Yup. Metric-driven results. The police, in my area, get rewarded for making arrests--not taking their time to find the actual culprit. So the two concerns overlap, sometimes.

All previous companies I worked for had this clause. I've heard it's not as easy as typed to actually enforce. However, the companies I worked for stated that any personal project "relevant" to company interests belonged

I'm very curious for a breakdown of the reasons for voting for Trump. Like, how much voters fall into something like: 1) Fanatical follower that believes he will do everything he says 2) A vote against the "system" though und

Yes, both of those statements can be true at the same time. But in this case, yes, I'm glad he's backtracking, I expected it for most of his outlandish claims. But now we have someone who says ridiculous things, does other ridicul

A quite ride at speed only really means it's a luxury car. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, et. al have had plenty of experience making cars that can go fast, and they also make luxury cars. In any passenger car, getting in a wreck at 1

I've never understood this. The US has a very peculiar perversion of military worship. It's very, very shallow. Respect the troops! But the Veterans Affairs is one of the most poorly run of the government departments. Underfunded

Sure. But the US doesn't care until it thinks it can use the opportunity to threaten the USSR/Russia. And "overzealous" (not sure how I managed to type overly zealous instead) means staging myopic, sometimes protracted w

Well, in the US, the USDA promoted grains as the base of the food pyramid[1]. But this turned out to be at the behest of grain industries. Whole grains are much better for you than white or processed breads, but they should still only be a

Yup. It's a facade. Especially during the Carter, Nixon, HW Bush, etc. eras, culminating in Bush Jr's "They hate us for our Freedoms" speech after 9/11. No, they hate us for our overly zealous anti-communism that dr

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. Now does everyone just tend toward fixed mindsets as they get old? Or is that just a popular misconception or some sort of selection bias?

I read the post before it was removed. I don't agree with a lot of it (like declaring lists of things true and then qualifying individual items with "probably because"), but I get your point. You have to tread very carefully.
