Yea but if American Airlines refuses to fly me to Santornini for vacation to save the planet, I'm going to fly United instead. So who is really responsible for that climate change? Me or the airline? I think it's pretty much me u

That would make sense for a chain that otherwise served vegetarians. But does McD's even have a single item that is vegetarian? I googled it, some breakfast items (egg mcmuffin, panckages) and apple pie. It's probably just a money

It definitely is. But the magnitude is much different. China makes it very hard to do business in a wide spectrum of industries. That's their right. But it's not free trade in any sense.

You are just rationalizing China’s purposeful one way trade barriers.

That analogy is loaded because classic cars appreciate. Ebooks don’t. Toyota can feel to take back my 03 4Runner for the original purchase price.

"and you will receive a full refund of the original purchase price." Seems fair enough to me.

>The way the stock market is designed (and the fact that stockholders often get to appoint the board who gets to appoint the CEO) means they're going to put short term profits over long term viability. Many companies have been ruine

Even most truth in advertising laws allow for some sales puffery. Typically you can "the best steak in town!" But you can't say "Rated the best steak in town" if it wasn't.

It's certainly a generalization, but I'm not sure how to talk "societies" (per the post I was responding to) without generalizing. So it's definitely a stereotype, but I don't think it is an unearned stereotype

Chinese tourists are considered some of the most rude and dirty, and China is a collectivist society. I think it’s just a problem with tourism.

I think it's an insurance term that separates out two different risk profiles. Random theft (breaking into a car, pick pocketing, etc.) is a fairly low and known risk. It's therefore easy to ensure. But if you rent your camera out

Arbitration clauses are pretty good for consumers for small injustices. KitSplit can't litigate an arbitration for even $35,000 dollars, let alone $3,500.

>She also claims their assessment of people signing up to KitSplit is effective at blocking 99.99% of bad actors and stopping millions of dollars of theft on the platform, almost surely an exaggeration. If this is true, they should easil

A marketplace for connecting renters and owners is valuable. Their real issue is that their marketing essentially says they cover stolen gear, but their fine print says they don't. That's no bueno.

The "thawed permafrost = permafucked" hysteria is not based on science. The IPCC, etc. include feedback loops into their calculations.

Law degree but yea it was insanely stupid. But I didn’t have 264k dollar. The government loaned it to me.

He is proposing taxing all stock transactions .5%. I’d pay that and .5% I move my nest egg around adds up. And his projections are pants-on-Fire stupid because he doesn’t account for the fact all high freq trading would move offshore if the

You don’t have to cancel old debt to protect future students. Just ban student loans. In fact a one time cancellation could screw future students because they’ll expect the same. And it might not happen.

Especially since our federal loan programs have very generous repayment plans. 20 years paying no more than 10% of your disposable income and it gets wiped out. I paid 264k plus interest. It’s bullshit to tax me further to pay off loans for

Part of the issue with Hurricanes is that they hit a huge area. If you just need to evacuate a single city, it would be a lot easier. Especially with the added urgency of an asteroid. Hurricanes happen all the time and usually, it's n

In my experience it leads to less vacation for most workers. But some people take advantage of it without raising suspicion. The average worker has no baseline for what amount is appropriate. They think they are always too busy. Their boss

The idea is that you have a meeting of the minds that the document you are signing contains the terms. If you could later argue that you didn't understand it and therefore shouldn't be bound, it would make contracts impossible to

If we did that 30 years ago, we’d have really affordable GPRS systems. We can’t even upgrade bridges and dams.

This is amateur hour RIAA damages calculations. To get a truly spicy number you gotta multiply the number of downloads by the statutory limit for willful infringement--$150,000 per infringed song. So your ipod 4th gen with 5000 songs is wo
