Cars are depreciating assets. They can only be maintained and upgraded to a certain extent before they must be replaced. A public park, a street, a school, these also depreciate, but most of them can not be thrown out and replaced like a ca

The tenant can not do what the landlord did only because they are not already wealthy enough for the bank to give them a huge loan. Even if a bunch of tenants band together to collectively develop a property, a bank will not choose them whe

Now if you want prices to go down, are you really going to do it by trying to decrease demand? What are you going to do, make your neighborhood a slum on purpose? Absolutely nobody is doing that. No matter how nice a place people live, they

The problem can not be solved by trying to manage supply or demand. We must ban the concept of the landlord entirely. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/19/end-of-... A landlord gets a loa

You are out of your mind. Driving a bus in NYC is one of the most difficult jobs imaginable. Maybe someone who drives a big tractor trailer would be more prepared to do it, but someone who has only driven average cars will need extensive tr

Crazy idea here. Why don’t we just have the best of both worlds? We want trains to operate more reliably, and be computer operated with just one or zero humans on board. OK, let’s do that. MTA employees don’t want to lose their livelihoods.

Yes. Science was wrong for a long long time. Science being mostly correct is a relatively recent development, and one of the causes of this problem.

Being a scientist requires adherence to evidence based epistemology. That is inherently antithetical to right wing ideology.

This article isn’t wrong, but it neglects to mention real estate, transportation, and lodging. A party needs a venue, and it needs guests. And the guests need a way to get to and from the venue. If they stay a long time, they need a place t

Yes, go ahead. Be loud and play outside. But I’m pretty sure I have misophonia, so just be loud somewhere not near me.

I used to do this in the early days, then I learned my lesson. I have an ironclad policy that has saved me so much. Do not buy a game, (unless it is literally $0) unless you are going to install it and seriously play it at that exact instan

I’m curious how this can be enforced. If a game requires centralized servers, and the company goes out of business, you can’t force a bankrupt entity to keep the system running. Even if they published an expiration date, if there is no mone

It proliferated in America because of a law in the 1990s called the DSHEA which greatly loosened regulations on what could be sold and advertised. Before then, all this was illegal. Once it became legal it became a multi-billion dollar indu

The logic follows that if experts are in charge, and experts are correct, then we will see positive outcomes from following expert advice. The US, and other parts of the world, has seen some decades where experts have been in positions of a

To know yourself isn’t a matter of choosing one of many paths to arrive at a singular answer. It’s a big puzzle and you must gather all the pieces.

It’s not about understanding something trivial like taste in movies. It’s about understanding yourself. People are out there trying to solve the great mysteries of the universe, but they don’t even know themselves.

It depends how far you dig. Let’s say there’s a movie you enjoy. First a person can describe how it made them feel overall. Then they can identify which characteristics and components of the film made them feel a certain way. What was it ab
