You're too lazy to actually seek answers and participate. Conversation done ;)

Why don't you reply with some data to have an informed conversation, I'm not your query engine. Know how to google?

Of course not, they would never complain. Poor southerners don't do that. The one did talk about losing the farm though. Don't take his word for it though, look at some data: http://www.visualizingeconomics.com/2008/05/04/average-incom.

This is a smart comment. You parsed the article! :) Aren't Americans much wealthier today than 84 years ago? Hasn't the work paid off materially? I play with data for fun all day and live comfortably. My grandfathers worked like dogs and

You read a visionary interview about the fundamental labor reforms that made the pursuit of happiness a reality, from three years before the depression started, and your comment is to start the old saw debate about the causes of the great d

Many companies recruit and retain good people by not being shits. They want you to be successful while you work there and after. I have little doubt these guys left with good blessings.

The thing about this story at is hard to believe is that the more you use ecstasy, the less it makes you happy. You burn out those neurons. Takes years before it will effect you again. Can't imagine he was getting anything but speediness

Crazy in that he would do that, but not crazy in the sense of catatonic depression.

I knew a guy who took to extreme ecstasy benders. He would take 2-3 or more a day for a week, was probably under the influence half the time or more. This went on for a year, he took hundreds of doses. Then he had a long stint in a mental

He didn't force anything. I did this. He asked for a zone, I put it up the day of that interview. The writer took artistic license, which I'm fine with - I liked the article. So your reaction can become different now.

Lets start investing in our kids across the board. State and federal funding for schools is inadequate. Wealthy areas invest additional money in education to bring the quality up to acceptable. Poorer areas cannot do so. Its an injustice

These smiles aren't fake. People are excited every day at LinkedIn, or the high five program would suck.

When people see the zone for the first time, they laugh. People like funny things. People at LinkedIn like to laugh. Laughing is not compulsory, just incredibly common - and I have to say it sure feels healthy.

Would you care to clarify how shenanigans can be oppressive? The signs are extremely formal, listing many regulations to the High Five Incentive Program. The zone is huge and unavoidable. The universal reaction is laughter.

I know people who's krysha was not the FSB, then it became the FSB in the late 90s. Thats the mob I mean - people you pay protection money to in order to do business. The FSB took over and became the universal krysha, imposing an addition

The mob was replaced by the FSB - formerly the KGB. Which is now the mob, but also the Kremlin. So yeah.

IANAD, but this sounds spot on. Nearly every problem he describes is explained by a slight adjustment to the pain threshold. His throat irritates him. His limbs hurt. He is tired. He can't focus. These are all things we all feel all t

I do not see meditation on your list of things you have tried. I've found that meditation helps one to tolerate pain and discomfort better than anything else. Being specific, the following items on your list may be dramatically improved th

There are programming jobs with a lot of autonomy and control over the product you build. Maybe you should go for one of those, or become a product manager?
