An endless supply? Other countries require workers to support their elderly as well. Are the immigrants going to leave their elderly behind to starve and suffer with no support from their younger generations? Or will they bring their elderl

That more closely resembles an invasion than immigration, but it is an extreme form of immigration I guess.

You said that off-shoring is fast and easy, but on-shoring is difficult (and slow I presume). My point is that this cannot logically be true and creates a paradox: for the other country (China for example), the on-shoring to china from the

How does that concept reconcile with Mississippi having a low homelessness rate and providing housing at a high rate for those that need it despite a non-homogenous population? The key according to this article is the cost of housing, not i

“Offshoring is quick and easy. Onshoring is a completely different kettle of fish.” Offshoring is onshoring in the opposite country, so this makes no sense.

They’ll simply demand higher wages to compare to private sector rates. This is not a static situation.

Edgelords always start out as babies, so … babies commit atrocities. Where does that get us?

Perhaps, but it can show you care that the person get what they actually want instead of another item for the landfill or something they feel obligated to keep around for when you visit.

I’m not buying this overall. Large groups typically order more alcoholic drinks while they are spending more time, which is hugely profitable for restaurants. Also, the more waiters argument doesn’t hold when there are more people/tabl

Foolish move. I’ll bet the restaurant owner loves (fires) the waiters for doing this. It hurts the restaurant and the waiters more than the single customer.

I wish I had parents like yours. Overall, credit is not advantageous to most people that use it for consumerism. Credit should only be used for investments with a commensurate return above the interest rate.

Pouring water from the rich guy’s pool into the public reservoir today; only to fill the pool back the next day. The gesture is there, but no net effect on the water supply. Genius!

Changing the world’s behavior is the most feasible solution? That seems like the least feasible solution. Also, what good is a high quality healthcare system if it is only accessible to a fraction of society?

Sorry, but how is $500 for roughly 3,250 people out of 250,000 applicants “universal basic income”? It is far from universal and, while certainly helpful, it does not qualify as a basic income.

Short term possibly foolish investors are about the next quarter. Long term investors consider far more than just the next, easily manipulable quarter.

Note that number 6 is a special case that clarifies based on a technology. What’s stopping the creation of another clarification based on this technology like “The right to control the use of the work for generating artificial generators.”

Machines do not have rights. That is one distinction.

It’s not about pay back; it’s about helping those in need that once helped you. It also sets a great example for your kids to consider if the day comes when you are old and in need.

Some families in India and other poor countries have pooled almost all of their assets to send a single child to a richer country and/or university. Giving back to them is a moral act of gratitude and love. Wouldn’t you do the same if

This is a brilliant tactic as avoiding being embarrassed in front of the class is a huge motivator. Plus, the value of teaching others is a huge benefit to the student for the subject matter and the practice of communication skills when exp
