Really? It doesn't for me, never has.

Yes, but I'd like to be able to still use the site and do the memorial bit at the same time, so I went with a lighter shade. ;)

That isn't a purple. I'm going to use #EED2EE which is thistle, close enough. ;)

Its unreadable with that shade. I use #cccccc.

Doesn't need to be a special way. 1 medallion per car per shift [iirc] + the per-trip tax. It is just they need to pass the laws to do that and haven't yet. Of course, I think Uber is lobbying against being taxed given that they&#

They are protecting tax revenues, not the taxi industry.

I'm not the OP but even in middle america you can. I'm not convinced on his returns tho. I calculated renting out my condo, refinancing to buy a second one, with tax depreciation, repairs, etc. I was looking at a return of ~2% on

You ignore a bunch of things in your process and generally use misleading numbers that fit your worldview.

So far, nothing. I got my money back because they couldn't deliver the software during the entire dispute window. That being the case, the Credit Card company just handed me my money back. From what I can tell, Amazon failed to process

It seems your motivations are primarily religious so I'm bowing out of this conversation.

Can I ask if this is NYC? If it is, and you throw in the cost of a medallion and the per trip fees, as I suspect Uber or Lyft will one day need to pay...that'd probably wipe out 100% of that income. [$2500/month + $.50/trip]

When a person consistently trolls on the basis of gender and race, like Shanley does, I'm uncertain why you think that is not "as bad" except because a woman is doing it?

> Nah, it's an institutional problem; you'd solve it with slightly different rules about how schools are run. For instance, you could give principals more autonomy over hiring/firing teachers but make it harder to fire THE

I'm uncertain why you expect anyone to send people to Catholic schools "because cheaper"? Not everyone is Catholic.

In capitalism, those that don't "win" the competition go bankrupt and die. I can easily see scenarios [say inner city LA county] where the only options are "bad schools" and siphoning funds away from them while leav

I was more or less agreeing with you. However, you seem to gloss over the fact that not all people in this country have a car and their children may be too young for the bus system. Etc. It isn't "better" if people are too po

Because everyone loves a Single Point of Failure? /s It is probably because they don't provide the failover and assume you have a standby LB and an active LB. So only one needs to be shown and you handle the failover on the applic

School choice only works if it is enough to cover all the external costs as well as all the tuition at a private school. No lawmaker and few citizens are willing to pay for that. ;)

Yes. And then they eventually would get fired for it. This isn't about protecting a progressive viewpoint against a conservative one. It is about protecting teachers from being forced to service Political Viewpoint X or lose their job

A voucher system that properly enabled children in poor neighborhoods (by covering the related costs) would be a good idea.
