This costs millions. How do entitlements that cost trillions benefit taxpayers?

Actual developer / builder here. The primary cost in homebuilding is not building itself. It is the gigantic amount of regulatory compliance and associated costs. Just splitting a parcel costs tens of thousands and takes years unless y

Rebuilding US manufacturing might would take the same thing that built it in the first place. Very high universal tariffs.

So you measure wealth only relatively? If you are the same as everyone else, even if you are all starving to death that is better than being the poorest person in a society but living in a house and having plenty of food and being physicall

The root problem is not health insurers, they are just a happy beating dummy. The root problem is the government restrictions on the numbers of new doctors that existing doctors have passed to restrict supply and keep their salaries astrono

Gotta love an article about American agriculture written by someone with no farming experience in a foreign publication. I am an actual American farmer and the number one problem we have is that we allow foreign farm goods to be imported in

Ridiculous article. It is not even a war when no one on the American side has died. Von Clausewitz would have some choice words for this armchair general.

Von Clausewitz thought it was a fool's errand to try to have a bloodless war. Who is Von Clausewitz? One of the most famous military strategists of all time who lived two centuries ago and spent his entire life at war. He pointed to ma

I have five kids and would rather spend time with them doing anything (even picking up trash), then time doing anything else without them. It is the natural, biological order of things.

There certainly is a problem of p companies laying people off and not making new hires, but there is a bigger problem in that this is the most dangerous technology in human history and could lead to our extinction in the next year or two.

Poland made the brilliant decision to protect its heritage and not allow unchecked immigration and illegal immigration. It is a very high trust society with far lower crime rates, especially violent crimes than other places like the UK and

I would be ashamed if any of these were my kids. I am teaching my kids to build families and work hard, not to waste their lives on entertainment.

The whole article is a humble brag by someone who has never done anything in his life but sit in a classroom. I know a lot of folks like that and none of them are successful in the real world. I know far more plumbers who understand the wor

So dumb that California, with a massive wealth of oil underground, imports oil from the opposite side of the planet due to severely misguided environmental regulations.

I can no longer run Google Chrome on a new powerful $1,500 2025 laptop. I don't know what it is doing, but about thirty tabs just doing basic browsing and Gmail eats all of my resources.

Farmer here. We would not need these interventions if we simply had high tariffs on food. Farmers produce a commodity product that has to compete on price with food grown in countries with zero labor protections (Mexico cowboys earn $17 per

High trust societies cannot allow illegal migration from low trust societies without becoming low trust themselves.

I shared a link from X with a friend. He replied that there was a community bite on it saying it had been debunked. I love that X allows free speech but also has community notes to stop misinformation.

How about if we vet them before they are built? Our species will all be killed if an unaligned superintelligence escapes containment.

X is fantastic, especially with Community Notes informing you of all the false propaganda the other platforms, including HN, are rife with.

This is titanic, earth shattering news. The breakup of the OPEC cartel would be on the best things to happen to humanity this century.
