Looking at the responses I see a lot of possibilities. But one thing I remember reading elsewhere is something they wouldn’t admit - they have no good places to put that money, and inflation is low so hoarding it is not a bad option right n

You could say if more people lived in places like Manhattan, then there'd be more tracts of land elsewhere for coyotes (and other wildlife) to live.

It may just be hyperbole, but I don't think you can rule out a dead planet. Aside from a few extinction events in which the vast majority of life on Earth did indeed die, the climate has changed slow enough for evolution to take its co

Coldfusion has a unique place in the world of programming languages. In its prime it was a great way to get a website started with minimal effort, similar to PHP. Both PHP and Coldfusion let you create simple websites, easy to deploy, full

If it's a function of a percentile of the population, then sure, there would be fewer geniuses and such. But a shrinking population seems to coincide with a better educated population. An educated, stable, slightly shrinking population

I agree, and I'd take it a step further. I just listened to an interview with Indra Nooyi (former CEO of PepsiCo). She attributed her success as CEO and ability to still be a mother due to extended family being involved with taking car

Not which recession - you're mixing up recession and depression.

I wonder given enough cheap salt, is there a possibility of it being useful for something? Like at least a cheap building material for desalination plants in areas where the deserts meet the coast, and the lack of rain would make it last lo

From my understanding that is likely going to be local to the eastern US seaboard. The gulf stream goes northeast towards Europe, and "pulls" water away from the east coast, effectively making the sea level on the east coast about

Can you buy a property without being a resident though? From a quick search, I found a site stating that you must live in the house and cannot buy one for other reasons. This contrasts wildly with anecdotes I read about with Chinese invest

I like the other replies, but I'd like to add something that I haven't seen discussed much. The median income in New York and California is probably much higher compared to any random flyover red state. Your average household in N

Makes me wonder how much of the weight loss was more due to water loss rather than body fat. I remember reading something about people who are on the verge of starvation lose weight after getting access to food again due to water loss from

Comparing countries with such distinct histories, geography, culture, etc., is futile. We could very well owe the current dominance of the US due to the unfolding of events in World War 2. Aside from that, there are many countries that coul

I believe ACA mainly benefits people who work but don't make enough to pay for healthcare insurance. Medicaid would be for those who don't work at all (or make way too little). I think looking at it as a zero sum thing is framing
