   I grew up in the Deep South. Most of my family members are morbidly obese and have diabetes. I avoided this by spending hundreds of hours reading and thinking about nutrition. Here are my ground rules for healthy living: 1) Drink a lot of w

    Many studies have already checked and confirmed these things. There is a wealth of research on poverty and inequality, which is why I say we don't need more studies to figure it out -- we already know. Now is the time for action in res

    We don't need more big data studies to figure out what is causing poverty or how to fix it. Poverty in America is caused by: - real wages decreasing since 1980 - the commoditizing of labor (e.g. janitorial companies, the "sharing

    $2k/year isn't going to change anyone's life in America very much. 9% of a tiny amount is also a tiny amount.

    The thing that I don't like about books and articles like this is that they promote complacency. They obscure shitty living conditions that billions of people are still living under by pointing to statistical averages and fun concepts

    Gaddafi was one of the longest-serving leaders in the history of the entire Middle East. It is a pretty widely held opinion that he would still be in power had he kept pursuing nuclear arms. Current US Intel chief on this subject: https:&
