This. The cities are actually safer . The chief difference is that the segment of the media dedicated to keeping people fearful, particularly of their neighbors, is enormous now. It was always the case that media liked stories of conflict,

The phrase "most fervently" is carrying a lot of weight in your argument. ETA to make my point clear, it's an inverted "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

I'm with you. I don't recognize the OP's description of US culture at all in the community where I live. Granted, I'm in Vermont, which is not at all typical, but it is also right next to Canada. I lived in Buffalo, also

The fire code typically requires that homes have two egresses so if one is blocked by fire the occupants can still escape.

Nice example, but quis is cognate with who . I'm guessing quod is the closer cognate of what , though quid is the better translation in most (or maybe just more canonical) cases.

The US spends about as much as peer nations on healthcare through taxes. Then it spends that much again in private expenses. In return it gets poorer health outcomes. https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection&#x2F

I'm going to pull out the last paragraph, because I feel the comments up to this point haven't given it enough love: > So, say you’ve written something that feels ranty and disorganized. It’s often useful to retrospectively tur

It's not too expensive; it's too class-coded. The football/soccer, I mean. There are plenty of poor immigrants playing it. And where I live the clover appears for free. Maybe it's spread by rabbits.

If you say "I'm not going to pay the price for that" it implies you think the price is too high. But if you want lower prices you want globalization. The system hasn't "crumbled". The prices have gone up. Where

I'm pretty sure the environmentalists weren't arguing Europe should keep burning fossil fuels so long as they weren't extracted in Europe.

You present tolerance as binary: you are tolerant or you are intolerant. There are degrees of tolerance. If you wish to foster a more tolerant society, you can refuse to tolerate the least tolerant people and thereby make the net level of t

The Green New Deal, as it says in that article, is not a particular proposed piece of legislation but a collection of proposals. Nonetheless, each of these does contain particular proposals. And you didn't pick a proposal, you picked a

The Green New Deal has actual proposals. In other words, it is not a blank check. Writing it off with platitudes is not a serious response. Conversely, saying "Let's focus on high ROI climate mitigation projects" etc. is just

What? What is your answer? I assume by capitalism you mean economic prosperity. Climate change is going to be terrible for economic prosperity. On the other hand, there are a lot of jobs to be had addressing climate change. The problem is

Perhaps, but the way the last cold war ended was by economic collapse. The warrior cultists needed somebody feeding and arming them, so they needed an economy, and their economy wasn't up to the task. I'm pretty sure the folks pus

It's also dark that people respond to being governed by someone they didn't vote for by blockading their country's economy. And that this action is funded by people in other countries who never had a vote in the first place.

This is a little over the top, I'd say. Canada and Mexico are large nations. They just are mostly not in conflict with the US. And Western Europe declining somewhat in relative influence is not a cataclysmic thing. I would say the aggr

I've had sleep troubles all my life but seldom feel tired. I'm hoping this means I just need less sleep. I fear it means early dementia. This keeps me up at night.
