I don't doubt there'll be another recession, I just believe this Act will make it deeper and slower to recover from.

Rents are definitely linked, until discretionary income for the local people goes to zero they can still pay more. Housing prices also affect mortgage payments, which rise in tandem. Looking it up, I see USA is somewhere around 30% of incom

Stocks are valued primarily on future earnings potential. This Act would significantly dilute the shareholder control by mandating 40% employee elected directors, and mandating they consider the interests of employees, customers, and commun

Considering how this would decimate the market and cause large amounts of frivolous lawsuits, I can't imagine this passes even pared down. She's announcing this merely to pad her resume before running in 2020. It doesn't have

I've taken Lyft, Uber, and taxis in NYC and don't see how that driver is any different than the rest? Seems to be a pretty regular part of NYC driving in general.

It’s been shown safe in like a hundred academic studies, though drinking it straight would be ill advised. This judgement is absurd and not scientifically based, luckily the judge will reduce it.

Having spent my whole career working in majority women companies, it’s sometimes hard to picture how poor working environments can be. Articles like this give a disturbing insight. Important to remember that the lawsuit is just one side of

The study was more like a survey, that didn’t verify any passwords and was conducted in a light hearted manner. It is indeed garbage. http://www.tmb.co.uk/passwords-for-chocolate/

Ecryptfa is the default for new Ubuntu installs, isn’t it? They might have well just come out and say they were dropping Linux support going forward instead of dance around it. Their focus seems to be on cost cutting and better value extrac

I know you're sincere, but do you see the danger in what you just said? Restricting ideas your mother can hear, based on your assessment of her competency to understand them "properly"? That's a very dark path that does

Miami has a free trolley service that is being actively expanded, supported by both sides of the aisle. It's paid by a sales tax directed towards transit projects, doesn't run up debt, and is widely popular. The idea being that bo

Islam has this same problem, I've seen countless articles over the years about some person or group issuing ridiculous fatwas that are taken seriously.

The drivers don't usually own the medallion, they lease the car for a shift and try to make the cost back by picking up fares. The medallion lobby is strong and politically connected (as we've just seen), so pulling of medallions

I'd argue it's still a strong objection, your solutions require a lot more bureaucracy and would still be filled with loopholes. A couple quick ones: 1. Registering the car in your grandparents name, who have no income, to avoid t

It also gets you regulatory protection, to an extent. Apple is owned by countless pension funds, endowments, likely every politician who invests, and a large % of the general population. Their success is also part success for all those peop

I’d also posit that female ER doctors could as a group, simply be better than the average male. Not inherent to their gender, but because they are a more motivated group to overcome the systemic bias in medicine to get there. If you get to

78 with Seattle’s high humidity sounds like a constant slight discomfort to me. I can handle the heat and humidity and be comfortable, but not while wearing business casual.

Are they ever able to collect those defendants fees? I thought it was common to transfer the IP and file with the new shell company, who would then file bankruptcy in case of an award. Also thank you for that detail.

UBI frightens me (in a dystopian underclass kinda way) but I can't agree more about universal healthcare. Living life knowing you can at any time be bankrupted and homeless from an injury or disease in your household is not the kind of

Yes, it's a program that is at high risk of overexpansion like many others. It would be constantly attacked for not providing "healthy" options like fresh fruit, organic flour, more variety and whatnot. I just wish we could d

I disagree somewhat, this program isn't intended to replace all others, it's just minfood.

I've always thought there should be an essential basics program, where you can always receive an adequate amount of flour, rice, beans, corn, and other basic foodstuffs to survive. I'd also add toothpaste, soap, and other sanitary

You certainly have the academic background and skill to work, but may I ask what you've been doing for the past 20 years? If you've been working in any type of technical or academic role you'll still be a good candidate. If y

My mother used to say that she was part, despite us being able to trace our entire tree back to Western Europe. I always figured it was a popular fad to claim in the 70's.

I got the same impression. While I don't doubt the OP's sincerity, it sounds like a cliche story of privilege. IIRC, Uber/Lyft have shown objective data highlighting the improvements of service to disadvantaged communities an

The terms are also important, and assigning the contract without any competition ensures they will be incredibly one sided.

Anecdote, but having spent years in an open office the amount of emailing and chat happening instead of talking skyrocketed as density increased. Any time anyone spoke everyone else could hear the conversation, so discussions tended to be f

Aren't a lot of these costs baked into all services due to malpractice insurance itself? If these doctors could be sued by some of their patients (the families), they still need to cover the cost of that insurance. Beyond that, once de

So true, but many of the wealthy newcomers do come from Latin America, and the condo towers flying up are funded by Latin American investors for the most part. Interesting place, weathered the recession well and maybe the next.

I think Rhode Island deserves the same rights enjoyed by California, as does Wyoming. Either everyone should get the ability, or no one should.
