Over 60% of people in poverty do not work at all or work one part-time job, let alone 2 jobs. Of the 40% that is left, nearly all work a single (low-paying) full-time job. The old canard about poor people working multiple jobs and still on

Poor or low population town != food desert Also 90% of people in the US live within 15 minutes of a Walmart. http://www.statisticbrain.com/wal-mart-company-statistics/

The thing about food deserts is that it is a purely economic phenomenon. All of the fast food places and bodegas are getting money. If there were are push with dollars and food stamps for nutritious food, I assure you someone would find a w

And the cycle starts over again. Single mothers with no idea about nutrition (it is not an easy subject!) do the best they can, but it is usually not very good at all, and pass that on to their children.

I understand the concept of food deserts, but what about all the poor obese children that do not live in urban areas riddled with crime so bad that stores can't even stay open? The urban areas in the South are few and far between, yet

Surely everyone in your neighborhood is not subsisting on Big Gulps and Twinkies. When they get to the grocery store (even if it is just once per month) to use those food stamps, there is food other than twinkies and big gulps to be had, ri

This is more of a lack of competition issue. A lot of gas suppliers have regional contractors that basically have a lock on entire regions and their prices. There is no incentive to reduce price. Also, since we can not export crude, but can

It really is! Trade agreements affect everyone, not just select industries. I can almost understand how "industry experts" need to be consulted if the negotiators are not experts themselves. However, once that is over, the voting

Not only this, but when someone graduates school and has to go to work and maintain projects written in a dozen flavor of the month frameworks; no one wins.

Sadly, employee happiness does not always equate to revenue either.

I don't know anything about Rackspace's internal operations, but I have used them with business support before and it was some of the best customer service I have ever experienced with a company. Also, since this is an Amazon thre

With all of the frameworks and compilers used today to make HTML and CSS more complicated, I guess maybe it "feels" like a programming language ...

I believe anyone that has obvious visible wealth can easily exercise that right -- police like that are bullies and only pick on those they know cannot defend themselves. If you take a upper-middle-class white man and dress him as if he wer

Ask people from central Florida how well things went for those with no cash when the last Hurricane came through and wiped out all electricity for a few weeks.

I have gold at my house. None of the local markets will except gold at the register for food. Is my gold meaningless?

DNS does seem to go through SOCKS to an exit node, which then does the name resolution[1] Supposedly more attention is to be paid to this in the next major version. http://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/8/how-does

There are also those that have limited bandwidth available, or very expensive bandwidth, where a video is a luxury.

There is a huge difference between knowing enough on a subject to do a "bullshit test", and what you recommended in your top post, which was for businessmen to go learn to program and make their own MVP. While an admirable goal, t

I get what you are saying but disagree with your original premise. It is akin to saying, "It is silly for a programer to not already be a businessman (businesswoman) when seeking a partner, because there are books and websites online a

Wow! Where to start with this. Have you considered that some people with a head for business just might not grok programming? And vice-versa? Even if they do, have you considered that an amateurish prototype, that looks and acts like shit,

Cudos! PDF has a god-awful spec., with which I am intimate. I am impressed with what you have been able to do. I don't think most people realize that the spec. for PDF is over 1,000 pages is and was written by bipolar sadists.

A liberal democratic Western society has law. That is what is missing from you and your friends out at the bar. Just by being born into society, you have to agree to be governed by that explicit system of law. This, now, includes income tax

Well, I was comparing continents to continents and countries to countries, not the US to all of the African continent. How does your image look if you overlay the entire continent of the Americas over the continent of Africa?

by mhuffman 11y ago
It was a snippy comment. If you don't specify "South" Africa (which itself is a generalization), people can get jimmies rustled. It is like saying I live in America. People know exactly what you mean from context, but some wi

That is a very interesting link. Thank you. The electricity situation, in particular, I was unaware of.
