In fairness, you could make the same glum joke in most if not all of the developed world over the last 5 years.

As a kid, I remember at least in the area I grew up in(USA, kinda poor) there were a lot of pedestrian bridges and underroad tunnels. I realized it's something I rarely if ever see as an adult in pretty much everything built since. D

More concrete/less human friendly, but same message. And I couldn't have summed up my own philosophy towards code better, to be honest.

Everything is being replaced with solo everything. I know so many young Millennials and Z'ers who quite literally never leave the house. They're content with Doordash and their phones for media. This is what corporations want.

Do most charging stations even have enough charging spots to generate enough foot traffic to support a restaurant? Most restaurants near me have 50-100 parking spots. Even the tiny ones ran by a single person tend to have 8-10.

It's not all numbers, though. Both have a lot of intangibles that can and should affect your decision. Owning can feel suffocating at times, and like a ball and chain at others. You can't just decide you don't like it or the

Today, I'd agree. It felt like a dirty thing to even write. Historically, the lower wage jobs were for kids or bored folk, who'd eventually move onto something better and higher wages. Recently, the economy isn't great and p

You're probably right, but it ultimately leads to wage compression which is for most of the middle class a disaster. You don't have to look far to see everyday people complaining about the price of a burger or movie ticket. IMHO,

I agree generally, but blame the makers I guess. One important thing to remember is bed length. Trying to haul plywood or 2x4s with a 5 ft bed is a joke, and not easy with even a 6 ft bed. The old, small rangers used to have a 7 ft bed op

It's actually a really hard thing to track, and BLS does a poor job of it in my opinion. That 11% covers most but not even all people at a clinic or hospital. It counts people from doctors to records specialist, but not say, janitors

I don't know all the answers, but I can tell you that cutting doctors and services is not what I had in mind. Mainly the behemoth that is everything tangential to that, namely insurance and pharma, for two. I worked on the insurance

Healthcare is little more than a jobs program at this point. I believe it is the largest industry by employment in every single state now. That compounds the problem even further. Really fixing it would put a double digit percentage of peo

Same with Pixel, which actually did it years before I'd presume. I'm white as ghost. Pixels are determined to make me looked tan for absolutely no reason. I mean, maybe I look 'better', arguably, but it's not me.

The US. It's possible it's changed recently, as I've not flown in probably 5 or so years. But I've never had that happen to me, and obviously wouldn't ever volunteer each time if that were the case.
