I don’t disagree with you. I’m all for perennial reevaluations of how we train professionals to make sure we’re producing the best and brightest. But there is definitely a libertarian strain (especially among these commenters) that shits on

Remember when medicine was unequipped to deal with COVID because it presented as-yet unforeseen challenges in treatment? It was a crazy time, I remember it well. It took months, but practices and procedures caught up. It wasn’t perfect, and

Jewish people have returned home. They fought and won a war over it. I’m glad people like you say crazy shit like this, it makes it easy to dismiss everything you say without having to engage.

That function of colleges is still very much alive. As part of being an accredited college with accredited programs, most kids are required to take courses in the liberal arts, even for science degrees. And a college education is a very str

I’m pretty sure Europe has done a real bang-up job not only supporting genocide but perpetrating it on a massive scale in the modern era. The moral stain of these countries, especially as it relates to Jews, comes into sharp relief when the

College was sold to us as a way to enter a rarified sector of the job market, and that’s not as true as it once was, and was never as true as it was sold. But a college education is tremendously important for our democracy to exist in any m

And yet they can’t/won’t do shit about it. Hence “people in power” not “third-rate states that take virtue-signaling votes but refuse to lift a finger”.

What a disaster of a product. This isn’t a true Gen 1 product in the sense that the iPhone was. Apple waited an entire decade after the Rift was released, and released a headset that didn’t leapfrog the industry in any meaningful way. Steve

Because the internal logic to pretty much anything falls apart at an egregious enough scale. 401(k)s are wonderful for nearly all Americans (although a weak replacement for pensions, and too many Americans start them too late for the miracl

Japan’s story is different - Japan has been battling deflation for decades at least partially as a result of a rapidly aging population with zero desire to import workers. Which is not a judgment of Japan, which instead chose to provide a m

Your comment beats me to it! I used to be in favor of UBI, but every point you make is valid. And the so-called Modern Monetary Theory of printing unlimited sums of money without triggering inflation either doesn’t work conceptually, or req

The “tech revolt” angle is silly. It’s about a casual disregard for the law. With all those cameras all around the car, in an area that cops should be patrolling after years of increased petty crime, nobody has been arrested? The commonplac

Circumstantial evidence is still evidence, Chris. The fact that it was no longer available on the store tends to imply that Apple removed it. Especially since the alternative is that the developer, who clearly acted in bad faith publishing
