The Data Examiner – (Notable) Remarks:
** Imagine there’s a small fire in your kitchen. Your fire alarm goes off, warning everyone nearby about the danger. Someone calls 911. You try to put the fire out yourself–maybe you even have a fire extinguisher under the sink. If that doesn’t work, you know how to safely evacuate. By the time you get outside, the fire truck is already pulling up. Firefighters use the hydrant in front of your house to extinguish the flames before any of your neighbors’ homes are ever at risk of catching fire. We need to prepare to fight disease outbreaks just as we prepare to fight fires. If it is left to burn out of control, a fire poses a threat not only to one home, but to an entire community. The same is true for infectious diseases, except on a much bigger scale. As we know all too well from COVID, an outbreak in one town can quickly spread across an entire country and then around the world. —- Bill Gates
** One of the reasons people are reluctant to talk to strangers on a train or plane is they don’t think it will be enjoyable. They believe it will be awkward, dull and tiring. In an online survey only 7% of people said they would talk to a stranger in a waiting room. Only 24% said they would talk to a stranger on a train. —- David Brooks
** Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money. —- Virginia Woolf

‘Dystopian’ Homeless Encampments Overtake Chicago’s O’Hare Airport
Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport has turned into a sprawling, “dystopian” encampment for the Windy City’s rising homeless population–sparking serious safety concerns among staff and passengers, who say they’ve been followed and harassed. Shocking photos show filthy makeshift shelters set up inside the major travel hub’s terminals. One photo even shows a vagrant collapsed and asleep inside a terminal vestibule. “It’s out of control. None of us feel safe,” Vonkisha Chatman, a custodian who works the overnight shift in Terminal 1 and 2, said. Chatman said she and her co-workers have been harassed by the unwelcome guests, who leave litter behind and trash the bathrooms. “They will come up behind you. This one man followed us last night,” said another airport worker, Catherine Thompson.
