This is a possible solution, but it's not simple. If you do this, the current system of student loans we have will collapse completely. Now, maybe that would be good...but it's not simple.

Everything hinges on the definition of "ruined." If you take that to mean "a waste disposal plant gets built right next to your house" then you have a point. If you take that to mean "we're replacing this singl

First, the number of House reps is no longer proportionate to the population. Yes they are. Each house district has about 750,000 people. You get a bit of deviation because states don't necessarily have a precise multiple of 750k peo

I'm confident that haircut will come. I am not at all confident that anyone can predict when it will come well enough to avoid it. Remember that the last 3 months of 2018 saw the market drop ~20%, only for it to recover over the next 3

Meh. In the grand scheme of things, those environmental impacts are nothing compared to the problems of climate change.

No one cares about the "worse for the wear" problems of digging holes in the ground in Saudi Arabia. The whole problem is the CO2 that ends up in our air on the other end of the process.

The fact that lots and lots and lots of people in countries with fast rising GDPs work in factories that export goods to richer nations seems pretty convincing to me. You note, correctly, that Africa hasn't seen as much improvement. Gu

Globalization simultaneously brought competition for many workers and allowed for large multinational companies with the ability to pay their CEOs more. Is that rigged or is that just change?

Plenty of rich people have blown a lot of cash trying and failing to get elected to office. Of course, they succeed sometimes too, but it turns out that money is no guarantee.

All of this is covered by the FCRA (fair credit reporting act). Yes, if there are mistakes in your credit report and you ask the CRA to correct them through designated channels they are obligated to fix things. However: 1) Whether you have
