Sorry for the late response, I've been absent for a while. I'm doubtful that the excitement states of the electron are more than an abstraction themselves; useful mathematical tricks. But that's just my personal opinion.

I would point out that the poor also have been oppressed in feudal and in pre-feudal societies, but I think that's besides the point. Your assumption of "historically oppressed women" only works if you perceive of women as be

So, you are of the impression that men were all able to vote? That's kinda funny. Voting rights were limited to rich men only. Poor men couldn't vote either. Only with the conscription into citizens' armies after the French r

It doesn't matter if nice males make for better fathers if that doesn't improve reproductive success. Quite the contrary. When it comes to human societies; I don't buy that whole "patriarchal social constructs" thin

It's not sexist. It's a statistical observation about human behavior. Sure, there may be females that are just looking for a male who is nice. But in general they are looking for a male who is nice and good looking and has high so

All numbers are purely theoretical; an abstraction. There are no "two gloves", just as there are no "two stones". There's energy in certain configuration and if this configuration matches a certain macroscopic crite

That's how it should be. There's no reason the server's service should not be covered by a reasonable salary that doesn't depend on tips.

by esarbe 4y ago
Tipping is a way for cheap employers to skimp on the pay. It's a horrible practice and it needs to die. You were happy with the food and have the service a tip? What about the cooks and the other people involved making sure you got an

I've been moving from working 100% to 80% to 60% while still making enough money to provide for a family and to squirrel away a decent portion of my salary. I could have continued working at 100%... but what for? I realized I don'

"low-hanging fruits" is implying that other fruits would be available for harvest - which they are not - the IRS lacks the funds to go after these other "fruits". So I'm not sure this metaphor is applicable. > do

That's a very reasonable approach.

You make some very wild claims in your post. Requesting supporting evidence supporting is not a "gotcha comment" - it's a sensible thing to do when confronted with such - honestly pretty conspiratorial - claims. And no; it&#x

Please stop spreading such nonsense. They don't have "a habit of targeting the middle income" people because they are low hanging fruits. They currently target middle income people because the lack the funds to go after the a

Along with both parties in congress. The tax cuts were later extended. There were very few sane minds at the time in the US.

I don't know what you refer to with the "anarchist advice" but I agree that this article is garbage.

That was my impression as well. Seems to be some conservative culture warrior type.

I think you make it too easy for yourself to drop responsibility. "Both parties are corrupt, everything is corrupt, the system is corrupt" is just a cope out. There are efforts to introduce alternative voting systems that make 3rd

Voters in the US have very little actual influence when it comes to national politics. Yes, they have one final vote, but their vote is highly distorted due to systemic issues, like e.g. first-past-the-post. There are 300 million people in

Indeed! Trump winning was to a large degree just a sign of the times; too many people were unsatisfied with the status quo. 2016 had two outsider candidates (Trump, Sanders) and while the Democrats managed to smother their revolt, the Repub

It's almost like humans have a tendency to come to an agreement about what is acceptable speech and what is not and to want these rules enforced. Like when you go into a pub and start yelling insults at the guests, the patron will &quo
