In that description, the two lines wouldn't necessarily be perpendicular.

Edit: I mean that if you're trying to apply the same mechanism to the second line, you wouldn't necessarily end up with the lines intersecting at 90°. But maybe I'm misunderstanding.

I don't see any stats in the article about the "serge", and the source linked by the article only offers a weeks snapshot and last week's #.

ER diagnosis are at 2.1%, up from 1.9% the week before. Not sure that counts as a serge, especially since for all I know that's within the margin of error.

Anybody have better stats?

Then you're saying biomass is not really sequestering carbon, essentially.

Coal is sequestered carbon.

No. If you reported $0 in income on your taxes, you get nothing. There's a minimum income to get anything back. So if you don't work, you get nothing, so you are incentivized to find a job of some kind.

But that minimum should be quite low and attainable.

No, negative income tax usually requires that you make some money and file taxes. UBI doesn't.

One has the intention of encouraging workforce participation. The other tries to help everyone.

A negative income that is better than that. It says, if you're working, but only making $12k, the state will give you money so you now have $20k. (Not real numbers.)

The idea is that it incentivizes participation in the work force, with hopes that the extra money helps you get stable and move up the payscale where you may stop needing the external support.

When did this happen?

Keep in mind that Judicial Review (deciding if laws are constitutional or not) isn't even a constitutional power. It's one the court gave itself in Marbury v. Madison.

A standard would reduce the barrier to entry, which would increase competition. Can't have that.

Guess I didn't realize it's hitting humans on Long Island pretty well.
