So this is interesting, but I think the claim is overstated, or at least, this doesn't satisfy the claim that cities are less healthy. This show a positive correlation of an increase in specific mental health cases, but that is looking

A lot of oil produced in the US cannot be used in the US. It's too dirty and so gets shipped to countries with less environmental protections in place.

The existence of shitty countries doing shitty things to their citizens is not enough reason to not do reasonable things in developed countries. And again, f'ing crypto. This is the entire reason for crypto, to execute black market pur

Hardly. If a merchant accepts VISA, VISA isn't about to deny my transaction because the determination of suitability has been made before hand (assuming that I have the available credit). There are certainly cash only markets and the u

No one in the government cares that you are purchasing a dildo. No one at Visa or Mastercard either. There are other forms of currency as well, specifically ETH, BTC, and other cryptos that will continue to power black market purchases. You

$3MM would allow you to easily live on 80k/yr, adjusted for inflation, for the rest of your life. And that's being conservative.

Sanderson would almost certainly not finish GoT. He does high fantasy, not grimdark. There are plenty of grimdark authors that would be far better suited to finishing GoT.

Peloton does not use FT employees to deliver everywhere in the US and I know for a fact that their first-party delivery is a far better experience than when you get third-party delivery.

I think the idea is to have the office space near the physical studio. It's not completely irrational.

The factory part aside, white glove delivery is not unheard of in premium offerings of various items. It makes perfect sense to have white glove treatment for the delivery of Peloton devices, and you can almost always guarantee the customer

You aren't just buying an indoor "replacement" of an outdoor activity. You are also purchasing a coach/work out buddy. It's this latter part that is the differentiator between a normal indoor trainer/treadmill

They also got rid of the child exemption resulting in little change for many Americans. Democrats also went on to further increase the size of the CTC, as well as the refundability of the CTC, and also made it available as a monthly payment

by dlp211 5y ago
While this is terrible, let's remember that there are 50 Republican Senators, many who profess the need for the US government to help everyday American families, who also don't support the expanded CTC.

My hypothesis is that self-checkout created a new way to shop for groceries, that is, less more frequently. I'm certainly guilty of doing this, picking up odds and ends, but I still use a human to check me out if I need to use a cart t

I live in Washington, Puget Sound Area. Kids out all the time, plus no income taxes, reasonable property taxes, and a great, though limited tech scene. The PNW isn't for everyone, but we know how to get outdoors at all ages :).

I, and nearly everyone in my neighborhood let our kids out. I see kids walking up and down my street, by themselves and with their friends every day. Let your kids go out, they and you will be fine.

Free markets are not about just the power to allocate, but also transparent knowledge in a decision. The labor purchaser almost always has an advantage over the labor provider in their transaction and don't actually represent a free ma

While this does happen, this is not normal and CPS isn't going to do anything to a healthy family that let's their kids go out and play.

This is the difference between flat earth and flat Earth. Flat Earther's argue the latter, not the former, though they do use the former as "proof" of the latter.

But they don't do it to avoid sales tax on $100 purchase. They go down there to make $1k+ purchases and avoid $100+ in taxes. The cost to get in and out of Seattle to purchase soda just isn't worth it unless you are purchasing a l

It's far more likely that a consume who is price sensitive to this tax would perform a substitution rather than physically go seek it outside of the city. I'm not saying if they are already out of the city for some reason they wou

Soda is delicious for those of us that like sweet foods. It's certainly not for everyone, but I could honestly drink soda and eat cookies nonstop all day if I didn't limit myself to at most 1 can in a day and purposely don't
