It's fairly obvious that less (or no) disposable income leads to less consumer spending, which leads to fewer jobs, which leads to less consumer spending, which leads to.... That is exactly the ongoing story of the vanishing middle cla

Does this surprise anyone? Humans did not spend millions of years eating 6000 calorie hyper refined lab perfected highly processed meals three times per day. We did evolve foraging, hunting, gathering, and eventually and much more recently

The author Michael Pollan summed it up fairly well with "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." When in doubt, try to think what humans evolved to do and to process, and try to mimic that. For nutrition, did we evolve with enormo

I find it hard to believe most doctors have the time to casually google patients.

Is "atlasobscura" anything more than nonsensical clickbait? The formula is always: "[How/Why] a (Insert Random Thing) (VERB) to (TRANSITIVE VERB) that (Absurdity or Ridiculous Claim)"

OK so through the chain of reblog web vomit, the "source" study minus any of the garbage and very legitimate sounding "fathead-movie" which is a regurgitation of a nypost article, is this http://circ.ahajourna

Is "fathead-movie.com" an authoritative source? It sure does not sound like it.

In the USA, "marriage" is a legal contract that is often far more cumbersome than any business entanglement. Something to think about.

Sounds about right. Until you remove all money and related influence from politics, it will only continue.

I got a letter from my insurance provider saying they're pulling out of the local market in 2018. I pay full price directly, no subsidy, not through any exchange, it's very expensive and I've poured tens of thousands into pre

I would bet it still sold in the realm of affordability though. Out west we have many completely average mediocre homes selling for 10x-25x regional median income levels, which is beyond absurd when historically an affordability marker is s

And so will the current USA housing bubble in western states and a handful of other trendy locations where housing has far exceeded the realm of affordability by median income standards.

The Information is well known but the price is intentionally exclusionary, it's not aimed at average readers or average consumption.

Can someone who has access beyond the paywall explain this story and report a bit more? What are the examples used in the report? If someone hits on you and you are not interested, does that qualify as an unwanted advance? Is it unwanted fl

Are they going to scrap the EB-5 visa too? Doesn't it basically sell citizenship for real estate?

If this had happened two years ago, would Uber have avoided any of the later negative press?

You mean exporting the middle class and then undercutting upward mobility was doomed to face a political backlash? What a surprise.

Fair advice. You see this frequently with art, startups, technology, and business in general. Reminds me of a quote told to me by a very successful entrepreneur: "The best idea I ever had was someone else's"
