A tiny group of academics don't get to redefine commonly used words for rhetorical purposes (at least outside the circles of their field). Everyone knows what Rayiner meant when he said racist. That's what the word means.

America has a high ceiling and a low floor for quality of living. For above average, America is arguably better (with some caveats). For the average person, its better than Europe (in that you can afford more since you are paid more and ta

Libraries buy copies (and the creators get paid). And the copies (on average) circulate a lot less often than you'd think. High volume authors would probably opt out of the library system if they could, but the average author probably

Right. Clearly not every pirated copy is a lost sale. But a lot are. It's easy to say "I'd never pay 60 bucks for that" when you just copy as many games as you want for free. And I'm sure for some art, piracy adds

Depends on how the restructuring occurs, the debtors usually lose some or all of their equity. Unless the restructuring makes the creditors whole, the previous shareholders don't retain any ownership. The entity survives, but the old s

This is a problem with nearly every online rating place. 4.0 means TOTAL GARBAGE and 5.0 means it didn't burn by house down. Totally useless.

The common understanding of flight definitely doesn't include lighter than air (well atmosphere in this case) vehicles. The first flight was in 1903, not 300 BC China when they used sky lanterns.

Why would you expect the sample of gifted children to be representative of the population. By almost every measure Hispanic and Black students fall behind other students. The achievement gap is very well studied. The challenge is fixing the

That depends on how many cases you started with and how low you can get the transmission rate. No way could the EU or USA get to zero in 6 weeks. It took Victoria Australia about 6 weeks to get from 500 cases to 20. America and Europe have

Something that isn't talked about, but is probably a big factor, is how soon they started taking action. Contract tracing is very effective, but its hard to "scale." The virus exponentially grows, so once the infection rate

In California, the only reason people can oppose new projects is because the government enables them to have a say in someone else's property. So you don't have to force development, but you do have to remove NIMBY's ability
