Yup, better to do it in the USA, where no human rights violations have occurred. This way we can all hyperloop with a clear conscience.

Ezra Klein is unbearable. And their "Explainers" and "Here's what you need to know" posts give me the creeps.

All that stuff is a waste of time, not a good use of it. It's a symbol of "face time" at work, where you have four hours of real work a day so you stretch it out to eight by wasting time. So is coming home and just flopping o

And why would we not want to name the company? That doesn't make any sense.

You one of those who never ever talks to their Uber drivers? Talk to them sometime. Here in NYC, it's their full time gig, requires TLC license and expensive commercial insurance paid upfront. Not to mention the car which is financed.

Thanks to the USA, those body scanners have infected the Australian airports already (for international departures).

As the article says, agents feel empowered to find ways to deny. Be prepared to have all your devices searched too. I'm talking about your photos, your online banking app, your emails, your Whatsapp logs, etc (just happened to an Austr

Yes, it was going on before Trump, but now they feel empowered with free reign to mess with whomever they want. US citizens: don't cower to the bullies. No reason not to be polite, but in the face of aggression, remember you have the r

How does the left wing reconcile its push for UBI, more redistribution to compensate for automation job loss, etc., with an unquestioned belief in immigration or even open borders? You cannot have UBI due to lack of jobs but then also have

Looking at principal balances is all wrong. GDP means nothing in this instance either. What matters, and what lenders look at, is debt serviceability. Lenders don't want principal paid back, ideally you just keep paying interest for li

What if I want to suffer more ? I want to be less okay with all my procrastination, my job situation, my lack of willpower in the face of adversity, and more. I want to take my failures more personally - I want losing to be painful lik

I love fruits and vegetables so the only real limiting reagent for me is having enough of them in the fridge. My thoughts: If you live in a seasonal climate, try to eat in tune with the seasons. Subscribe to a farmers co-op or some sort of

You don't have to show ID to enter security. It's just the most convenient way to confirm your identity. TSA is not concerned and not able to enforce immigration laws. ICE can't just walk up to the TSA ID-checker and say &quo
