   If under 26, you can get your parents’ work insurance, usually not a big increase, otherwise, you can just get crappy insurance for cheap. If urban area, you don’t need a car.

   Guess what the political biases of the people reviewing NIH proposals for funding are.

   Well Medicaid is free and for a car, you can get and old one for $2000 and pay <$50 a month for car insurance. Food costs more than that monthly, so it’s not a huge burden even for working class people.

   There are plenty of working class parents who support an older child who lives at home. The difference is the child is not pursuing anything, so most parents would not want that for their child and would want him to get a job or something.

   Online vetting it looks like. Used it to retrieve and summarize articles about the author from the internet based on name alone. I guess to make sure they didn’t make spicy posts online or had some controversy in their past.

   You don’t need fluoride if you brush your teeth. Just like you don’t need to soak yourself in bleach if you have a bath every so often.

    I thought I was on the left but there’s no way I want to be associated with people who have such blind trust in institutions and have such pride in their lack of critical thinking.

    I love the responses of people on the left on this issue. Can’t wait for the eventual group amnesia when the scientific consensus changes.

    There’s a left-right split on the issue in America, which leads to a lot of specious and lazy reasoning, breaking away from typical impulses to have clean unpolluted tap water, etc.

    Natural water supply has feces, bacteria, etc too. Civilization has progressed because we have managed to remove them from the water and provide clean water to the masses.

    Yeah, but they're closely related.

    Sure, my point being if there is no mechanism for adding fluoride to the water system, then it will be more much unlikely that someone will add illegal amount of the toxin to the water system.

    Same. Related example is Chrome and Safari have profiles while Firefox is still stuck in the tab groups era.

    Bans are more effective. There’s always some local hero in the water supply org who thinks he knows what’s best for everyone and modifies the fluoride amount to his liking. For example there was someone in Virginia a few years ago who lower

    A first-order evaluation, just looking at yearly income per person, would say that urban centers make more money per capita and thus contributes more money per capita to tax than non-urban centers.

    I meant the GP of your previous post. Your criticism of whataboutism is flawed under the context of that GP accusing China of everything under the sun.

    You are posting in a thread where the OP is saying China is covertly doing damage via TikTok. Do you seriously not see the contradictions here? China is doing damage to us when we are doing damage to ourselves too? Really? It’s going after

    I believe you only need to work at a particular location for 6 months in a year to be considered a resident for tax purposes. But yeah there’s a certain flexibility with the truth if you go over but it’s not like the biggest deal since you’

    I would argue MAGA is somewhat revolutionary from the neoliberal globalist two party consensus in the last 30-40 years. Coastal liberal culture and its components might see itself as revolutionary, woke and so on, but I see it as just a con

    Companies don’t actually keep track of that. You give them an address and they rely on you to update it.

    I think he was saying working working like a neuter bee (as in just working without any kids of your own) won’t do. So the opposite interpretation. Everyone has to work after all, kids or no kids.

    I wouldn’t say anything has replaced it yet, more that the Trump admin is trying to do so currently by removing a lot of programs, banning words, purging employees, etc. Whether that will be successful remains to be seen but coastal liberal

    Weren't we hearing for years about how it went to waste because Intel did stock buybacks or whatever using the CHIPS money. Now we are supposed to believe it's critical?
