"Good for society" in my view is a measure of what is lost compared to what is gained. It is good when that ratio is a positive number. Removing the content entirely seems to be a pretty clear net negative.

>But why not work with the institution to hammer out a timeline to meet certain standards and while allowing for people to still access the information? I suspect very little of this actually has to do with helping the disabled, if that

Am I to understand that your argument is while India has a culture of corruption on the lower levels at the highest levels of government and business they do not?

In construction we have a phrase "a dime holding up a dollar". It is up to you to decide if you are a dime or a dollar in each situation.

Certainly you agree that its easier to get something like this done in India though? Roughly half of the population[0] there has paid a bribe at some point in time. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India

I was the Sysadmin for a number of medical offices. I did a brief stop working in a colourant lab prior to that but cooked for nearly a decade prior. Thank you.

I think the best dates are essentially free. Go to a park with a bed sheet with the lunch you were going to eat anyway for example. That's only bus fare or gas as an input cost. Going to a bar and screaming over the music while you get

I think the problem is a lot of people go "I agree with essentially everything this newspaper puts out, thus this is great journalism!" when really good journalism would likely have you disagreeing with it as much as you agree.

Also sort of explains the recent rise in gender dysphoria and why male to female is much more common than the other way around.

It seems to me that communism would make that problem worse, not better. If the state is the breadwinner in your family, why do you need men at all?

The ones that did vote likely voted for Trump in order to bring manufacturing jobs back. However misguided you may of believed this to be, the Democratic candidate said things like "We are going to put coal miners out of business"

I spoke to a divorce lawyer and as someone getting married in a few months I asked him what made marriages fail. He said that "It's mostly out of your control, when men come in it is mostly because their wife has been unfaithful.

8,000 years ago they estimate that 17 women reproduced for every 1 man[0]. In a society without work for most men, I suspect a similar ratio to arise again. Especially if we continue to tell young men to stop behaving like young men in orde

Also the entire purpose of the Raspberry Pi project is education. I'm certain they would work with anyone using them for that purpose.

> Passenger rail is currently a tiny and largely ignored minority of overall traffic. Exactly. Why do you assume it can scale to the point that it can replace all other forms of transportation? Rail is only cheap and efficient because th

What roads would public busses use if the ones created by those subsidies didn't exist exactly? Do you propose some sort of all terrain bus? Or shall we build train tracks to everyone's home? Won't that be lovely in the dead

I suggest you look into the history of that. Rail lines created massive monopolies that had a stranglehold on American businesses until the creation of highways. Why are goods even transported via trucks if rail is such a viable and cheaper

> Except, you know. Less drunk driving, less traffic, less pollution, fewer road fatalities, and less tax money spent on road maintenance. Those little things. How do people who are not served by public transit feel any of these effects?

I agree but the issue becomes any sweeping legislation or tax increase to fund such a program will negatively many millions of people without any benefit to them. These people are marginalized already and can't take a hit like that so

This only works in what, 5 - 15% of the US? Public transport isn't viable for commuting in most of the country. If you factor in time and the raise in tax required to subsidize it there it is likely that it is more cost effective to ow

I've tried moon rocks, edibles, concentrates, vaporizers, bongs, stream-rollers, hash, and anything else you can name. You only get so high.

That is patently ridiculous. The vast majority of firms that you give your dollars too have direct competitors. They may not prefer to have competitors, but neither do you when applying for jobs or bidding on a house, that is pretty basic h

Perhaps that lack of social support (and thus lower taxes) is the very reason why the US is not in the same situation as the Eastern EU.

It may have been that debt that ended up on the books, but what do your monthly expenditures look like in terms of vehicles, eating out, entertainment, etc? If you have cash on hand to pay those expenses you have cash to pay your debit. Thi
