I guess but it’s $127 for information I can read in its entirety for free already. I’m sure if they had a more nominal price around $10-20 they would get a lot more purchases. After all it’s really an aggregation of existing texts.

But did they have access to 24/7 always on social media shaming and bullying?

No smart phone and no social media for kids society wide and we go back to good old fashioned bullying in person. That’s much easier to curtail.

Yes, children under 18 should not have access to a smart phone or social media.

No. That’s not a reasonable expectation. You can’t bombard children with insane content all the time and expect parents to continuously hover and prevent them from looking at it. There is not enough time in a day and makes parents the bad g

Some might take offense at this but blue collar work is for the most part mindless work. If you have grit, it’s relatively easy to get through. Sure your body will give out but it’s easy on the mind.

The only realistic way is to have a scanner with an automated feeder (which aren’t really all that expensive). I invested in a laser color printer years ago and I have not yet had to replace the toner. Otherwise you can also do it at your o

The very notion of a service based industry is idiotic and feels gutturally wrong. If the US can’t bring back it manufacturing industries, we’re done for.

That’s a pretty good idea. I’m all for age restrictions on even more things. I think you shouldn't be able to use social media or have a smart phone until you’re 18.

South Korea has been doing it for years. To get on the internet, you need to sign in with your ID.

Eh you’re never going to experience the high like you get from ecstasy. Not from sex, not from achievements, not even the birth of your child. It’s unattainable through the normal course of life. I agree humans would have a better life if t

You have a good point but your reasoning is nonsensical. It could be as simple as the tech sector seeing a slump while hiring is really taking off in other sectors.

Not doing drugs leads to a healthier society and better people. However it definitely results in much lower life enjoyment. Getting satisfaction from being productive is not universal. Me for instance. I’ve worked on and managed hugely impo

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I know engineering directors with lots of experience that haven’t received a single interview for a year. It feels like a terrible job market but maybe it’s restricted to the tech space.

I don’t believe you. There’s no way you type faster with up to three taps needed per letter. What a disgusting monstrosity those things were.

It applies to families obviously. Like the tax code for the one child policy, there’s precedent for this.

That’s why it works I get it and most people wouldn’t want to live in an icy hellscape but if you like spending all your time indoors it’s not so bad.

It’s more than that. In Iceland you’re allowed to just stop working and the government will give you a basic income (along with a recreation stipend!) indefinitely. This gives people so much time for pursuits they’re passionate about.

It is that easy. Why wouldn’t it be? It would be as simple as extra taxation if you don’t have two kids.
