What I don't understand is that native people who make a good income rationalize that they can't afford kids but yet in the same country there are many non-native people that earn considerably less that continue have children at e

If you don't have money you're more likely to have kids. Tons of poor people have tons of kids and they manage.

No idea why this is downvoted as it’s 100% true. Grocery prices have gone bonkers to the point I’ve asked my wife to really look at prices on certain things after coming home with a $10 loaf of bread. Even Costco - I’d fill a cart for $350-

What’s the alternative? Everyone knows it’s the eventual ruin and end of Germany (and much of the West has the same problem) but that’s still generations away. The current existing people who understand that the entire government run social

Exactly. Every American company should be proud to be a partner to the Pentagon. They don’t choose their missions but overall the world is a better place with American hegemony expressed through her military superiority. It would be a trage

It really had little to do with who moved in - although to be sure people certainly wouldn't sell to certain types of people in certain places. Properties were rated by their quality and their potential of being renovated and kept up -

Racism in part but even looking at redlining it isn't how it is portrayed. Redline documents would point out not only where clusters of blacks lived but also Jews, Polish, Italians, Irish, poor whites, etc. And those regions were all d

"White Flight" is a bit of a misnomer as people that could afford to leave cities did leave cities (including non-white people) for a variety of reasons. One reason is that through the 1930's (depression) and 1940's (WW2

It’s funny how poor people are always the victims in these schemes. In the USA many places let people in electric cars ,that mainly only rich people could afford, into the carpool lanes so they could travel without congestion. Of course the

What a sad story. Men can certainly get carried away with their hobbies. I know I can at times. But you must prioritize your family over them and not make your hobby a burden to them. This guy had a great stereo but it cost him much more th

I think as a golfer becomes more intelligent of how to play golf and of their own abilities they end up using the driver less and less, unless they're a very good golfer. But generally I never use them on par-5's unless I think I

I guess I should say that poor contact isn't penalized as harshly. Also the club is easier to control due to it having a shorter shaft and the loft makes it easier to launch the ball.

You’re looking at it from the databases point of view (makes sense, you consult on them) but there’s a lot going on in the developer world. For instance, MongoDB exists and is popular because it doesn’t center the database but rather the de

A driver is the club you use when you want to get the most distance (in theory) when you tee off. It has the least amount of loft (10 desgree is common) on the club and has the longest shaft (35" is common) so you can swing it fast and

Most guys that golf shouldn't use a driver and should carry a 7-wood instead. But they hit driver because not hitting driver (even though they get measurably worse results than if they hit anything else) is worse than hitting it into t

Indeed - they’re much higher in EU though. Also until recently you could deduct 100% of a USA employees salary for tax reasons and that has recently been changed.

You’re not including all the taxes that need to be paid and that employment bonds are far more difficult to break. But yeah, EU engineers are very good in my experience.

It’s one thing if it’s your own musings. But moonlighting as a comedian is completely different. A comedian is playing a character - it’s an act. They may or may not believe what they say and it doesn’t matter because the point is to get a

Having a higher end window where the mutton/grill is dominated on both sides is best imo. It looks awful from the outside when it’s an interior stick-on as there’s no dimension and line you mentioned lack of shadow lines. You generally
