I've seen them from $40 to like $100, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. The rapid tests I've only ever seen at like $30/2 or less.

shame on an IGA posted:BAKA! ~Inventory is one of the Seven Wastes!!~ After those articles came out the company defended itself by saying that they were required to destroy the intermediate stock that had been sitting for more than 6 months. That raises the question of if that’s is indeed all they were doing or not.

Marshal Prolapse posted:Like I said I didn’t really have any hope that there was any scientific backing for my theory. Still I’m wondering what the hell the end game is going to be? Does this eventually become something like the seasonal flu or is it basically pseudo post apocalyptic society coping with a never ending pandemic for decades or more. The endgame is basically it being the flu: it mutates a lot but a yearly shot gives you enough immunity to strains that are close enough that’s it’s not so bad on average.

mlmp08 posted:This is a good summary if you do not have any understanding that the child tax credit exists, think $600 = $1400, and do not count unemployment insurance. Extended unemployment was originally under Trump, but Biden did extend it more than Trump did. The CTC has a strong possibility of backfiring because the credit was increased less than the advanced payments. Since withholding isn't trivial for a dual income household, the full child tax credit was likely the only thing preventing a lot of parents from owing taxes. The CTC advance payments are implemented in such a stupid way.

Stravag posted:Fuuuuuuck.... accepting a recon overflight from a different country because you can't contact the government is a terrifying thought Recon flights probably won’t be able to operate for some time due to ash though. A maritime patrol aircraft should be able to get close enough and have good enough antennas to hear any transmissions from the island. I’m not familiar with all the EM stuff but I’m guessing the lightning in the giant ash cloud means HF is effectively jammed?

I mean if New Zealand can’t get the touch with them…who is running the show? I don’t mean that in any conspiratorial way, just in terms of the extent of the damage and potential continuity of government implications, especially for a small island nation that probably doesn’t have a lot of things put into government redundancy. The ambassador* to New Zealand. The plenipotentiary part rarely is relevant these days but this is why it’s there. *it’s actually a high commissioner or something, Commonwealth realms are weird
