Bernie's whole plan is predicated on eliminating private health insurance. In order to achieve the "savings" that he promises, he needs to be able to go to doctors and hospitals and say "take this, or you get nothing&qu

Seriously? You can't think of one person on the Democratic side who is "suggesting easy solutions to followers that are either unworkable or unconstitutional"?

Well, the short answer is that it doesn't work that way. As an example of a loophole, investors can buy stock in a company, hold it for five years, and currently get 0% capital gains on the appreciation. You don't need an intermed

The 90% tax rate is completely misleading, as there were so many deductions and loopholes that hardly anybody ever paid it. Every time somebody brings up the 90% rate, it's always someone on the left attempting a "We could raise t

I see this kind of comment an awful lot, and I have two immediate reactions: The first is a sort of dumb and dumber "we landed on the moon!" feeling where I actually can't believe that someone didn't know that there used

I have very mixed feelings about this. This seems like a very weird pricing strategy on the one hand and a very weird charitable strategy on the other. Frankly, the last thing poor people need is free access to high-end stock trading tools

I think you're confusing antibiotics with antibacterials. Using hand soap with triclosan has antibacterial properties, none of which contribute to antibiotic resistance. There are lots of reasons to quit using antibacterials in your ho

Hey, you know what, it goes both ways. Just because something is approved by the FDA doesn't mean that it's safe and effective. And, conversely, just because something isn't approved by the FDA doesn't mean it isn't

Why the downvotes? Look them up. L-Theanine is in green tea and taurine is in red bulls. Maybe they don't help, but they noticeably reduce anxiety in me.

I've been experimenting with nootropics lately, and I think taurine and L-Theanine can help you greatly, with very low risk of side effects.

I dug a little deeper on your first link, and it appears that in order to come to a different conclusion, the scientists have just applied a different correction to the data... And, mind you, they're using extraordinarily unreliable oc

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the scatter plot uses adjusted temperatures and not measured temperatures. Part of my anxiety over the temperature records is that many sites have been adjusted upwards at on

While I think it's unlikely you're going to convert me, I do appreciate your points. I'm not so much against private-sector unions, I just don't think people should be forced to join the union when they don't want t
