    Omicron Variant

    I'd agree with you if my link was opinion, speculation or hype. But it's raw #s, from the South African authorities. It could just as easily happen here with the unvaxxed population. Omicron is a fast moving, extremely infectious variant - look at the infection numbers in the second link...

    Burnt out. Need a change.

    Amen. I still remember the day I realized I didn't have to drive around downtown looking for street parking, when I could just pay for underground parking. Little things like that.

    Burnt out. Need a change.

    Fair enough. No way it's deal related though - Vancouver is not exactly a financial center. Most likely candidate is trading, IMO.

    Burnt out. Need a change.

    MDs @ Goldman get paid *very* generously now - US$450K base + $190K bonus (I've heard of more, depending on the desk) https://www.glassdoor.ca/Salary/Goldman-Sachs-Managing-Director-New-York-City-Salaries-EJI_IE2800.0,13_KO14,31_IL.32,45_IM615.htm It's possible for OP to be making that much...

    Burnt out. Need a change.

    If you have enough tucked away, quit and travel the world for a year. Do it cheap (hostels, etc) and you could do it for $20K at most. Gain some perspective, chill out and maybe learn some new skills. The question that you want answered is: what is something I like doing, can make money at and...

    Reagan must be spinning like a top in his coffin

    Wow! Who would believe that such a conservative country would even manage to survive, let alone do relatively well (up until now at least).

    Not just the low vaccination rate, but also high median age plus cultural resistance to vaccines. And they rely heavily on public transport, which can be very crowded. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/26/asia/japan-covid-vaccination-program-intl-hnk-dst/index.html It is true the number of cases in...
