Went through the same decades ago. Was prescribed Vitamin D 50,000 IU, once a week. Helped a lot. Best of luck!

Agreed. I'm surprised they release unpaid updates as opposed to paid DLCs. Wonder how they manage.

I'm not sure about the last sentence. India had a literacy rate of 16% when the British left and education was monopolized by non-Dalits/SC/STs AFAIK. Do you have numbers?

I could not figure out what the author's overall position is on the pandemic response - understandable given the format.

Is the author saying we had all the tools ("ability") but we did not have the people in positions of power that the author approves of?

>Half the engineers working for FB, Google etc would not get hired today.

I thought people jump around a lot these days.

What happens if you sell it, say, a year after filing for bankruptcy? Can you keep the cash?

In the same boat. Each dollar I move from equity to cash I feel a little safer and a little more foolish.

Weird conclusion. The best managers/masters tend to be predictable. Institutions by their nature have norms that enforce this. It's not even close to the same thing.
