It shouldn't be this hard in the first place... Want a strong country? Let anyone who puts 50,000 of your currency in a local bank and has a college degree stay there. I shouldn't need 250K and have a business plan, or 2 million p

Meat is at least more complex/interesting in that it can also directly affect things like human health. I see where you're going with this and, yes, reductio ad absurdum it boils down to basic income and carbon taxes, but meat rat

Fascinating to watch Rybolovlev move money in the open like this with the help of the art market apparatus. What a time to be alive. If you're not keeping track this was almost double the price expected for a da Vinci of questioned pro

It's also my understanding that the passengers they flew in were FEMA workers and 100 or so of the people they flew out were "nonrevs" with seats still open on the plane after that i.e. Most of the people who they flew out wo

We do have a couple independent road systems when it comes down to it. Having built such an extensive paved road system allows for there to almost always be an alternate route to travel if something comes up. Electric grids don't work
