I think the author is onto something here. Reminds me of the fishery collapses over the last century. Everything's fine until it's not, often out of willful effort to adjust the threshold of when to be alarmed. I'm also remin

It is much closer to 2 million those who are incarcerated with about 400,000 of those from drug possession. Less than half for violent offenses and that's probably an overcount. I mentioned in 1 in 150 Americans because that's the

If anything, the tally encompassing violent crime overcounts. See myth #4 at https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2022.html Agreed that if speedy trials were a thing, the local jail and bail reform problem would be

I was asking if what the DA was said was unreasonable, with that number to indicate that there are already a LOT of people in prison or jail.

What the DA said on the subject: "Two days after being sworn in, Alvin Bragg shared a memo with staff Monday noting that his office will not prosecute low-level offenses like marijuana misdemeanors, refusal to pay for public transporta

There's change in the air on that one. Minneapolis, for one, commonly adds service fees to restaurant bills and shares with the back. Some referenda in a couple days will determine ending the minimum wage exemption (which would be a sh

'Productive' is such manipulation is this usage. In the modern economy, products shipped per employee often has little relation to how hard an employee works. Does not this metric speak poorly upon leadership's decision-makin

Charging taxes for participants in a market you create feels like a giant loophole through antiquated economic policy. There may have been a time where if you built a mall, it helped local communities briefly by attracting stores that other

Claiming something is a monopoly provides gravitas to an argument, at the high cost of the inevitable semantic dithering of how to define one. I argue that anytime you'd want to use this word, an alternative exists that is as potent wi

Such nerve. Instead of the talking about the downsides of increased surveillance and quantification of worker performance, blame the worker for not going above and beyond. As an employeee in this new landscape, of course you'll save po

Insta and WhatsApp of today are not threats to Facebook because they are the same company. Had they not been acquired, their trajectories may have been very different.

What I'm interested in is what's referred to here as the 'recent studies'. Medical research is important here because there have long been concerns around electromagnetic waves causing cancer, but none to my knowledge ha

The redistribution of workers thanks to remote friendly policies mean municipal tax revenues in large cities have dramatically fallen. To cover that shortfall, will we now see increased appraisals and support for increased property tax rate

Even that is a summary, and if you request the full report you're bounced to a third party Genesys that demands your contact information, while popping up an unsolicited chat bot window. I killed that chat, made some fake info and was

There is some utility that. I haven't seen blogs offer anchors per paragraph but would serve the same objective.

I'd be interested to try this if you share. Is it just a brightness assignment to all img tags? But this would miss imagery assigned via background image, among other means.

Using the layman term of 'tetanus booster' is acceptable to me in this case, even though it comes with additional benefit. But this simplification is not equivalent with the err of claiming a Prime Minister has charge over only a
