I am totally open to the idea as espoused in the comments that poverty is not about money but about decisions and mentorship. Can I ask if anyone can actually point to any studies to highlight that? The linked article is very well sourced a

It is possible that in non-emergency situations, the vast majority of situations, a hospital may deny or change the quality of care based off of your likelihood of paying it off. No one knows the difference between a "medical" cre

"Pretty much all of my friends with kids the women went back to work within a few weeks and the men didn't take time off." Yes, but statistically, PPD, surgery, year-long health problems, etc. are common among women. And we

Yes, and I am indicating that, to the idea that 24/7 childcare indoors to be the optimal case for women as according to one's own lives, I am arguing that may not be the case due to social isolation.

A downpayment in the most exepensive place to live in the nation, but of course, given the massive income inequality in america! I'm super confused here. EDIT: How is 30-40k/year not enough for a child unless the child is special

I don't mind that ZeroHedge as it often cites news that isn't picked up on MSM. However, I have a massive concern about the bias in ZeroHedge. I remember once reading an article in which the final lines are something bold and alon
