It is clear cut though. What we call the Democratic party today used to be called the Republican party. It has zero connection to today's Republicans.

>Yes, in all votes, by percentage, more democrats opposed the civil rights act than did republicans. Yes I'm sure that's why all those Democrats are upset at tearing down Confederate/traitor statues... Definitely the same

I don't think I called anyone a Nazi. Why don't you stop making up things that people didn't say. Let me know when you're ready to get there and we'll try this again. Also, instead of whining, consider critiquing th

Most Americans are going to learn a very different way of life. Either they can start living sustainably or they can start living with the consequences of unsustainability. Those are the only options. Electric vehicles are not going to fi

I'm not saying anything. I'm relaying what everyone who studies global warming has said. I'm not "championing" anything either. I am relaying the science on global warming which indicates that if we continue dow

Which is a great example of why we should be taxing cars more to reflect all of their externalities. There probably shouldn't be three car families.

Increasing the diameter proportionally increases the exit pathway through which you can shift earth out of the tunnel. Obviously there are complexities in the field that I'm not aware of but these seem like problems you can engineer ar

Stating the obvious: you won't be able to buy a $20 burner without an ID and deposit if it can cause your carrier to incur a $1000 fine.

This isn't a reason that the feds couldn't do it, though. (The federal government only deals with one kind of taxes: federal taxes). It's only an argument that the state and local governments would need their own, parallel sy

Are you serious? And leave a child to suffer from the many thoroughly documented problems of obesity? I'm not sure what you're getting at. Your proposal is that you should keep stuffing a fat kid with unhealthy food because he wan

Sure but couldn't a person just serve smaller portions? Like if your kid is getting fat just take what your normally serve him and throw part of it in the trash (or refrigerator). If he's still getting fat take a bigger part from

I don't think anyone is abolishing the suburbs just yet and I don't think most urbanites care that much about how you live your life out of the city. It's most that for those who choose a fully urban life, when do we start to

A person with $10M in wealth should be earning $500k a year taxed at capital gains rates. This person does not and will not ever live like a mere mortal (unless for show or sport). Assuming he's not an idiot, the $10M guy would have to

And the prices are deeply out of whack for large numbers of homeless people, broke people, uninsured people, people with unhealthy commutes, etc. Yes there are plenty of bankers, yuppies and Russian billionaires to account for much of the c

NYC is definitely an example of a housing imbalance. It has nothing to do with UMC types not wanting to live in Harlem. It has to do with the fact that prices are ridiculous throughout the city. The quality of building you get for what you

Exactly. It's not an experiment you can run based on your own anecdotal experience.

It's good to hear you've made great improvements. If it makes you feel any better, part of your retention may just be a product of being older heh.

I think I agree with everything here. I'm not saying no useful information can be derived. However the risk of the placebo effect or just general healing are hard to rule out on the limited information here. (Maybe OP's brain inju

Unless you ran a double blind experiment, you can't really know if it hastened recovery.

The claim is that everyone supports everything, no? Presumably these protesters did not support what they are protesting against. Do you disagree? Are you familiar with the Tiananmen Square protest?

I don't care how it affects fashion. You asked why you're being downvoted and I explained why.

I'm guessing you're being downvoted for the pretty uninformed, tone deaf statement below. >In China, everybody fully supports the government, don't they? I mean that what the Party does, has 100.00% approval rating at all

Yes and no. Many cities have not stopped growing. And New York is quaint compared to many metropolises these days. New York stopped building infrastructure due to government and politics, not some sort of natural law. If a city grows enough
