I think you're confusing Rand Paul with his father Ron Paul. Ron Paul was a very politically consistent libertarian. Rand Paul, not so much. https://www.ontheissues.org/OTI_Ron_Rand.htm

No, not a governor, a Republican candidate for governor. From the article: "Not only that, the website was designed and built by David Bramante, a realtor and a Republican candidate running for governor in California’s recall election

that's not really a "fall." that's normal inflation. a small amount of inflation is desirable because it incentivizes people to use their money rather than sit on it and let it accumulate value. coincidentally that&#x2

It's quite interesting because conservatives in the U.S. are simultaneously attempting to compel tech companies to host content against their will but at the same time they are trying to argue that these cake / flower / websi

Nope, just the usual raises in my company (2-4% ish). They did however give us a one time grant of some stock shares that will vest in a few years, though.

It was all politicized. That's all. Scientifically speaking, there is tons of evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine.

Yeah, he's also unwilling to admit that his early retirement failed despite having had to begin working again. The goal of retirement is to have enough that you will be able to avoid working even if some things go wrong. Otherwise you

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be happy doing that for quite some time. I guess it might get old after a while, though, which is why I would probably do a semi-retirement bit for a while.

Yeah, my wife and I talk about reaching a sort of semi-retirement state where we can just make some small amount of money and not stress out about money anymore. That will keep us busy but we can take breaks any time we want to.

What we need is a cryptocurrency that is somehow mined by pulling carbon out of the atmosphere.

Hah I worked at a startup when I was younger and it was a terrible experience. The owners basically wanted to us to all work endless hours for their financial gain. They always had the excuse that they didn't have a lot of money but

I wonder the same thing. If you get a chance, try to test the various configurations! I would suspect you will also see different results depending if you have multiple windows or just 1. For example, if you have more than 1 window and ca

Most jobs aren't particularly lovable. That's why they pay you to do the work, right? Your expectations around work may be a little unrealistic. Ultimately, you work to earn money. The thing is, because of supply and demand, yo

Well, you just have less time to develop your career as an actual programmer than you would if you started a bit younger. If you enjoy writing code, why not give it a shot? You will need to prove to potential employers that you can provid

The government typically doesn't mandate companies set their prices to a certain level. Instead, they add taxes that then raise the price of the item. For example, there's already a gasoline tax.

My family was a bit on the fence about the value of having Prime back when it was cheaper. Then when they jacked up the price, we just canceled it. Prime doesn't really add enough value for my family. You can still qualify for free s

I mean a currency that protects you from government intervention also protects criminals from law enforcement. They're just two sides of the same coin. The first banks would have dealt mostly with physical money / gold, so it wou

Haha, some Tesla owners I know have complained about the touch screen. It's not a big enough problem for them to get rid of the car, though.

Yep, same here. The animations are way too slow. For whatever reason it seems to wait like a second after you move to pulse influence. There's no reason it should wait.

the term "moderator" clearly suggests that they are there to moderate the conversation. otherwise they would be called "leaders."

I noticed that I'm a lot less aware of random things that go on in my company. It's amazing how much stuff I used to pick up by just overhearing people and random passing conversations. Another obvious drawback is that my work re

The line being crossed is that usually private citizens offer rewards for "information leading to the arrest" of someone. They don't put a bounty on actually arresting the guy because that's the job of the professional

People everywhere tend to talk about themselves a lot, in my experience. I'm not sure why you think it's only in California. What do people talk about where you're originally from?

Is there a reason you don't cover right-wing billionaires in your examples? For example the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch are extremely influential on politics. In any case, money has always been able to buy political power. That&
