In that particular area, correct?

Better than not.
Then it’s not a vaccine…..Not saying it doesn’t have a net positive impact, but it isn’t a vaccine.
If we use that definition, then the world has no vaccines.
They pretty much all have percent effective < 100%.
I don't think you will find any vaccine which makes you 100% immune to every new strain of the same disease.

It's more now. I deal with it on govt jobs.
This study concluded that prevailing wage adds 37% to the cost of construction in California. And people wonder why we have a shortage of affordable housing?

Again, at least that much. In my experience it's 40-50%.
The planner estimators for the agencies I work for know it's a waste, we know it's a waste, everyone pretty much knows it's a waste. But it is the law. Just another example of the government wasting our money. I pay a guy $60 an hour to push a broom around.
Crazy and totally artificial. Just shows you the power the unions have over the government.
Half right. Prevailing wage does raise the cost of public projects, and California’s version is worse than most. Davis-Bacon is one of the main reasons it is so hard to build decent school facilities.
However, you can’t blame housing costs on prevailing wage. Chances are, zoning laws make it illegal to build additional housing on your street. Or my street. Or Bald Ref’s street. Or anywhere else even remotely close to work. Even if costs suddenly dropped, you still couldn’t build much because the cities wouldn’t let you.
If all you have is denial, it's best that you stick with that.
And what exactly am I supposedly in denial about?
I really meant in regards to affordable housing, which prevailing wages absolutely drive the cost up. Also California cities have affordable housing requirements set by the State so their anxious to attract affordable housing. However our State "leadership" is too stupid to understand that their requirement to use prevailing wage for the use of any public financing makes it that much more difficult to build affordable housing.

Why I Soured on the Democrats
COVID school policies set me adrift from my tribe.

True, the US will perform worse than Europe because of our vaxx rate. In particular, the fact that the boosters haven't been taken up robustly by the 60+ crowd will hurt. One of the things the NE should have done is a nursing home booster outright similar to what florida did.
Also true. The CDC director who signed off on zero COVID is either going to have to dig in her heels which will put her into conflict with Biden, or climb down which will put her into conflict with her supporters which already made her revise once the quarantine rules when she loosened them too far.
Not helping your “mandate” argument.
Just pointing out that your definition of “vaccine“ is hogwash.
Someone on Fox told you that the covid shot isn’t a vaccine, and you dutifully believed them.
Hope thinking that way makes you feel better.

Seems like a good quarantine idea.

The alternative is that you are a truly deep thinker with strong opinions about what does and does not qualify as a vaccine. It grates at you to no end that Salk’s deficient injection keeps getting referred to as a smallpox vaccine, when true credit should have been given to the Soviet effort. But you’re too shy to explain your reasoning on the topic.
Yeah, maybe. Or maybe you are just parroting what you heard from Fox and Friends.
Yah, would have been nice to not have so many break their cases of Small Pox this year.
