Maybe there's also a concern about losing farming knowledge in local areas. This is a speculation since my general assumption is that as one of the oldest, most studied professions, we have more than enough knowledge socked away on it.

That's pretty much how my grandmother manages her land. A guy I went to high school with now plants and harvests it. The normal stuff: soybeans and corn. An orchard would be sweet.

To take it further off-topic, anyone on a cell phone while checking out or delaying the line at the grocery store gets an evil eye from me. That goes for you too granny that counts out every penny! :P

Yeah, that's kind of bullshit. They send their kids to public schools and maybe public universities later, drive on public roads, use water, electricity, etc. They also have a place where they buy seed, animals, neighbors they attend c

Yes, a lot of this can be mismanagement at a state level. If you don't like what you're getting on a state or federal level, vote, campaign, cause a ruckus, etc.

I don't see them presenting it in a negative, just a fact, and one not understood in rural areas. If you believe in wealth distribution, then richer coastal or urban areas should help out their brethren in the rural areas and spread th

Well, that's why I was posing the question to you since you seemed more knowledgeable about all this. I've only started to take time to catch up on this since the past weekend. Not to invest/speculate in the currencies but I

Instead of the speculative market, why hasn't any of the coins been pegged to a currency like USD or Swiss franc so that it can actually be used more as a currency? I've read a little about Tether, and that some of the others in t

Yes, that's what I did after leaving my last job and read up more on IRAs. For retirement savings, the plan is for index funds. I was more annoyed by the max on IRAs since a lot of the companies I've worked for have either not off

Thanks. I wonder how that would work out in LA where we already have high rents, high houses prices, and lower wages. I don't quite know how much one can deduct off their mortgage in taxes but I would assume the imputed rent would be a

I see a lot of customer support / customer success jobs on the remote boards. It makes sense given that can be email, chat, or phone from anywhere. Also, it helps companies spread across time zones. I can't recall analytics jobs b

Have you worked with any gang/police task forces to get their perspective? Maybe there's something you can start that doesn't rely on a whole lot of money.

Same here. Not sure when I first watched the movie - sometime in middle school - and I can picture and feel the whole thing. Maybe something I've still been chasing in creating emotion in my own works. Thank you for adding the parts ab

But American society as a whole encourages that behavior. It's not just education.

I was a bit miffed to learn that the max contribution for an IRA and Roth IRA combined is only $5,500. I did some reading and understand the point of it but I would much prefer to be in control of my own money and where it is invested than

I agree with you and I think that's why, despite good intentions, this fund might be a little misguided. On their site they discuss how they are sticking w/ the tried and true of what they know in terms of VC investment in tech co

From a practical point of view, SF is expensive to live in so being 'obsessed' with salary might just be practical. Being able to know the range your in is also good, regardless of location, for not being taken advantage of, espec

I'm aware but if there were a central place then, as iamthirsty replied, English would most likely end up the default there. This was to help support k_ and eclectic's points. Honestly, it might be interesting if there were a cent

It was sold as a comedy but never seemed to attempt it. It's a pretty direct Trek rip-off but HAS gotten significantly better since the first few episodes. Not part of the great television trend, just moved from 2/5 to 3/5 in

I'm with you. I'm luckily 'stuck' in my studio ($1221/mo) but at least it's a nice area, near a subway, and central to a lot of job opportunities. Even though I'm looking for jobs, I really can't cons
