UBI will never be successful because it short-circuits the innate need to survive. Many people are not self-leaders and some will turn to drugs when they have no purpose to live. In this case, you've taken away their ladder to climb wh

If anyone here is "losing it" from your routine being destroyed and your city being shut down, I highly, highly recommend you take a week (preferably 2) off and do as much outdoor activity as possible. You should not return home d

I thought this article would be relevant given the current political climate. This covers a historical event in which the police were out-gunned and the aftermath playing an important role in the gear-augmentation of police forces. WSJ arti
