Regulations should be reserved for the worst problems. Porn consumption should be looked at, but not sure why we can not just empower parents to do their jobs, just like we empower them to control what movies they let their children watch o

This only works in an environment that's flush with cash. E.g. a decade long bull market with artificially low interest rates, 2018 tax cuts, and stimulus from covid. Was a perfect storm.

Attention is ultimately limited. It doesn't matter how much content is being created if it isn't being pushed. The problem hasn't been content creation for a long time.

It's a lot harder to overprescribe addictive drugs now. Much much harder. But your point remains. The problem wasn't so much painkillers after a major back surgery - it was prescribing to treat chronic pain - which, in hindsight,

For every one person misdiagnosed there are probably 10 that think they have cancer because of webMD. People are dumb, and I bet every anecdote you have about how your doctor was wrong they have 50 about patients who refused to do basic tre

The problem is there's simply not enough doctors to go around and cost. The schooling is enormous and the costs to hospitals/insurance companies is too. Hence, more PAs, more nurse practitioners, less doctor time and that doctor i

The president can't unilaterally put anyone in jail, and I doubt it would have much positive impact at all.

Not really surprising. Playing records is a really inconvenient way to listen to music and is more about the aesthetic than anything else.

This just isn't true. Our public education is very bad now in much of the country. The fact is what you get out of high school from a huge portion of the population is...not great. No one is stopping anyone from hiring these people. If

No, it isn't, but college/high school has way more opportunities to meet people and friends than in the workplace - you aren't spending 8+ hours at work at these times, there's ample opportunity to meet others (changing

I wasn't insinuating that or disparaging anyone. I was simply suggesting that work can put on a façade of socialization but you can be left burned by it, and GP was. It's not a fun situation to be in and I feel for him, and is als

Not everyone feels the same way and that's the point. Some people want deep relationships. Others want to get their job done and go home to their family. Others are so stressed out with this office culture worship draining them with a

This is your experience and is valid. But I would think about something. Those people left through their personal choice. Many workplace relationships are like this. I met some great people at work. They left, or I left, and I never spoke t

Office relationships can be good and also extremely toxic. I doubt there is any statistical evidence that being in the office leads to any net benefit of relationships.

I'm sure there was a time where people "never shared their weekend through text" either. I remember those types "I only use a phone for calling." Most of them are long gone now.

Do you think bullying doesn't exist in New York City?

by juve1996 3y ago
Yes, and certain media narratives reinforce that in people, I'm sure. But the statistics don't always track. Houston has a far worse violent crime rate than these cities (if we say, NY). A city like Tampa, crime wise, is comparabl

Owning a business is a different thing than doing a trade and requires a lot of different skills. Most plumbers don't do this. It's not something you can just "oh wow look how easy this is." It requires investment and ri

They're certainly not recession proof - recessions are terrible times for trades. Trades do well when the economy does well - people spend more on non-necessity projects and that demand goes away in recessions. Sure, people still need
