Well sure; I didn't mean to imply that there should be no zoning/housing regulations, only that it has gone too far in some areas, which has stifled development and caused prices to skyrocket.

The reason that supply is not meeting demand is because the market is not free to expand to meet the needs of the people.

But for the fact that those dollars literally do not pay for roads and, when roads need to be built, those dollars will not be appropriated to do so. Other than that you're right of course, totally silly, what was I thinking.

It's not 'weird' at all; if Uber is employing you you will need to maintain a certain number of hours / week. They will likely reduce the number of drivers that they have, but now they also need to ensure that the schedu

There is a difference between and unwitting pawn, especially in a circumstance like that, and someone who acts with full knowledge as to what they're doing. I don't understand why this is difficult.

Yet we're not going to see a big raise because we switch over to a single payer system. It's not unreasonable for people to be skeptical of such a massive change when their current situation works fine (for them.) A change like th

Seems like a difference without a distinction, and I'm not even sure it's correct. If he's acting in the interest of Russia, he's a Russian agent.

You know, kids seem to like alcoholic drinks with sweet flavors as well. Should we get rid of those? How about food that tastes great but is bad for you? Obesity is a massive problem in this country.

Good, we're getting closer now; objective evidence should be the only thing that matters here, not unfounded fear.

The alternative for most is cigarettes. Do you really believe that vaping is worse than that? Are you going to wait another 30 years before picking up a cell phone? What about GMO's? New medicines? Waiting to prove a negative is a sill

Wow, looks like you just solved it! You should go out and preach your gospel to all smokers, drinkers, and beef eaters. While you're at it please solve climate change and make everyone be nice to one another.

It wasn't a pot shot. Gum and patches have abysmal success rates, oral fixation or not. For someone to suggest those as a simple alternative to vaping obviously isn't and never was a smoker. And it is a bit personal; others like t

Too bad their greed outweighs their good will toward the rest of us. Plenty of dev studios turn a profit without exploiting the weaknesses of their customers. EA's actions aren't really defensible.
