It's easy and it should be done, but I don't think it will be that effective. Mortgages come with other rules. If you can't come up with 20% down, you pay mortgage insurance. If you have limited ability to pay it off, you don

I think it's more that students are allowed to take loans that they can't possibly service. Since you can't get out of loans via bankruptcy and the loans are backed by the federal government, loan agencies have no reason to

That would be a great idea. Universities won't do this unless they're legally required to. Student ignorance drives their business model.

America is already finished. In my country, you can work in a warehouse. You get job security, full health coverage, and 18 per hour. There are worker safety regulations that actually get followed, regular breaks, shade, and ppe provided if

I'm not in the states, but if I had a high school age kid I think I'd do anything I could to get them a better summer job than McD's. The money isn't the point - they're going to end up competing with adults for re

If I was homeless in LA, I still wouldn't work for 16 bucks an hour in the hot sun around dangerous chemicals with no benefits in the middle of nowhere.

It's a good description of the type of people I like to be around. By extension, it seems like a good way to be a person who makes friends easily.

Well is material, since OP specifically said this: > please state why you want to fund people who are living in the US illegally Which I addressed. I also stated that the fact they're here illegally is another matter. This was the l

That definitely sucks. Thanks for the headsup not to get one of those though!

My dream is to study urban planning. There are lots of masters programs, but no undergraduate studies, and I don't have BA, only a technical diploma. I've been trying to figure out a way to do this without resigning myself to 6 ye

I don't think anyone wants to fund them, and we aren't. We pretty generally agree that they contribute more to the economy than they take out of it. The California agricultural economy would collapse without them since employers c

That's a great idea. Did she have to do anything in particular to meet their entry requirements?

No, you don't sound like an ass, but I feel like I've been where you are and have a bit more perspective to add. Circadian rhythms are a thing, and eating within a time window may have a great effect for some people. I'm alre

Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this question (statement?), but maybe you should think it through some more, edit, and make it a blog post? Some interesting ideas.

Weird, it sounds defective. Have they tried replacing the unit?

I also did some reading about vitamins last year and ended up taking vitamin d for a while, then magnesium for a while. My method wasn't any more scientific than that, but the vitamin D had no noticeable effect, while the effect of mag

We can only conclude that you were making expensive choices when you lived in Vancouver.

Yep, that's exactly the thing I'm talking about. You'd think they could hire one deaf person at their labs to road test the things, but... On my hearing aid it's a "feature" that can be turned off. Too bad you&

John Oliver?

Which one have you got? I know what you mean with the "helpful" bullshit. My conventional hearing aid, on my left ear, has this "smart" mode where it tries to detect speech vs noise, and change the volume or the directio

Are you only counting detached homes? There are very few of those in Vancouver proper. If there are any, they are mansions. Do the same comparison with condos? And apartments?

I was being facetious, and yes, we do absolutely have racists, and yes, most of the people in our prisons are not white (they're First Nations, in our case). Even so, we don't quite have the same legal system that seems to systema

by Kluny 10y ago
Yes, but you get healthcare and being non-white isn't illegal, so that helps. Also - not really? The highest federal tax bracket in Canada is 33%. The highest in the states is 39%. The highest provincial rate in BC is 12% and that&#x27

If you're complaining about the price of Vancouver real estate, it hardly makes sense in this context where San Francisco is the alternative.

I guess the way it is now, property taxes go into a common municipal budget and then a share gets put toward road maintenance, right? I wonder if it would work to reduce property taxes by the amount that's currently spent on roads, and

I think I'd do like Charlie Brown did and set up a "Psychological Help - $5" booth.

I went looking for you. The guidelines appear to have been updated since last I checked, and are no longer as irresponsible as I thought they were. Here's what I found: (easy version) https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose&#x

American doctors follow national guidelines, because if they don't they expose themselves to malpractice suits. The guidelines currently say that if someone is in pain, give them as much painkiller as they want. Their ability to use th
