How is it even possible to spend that much money on "basic needs"? If your rent is 10k and you spend $250 a day on food, that still comes to less than half of your after tax takehome. That leaves you with 20k to burn after food an

The article pretty explicitly ignores them. It references three classes, Billionaires, Executives at Tech Companies and people living pay check to pay check. This is nonsense. And there aren't not a lot of these people. Many many milli

I wouldn't say I usually get excited about something a federal regulator does but I'll make an exception for this one.

This is an English class, and the teacher is arguing it allows her to give more specific and useful feedback. This isn't some kind of "everyone gets a trophy" thing and I don't thing any one is advocating for this in the

At what standard living? I somehow doubt that any UBI is going to provide more than a poverty level of existence. I'm not trying to live in a hovel with three roommates so I can avoid paid work. If the UBI was enough to provide a good

>mostly high skill labor like many of us or small scale landlords. That's just not true. Doctors, lawyers, small business owners, tech workers. You can't just hand wave these people away.

I was sent to one of these programs when i was 13. Two guys came to my house and picked me up in the middle of the night and traveled with me to a wilderness program in the north georgia mountains. That ended up turning into a 20 momth stay

I understand why this would feel frustrating to a highly educated Kenyan who may have an experience that are very different from a lot of the country and may feel like they aren't personally living a "third world" or "de

This is absolutely untrue. Just a few obvious examples: shakras, crystals, anything "quantum", "vibrations", or harnessing "energy", planet alignment mechanically effecting their lives. I know many new age spir

Of all the things to debate on the internet, this seems like one of the most disingenuous. There are active markets. You can very wasily short or long it. There's no reason to yell into the void. Just go take your position and move on

The article goes out of it's way to address this argument. The cattle could have born, died, and primarily been butchered in another country as long as any amount of processing was done in the US. This would be like if a tree was grown

And remind me of how our current account has trended in that same period. In 91 it was just a bit positive. It has fallen off of a cliff since then. We are drastically more dependent on the ability to import cheap goods in a way that is not

The problem with thinking thhis is dumb (and i think this is really dumb) is that you are automatically revealing your membership in the group who was never going to like it in the first place. I would have thought the NFTs would be sellin

I don't think many American's understand how problematic it will be if we lose the dollar oil market. The rest of the world has to produce and export things of value to create wealth. The US for the most part gave up exporting thi
