Your definition for capitalism is correct, but might be missing the key point: > Capitalism is the use of markets as the primary method of resource allocation within a society. http://www.americanteeth.org/2015/06&

It seems like there needs to be a shorter/quicker program for pharmacists. Fully trained pharmacists do have a lot of education invested in them, so of course they can jump the island go somewhere else. I feel like a small certificatio

Thanks for the background! That does explain the motivation a lot more. It does, however, seem wicked racist and even rude that the primary goal of districting should be to get a candidate of a certain race.

Hmmm. Yeah maybe 85db is pretty low. There is some threshold that I feel pretty confident about, but I don't know what number it actually is. Looking here: http://www.webmd.com/brain/tc/harmful-noise-levels-t

So, I often listen to podcasts in bed with earbuds. It's night, and it's quiet, and I've found that I actually _bottom out_-- I'm at the lowest volume setting, with the next lowest being "mute", and I wish I co

Yeah, I agree. I wish that venues and soundguys would just fucking lower the volume. I definitely avoid a lot of venues for simply this reason! I'm starting to think that people at venues ought to be able to sue venue owners for any so

Ah, cool. I'll absolutely grant that racism, sexism and agism are all acts of superiority. And "superiority" is a really good way to enrapture the idea of these different biases, that makes sense. Buuuuuuut you posted in a th

It's not a strange conclusion at all! You're saying that all social problems stem from a desire for superiority, and you're including income inequality as a problem, so anyone who makes more than average is greedy, and you&#x

The author might have been using Wal-Mart as an example, but in general there's a trend in the American political left to shit on Wal-Mart because of the reasons given, and because they're a gigantic business. It gets kind of tin

You're not wrong. But lol, the spite runs both ways, and Krugman is a notable source of it.

No, we get mad at those too. Trust me, if I could I would shred the IRS Tax Code and simplify it. I also canvassed in Des Moines, Iowa in 2008 for a presidential candidate who was _not_ in favor of farm subsidies, and was especially against

I read most of this article and skimmed the rest--- there doesn't seem to be a consistent thesis? Allowing soda and other "junk" food maybe isn't the best thing, and I'm sure there is some mild bed-sharing between K

I think the path to take would be to add this feature into the library CMS systems out there. Sell it to libraries as an add-on plugin as a way to drive engagement with the library.

Portland or Seattle is a wise move. Places can still expensive, but an expensive place will get you somewhere actually central. And at worst the commute will be smaller even if you do live farther away. You should look into it! I'm a
