Some of them, sure. But the benefit of not dying horribly of polio or smallpox is pretty nice, as is the wildly better odds of surviving childbirth. It's kind of anecdata, but have you ever noticed how in classical books from a few hun

It sounds like he's arguing not that the policies have been lacking oomph, but that the policies could never really hope to handle all the nuance. If you could only set up the incentives right, you'd get the right outcome, but may

You don't have to have spandex for the legs, for me synthetic hiking pants have done fine, and also courds in the winter. The problem was basically two things- jeans were abrasive, wearing away hair follicles, and they didn't brea

FWIW, riding in jeans gave me folliculitis, and a well maintained & fit bike is more pleasant to ride. Don't let the desire to separate yourself from the spandex crowd drive you to torture yourself.

There's definitely some kind of behavioral strangeness in the equation. I am unequivocally happier & feel better when I walk or bike to work. I hate, hate, hate traffic & bad stoplight timing. And yet, the lure of taking the ca

You have to plan a little in advance, but I have a little Burley utility trailer that expands my ability to make trips to the hardware store. For the supermarket, the key (aside from adequately sized panniers) is to make many small trips, b

In particular the one that aggravates me is childcare. A lawyer running their own practice can deduct their childcare as a cost of doing business. I, as a salary worker who also needs childcare as a cost of working, cannot. (Aside from the

That is a good point, public transit is not immune to ignoring future costs. However- The real doom is when people abandon the town or city because property taxes have to be hiked dramatically to pay for the bill come due. This drives peopl

Husky seems to be aiming to fill that void, and by some reports they're doing a decent job. I'm sure they don't measure up to Craftsman of fifty years ago, but neither does Craftsman.

We had a Kmart go under in our town recently. It was a dead store walking for years before it finally happened. Made entirely of cinderblocks, totally unkept, frankly it was reminiscent of dirt floor cinderblock villages I'd been to in
