But does rent go up because the tenants have more money, it did it go up because the cost of everything goes up? When wages increase, the costs of the landlord also goes up. Repairs costs increase, labor in the front office, and the landlor

Kim not sure what schematics have to do with copyright. But removing copyrights will essentially end the era of professional artists. It won't be impossible, but it will be difficult to be an author it musician for a living. The era of

That isn't what it says. It says you have to show proof of the consent first. This makes it super like you can take a photo of anything in public that has random people in the shot

There have been plenty of time I've seen some cute kids doing something cute. But it feels creepy to take pics of kids you don't know, as the main subject. On the other hand if im taking photos of something else, while I try not t

Copyright stifles some innovation. But it also spurs others. Today's copyright benefits the little guy as much as the big guy. But if you moved to a primarily free market only system, the only one that benefits is the big guy.

My thinking is 25 years. The main reason for this, at one point on time it was difficult to get a book on Amazon that was 25 years old. I can't find the research that claims this. But 25 years feels like a decent amount of time as well

I don't think unelected bureaucrats and lobbyists would have more power than they do now. One issue with term limits is that there is some power in trying to get reelected. On the other hand I'm not sure how much that matters con

There are a lot of people who want term limits. Even for their own candidates. I don't think we were ever supposed to have career congresspeople. Part of the problem is they start to lose touch with their constituents. I don't kno

The is another example that is missing context. Both statements can be true. Bob might have done a good enough job for the boss, but not for Bob. Maybe Bob needs to realize he doesn't need to strive for perfection. And if the boss is h

I don't think anyone is underestimating the difficulty. Even if we had boots on the ground one day 1 we might not know more than we do now. But NOT having boots on the ground at all, is negligence. For a year it was verboten to discuss

Do they? Cloth masks aren't very effective and social distancing isn't really going to stop an air borne virus.

by chrismcb 5y ago
If we discovered that the safety rules add laws don't help, we usually abolish them. But they do help. Mask and vaccine mandates don't really help.

No. The unvaxxed aren't driving policy. I live in a county with an almost 90% vaccination rate, and we are one of the few places with a vaccine passport.

Lately a majority of the deaths have been unvaccinated. But that was their choice not to be vaccinated. There is no "civic duty" to be vaccinated (or masked) the vaccine didn't prevent transmission, it really only lowers your
