I think the persistence of advertising is an issue overall. I think we are worse off today now that you get bombarded with targeted ads and there's usually a seamless buy now button displayed within them. Preying on whales is exploitin

does NPR have any token conservative pundits or voices on their broadcasts or shows? They do the same format almost all news shows do where they introduce an issue and have two people with opposing views discuss it (there was a recent one

I downvoted you because there's nothing to suggest this viewpoint is grounded in reality, so it's not really worth discussing. His leadership style has always been autocratic & opposition from SCOTUS and his own party is prett

You're still the product. Paying to remove ads doesn't change this. You're still being tracked. Unless something has changed recently, you're still being recommended videos.

You almost answered your own question. The price of things went up, and they went up along with profits . The money went back to the firms who raised prices. It's greedflation. https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksh

This was the expected result for the economic policy that Trump campaigned on and subsequently implemented. The economy would be doing better if the previous admin's relatively hands off policy was continued.

The first two aren't in school. The last doesn't actually require a cell phone. It's worth noting, according to the article, the law gives school officials leeway to allow kids to use their phones in some circumstances. So,

AI can't replace jobs or hurt wages. AI doesn't make these decisions & wages have been suppressed for a very long time, well before general AI adoption. Managers make these decisions. Don't blame AI if you get laid off or

I hope my point was clear. We shouldn't let dangerous drivers back on the road because it would otherwise be inconvenient for them. Designing walkable cities has benefits beyond the obvious, including keeping criminals off the streets.

Even a license suspension doesn’t necessarily change behavior: A federally funded study found that 75% of people with suspended licenses continued to drive. I know part of this is related to sociopathic behavior, but the bigger part of it
