BERLIN — You see it everywhere here in Germany, day in and day out: People taking the subway or bus or train put masks on as they prepare to board. And when they arrive at their stop or station and disembark, nearly all of them take the mask off, almost in unison. For someone who arrived here after spending the first year and a quarter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, it is a remarkable sight: a communal, matter-of-fact approach to mitiga... read more

This debate surfaces from time to time, and often the debatiness of it stems from particular interpretations of what "art" and "science" are. Or rather, what they are not, as people often bring these terms up in order to dismiss them. "Science" is subject to a great deal of misinterpretation, with folks tending toward the notion that science is a matter of cold, hard settled facts. Science, this theory goes, tells us exactly how things always work.

Prices are getting ever higher, and shortages are getting ever worseIn our frequent discussions of inflation and supply chain problems (see here for a recent article), some may have become "punch-drunk" to the point that they've switched off further discussion. Others appear to have decided that since there's nothing they can do about it, they may as well not bother. Sadly, such reactions are what's making the problem worse. Those responding like that are, in essence, expecting the supply chain and inflation to be "fixed" or "solved" *by someone else*, so they can "get back to normal".
