I'm curious, in current proposals, would a UBI be limited to citizens only? I'm guessing not, given the "universal" nature of it. If that's the case, I can't say I see support for a UBI gaining wide-spread supp

I couldn't say whether that happens anywhere, but I believe that's what "death panels" refers to. I wasn't suggesting it's what currently happens.

It's the difference between a doctor, or more likely a highly trained nurse in most facilities, making the decision and government bureaucrat making the decision. It likely also implied the decision being made based on what choice save

Again, your opinions are not facts, and flaming a large percentage of the US is explicitly against the rules of this site. Your level of posting is not appropriate here.

I agree with that, and saying that would be a better comment than just calling for something to be deleted. Explaining why something doesn't belong, or even just saying "this doesn't belong here", is better than a demand

It certainly reads like an ad. Then again, I've been seeing more of this "cutesy" style of writing popping up in tech, so it's a little hard to tell.

Just downvote comments you don't think add to the discussion. That's what the feature is for. It's not up to you to censor the comments section, and your comment is even less useful than the one you're replying to.

Can someone define pay inequality for me? Is it that people with the same job ought to be paid the same? Having worked in the industry a while, I've seen many engineers with the same job, same title, and wildly different levels of prod

That's a lot of it. Having grown up poor myself, and having family and old connections that are still poor, I can tell you that there's another element to it as well. A lot of poor people resent society due to their poverty. There

It's not meant to be condescending, and I've updated my comment slightly to try to clarify that. Thanks for pointing out the tone. I don't think it's overly pedantic in a conversation about fathers spending time as a pri

So, I hear this a lot, and I was curious what it actually looked like. In 1944, it was 94% for two years. The bottom bracket was 24%. Then in '51 through '54 it hovered around 91%, with the bottom bracket hovering around 20%. This
