The fix is to make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy. The market will rapidly correct to accommodate.

Again, all of those methods in the PBS article are already highly illegal... Straw buying, unlicensed distribution, theft... Shall we make them more illegal? Or are you unaware that they are illegal already?

It's not quite so cut and dried, though. As safety measures are introduced, people tend to increase risky behavior which ends up mitigating the new safety measures. For example, since you bring up roads -- narrower lanes make safer dri

A manufacturer or distributor selling guns "off the books" is already highly illegal. Anyone doing that will incur a fat stack of felonies. Are you unaware of that? Or proposing that we make it even more illegal?

"In the areas I spot checked it was more in the range of $2.5-$3k/mo." Exactly my point. The rent has to be above the mortgage payment by a good deal to make buying pencil out. If, as in your example, the equivalent rent is 2

Renting for less than the mortgage is de facto operating a housing charity or speculating on house price increases. You must rent for a good deal more than the mortgage to cover all the expenses involved. Run the numbers on your scenario wi

You're handwaving a lot more that that -- all maintenance and upkeep. Over 30 years you'll likely have to replace all appliances and the roof at least once, which could easily be 100k on a 600k house. You've also got hundreds

Exactly. The government will send men with guns to get you if you don't pay.

There's been a big move toward overcharging to force a plea rather than a trial.

But you destroy your own point. Everyone on earth is exposed to "doses of radiation" every single second. It's just a small enough amount of radiation as to be benign.

And therein lies the rub. Interpretation vs. legislating from the bench is in the eye of the beholder. Doesn't matter anymore, though -- the majority of people, whether liberal or conservative, don't really care about freedom or l

There's nothing wrong with interpretation, as long as that interpretation doesn't change the original intent. Obviously freedom of the press covers communications in general, already covered several types of communication original

Exactly the opposite. Amendments are the correct way to change the Constitution. Randomly deciding, "oh, we'll just reinterpret the existing language to mean something totally different, and is cool because times have changed...&q

"namely dads, brothers and other close male family members". You're right about it being close family members, but the rest of your profile is wrong. The majority of child abusers are female: http://www.safehorizon

I don't get why this can't happen dynamically and automatically. Detect latency and dropped packets on WiFi and fall back to LTE. Just run both networks side by side and route over the healthier one.

Sending the revenue up the chain only enables graft and corruption at a larger scale, not to mention constitutional issues at the federal level at least. The only solution I see is to make enforcement absolute and trust that enough people g

That sounds like a good idea on the surface but it doesn't actually discourage anything. If the revenue is getting into government at all it still has the same perverse incentives. Case in point: the many small towns that get a substan

I find it also depends a lot on the genre. Music without lyrics, whether that be trance, classical, or jazz can be great for focusing because it drops into the background but the beat drives you forward almost subconsciously.
