"we make something worth buying." That is interesting. The "buying" ostensibly refers to journalism, which is where IMO the media has failed terribly in the past 2-3 decades. Most of it became too opinionated that the pr

When the American congress was debating their infrastructure legislation, a reason was that bridges and dams needed a lot of investment and improvements. That legislation became law, but how long until the money flows to the improvement pr

Not one word about the CCP's management. Not surprising but it is fascinating to see communists trying to be capitalists.

Maybe the market realized that there is not much value in Reddit? I still don't understand how it turns a profit, but would love to be a fly on the wall when the CEO explains to investors the value proposition.

I attending Montessori and enjoyed it, but this was 10+ years ago. We did not talk about the teacher's personal beliefs and politics, and there was no discussion of student gender or sexuality. It was focused on social and interpersona

It is strange that a person would receive a fine for receiving a letter with a "counterfeit" stamp. That would make for a very nasty revenge operation - send your worst enemy letters with counterfeit stamps to cause them to incur

Can you speak more about the framing? I think diversity should be encouraged, but I also believe to some extent that people of color have been left out of STEM education and jobs due to poor education and opportunities. Maybe a middle groun

I see a lot of similarity between indie book stores, and bicycle shops. Both ebb and flow as seasons, tastes, and availability change, in addition to competing with big box and online stores. They are part of our communities that appeal and

I am not a consumer of marijuana but I was given an edible for exercising with a mate and it did help with pain and feelings of shyness. I enjoyed the workout but I just cannot use it because of my job.

Is this not what Texas wanted? What I think will happen eventually is that the websites will cater to government restrictions in the name of profits. They may complain and protest but the money generated from pornographic viewing online is

@CliffStoll is one of my childhood heroes. I ordered a Klein bottle and he drew a picture on the invoice and it melted my heart. It is now a prized possession framed on a wall next to Kevin Mitnick's business card.

If you don't pay child support they take your drivers license, which means it will be harder to get and keep a job to pay your child support. It makes very little sense. The state should garnish the wages. Taking away the means to get

Fifteen years ago vaccines were not seen as profitable by the drug companies. Then Gardisil was released and the pharmaceutical lobbyists went around urging governments to require this vaccine. Regardless of its effectiveness, it was a drug

Like the plastic industry, the auto industry is much too powerful for government to stand up to it. Could this be accomplished through regulation? That might be an easier bar to clear, but perhaps there is another target: the data carriers

To me the taxis were like an entrenched monopoly. Then competition tried to disrupt the system, but after lawsuits and regulation pushing up costs/prices on ride sharing, taxis will come back to fill the void. Full circle it seems. I c

It's not so much about hating men as it is an increase in people claiming they are a victim of something . Being a victim gives them feelings of power and control, even if it is completely hogwash.
