If children and other unvaccinated people meet friends indoors, including inside your home, limit your group to a handful of people, keep your distance and wear a mask."
"Children and unvaccinated people should avoid crowds, and limit the number of people they meet and the amount of time they spend with them. They should avoid indoor spaces with poor airflow."

Agree. We also use this technique in marketing by putting time limits or caps on things to make it feel urgent and induce FOMO (we call it scarcity), paired with making it very easy via UX to do whatever it is we want people to do (in my case, buy tickets to operas, etc.).
Private businesses could probably help vaccination along by having some really enticing limited-time, in-person only events or offers, while simultaneously requiring vaccination to enter the premises.
ie - super cheap tickets to x destination, but you have to be vaxxed to board the plane; BOGO on event tickets, but both you and your friend have to be vaxxed to enter; free drinks w/meal at a restaurant, but you all have to be vaxxed; etc. etc.

On Aug. 6 Italy institutes the "green pass" for COVID immunity. The pass is mandatory for eating or drinking indoors, taking the train, going to pools or gyms, attending outdoor games, or attending fairs, conventions + competitions. corriere.it/economia/consu…
People going inside these spaces/events without one face a fine of up to 1000 euro, and owners/organizers do as well. The pass's validity expires 48 hours after getting a negative COVID test, 15 days after getting a first dose (it extends to 270 days after getting a second),
and if you have a 1-dose vaccine, it lasts for 9 months. The pass is revoked if you subsequently test positive for COVID. In short, your world will become pretty small and annoying if you choose not to get vaccinated.

I'm still reading through the indictment, but I think it's worth remembering that the scheme outlined in it starts at approximately the same time that Deutsche Bank loaned Trump almost a billion dollars when no one else would touch him, citing credit risk. theguardian.com/business/2017/…
Also worth remembering: the time period of the scheme in the indictment also lines up with his all-cash shopping sprees. washingtonpost.com/politics/as-th…
It's also when all these cash purchases were going on: mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…

Came across a phishing attempt that anyone designing/running websites should know about. It began with "Your website or a website that your company hosts is infringing on a copyright-protected images owned by myself."
I knew that I'd licensed all the images on said website, so that prevented me from panic-clicking the link that says "Take a look at this report with the URLs to my images you used."
After a quick search, I discovered that it's a scam being used to spread ransomware. The email I received was the same others have received, verbatim. techlicious.com/blog/fake-copy…

Even if this guy is a raving lunatic, it's worth finding out *why* he thinks he has access to foreign money to fund his campaign, he has access to foreign hit men, and he has "two foreign secret service officers up [his] @$$". politico.com/news/2021/06/1…
In fact, it might be good to look at the pattern of low-level operatives thinking they've got hit men/secret service types "up their @$$" and/or access to hit men. Remember Robert Hyde? Also a vet running for congress saying he had access to hit men. npr.org/2020/01/15/796…
Hyde also expressed a similar sentiment about Marie Jovanovitch, calling her a traitor and a scumbag, seemingly thinking that her demise was necessary for US security. businessinsider.com/robert-hyde-wh…

Gosh, I wonder if they found anything interesting in Rudy Giuliani’s apartment?
I sure hope he used as much caution and common sense as he did in the Borat movie!
He’d better call Four Seasons Total Landscaping and make reservations ASAP.
