Why do you compare with unemployment graph and not the wages if you want to prove that raising wages don't cause inflation? Not only the US had been paying additional unemployment benefits directly, there were also indirect money injec

Also, only a fraction of a house value is in the physical structure, and only that deprecates. The rest is in permitting and coding, which appreciates too.

If this is true then there is no need to worry: companies with thriving WFH developers will surely overcome the stuck in the old ways ones. Not only their developers have same or greater performance due to constant thriving but their expens

Indeed, the Australian system is pretty good, and would be nice to have even without compulsory voting. But I am extremely skeptical we will ever get voter IDs in the US, least verifying voter registrations. One party is extremely opposed t

I doubt this. Don't some developed countries have mail voting? I am pretty sure Australia does, for one.

The "Has my ballot been counted?", which you are solving here, is not really a problem or not the entire problem of verifiability. The problem is "Has every counted ballot been cast by a person who: has the right to vote, and

What makes you think they have not done that already and what we are seeing is not their desired state of affairs? It's not that Zuckerberg or Brin, for example, take BART or need to fend off the deranged junkie who camps in the entran

Did you read the research you linked? It does not say what you claim it does, it actually claims the long sentences (over 60 months) deter recidivism significantly.

Low density housing. It's being attacked the most in such threads as this because it's likely the main reason of the car adoption. People do love living in detached houses with their own plot of land. Mobility for labor and commer

Ancient Romans already had been building paved roads, 2000 years before the "cycling advocates" became a thing.

Okay, I see you are being just combative. As I said I lived in the USSR and not as a single childless man working remotely and ordering deliveries too (I was a child myself though).

You mentioned some woman raising children without a car as if it somehow supported your point, I pointed out that somebody doing something in the past is not a proof of that being somehow superior or even acceptable now. Even in the present

I did read it, I don't know what you wanted this to express but I understood it as the admission that walking to work became untenable. 2018 is not 2020, WFH then had a great income/career progression penalty. And a whole lot of p

I imagine that if you work at home, have no children and have other people driving cars for you (delivery, taxi etc) it's not that bad. Not many people can afford this lifestyle though.

Even if there had been demand for a car without basic features people got used to in the past 20 years or so (central locks, power windows, rain-sensing wipers etc.) it would not work because of the emission requirements. The engines that m

My wife's Nexus 6 would only play games at what appeared to be 2 fps unless hooked to a charger after three years. And those were just some 2D puzzle games, not COD, so I imagine other 2D apps were not running at full speed too but it

Infrastructure is one compelling reason. There is some headroom in the gas,water, sewer,and electric lines but unlikely enough to carry sustained quadruple load.

A lot of places have permit parking, where permits are only available to the residents. Following this route seems to be more productive than making fake signs to me.

Buses are competitive to driving because they are subsidized, obviously. Poor or frugal people will choose a bus because they either cannot or don't want to afford a car. Ill people also might not be able to drive at all. This is why y

Yes, the cars appear to be waiting on the red light and not in a jam. Google maps shows 14 min by car and 28 min by transit between SE 42nd Ave and Powell Blvd to the Pioneer Courthouse Square. I imagine there might be times when car traffi

I watched a video of several seconds of a bus driving past cars stopped at a red light, then the bus stopped and video cut off. I wonder what happened? Could have all these cars passed the bus? Hmmm, would not get upvotes on Reddit, would i

My point is that transit is never faster than car, obviously if you close the streets to vehicles you can make places reachable only by foot. You can as well ban bicycles and biking won't be faster than anything. That is also the easie
