Lot of people get CPR when in reality they’re dehydrated, ODing, or something similar
If you don't have Narcan on hand, and they're not breathing, rescue breathing might keep them alive until the EMTs come. If they don't have a heartbeat, chest compressions might keep them alive until the EMTs come. CPR's rate of success isn't great in most circumstances, but it's much better than nothing. No pulse, no breathing, their chance of death by the time EMTs arrive is essentially 100% without CPR.
The only actual high speed portion of Acela is in MA, and the time savings from Boston to NYC is a bit more substantial, accordingly.
I managed to snag a $70 round trip ticket from DC to Boston, months in advance, during 2021. Only time I'll probably ever justify taking it. As a nerd that likes trains, it was fun.

He's allowed to campaign from prison if convicted, too. Eugene Debs did it, after all. Logistically, I'm not sure how it'd work with a former president. If he's ever locked up, it's going to have to be in a supermax, for his own safety. The Unabomber's old cell in ADX Florence will be the perfect fit for the needs of a former president and fellow Ivy League graduate! But at any rate, there's no law stopping him from campaigning by mail.
Obama did an extrajudicial killing by drone of Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen who was (allegedly) an Islamist stochastic terrorist. Obama also murdered his 16 year old son as collateral damage in the assassination of al-Awlaki by drone. Seems to me there's laws on the books banning stochastic terrorism if you're a Muslim. Also if you're black, see the MOVE bombing and Fred Hampton.
Stochastic terrorism is only legal if you're a white supremacist or a neo-Nazi.
All these comments comparing this to company scrip are profoundly ignorant, and are downright insulting to the victims of robber barons and capitalism in Appalachia. Google pays salaries in USD. They don’t pay a worker 10 GoogleBucks per ton. Google doesn’t force their workers to live at Google tenements or stay at Google hotels. Hell, they don’t even force you to go into a Google office. All they’ll do is make a note on your “permanent record” at performance review time if you were in the office less than 60% of the time. In coal country, if you showed up at a picket line instead of the mine, they’d send in Pinkerton goons to murder you, and the mayor too.
Call me a bootlicker, I don’t care, but I actually think this is brilliant on Google’s part. Median rent in Mountain View for a 1br is $3600/mo. They’re renting rooms to their high-paid employees for ~15% less than market rent, right on campus, avoiding them from pricing out another local family if all they need is a place to sleep. Sillycon Valley is a terrible place to live. It’s a place to go for a couple years, make a bunch of money, live worse than a broke student, and GTFO as soon as possible. It’s like working on an offshore oil rig, with the gender ratio to match…
Unlike the coal towns’ usurious pricing to a captive market (another day older and deeper in debt), Google is almost certainly losing money on this hotel. They don’t care. They shell out twice as much for a temporary apartment with every corporate relocation package they give to new hires.
Google would like to build more market rate housing to meet demand. Unfortunately, building any new housing is illegal because the real estate cartel runs City Council, so Google takes over an existing hotel and prices it like an apartment. It’s the reverse Airbnb. You love to see it. It’s not a silver bullet. There are no silver bullets when the cartel cornered the local housing market 15 years ago, but every little bit to undermine their stranglehold on power helps. FDR and Stalin were natural enemies, and yet they both recognized in that moment, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Same goes here. Critical support for Google.
Care to cite any examples in the US of prosecutions or civil cases that weren't immediately tossed within the last 30 years? This was once a problem. Good Samaritan Laws were passed to fix it, probably before you were even born. You're just making stuff up.
