Because it's any amount of government spending for one. And for two (this one is more of my opinion than the last one) the US has a problem where we, as a culture, view poor people as somehow morally or ethically broken, which is what

Why? My best friend uses a wheelchair and has dexterity issues in his hands due to a stroke. Exercise for him is (a) expensive and (b) really really really painful. If he could take a pill that simulated this it would be amazing for his lif

People hammer subsidies for farms, but I'd rather not have one bad year cause food shortages the following year when we lose production from shuttered farms. The free market shouldn't control everything.

As a farmer my customer is the grain elevator, co-op, or sale barn. I don't have to hustle for sales, just play the market. At least when I still farmed that's what it was. I answered to myself, not to customers or clients.

Believe it or not, the Internet has not helped people be better in many cases. Sometimes it enables the worst of our personalities to really shine through.

Wave pools fucking terrify me. How can the lifeguards even see if someone is struggling? There's always shit tons of people flailing around and yelling. They genuinely give me anxiety.

Grocery stores absolutely sell sex toys now. Wal-Mart carries them as well. I'm no prude, but it's really weird to me.

That's not really what I asked. What happens if a fraudulent charge happens?

What about fighting charges? In the US, if I flag a charge on my credit card it's immediately cancelled and they deal with it. How does that work?

Left out by society in general, and the modern world specifically. Rural Middle- to low-income folks are who I interact with mostly. No fringe beliefs, just the unfortunate circumstance of being born in places that peaked 60 years ago, but

You took out the comment about people howling about change. Why? That seemed the central thesis of your statement. I would argue that it's not practical to burn the current system down without a plan at all for the next system (like th

It's different perspectives, I've come to learn. The people I know who support this regime do so because they feel completely left out (they're low income so I'm not sure that applies to software developers). When there&

Where I live, 500k would be enough to live my life until I die using basic safe investments and planning. I might not be able to take lavish trips, but I could live comfortably off of that for decades. Do you live in an urban USA area?

No one said uninhabitable except you. OP said that in terms of weather, California is almost ideal for renewables and self-driving cars. California is very, very, very sunny and mild. Many places in the United States are not that for a good

I'm a little lost here. Your argument is that this is part of a grand conspiracy in academia to protect. . . big textile? The thing about conspiracies is that there tends to be a purpose behind them. What would be the point of this one

Not accurate, even slightly. You might get hired as a gopher and spend 5 years trying to do other work if you just blunder in without training or skills. Now, there are certificates and other training that most places expect for blue collar

Outside of actual physical abuse, I give people zero grace to blame their childhood for their shitty behavior as an adult. You should be able to work through that shit. Especially if it was just that Dad didn't hug you enough. It'

I think the biggest problem for those that make it is being surrounded by people who just say yes, and not realizing when that transition happens. If you come from middle- to upper-middle-class and become 1% of the 1%, this switch has to be
