Ok, but nobody in the US calls it a pension so when you refer to a pension everyone is assuming the one you got from an employer.

When it comes to health 'us, America' is so incredibly diverse in behavior that it's nearly meaningless. We can have a medical break through that lets us revive stroke victims as brain dead patients that live for years in bed

But that's even more reason to split out the stats. It would be very good to know that the average life expectancy for opioid users is much lower before I consider taking them. Life expectancy if you get the surgery and medicate with p

None of those reasons the life expectancy decreased had anything to do with income inequality. Nobody died from an accident or Alzheimers because rich people got more money. Please don't use this as an excuse for whatever pet issue you

You've gone a bit off the rail here because most people in the US don't get pensions and we aren't forcing tons of people to die in the street. I think you are confusing pensions with social security. Social security already

I think you might be blinded by your love for high density. Traffic, long commutes, higher crime, higher rent compared to the average salary (adults need roommates), long lines for anything decent, crappy parking or crappy public transit...

See if that's still the case after a year though. I bought for the free handout and then cancelled before the annual renewal.

Google and Facebook have been terrible for open source on the whole despite their contributions to some projects. It is more difficult to run open source on your handset than it is on your desktop/laptop/server and Google wants it

Having lots of homeless people on the streets is the opposite of solving the homeless problem. SF should be demonized.

What are we supposed to do? People seem to be against institutionalization because it denies them their freedom and they refuse to use the many public and private homeless assistance programs available to them.

It seems to me that is a problem that should be solved by anti-lobbying/political donation laws.

It's not as hard to organize people along ideological boundaries as you might think. Look at the power of the US political parties, the NRA, unions, etc. If we want to stop regulatory capture, stop that. Don't worry if it's o

Does this offer any visibility or insight into the rate limiting of undesirable accounts such as mine? Do all undesirable accounts get the same rate limit? Do rate limits expire? Is there a way to tell if an account is muzzled without trial

Can you explain why wealth inequality is bad? If me and the rest the million other people in my city have $100,000, some billionaire in a city somewhere else making another 100 million doesn't really have any impact on me directly. Yet

I think your scope of college students is too narrow. You do not have to do well in high school to get into some kind of low tier college. Low tier colleges will take anyone with a pulse who can get a loan.

It sounds like a self congratulatory post rationalization of the Google hiring process. People good at algorithms are not necessary to build what a huge chunk of Google engineers work on (basic CRUD apps). Additionally, being good at CS alo

So your 'evidence' is based on a group that purports to see the economic future? That's hardly evidence.

That makes no sense. If california voters did anything other than voted for the candidate with the D next to their name, not everyone would assume their massive pile of votes will always go Democrat. California voters matter way more than a
