That’s not a good comparison. I’ve been to both. buckingham palace is a working palace with very limited access. Versailles is an open museum. On my last visit to Buckingham palace, I got timed tickets and went on a limited tour with about

This article doesn’t support your statement. It says “ Nearly a third of all shoplifting arrests in New York City last year involved just 327 people, the police said. Collectively, they were arrested and rearrested more than 6,000 times, Po

Ive lived around the country and the driving culture varies significantly from region to region. East Coast cities are the worst, whereas I find Seattle, where I live now, very east going. Having moved from the east coast, it shocked me to

The slowness and lethargy of the system is by design. For instance, The constitution is really hard to change to prevent tyranny. Checks and balances against power protect all our rights. There is no garauntee that the people in power wil

But the judges should only overrule legislators when their laws violated higher level legislative authority or constitutions, right? Do you think a judge should be able to legislate what the law is independent of elected officials? Why wo

What do you think countries did differently in the 1930s-1940s to help Nazi victims that they’re not doing for these other cases of genocide? I doubt the Allied countries would have done anymore to stop it then we do today, if they hadn’t b

I can’t speak to what the original poster experienced in college, but your heated response implies a resistance to at least some forms on inquiry as unacceptable or inappropriate or at a minimum worthy of disparagement, which I think underm

I agree with your review. I enjoyed the Wild West vs Versailles take, but then the 100% focus on diversity took it sideways. The politics at these large companies is still driven by getting senior leadership to like you and see that you are

It could be interpreted as loss of faith in the bank and the risk of a bank run, which impacts the ability to get investment to support current depositors needs. That’s essentially what happened at SVB.

I think it’s worth reflecting on how you incorporate and use anecdotal stories to broadly characterize 320M inhabitants from one of the most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations on earth.

My main worry is that a small set of capital owners will vastly benefit in a runaway AI scenario at the cost of human laborers (including service workers). If a few companies control essentially infinite intelligence, they could capture al

I think the bar for criminal prosecution is much higher than than "everyone suspects." It needs to be beyond a reasonable doubt, which I think is a harder case to make. You'd need documented evidence that that was the goal.

It's not so much a bias of rural over urban, but lower population states versus larger states. You could be urban and just be smaller in size. This part of the "great compromise" was actually for smaller, non-slave states lik
