It didn’t bother you that someone impersonated tens of thousands of Americans and the FCC ignored that fraud and voted anyways? People shouldn’t get death threats, but we shouldn’t act like it doesn’t happen on all sides of every dispute. P

If we are taking power away from the Government (elected by citizens to serve citizens) and putting that power into the hands of a few corporations, we are moving towards corporate fascism. See also: Corporate tax breaks at a time of record

Nobody said anything similar to "pro-abortion-in-all-circumstances" except you. I never assumed anything, simply pointed out the reality the many people who are claiming "pro-life" or "basic humanity" seem to b

I believe it does invalidate their opinion on abortion when they are using “basic humanity” as their reasoning. Some unrelated example about Einstein and racism doesn’t really address that hypocrisy. Not to mention that this same political

Did you read this article or the OECD report it is based on? Probably some clues in there if you are interested in finding your answer.

But these same people support a political party that is in favor of capital punishment and against a larger social safety net. Where is the basic humanity in the state murdering someone or a person dying for lack of healthcare?

I find it interesting that politicians increase military spending by $100 billion or we cut future revenue by $1 trillion and nobody bats an eye. Meanwhile, people hem and haw over $50 million to maintain critical infrastructure.

You are correct. I see them at 26th here - http://www.fih.ch/rankings/outdoor/ Another one would be handball, ranked 38th - http://www.ihf.info/en-us/thegame/rankingtable.aspx?month=7&amp

Currently 25th in FIFA rankings (3rd in CONCACAF). Is there any other major men's sport where the US ranks outside the top 20 (maybe cricket)? - 15th in rugby https://www.worldrugby.org/rankings/mru?lang=en - 6th

Yet, the US dominates in women’s soccer. Maybe there are fewer options for them to play other sports (football specifically)?

This is an excellent point at the lower end of this age range. I do still think there is something in the fact that today's tech companies have very high profit-per-employee numbers. This allows them to pay higher skilled workers more

The criteria is "a small company with at least 10 employees." Uber drivers would not count, neither would other independent contractors who run their own design or development businesses.

How do you connect GDPR, a European policy, with American regulations? Not everything is politics.

Very interesting chart in this article that shows more educated people (masters, bachelor's, some college) are less entrepreneurial than they were 25 years ago. On the flip side, less educated folks (high school graduates and non-high

Dismissing history’s most recognized economist out-of-hand seems like you have already decided the answer before hearing the arguments. Edit to add: Michael Porter (one of the most influential living economists) made is career studying the

Based on your logic, people wouldn't be taking taxis/uber to the airport. It is both more expensive and takes longer, but people do it all of the time for the comfort and the quiet (which allows them to work). This is being built

This is just the opening of a negotiating window, once we see the plan we can make those calculations. For example, Boring will likely have to rent the Block 37 station from the CTA, bringing in some money (but we have no idea how much yet)

And it would require huge investment from the city, which this project doesn't require. That said, there are already projects to increase capacity (new cars, more power on the Blue Line), southern expansion of the Red Line and the Belm

Yes, and there is a project to increase power in progress. With the upcoming O'Hare expansion and increased TOD development along the Blue Line this is could very well help mitigate future overcrowding at minimal cost to the city.

Are all laws that limit the rights of children dystopian? Should 5 year-olds have voting rights, access to jobs or the ability to buy alcohol and tobacco?

I can't find a $500/month 2-bedroom apartment for rent in Des Moines ( https://www.padmapper.com/apartments/des-moines-ia/2-beds/pr... ). The cheapest I see is $625, which is 25% more than $500/m

How is it dystopian? We ban kids from doing plenty of things we deem unsafe in the US. We don't let them drive, go to the store alone, drink alcohol, buy guns, get married, buy cigarettes, watch certain movies, play certain video games

Was in a similar position. The world building in Snow Crash (first 150ish pages) is one of my favorites in the genre. Unfortunately, the plot kind of lost me towards the end and I came out slightly disappointed.

“People are hiring again”, any data to back this up? BLS seems to disagree: - The United States added almost 3 million jobs in 2014, 2.7 million in 2015 and 2.2 million in 2016. - The U.S. economy added 2 million jobs in 2017 http:/&#
