The more interesting question is what's going on in MN to keep heart disease so low. I'd have thought it would follow the same general pattern of the midwest.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Still seems low, but it's more definitive than my anecdotal evidence.

As a complete layperson I might be out of my depth, but is that 5% unemployment realistic? If I remember correctly they don't count people who have been unemployed long-term. There's a lot of people who don't work; whether th

Then we need a faster and more accurate culturing process. At least from my experience it was neither of those things, and it's hard to say we should leave someone with a potentially deadly infection to lay around for a couple days whi

But how do you know whether the patient has a resistant infection before giving antibiotics? Are you suggesting every patient is cultured to find out what the underlying infection is before starting treatment? From recent experience of bein

Maybe, but my negative view of BuzzFeed has nothing to do with Reddit since I barely go there. It's more the fact that BuzzFeed is the tabloid of the internet.

Yea, I agree, wealth can help fix many of the problems of density. Still, except for some global hotspots like HK, NYC, Tokyo, etc. there's not enough money to warrant crowding to such an extent. And in many of the global cities the pr

I don't know, Harbor East/Harbor Point might not be to the same scale as some of downtown Detroit, but they have the same feel to me. I bet that whole area east of the aquarium to Canton will look a lot like downtown Detroit withi

Did they really try to hide it though? They didn't attempt to stop the report from being published. All they did was not promote it themselves. Is that a bit unethical? Perhaps, but saying they actively tried to hide or bury it makes i

Nothing you said contradicts anything written in the article. In fact it's basically a completely different topic. If someone wrote an article about the American economy it wouldn't be contradicted because you can denounce the Ame

To be fair, the world is constantly changing. I don't know if that means each recession is special so much as unique. Just looking at the last major recession in the 70s, things did change quite a bit from there. Manufacturing and dist

This is pure conjecture but... Liberals in general could be considered the progressives while conservatives are traditionalists. So conservatives are trying to hold onto the old ways (or at least a perversion of them), whereas liberals are

You're still arguing about the details of how zoning should be implemented, not whether it's a fundamental right.
