I guess it is a good description of politics, in that didn't people have different ideas on how to solve our problems. I think drugs, for the most part, should be decriminalized. I think prohibition taught us that. In the other hand dr

People tend to contest the result because they feel the result was wrong or miscounted. Not because not everyone voted. I don't see how that changes if everyone is forced to vote.

My anecdote... I thought I might have got it in Jan 2020. Keep in mind I frequent a fast food place that is across the nursing home that had one of usa's first deaths, at about the same time. It definitely felt different than other tim

The contact patch is the portion of tire that is touching the road. A wider tire should have a smaller contact patch... Maybe. A wider tire means the force can be spread out more and should deform the tire less. So the front to back dimensi

Why? The loan didn't get paid back magically. It isn't going to get paid back by other loans. It will eventually be paid with taxable income.

A tax on wealth is heinous, and in the long run won't work. First of all, how do you define wealth? An average over the year, end of year, middle of year? Who defines it? Part of the problem is wealth doesn't really mean anything.

By definition a stock is not a liquid asset. It needs to be sold first. In order to be sold, you need a buyer. You don't always have a buyer.

No, the first sentence does not imply that mailers use the same underlying "render a view" mechanism. I would argue it implies the exact opposite, in the mailers are just another way to render the view. The two sentences mean the

Pro sports definitely has casting. It isn't run quite the same way as casting for a movie or show, but there are definitely similarities. Pro sports are entertainment.

Why? So the will industry can make more money? If this was the default, almost everyone would immediately set up a will to give everything to their children . A lot of people want to provide for their spouse and children, even after they ar

It sounds like you are playing right into the OPs hands. Misinformation comes from both sides. And both sides tend to believe what their leaders tell them. You claim the best majority of the right believe the election was stolen. Joe many p

I hear this all the time "masks have proven to be incredibly effective" Have they? Data didn't really bear that. And there are tons of studies that day, for the lay person, we don't know. Or they say n95 and surgical ma

We aren't. It just takes time and money and people. To have it declared unconstitutional would require taking a case to the supreme court. But we can change the law. Write a law, then get enough people to vote for it

US hasn't fared that badly, they are in the middle, as far as per population goes. But that isn't really the point, it maybe it is. The point is that comparing California and Florida, they did roughly the same, despite attacking t

It makes it harder for me to communicate. If you want to wear a mask, that is fine, it is your perogative. But people should be aware of the risks, and I don't think most people do. Many people wear masks because they were told too, de

Part of the question is just how effective are masks? Is wearing a mask while vaccinated better than not wearing one? As for me, being hard of hearing, I hope people will stop wearing masks sooner than later

That graph makes it look like Miami, Orlando and San Francisco are all about the same. Which is kind of the point, that masks maybe didn't really help.
