No, but the “typical” person isn’t old. Just like the “typical” man didn’t support 6 people in the 1960s.

Yes but the push towards expansion and financial leverage means that you and your family are out working all day every day. So you have land but you don’t have any fucking time. Beef jerky and Red Bull it is then.

We need places where nobody lives to produce things. You cannot farm acres of land where everybody lives, it has to be done where nobody lives. You can’t raise cattle where people live because the cattle has to live there. I suppose the con

I disagree. There is a pressing need to stamp out the sort of thinking prevalent in GP’s post where armchair quarterbacks post on the internet about how they would solve something when simply reading the article would tell you that the armc

This comment is so out of touch that it almost has to be a parody. The people spending money on scratchers instead of buying groceries don’t ever have the option to have $10k in the bank. These people have probably only seen a comma in thei

I assume this number is similar to casino slot play through where gamblers roll winners forward. Put in $50, win $2 or $5 every now and then and just play it again, next thing you know you’ve “spent” around $100 but only put in $50.

Sorry but this is a ludicrous statement. Beans and brown rice are more "whole" than beef unless you're eating the whole cow? You're not eating the whole bean plant or rice plant. Even looking at brown rice or beans of

Are beans and rice more "whole" than beef? Is beef not a "whole food"?

No, but the large salaries and stock compensation that tech workers have been paid over the past decade certainly should, along with the generous severance packages that are pervasive in the tech industry. You have been living within your m

This is true of almost all equitable remedies - you have to show that money won’t make you whole. Luckily the bar for that is much lower than for contractual disputes, especially disputes like this where an ongoing violation of someone’s st

Specific performance is a contractual remedy. It is rarely granted because contracts are usually about business arrangements, and you can solve most of those problems with money. So for contracts the usual remedy is monetary damages. Courts

There is no such thing as “stronger” standing. You either have standing or you don’t. It’s the rule almost everywhere that a party to a contract can seek a declaratory judgment regarding the contract without breaching. This idea that Epic h

The question you should be asking is: would execs still exist? And we know the answer to this from before the advent of corporations: yes, just as tycoons and barons with barely any checks on their political and financial power instead of a

And because Elon isn’t going to be granted his bonus shares, even more of that will go to others shareholders instead of to Musk. And that’s the point. Let 10 be “no value to other shareholders, all value to Musk” and 0 be “all value to oth

This is a silly comment as your state-equivalent EPA standards do change with every state. The federal EPA’s standards are a minimum. Many states go above that minimum to varying degrees. California is notorious here: they’re called CalEPA.

So your definition of a bailout is "entities that received money under TARP plus Fannie and Freddie." This is a strange definition and it means that the last bailout that possibly could have happened was on October 3, 2010 per h

This list includes companies that received <$10,000 (and which was paid back entirely, for example the one below). It sounds like any amount of money from the government is a bailout by your metric. Or perhaps your definition is more na

A bridge that is operated and maintained by a private party for 30+ years and whose tolls also go to that private party is, for all intents and purposes, owned by that private party for those 3+ decades. WDBA's ownership and oversight
