Well, our borders might be legally closed, but with 2.2 million people illegally crossing them from the southern border per year, that is the entire population of Houston, maybe it's fair to say they're closed but effectively open

That doesn't really explain why the number of British expats living in America is 3x the amount of American expats living in Britain. Coupled with the fact that America has ~5x the population of Britain, that means a British person is

I lived in Portland before the decriminalization laws passed in 2020, and from my perspective, drugs were already effectively decriminalized for the in-your-face-homeless, which I think is the most obvious social problem that people in Port

If I tell you someone will break into your house sometime in the future...maybe tomorrow, maybe 5 years from now, and actually maybe never...how would you change your behavior? There was some intelligence about a potential threat, but hardl

Ok, but we've known for a whole now that the number is around 1200 killed. Not what most would call "a few dozen".

Actually, the judge ordered that the deputy clerks must issue the marriage licenses(save for her son), unless they wanted to be held in contempt of court. I'm not sure how the path matters much. It contains language along the lines o

Yes, but there are only 10M people there (and only 25M people in the nordic countries). To put it in perspective, the total number of Teslas sold over the entire history of Tesla in all of the Nordic countries is less than half of how many

The median take-home pay per worker is higher in the US than in Sweden, and Teslas are more expensive in Sweden than the US.

Compare and contrast the reception Swedish mail workers are getting for their behavior, versus Kim Davis, who refused to issue an otherwise non-problematic marriage license(which was part of her job).

They aren't - in no other situation would anyone be allowed to delete random information off the device of an adult who broke some private rule. The only thing they could generally do is kick you out of wherever you are and tell you t

How about you just go to a professional, get your (presumed) ADHD diagnosed, and get on a known effective treatment for it? You don't need to do it all on your own - there are people who devoted their lives to treating situations like

I suspect the Roman tradition of slavery was much less brutal than the American chattel slavery we might be more familiar with. Out of the Roman republic/empire, there are numerous stories about slaves who become poets, authors, adopte

Call me crazy but I suspect you and your brother drive a different amount. $100/mo in a Tesla I ballpark at driving 1900 miles per month, so you're probably driving less than him, unless you get more than 150mpg in your hybrid.
