It's not possible for one person to ever have all of the money unless they have the possibility of not giving money away. Imagine the most optimistic state scenario just prior to hopefully having a state where one person has all the mo

I'd also be interested to hear an experts thoughts on this. Could this be asked as a question in a thread of its own?

I absolutely agree. Smoking a pipe does increase your risk for a variety of cancers and several other health problems. Sometimes manyfold. My main point here is that the dangers it presents are more easily mitigated and less significant tha

Interesting tangent, as I understand it smoking a pipe isn't particularly dangerous compared to cigarettes, snuff, chewing tobacco, cigars, etc. When smoking a pipe the only contact with carcinogens is the smoke in your mouth. Chances

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out "blow paste" was a typo. Thanks for brightening my day with accidentally colorful language.

I wonder if it's reasonable to go even further and say there's a negative correlation between spending and what someone gets out of college. I'd say that's certainly the case when restricted to certain fields. In this ca

A significant chunk of the massive numbers people are throwing around talking about the cost of college comes from living expenses.

Actually, I think this is at least part of the reason for increased healthcare costs. The consumer almost never the one paying for healthcare. It might help to lower healthcare costs if there was no longer a tax incentive for employers to u

Gross profit. Not Net profit. They made a tenth of that after all other costs are considered. [1] 13.6 billion spread over 2.1 million employees works out to about a $6500 per year raise or about $3.10 per hour given 2087 working hours in a

It's kind of interesting that we've come full circle. We started with pocket watches and moved to wristwatches when it was too inconvenient to take something out of your pocket to check the time in the trenches of WWI. Now we'

I think it's more likely the bubble that bursts is in the loan market. Loads of speculators moving college debt around until everyone realizes that nobody can pay back their student loans making the debt worthless. Everyone panics and

This is really cool! Next time I need CAD software I know where to look. Maybe I'll actually buy a 3d printer and start playing around now that there's a good modeling software option.

You can have the procedure done then sue them when they won't pay for what they're contractually obligated to. You don't generally get a hospital bill until the procedure is done.

Except you can sue your insurance provider if they deny you coverage for something that they're obligated to cover. You wouldn't be able to sue the government. Edit: Let me also add this; when you sign up for health insurance you&
