Food/clothes/tools became cheaper over the past 100 years as economies of scale were built, but they were much cheaper 10-15 years ago when you compare price to purchasing power of income. This is a somewhat recent trend we'r

That's how it should be. The point is Gates got rich off Americans, cashed in massive tax write-offs in the form of charity donations (taking away tax revenue from Americans), then those donations are used outside America. Now he wants

This should be illegal. The crazy thing tho is this tracking is currently possible to do within any building by measuring reflected wifi signals. I think that's the next wave of privacy concerns when we need to worry about privacy via

Do you have any data to support anything you said here? The middle class has been getting decimated the past 20 years. They used to live comfortably on a single income, now both parents slave the week away and have even less purchasing powe

Stories like this are clearly intended to support the politics behind raising the min wage...and Business Insider is a known propaganda machine for the left. What the story intentionally doesn't point out is that a hike in minimum wage

Don't most extremely wealthy people around the world already do this? Look at all them who ran and hid in New Zealand within the past year.

I wonder if exercising at night has even better impacts. My jogs are usually sometime between 10pm-midnight. I recently mixed it up and went for a run in the late morning and it felt like I had lead feet...def impacted my body differently.

Pretty crazy that people have been placing so much criticism on response-related aspects, but don't have any interest in the root cause. This entire mess could start over from scratch tomorrow with a completely different virus...but

My first thought was that this is likely politically motivated. They are building "cancel culture" into their platform. They're opening the door to threaten influencers making money using their platform that support the &quot

They want to make it as easy as possible to wipe out saved privacy settings. This also gives them justification when wiping out privacy settings during operating system updates, which are often out of the user's control.

In actuality, there never was a "tremendous strain" on hospitals as a result of covid. Quite the contrary if you care to look at the facts and not the skewed numbers used to sensationalize and fear monger. Also, these numbers have

If you're willing to move to a new area, you can always find certain areas where the housing market is different in regards to supply/demand. You could also plan to rent for a few years to see if the purchase market cools off in t

I helped sail/transport a 32' boat down the coast of Australia years back with a friend and a professional captain/boat-transporter, it took a few weeks and we got to know the captain pretty well. He told us one time he was t

My guess is a branch of US military was permitted to fly drones near the ships to 1) Test the drone swarm tech and get some practice 2) Measure reaction time & actions taken by unsuspecting military personnel

Wouldn't the natural solution to this be real-estate agents accepting lower commissions? Or transition to a non-commissioned pay rate? RE agents historically provided massive value because they were the market-makers. Nowadays, they

Does the government collect detailed information from families of autistic individuals? (e.g. where they lived, food they ate, products they used, chemicals they were exposed to, etc) I feel like if this were caused by something recently in

For conversation's sake, my non-scientific guesses on this are that autism may be caused by one of the following: 1) A result of humans living longer and therefore having babies at a later age (i.e. older sperm and eggs) 2) A stage in

The strategy is to maintain control of the global financial system, and therefore control of the entire world. They don't need to worry about people or organizations already within the realm of arrest/extradition/freezable-as
