Raising the minimum wage is only a band-aid. Within a few short years, inflation picks up and your $15/hour won't really go as far anymore. Australia and Scandinavian countries are good examples of this in action: high minimum ag

Norway is surrounded by countries that share many of the same beliefs and culture and itself is mostly a mono culture. This will not work in countries like the US or the UK.

If the generics are $25, then I don't see a problem. It's cheaply available and this article is wrong.

Let's flip this around. If these were 'nazis' would you feel the same way? In the US, alleged nazis are doxxed and given to the press, police, and anyone else and nobody seems to care. I don't think I've seen on c

What we really need to invest in is Nuclear energy. It's clean and efficient. But the liberals in the US will always be against it. Who knows, we might not even have an issue if so many communities around the US had been against it

I still disagree. Many issues usually fall into 2 or a few sides (abortion, taxes, gun control, etc), so statistically, it's fairly easy to come up with your own opinion on any one issue and match the mainstream. There are also many p

It's unaffordable because there is a monopoly on Insulin. Why is there a monopoly? Because it takes decades of work and close to a billion dollars to get a new drug through FDA approval. We need to work on bringing these costs down,

Just because you came to the same conclusion as the mainstream population, doesn't mean your are incapable of independent thought. "That doesn't mean such a person won't be wrong as much as anyone else, but they're

You can't point fingers at the US when the pollution is so bad in your cities that you need to wear gas masks or risk lung cancer in a few years. It seems nobody really wants to solve the problem and instead wants to just blame the US&

What's also sad is that China and India regularly pollute the atmosphere (and cover it up) with impunity and are left out of all discussions of climate change because somehow 'developing' means you aren't responsible for

What a waste of your life. Why do this only to look at Reddit all day? I would have at least done something productive, learned something new, etc.

The amount of counterfeits on Amazon these days is astounding. I was a legitimate seller about 10 years ago and I had a competitor buy one of my products and complained to Amazon that it was a counterfeit. My account was suspended and I ha

This is up to the individual company or shareholders, so there doesn't need to be justification. In the free market, salary is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay.

WW2 was about conquest and they were invaded by the Russians. Being neutral didn't really save them from the attack. When push comes to shove, neutral countries eventually need to pick sides or they will be taken over.

It's pretty sick that so many people care about this now, but didn't care at all when Obama ran a similar campaign in 2008 (I think both are just as bad). I read countless articles lauding him and his techniques as the future of

Canada, like many other countries around the world, enjoys the luxury of being protected by the US and doesn't have to spend as much money on defense. During WWII, do you think appeasement would have worked? The reason many evil countr

I think the issue with social rules like the above, is that they seem kind of childish and would make me feel like I am in elementary school. In the real world, some people are annoying and you should learn how to cope with it instead of ha

It's falling out of favor with our politicians too. People care more about a person's gender and sexuality than if they can actually do the job.

The problem is that real reporting costs money and the bottom fell out of the industry awhile back, so what we now have is lots of people repeating what they saw on Twitter or Facebook and making up the rest..which is passed off as 'ne

The problem is that there is no real solution. All of these plans involve ripping fossil fuel dependency out by its roots and just hoping that we have something to replace it. The end result will be skyrocketing prices that only the wealth

Who needs Deepfakes? There are images from 2015 circulating Twitter today that claim the current administration is putting kids in cages. It just states it as fact with no proof and thousands of people believe it.

"The idea that somehow shareholders are at the centre of corporate concern is shown to be a sham, yet again, by this." I disagree. Most publicly traded companies are at the whim of their shareholders. If the stock price takes a
