This doesn’t make sense to me either. Even when opening a new CD at an existing bank it asks me to confirm the address on file. I guess it’s possible the scammers scoped out banks and found the shitty ones with inadequate practices…

Don’t forget, and takes 2+ decades to build. I mean year in magical utopia world we would have build them already and it would be great, but we’d also have had serious electric cars from American auto mfgs 30 years ago in that world. instea

That’s wrong. It’s true that areas planned around cars can’t support that number of small shops and restaurants. Actually nearby it’s the street with more car traffic that has the most empty store fronts because everyone hates walking on i

Because it’s nice to have practically every amenity possible in easy walking distance I.e 5-10 minutes walk. Probably 20 restaurants, 20 small shops, coffee shops, ups, usps, fedex, hardware stores, museums, parks etc etc all within 10 minu

That’s framing “getting out of a local optima” in the most negative terminology. Guess everyone should stay stuck in the local optima and not even attempt to find a better one or global one.

Yeah this paper is garbage so many things would have a big influence on average lifespan - strength of workplace safety rules, smoking and alcohol use, driving mortality, regional conflicts, endemic diseases, etc etc that they didn’t includ

“On a population aggregate level” This isn’t a study that tracked individuals, they looked at population level aggregate statistics. They attempted to predict average life expectancy using linear regression with just a seven, yes only seven

Odd to profess to be an expert on Britain but not acknowledge sarcasm, one of their main national pastimes.

Errr that just causes a dystopian race to the bottom. Why would one think otherwise?

Seems harder to under report a disease like cancer than conditions or diseases that exist more on a spectrum and are lived with.

Thanks for the corrections, It’s nice to know the English were starving the Irish and subjugating India purely for fun and games not for any material gain.

And thus an online expert has declared it is so, drawn a line in the sand and will defend their position until the end of time.

The Illegal content part seems highly problematic given how states are fracturing - now the most extreme state dictates how T-Mobile operates nationwide? That sounds bad.

The comment talked about how much wealth a Victorian would need to buy a flu vaccine. You’re talking past history buying present items. It makes no sense. Wait you’re talking present day Ireland?! seriously jumping to present day Ireland to

I don’t follow this logic, it seems to say Bill Gates is poor because he can’t buy a whizbang from the year 3,000. That doesn’t make sense. Also Irish were way poorer than English during the height of England colonial empire and in a large

These descriptions are making Amazon’s route to simplified checkout look over complicated and not even close to the best route to tackle the problem.

I agree that most people bet that rates would not rise fast. But it’s a classic case of wishful thinking to not consider that and instead act like the highly unusual period of rock bottom rates was a permanent fixture. Rates were going to r

are you saying that cost shouldn’t be a critique until the market as matured? Because of course a new product still being rolled out doesn’t have a good second hand market. It’s not reasonable to expect that.

No offense but blaming the left for ford killing off a sedan sounds like a story viewed through deep red Texas glasses where anything bad is reflexively the lefts fault.

Oh I don’t know, call me crazy but perhaps, just perhaps it could be the massive failure of the west’s several decade bet from like 1990 through 2015ish that open trade with Russia and China would influence their behaviors for the better.

Okay so that explains inflation is always around… which part explains why it when from like a decade of 2% to 10%? And don’t say supply chain because the fed basically discarded that when they finally panicked that it wasn’t transitory like
