My daycare has a policy where kids have to go home if their temps are over a certain number, and can't come back for 24 hours, even if they are not sick. I have to take a handful of days off a year to stay home with a kid who isn'

>So in the future, what happens when no one owns a car We will still own personal cars, for all the same reasons we do now. The percentage of ownership will drop, but I think most 2 car households will still own at least one car.

Yeah, actually. I also set up /r/HistoryPodcast and spent about $10 on Reddit twice. Both times I had an ongoing AMA with a podcaster and targeted /r/history. I thought that would be a sure thing, but even then I only ha

Thanks! It's History-Podcasts.com. I am a couple of months behind in putting in new shows, but there are over 200 there now.

I've spent about $100 trying to promote my history podcast curation site on Twitter, and only got about 5 hits.

When I was renting, I had a 30-day investment in the neighborhood/city. Now that I own my house, I have a 150k investment in the neighborhood/city.

As soon those millennials have kids they will be heading back out to where they can live with a house and yard.

That makes sense. If a selection process comes down to several equally good options, people are going to let their personal preferences weigh in.

So is this going to be the new "video games are going to destroy society" moral panic?

So you want to force this on the country even though close to half oppose it.

It seems like former governor Jon Huntsman would have had an even better chance.

Personally I think people pushing this level of fear mongering should be embarrassed.

I can only assume that supported the right-wing protesters who took up occupying that piece of Federal land in Oregon.

> Its used as a tactic because its effective. So are armed mobs that murder political opponents. Might does not equal right. People have a right to protest. They don't have a right to destroy property that doesn't belong them.
