Things I learned lately 6 Jan

• By 9:43 am on the 3rd of January, Canada’s richest CEOs have already earned the average worker’s annual salary.
• Based on actual scientific data (see for yourself here), it seems that adverse side-effects of Covid vaccines were high enough to lead research experts to say “The excess risk of serious adverse events found in our study points to the need for formal harm-benefit analyses, particularly those that are stratified according to risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes.” In plain English, they suggest that it would be wise to study what segment of the population is most at risk of serious harm from the virus weighed against who is at risk of serious harm from the vaccine. This has yet to happen.
• Children aged 12 and under no longer need to pay a fare to ride Calgary Transit.
• The first name that has the most nicknames is Elizabeth. It helps that the name has four syllables.
• The board game Monopoly started out being called The Landlord Game.
• When Prince changed his name to a symbol in 1993, it was to try and get his contract nullified with Warner Records. It didn’t work.
