you're right but judgmental statists get high off the feeling of control and "fairness" - effectiveness be damned. I thought we absolutely needed the government and taxes for the roads because paying for use would be so &quot

The welfare administrators pay no price for being wrong and thus the waste, fraud, and abuse has collapsed them all, throughout all of history. > Welfare programs mean that life expectabcy is higher, as is quality of life. The US for exa

This just tells me they don't understand why any of those things were created and how to actually use them. It won't get traction and it'll wallow and get stale since it'll be an unmaintainable project. Also, VSCode is b

I would say this is archaic, luddite and unambitious thinking. Did the need for labor decrease after the lightbulb, electricity, or the telegraph? Or did Quality of life go up while projects expanded in scope and we accomplished greater thi

I think the moderation has gotten far, far better. With dramatically less abusive behavior/speech misinformation - and way more informative. Facebook/instagram/reddit/etc are way way way worse. That moderation team must

Not that I even agree, but I guess the point is that someone so highly paid should be able to find solutions that don't at least feel unfair. I mean most people pay for cable and there's not even a way to not have ads and they inc

I hate this type of "wrong" comment. Alabama obviously produces a ton of crops as do most of the states. After googling for 2 seconds, I even found Alabama is 2nd in the country as far as peanut production.

I've been programming 20 years and I use one of these combined sans/cursive font setups. I like less legibility for certain parts of the code - like keywords/decorators that I can recognize instantly but want to skip reading

I don't know. Are they? That was partly my question - which has not been answered despite the claims confidently made above. Ad revenue being down doesn't strike me as making it a sinking ship. Is revenue not down off its peak for

How's that? If someone says "why am I so overweight?" do you say that it can't be the eating because that hasn't changed?

> Food prices and related prices have been proven for awhile now to be mostly corporations massively increasing profit margins instead of inflation Total nonsense. Businesses are closing .

Well... How are medical prices? Education prices? Food? Energy? Savings? Rent? Housing? What about the massive layoffs? Even if you're not struggling - many others objectively are dealing with the realities of a harsh economic downturn

So then it's not a recession solely according to NBER - and this departs from their characterizations for the last 60 years before this last election cycle. "A recession is a significant, widespread, and prolonged downturn in econ

"I'm not obese because I've been over eating. I've always over eaten" The printing isn't new and neither are the recessions. They're just making them worse.

Kind of - but it ignores the fact that the tightening was to fight inflation due to insane amounts of government spending. And the government just upped the ante and is spending more. Right now the national debt is growing faster than the e
