There is nothing wrong with adults doing drugs. The USA has a law and morality problem. We, the USA, choose to continue this model despite decades of evidence that it does not work and will not ever work.

I have friends who live there and go on and on about the cheap cost of living. I’ve visited and it wasn’t a place I wanted to live. To each their own. It does seem absurdly cheap.

Android is literally a spyware operating system. It fits every definition of spyware. The same is true of most Google apps and services.

The first chemo gave him six more years. The 50% estimate was for long term survival, which is generally considered to be 10-15 years or more. It doesn’t say what his short term survival odds may have been. Somewhere between 51-99%.

From the article the doctors estimated his long term survival at 50%. So he wasn’t just trading chemo for a few months. He could have lived a long life.

If there is some particular hard evidence that the numbers in the article are incorrect I would expect The Hill to report that. As far as I know it is just hearsay, and that's not news. I would not expect The Hill to try and apologiz

What do you think The Hill should have done here? The Hill reported on the data provided by the state of Florida. Here is the direct report that the article is based on: http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners

In Oklahoma right now you can be unemployed and earning $58,240 in annualized unemployment pay. That number will drop to $27,040 (still annualized) at the end of July unless the Congress intervenes. However, even $27k in Oklahoma would be

Corporate taxes are idiotic. Companies relentlessly dodge them and then individuals can argue against proper capital gains taxes under the BS of double taxation. Just get rid of corporate taxes worldwide. These court battles are such a wast

There are way too much politics and partisans in science, and that is the leading driver behind people ignoring science and scientific evidence. Just consider why a conservative or skeptical person would not trust Covid information. Fauci

Traffic in Manhattan would flow at least ten million times faster if the city would aggressively ticket and tow double parking. I routinely see streets that could accommodate 4 lanes of traffic on each side that are reduced to a single lane

The government can’t get this data unless you make it public. You don’t have a right to privacy on Twitter or in any public space. I could personally scrape this same data from Twitter. These arguments have already been decided. Wanting som

The government can’t chill your right to tweet because you don’t have a right to tweet. Your tweets are public and you don’t own them, not even your own. There is no law restricting the governments right to collect public data.

If you want to argue that the law should be changed then that is fine. But it doesn’t change the current reality.

Twitter is a private platform. You have no free speech rights on Twitter. You have no rights at all, other than the Terms of Service. The Bill of Rights protects you from the government. Twitter is not the government.

This is a cap on the invisible fee that Uber and other companies charge to restaurants. It is not transparent or visible on the consumer end that a restaurant is only getting 75% of the listed food prices. This is, in effect, forcing these

This is the same model that Uber at large is following with the taxi service. The underlying premise is that if Uber can just get a monopoly they’ll finally stop losing a billion dollars every month. I doubt that Uber will be allowed to mon

YouTube TV had enough channels at launch. They kept adding channels that I didn’t want and charging for it. This went from best value to worst value in three short years. Not sure what the old media hacks are trying to accomplish here.
