Something can happen in the world and not be the causation for the other. It's totally possible.

You seem to be advocating giving people that don’t live somewhere power over people that actually do live there. This feels quite backwards.

I don’t think you’d find anyone saying an ad campaign is free. A grandparent comment is saying a coldcall/email campaign is free.

Having a lot of users doesn’t make one a monopoly. Having the only way to communicate makes you a monopoly. People can type in www.cnn.com and get their news just fine.

It'd be hard to pass a law that requires individual environmental improvement, but it seems pretty obvious that a law saying to ignore it is the opposite of the state constitution.

None of the general forgiveness ones require any type of employment. Anyone can join the latest program SAVE. There is no income limit and your payment can be $0 and considered in good standing. It's all based off of your income. I

Various government student loans can be forgiven through a few different programs. The IDR, IBR, PAYEE, REPAYE, and now SAVE all have forgiveness dates after X years. The newest program, SAVE, forgives after 20 years of payments. These a

UPS has a lot of fixed costs and doing less business could hurt them more than making less profits. They have to start paying higher wages now because of the deal they made. Their customers likely can't absorb higher prices as quickl

Genuinely curious, how does taxing carbon increase economic efficiency?

Ok. I test drove a Rav4 and could not fit with our car seat. I could not fit the car seat behind me in our Acura TLX. I am not exceptionally tall.

Shareholders are the owners of the company. I would think that's where you'd actually want the fines to hit. The shareholders should be responsible for putting in sensible leadership that doesn't get them fined.

I drive by the dealer everyday. 2 currently there. Personally, I've found dealers don't honor lines. One salesman told me that when they got the car I was looking for in stock they start calling people and the first person to p

I sure am glad no one needs to justify their car purchases by you. Daily use of a pickup with extreme volumes sounds like an unreasonable high bar for justification. What if it was every other day?

Most carmakers don't sell most of their new cars on the order it and it shows up model. They send to dealers and you buy them. Our local dealer has 2 on the lot right now. I live in a small city surrounded by much larger ones. We d

I want my kids car seat to fit behind me and I don't have to feel like a sardine.

The kids will get some nice fresh air and sunshine while riding on the roof. The older kid will get some exercise while running alongside it. I bet with some practice they can beat it in a race too. /s

People took a lot of road trips in the 70s...probably in a fairly inefficient station wagon.

Professionals using a larger vehicle for work should already be getting a tax break on the entire vehicle. If they don't, it sounds like it's just a personal vehicle.

I'd think injuring/killing someone because you hit them would make you morally culpable. The guy driving a semi and never getting in an accident should be able to sleep fine at night.

A link to CNN from Facebook is the same as going to CNN. You can replace that with whatever source you think is a non-dumpster option.

Links benefit the publishers because they get traffic. And I think you underestimate how many people will copy paste outrageously long and bogus things that begin like "if I paste this Facebook cannot charge me $15/month starting

Facebook has a lot of topical groups where you likely don't know anyone anymore than you do here aside from they have expressed interest in a topic enough to join the same group as you.

Tesla may want to see themselves as high end, but the Model 3/Y are around the average cost of a new car. That is less than half what a starting Porsche EV costs.

Did you read the link? 12/37 exceed their range and Porsche is half those. Remove 1 very high end maker and you're at 6/31 exceed. Not exactly "almost everyone"

Do you buy a neighborhood? You need a home that is walkable. Your neighbors will figure out what they need on their own.

No, it doesn't really matter. You personally don't need everyone in your neighborhood to walk. Buy a home that is close and you have a walkable home. There are plenty to choose from. Someone lives close to the stores.
