I disagree with this article. Without Billionaires, we wouldn't have the power of a computer faster than an entire desktop PC from a decade ago, at a price that almost anyone can afford, in our phones. Sure there might be wealth inequ

A climate disaster isn't going to happen for centuries, so I wouldn't worry about that. The best skills to have during a recession are a little bit of everything. Companies won't be able to afford specialists and will hire g

The stats also don't include the attacks that never happened because of the restrictions, which are almost impossible to measure. Trump never really explains his reasoning, but I heard from a security official shortly after these were

What about the safety aspect? What if there's a fire? Wouldn't it spread much faster to these wooden buildings..then concrete? How about areas with winter climates? I don't think they would be able to retain heat as well.

Once it's known that a person has money, they will be hounded by scam artists, thieves, and people that just want money for nothing. After awhile, it's not surprising that they get defensive, which can be seen as being 'mean

"Striking workers at the Egan plant also demanded an increase in their hourly wage, which currently sits at $16.25 an hour. They argue they should get paid more on the night shift." $16.25 isn't enough for low-skilled warehou

It's hard because as you grow, you need to pay out lots of taxes, an aggressive amount benefits to employees, and in many parts of Europe, negotiate with unions (which includes all of the above and more). All of this money goes out to

One of my relatives retired from teaching a couple of years ago. She had guaranteed raises every year and ended up making close to $100,000/year.

This is amazing. They even have the 10-year prediction, which is very close to the 12-year prediction we hear politicians touting now.

I used to sell products on Amazon a decade ago and they were still pulling the same tricks. I would sell products that had absolutely no listings in for months (I was the first one). Within a week or two, a listing would popup for Amazon a

Yes, they would. But only if they were given the right a decade or more ago, so more people were trained to use firearms. Now, it won't really do much. The 2nd amendment isn't necessarily a way to win a fight one-on-one. It crea

I think it's going to be an interesting future when everyone is afraid to post anything online or say anything to a friend (that could possible be recorded or even just claimed) because a stupid thing you say when you're 15 can ge

"little" is relative. An employee could be a single student living alone or a parent of 5. It's really not up to the employer or society to make sure an employee is financially responsible. Just giving people an instant rai

If we are going to pay just as much with socialized care through taxes, with less options. Why do we want to switch instead of making changes to the current system? I think a better option would be to slowly get rid of the insurance compan

My point is that in factory jobs, the end result is usually just to get the job done, whatever that may be (building parts of a car, etc). As long as the workers can understand you and you can communicate what needs to be done, it can work

The reason it didn't happen is because many white-collar jobs require a good understanding of our culture and language, which isn't required for factory jobs.

What about a country like Norway that bases its entire economy on oil? Why shouldn't they be considered evil too?

The end result will be a more expensive taxi-like system that will end up being inefficient within a decade or less. yay progress?

right..so saving the climate in 12 years doesn't matter to you? It only has to do with fairness? If people were really serious about Climate Change, India and China would be held accountable. The fact that they aren't and have n

This shouldn't matter. What matters is the overall output. Even if the US had 0 output tomorrow, we would still have 80% carbon emissions from the rest of the world (India and China combined make up a big portion). Everyone wants to s

This is exactly correct. The US only accounts for 12% of the total carbon output into the atmosphere. Countries like India and China have been polluting the earth for decades and the Paris accords won't solve any of these issues becau
