If this is true, why was productivity so high pre-pandemic when everyone was in an office?
663.
by dahfizz 4y ago
How much is that extra productivity worth to you? The majority of inmates are violent offenders, and are more likely than not to re-offend violently. Releasing them early to work is literally trading money for people's lives and safety

I think people are way too quick to "throw the baby out with the bath water" when it comes to prison reform. Yes, private prisons are bad (although, worth noting that private prisons are like 8% of total prisons - a relatively sma

I'm sure the family of the people this guy murdered appreciate that he is not getting pampered with their tax dollars.

You're really overplaying the financial angle. Only 8% of prisons are private. And even then, it's the government that has to pay the prisons. Imprisonment always costs tax money.

Where are the terawatts of batreries coming from? It will be decades before we have the manufacturing capacity to make that many batteries, assuming we have the natural resources to make that possible. Batteries are reasonably priced per un

The UK is nearly there. You can go to prison for social media posts the government finds "offensive".

> Do explain how a kinda sucky car, Model Y, became best selling car in Europe in September and is tracking to be best selling car world wide in 2023. Because gas is obscenely expensive in Europe, so EVs are in high demand and there are

I think this is the future for Tesla as a business, frankly. They should be a manufacturer of batteries and other EV components. Tesla is the king of battery manufacturing. Their EV drivetrains are the most efficient on the market today. Bu

Where is this true? Rain would be more than enough to clean solar panels.

Yeah, I was under the impression you pay more taxes working for yourself, because you have to pay all the payroll taxes normally paid for by the employer. And then there is the corporate income tax you have to pay before you can pay yoursel

If Google forced alternative browser engines off the play store, the EU would jump all over them. Apple gets to break all the rules Microsoft and Google get dinged for, because they are vertically integrated. It feels like a bug in the law

I only recently learned that you can waive your right to a jury, and instead have your case decided by the judge. I think this would be a very tempting option for me, if I ever found myself in serious legal trouble. I assume a judge would b

Ive loved in suburban New England all my life, and I don't know anyone who experienced theft or any sort of violent crime. I leave my door unlocked.

Its polling data, not an actual vote. According to this CNBC poll[1], on the question of "party preference to control Congress", the Republicans come out ahead. Its close, but hardly the landslide Democrat victory you would expect
