   "One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is the compensation, like the principles of compensation. If I live in San Francisco, and I move to Taos, New Mexico, where houses cost a third as much, should I get paid less? I can make the argument strongly both ways. But companies are acting like monopsonists, which is like a monopoly except you’re the only buyer instead of the…

   Watching hurricane coverage from Lafayette, LA. I normally watch a station from Baton Rouge, but I think this one is closer to the area of most damage.
   
   I'm not going to watch very long.

   #Hurricane #Laura has sustained wind speeds of 150-155MPH. We may learn after the fact that it was indeed a Category 5.
   
   Expecting ocean water to be up to 20 feet above normally dry ground and for the water to reach up to 30 miles inland.
   
   This is probably one of the 10 biggest storms to strike the Continental US since tracking and measurement began.

   Yes, I've been reading a little bit about malaria and the drugs used to treat it (including CQ & HCQ).

   I never heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Jay_the_Jet_Plane before today. 1998-2005, so really targeted at a younger group than mine ( #Daddy_A, the youngest, was born in 1989 ).
   
   Here's an episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oy4_Rl9_fw ... I suppose they'd have shown two of these 12 and a half minute episodes in one half-hour show.

   I really only know one person in #LA ... a former #Fediverse member (and #HPR contirbutor) who is a professor at one of the state universities.
   
   Unfortunately, he’s really busy, and I don’t really have a channel to ask how things are going.

    You can tell a lot about someone's feelings by their pronunciation. For example, I say You-Ess-Pee-Ess for USPS, not Us-Pus. As you might guess, I'm in favor of preserving the Postal Service.

    Replacement is on-site and working. It is blowing directly at my bed. Also replaced the window fan with two box fans. Last night was the first time in a while that I had to partially cover myself, because the ~60F wind being pulled inside by the fan was too cool after being in 95F all day.

    My mom mailed a card to one of my brothers (who has lived in the same apartment for at least a decade). It came back as undeliverable.
    
    #USPS screws up a lot, but I still don't want them closed down or sold.

    The head of the agency sends out an all-hands message, then half an hour later, they use the agency's emergency alert system to ping everybody _with the same message_.

    *Sigh*
    
    Obvious interference by someone other than the public health folks. If we're going to slow and stop the spread of #COVID-19, we need _more_ testing, not less, and we need to re-test people that have already been tested before, because infected / not-infected is a point-in-time state, not a lifetime state.
