Immigrants from poorer countries will do anything for a buck. It becomes a race to the bottom. As long as conditions here don't get worse than where they came from they'll be happy. But for us, its just down, down down in terms of

Imagine Marlboro stopped selling cigarettes, would everyone be nostalgically swooning over them like the comments here? There's absolutely no metabolic process that alcohol helps where at least cigarettes' increase your IQ: https

Those unemployment numbers are complete BS and you I and everyone else knows it. edit: and if they aren't BS (which they are) my previous assertion applies: increase pay to make the job more attractive.

You don't. Immigration is not a "solves all problems" solution. Its a "drive down wages so that we live in a 3rd world country like the immigrants we are paying" solution. I used to be a big libertarian proponent fo

Why does it always need to be about "immigration can solve it"? How about solve it by paying American workers more.

"That’s not even remotely feasible" Strong words, how do YOU know? Get rid of buses and trains and replace them with 3 types of vehicles, 2 person, 4 person and 8 person. Keep reserves of vehicles in the train tunnels. How can the

NYC transplants always like to make this argument. I would rather see lots of smaller cars and more ridesharing services. I think that would be even better than trains. Its my unpopular opinion but I would say in an ideal world, get rid of

The hate for Robert Moses by alot of NYC transplants is similar to the hate alot of "IFLS" type people have for Thomas Edison; its misplaced and overplayed. You're right, I can't really think of anything important built

Well then wake up because most of those parents didn't send their kids to school for those careers.

A great litmus test to see if an educational administrator is knowledgeable on STEM is to see if they regard woodshop/metalshop/autoshop as purely "vocational". Bare in mind, vocational still means "not college boun

Boomers saying: "I don't want my kid to go to machineshop in HS, he'll turn out to be a plumber" is what did it too. Building things has been looked down upon for 40 years because boomers thought it was a step backwards

I want to make sure americans have the first shot at the job but I also want to make sure that the USA does brain drain the rest of the world so that there is absolutely no way to compete with us. I am all for immigration reform as long as

I know doctors that refer to alzheimers as type-3 diabetes. Their gut instinct long ago was that it was indirectly related to insulin regulation. I don't remember exactly how much more (its a large factor), but being overweight and&#x2

" in the least interesting way" Who cares about being interesting, I can go around outages in the network with a car where trains can't. You should be arguing for smaller cars not less of them.

by mwbajor 3y ago
Its not funny. Its accurate. Roads are more decentralized than trains. Your argument is anti-scientific in a way. We see in nature that decentralized systems are more robust yet you are arguing the opposite.

Yea. Especially folks that lived in cities their whole life and Europeans that are surprised it takes more than 4 hours to drive from NYC to Florida.

I think a more basic way of describing it is that he was one of the last scientists to hold onto the theory of needing an "aether" for EM waves to travel through. The Michelson Morley experiment was in the 1880s and Tesla held on

I think it can be summed up in the following ways: 1) Parenting takes effort, use that effort to do 2-4 2) Know what they are looking at, prioritize face-to-face interactions. 3) Know the parents of the kids they are hanging out with. 4) M

You know what you're right. But not far behind these quacks are neurologists. If you've ever had someone in your family that might have had Alzheimers or Parkinsons you'll know what I mean.
