In any other decade this would be by far the largest political scandal in US history, with non-stop mass media coverage, endless investigative journalism, universal public outrage, pop culture shaming, politicians resigning en masse, and cr

I've got two teenage boys and an 8 y/o daughter and this headline alone hit hard . The boys increasingly have their own lives and a growing amount of independence (which is good and we allow/encourage) but these days, scroll

I remember years ago when I was studying various aspects of the health insurance market, there was one thing that really, truly alarmed me: the amount of Medicaid money spent on pregnancy-related care. It was shocking to me. Pregnant women

You don’t need to be an energy historian here, you just need basic objective thought and not being a member of the climate doomsday cult.

Ha, thanks. Seriously, this was not a run-of-the-mill journalistic mistake for which one apologizes for and moves on. This was so brazen I couldn't even believe it at the time, my assumption was that he was short Ubiquiti's stock

I’m still bitter about this. The story absolutely reeked from the beginning and Krebs did nothing but unnecessarily sensationalize it like a tabloid journalist. I got downvoted a million times over when I pointed this out at the time, why I

The fed is going to try to put the economy into a recession by jacking up rates in the hopes that it eviscerates demand which will (maybe, but I don't think so) bring inflation down by balancing supply and demand. Fun times.

Seriously? Let's see, the two industries where the government has gotten deeply involved, healthcare and education, are so comically expensive one doesn't even know where to begin. How in the world is complete government subsidiza

I’ve researched this extensively and I don’t agree, so there’s that. This is a common insidious tactic of the media…pay attention to how presumptuous they are especially in headlines. I can’t even keep track of how many baseless claims they

Everyone else seems to have covered how cringe this was, how inauthentic it was, how this guy just made it about himself, etc. All true. I would add that I don’t see how a person this weak could ever be a successful leader/CEO. Sorry m

Unless I’m reading this incorrectly, it sounds like she simply got into a skid after trying to overcorrect on final. This is one of the BIG no-no’s in flying, it gets a lot of people killed every year. Sounds like skids were especially dang

"Declaring the economy in or out if recession does not help anyone outside of propagandists and journalists." Correct. This is exactly why the people who are altering the definition are entirely propagandists (sometimes known as

I say this to people frequently: don't confuse the way things are vs the way you wish things were. It seems to be the source of so much poor decision-making and misery.

Pilot here. The MSFS flight model is so bad that I found it actually counterproductive. Also, the avionics are awful, they basically have a dozen of the most basic functions and that's about it. It's more like a game, not a sim. A

"bad faith" yet every relevant stat which you'd measure the health of a city, arguably the largest one being population gain/loss, is going the wrong way. So the whole argument about this being some sort of made-up polit

The crime issue is debatable based on various stats, and I would tie partly into my general comment about the culture having become uglier, but to me it felt like violent crime was a smog cloud constantly over the city. Sure, the odds of so

Former Chicagoan here. Grew up in Evanston and lived in Lakeview area for almost 20 years. We moved to a small town in Colorado a few years ago. Chicago is just constantly running against the wind. Violent crime is a game-changer (property

Good for Ubiquiti. Krebs' reporting on this was beyond scummy, just a total disgrace.

Religions are belief systems that cause all sorts of wacky outcomes in the real world because the beliefs are based on the way they wish things were instead of the way things are. If more people understood that this is simply a novel religi

Nope. Not even a little bit close. The world gets better for everyone every day. What you and many others dislike is that it gets better at different rates - sometimes vastly different - for different people. Watch out for that envy, it&#

What you're missing is that we're eventually (arguably right now) going to be referring to colds and other weak mutations of COVID as "COVID" still, and by virtue of still calling it COVID and still having these COVID da

My theory on gift giving is to get the person something they probably want but normally wouldn't, for whatever reason, buy themselves. Like a nice bottle of wine, a lot of people would love it, but would also feel silly spending money

I'd say that of the endless studies and pieces of data, 90% indicate masks do nothing. All pre-covid mask studies concluded they do nothing...there was even a paper about why people in Japan wore masks despite them doing nothing. The t

I'm from Chicago. The difference in the amount of crime vs what gets reported on in the Trib and local news is astonishing , and the number of people I know (myself included) who have left Chicago in the last couple years is wild. So,
