But that is derived from profits from the sale of Alaskan oil. It is not a wealth redistribution program, increased taxes, or reductions in spending elsewhere. Alaska is also a very costly place to live. It's also the only state that

Not everyone gets typical welfare, only those who meet certain criteria. A UBI.. Universal by it's very name.. is given to everyone.

Because Alaska is unique, AFAIK the only state in America that sells something. Everything else is income redistribution. The money has to come from somewhere . It's a very fine line, I agree, but the permanent fund only exists becaus

It would probably cause price inflation. I think if my landlord knew that I was receiving an extra amount of money each month, that everyone got this extra amount of money, they would naturally raise the price of my rent. Retailers would do

I wouldn't call the permanent fund a UBI. It's proceeds from the sale of oil, whereas every other UBI requires some taxation, wealth transfer, or cuts in spending elsewhere.

Agree completely. What's in it for Google? Will they really make that much more money providing news, versus just cutting Canada off?

The article is light on specifics, which I suppose is understandable given the nature of it, but my first question is if is considered state sponsored? If so that would be very incendiary to U.S. - Indian relations and maybe a reason for th

The Oculus space walk. I stood in my kitchen and my wife made a video of me as I wanted around reaching out for things, nearly falling over. It was really amazing. Maybe I am not easily impressed but that was something incredible for me.

Do employers and hiring personnel Google people? Look at their social media accounts? Sometimes a persons demographic can be inferred by data within the application itself, or through an online search. Among my peers it has been discussed t

Youth is easily impressionable. That is not to say pro-Palestine is a bad thing, but young minds are easily impressionable, for good and for bad.

Is this pandering or do these business leaders truly honor and respect President Xi? By all accounts he is a dictator and many of China's governmental policies run contradictory to Western values and morals. This is not to assume that

In California, if you make improvements to your home you are forced into a reassessment and higher taxes. Many homes in California are not maintained and updated for this very reason, since the taxes are set from when the home was purchased

This was fantastic but I understand that Mr. Attenborough would be upset. I would hope that one day my life will be narrated by George Guidall.

I think it goes beyond communism. There is a victim/outrage mentality in some people, and I get the impression they will always look for something to be outraged about. From what I have read of communism it is not based on a personalit

I continue to block ads on YouTube and have had no adverse warnings but I anticipate them eventually. Relevancy of the ads is an issue but I am more frustrated by the quality, repetitiveness, and many times the obnoxiousness of the ads. I w

I have read that composable and biodegradable items will not degrade when they are thrown into municipal waste. This is because the waste is sealed in massive containers and without oxygen they will not decompose. Is this still true? I supp

The new Outlook also uses the Edge browser rather than a stand alone application. I did not like that Outlook was made into a web application, and wish to hell I could remove the Edge browser permanently. I prefer a local mail client.

I am eager to find this kill switch and disable it. I regret to think that it will be baked into the computer but with right to repair movements, and good hacking, we can disable the kill switch. It is an unreasonable intrusion into the leg

Actual title: "Thomas Massie Tried, But Failed, To Stop “Kill Switch” Mandate That Could Disable Vehicles" I think the title gives a little negative slant on Mr. Massie, when the negative charge should be on the failed effort.
