It has been the case since as far as I can remember in business and in media that family was off limits, unless of course the family is directly involved in the business. The code of the road was that you can attack the protagonist as much as you want, but not his wife and not

Would it be ideal if all schools had daily tests & great ventilation? Sure, but that’s not reality. We cannot inflict further harm to an entire generation. This is not 2020: We have vaccines + masks, and Omicron is milder. Schools must be open. @ProfEmilyOster @biannagolodryga

I guess if I had just one course with 19 students in a building like the kind they have at Brown University I wouldn’t spend my days calling public k-12 teachers lazy in service to rich people who see everyone but themselves as expendable.
