Those loudspeakers on wheels at volume are illegal in many places -what’s not happening is police caring enough to make arrests. Maybe other jurisdictions will take a cue from Las Vegas and begin enforcing laws to protect normal people fro

Is being against data centers a political ideology? I could be against building data centers in the area I live in, if one were proposed, but I don't see it as an ideology myself. At most it would be an issue in one aspect of a politic

Don’t receive shipments of goods from out of province then. Vermin get transported in packaging easily.

You’re skipping the meat here. We’re saying it hurts people at the bottom most. Low skills immigrants compete directly against low skills Americans. Even Paul acks that. So did Bernie before he changed his tune. We’re not talking overall

See Krugman vs Krugman: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/paul-krugma... My bad, it was 2006.

They so screwed Outlook. The stupid thing refuses to respond after switching to a diff network or SSID till it’s completed some synchronization of some kind. The stupid app refuses to come into focus. I really don’t need the freshest view

They do not, in general. It's know those developing for the Mac platform do and maybe a few graphics artists but it's a small minority, from reports out there.

You have to take Krugman with a big grain of salt. It's been decades since he was in a policy position and these days he's more of a commentator, opinionator who is often wrong. I think he sometimes leans on his nobel prize to gi

Yeah, that's the problem: once they close down and the land gets sold, it will typically get developed and once that happens the land isn't coming back unless you have a Detroit situation. It's not like suburbs have lots of e

I wonder if these measurements were done in similar fashion to how they measured kudzu coverage in the US. For the longest time it was assumed that one of the initial projections was correct; however, under closer examination that estimate

Wouldn't a lot of the harm to adults and children be reduced if those companies went back to non-algorithmic feeds? No stupid discoveries based on searches, web history, fingerprints, or friends's interest. Just plain popularity

Well, in the USSR from 1918 to 1920 they confiscated private gun ownership via various campaigns. They targeted kulaks in the early thirties and carried out mass executions of kulaks in the late '30s. In Cuba they began confiscation al

Better ban social media and algorithmic feeds as well as betting/gaming and electronic games.

In the USSR, Cuba, China, etc., where expropriation or nationalization happened, first they confiscated everyone’s firearms. That’s always step one to take rights or property from people. I know the 2A is both contentious and leads to probl

Unless expropriation happens the rich can’t simply take over land. They still have to buy it. Ted Turner, Bill Gates still had to buy land from individuals. So unless people sell all their land to these people, there will still be land.

Low skill jobs are unable to demand a ton of money. In most places they are sadly being replaced by self-serve kiosks where the “worker” gets paid nothing -that’s not entirely true, the shopper gets some of it in the form of a price break

What would keep people from circumventing a roboticized society and forming their own human-based society? Buy good and services produced by other people and avoid and or penalize members who cheat -ostracize them. There can be parallel s

Without direction or a pull in life people tend to self-destruct. Even the wealthy are susceptible to this. Hollywood nepotites are a nice example: they live off their parents's wealth or easily acquired money and self-destroy themse

I think everyone who is able should earn their keep. From ants to lions, to survive and live, even if in meager spurts they must put in some work.

That's quite unfortunate. The victims and relatives of the victims of this disease are looking for any sliver of hope to ease the horrible path it takes so people like this who give false hope are truly degenerate, despicable beings.

Wow, if that turns out to work, that would alleviate lots of suffering for both the patient and her or his relatives and caretakers. This would be pretty amazing.

Plumbers are realistic and don’t live on ideals. They set their rates and set their hours. Lawyers; well if if only people behaved we could have nice things in life, but here we are with people trying to screw each other and misbehave… Di

Pad Thai was an invention to unite the country and forge an identity in the face of Chinese influence. After WWII it was popularized because it was cheap and thus able to feed a post war population.

All of the Western nations are at 2 kids or fewer but also so are China and India. Most of the 2+ children come from the ME and subsaharan Africa and areas in Oceania/SEAsia, Maybe some parts of South America. One could slow consumpt

You can’t completely trust what people say anyway. There are stated preferences and observed preferences in economics but it applies to other areas of life.
