there is no welfare trap.

I totally agree on principle but for those who are stuck in a transactional mindset (conservative/libertarian etc) I would argue that paying for housing and welfare for poor people is just good business sense. Crime is incredibly exp

The article title is just a hyperbolic statement about something. Blocking the path to a family is just another hyperbolic statement that is patently untrue. But in all seriousness in response to your question, why respond at all, the answe

Or perhaps it is just as useful because it tells you where you need to and can improve.

Are they walling up vaginas? Because that’s the path to having a family.

Article is paywalled but seems to just be a hyperbolic headline in the style of US papers talking about foreign countries. The social contract has not been completely ruptured. I checked last week.

What are you talking about ? The only failings I see with the Irish model is they don’t go far enough in some areas. I’d like to see the healthcare system expanded for example. Per captia they are extremely wealthy. Have free education incl

weird take. This makes sense cause the public official doesn't have an expectation of privacy when they are performing their official duties. That makes sense. Nothing they should be doing when they are conversing with a member of the

So, some countries have protections for squatting. Squatting is legal. In the USA property rights are very strong. Read the article I posted earlier. Basically in Amsterdam a lot of companies were colluding to keep apartments empty which in

It’s not protected at all though, we both know that.

So would you endorse it legally? It was the solution to the crisis in Netherlands. You used to tell the local police station that you were occupying the house. Empty units stopped being a thing.

by romafirst3 3y ago
So if we are happy with criminality to “sidestep regulation” how would you feel about squatting vacant homes? Netherlands had this problem in the 60s and the solution came in the form of a squatting movement. I feel in the US people are ok

Interesting breakdown. 1/3 are retired or students, I wonder how many people moving in to California are not working? This article also seems to say that the majority of people leaving the state earn below average income and don't

Yea actually I think you did. I know you are just trolling but the callousness and ignorance of your comment did annoy me. It's such a brain dead lack of an argument that it just irritated me.

My feeling about the outflows to other warm southern states is that old retirees on fixed incomes tend to move to places where they can get value for the equity in their Californian homes. Often they buy multi family homes in these new stat

That’s actually a really common misconception. A lot of unhoused people in LA have one or more jobs. One survey I saw put that number over 65%.

I live in LA and I'm not sure this article is about California. Seems like a grab bag of regurgitated nonsense. I run a business and let me tell you there is no unemployment here, it's hard to retain employees. There is no outflow

you honestly think there is some masterplan? I love a good conspiracy theory but that is nuts. Nobody has a made a plan so it hasn't been long planned. Shit is just happening and we as a society, a culture and a race are adapting to it

Cars get into wrecks all the time :) Seriously though we just normalise it. If there is a car accident on your street everyone is awake. How about cop cars and ambulances racing by sirens blaring at all hours. People blast horns way louder

So this is a real problem especially in hot climates like the US can be. My advice would be slow down your cycling speed to your appointment. I found myself having to keep reminding myself to slow down because my natural cycling speed gener

Wayfair is absolute trash. Pictures look good but it always disappoints. It’s the one online furniture store I will never buy from again.

Language plus infrastructure for revolutionizing how backends are built. By making the language aware and responsible for the infrastructure it’s possible to proactively solve a lot of accidental complexity.

By that logic everyone in a car should wear a helmet in case of an accident. Head trauma is a real danger in car accidents. Wearing a helmet in your car will help with any head trauma. Why don't car drivers wear a helmet?

It’s definitely not even close to bring solved either. I haven’t seen a single code generator that works (100% of the time) for anything more than a very simple one or two liner.

It is a very important bit and might be how we all code in the future.

You clearly don’t watch a lot of other countries anthems being sung.

Even the concept that there are shithole countries is extremely dumb. I think you’ll find in those other shit hole countries people are (strangely enough) just as patriotic to their fabulous country. That should tell you something about pat
