Sorry, your wishes are secondary here. This attitude is a great way to keep people from taking the test, which would be a net negative towards society.

I watched a lot of live streams from local Portland journalists and they were arrested (wearing PRESS helmets) for no reason other than being near the protests. After a while it became clear it was to deter them from returning to the protes

When was the last time you were unable to eat because of an income deficiency? Funny you mention "food banks" and "food stamps" during a time of unprecedented services shortage due to a pandemic. Some people are still wa

Except those people heavily dictate how the system operates. "Systems" don't just operate without human input or decision-making.

Imagine your bought the rights to a tree that would later be turned into thousands of $100 bills. Bitcoin is a speculative bet that it will become a popular global currency. The idea is eventually you will be able to use the bitcoin as curr

I'm assuming this means we export 80% of our waste? Wondering how the anti-globalist populace feels about this.

As a product designer, it's easy to see through the trend of repackaging old products with new "minimal" branding. Soylent is PediaLyte or Ensure for millenials. You see it in every industry now not just tech.

Those nets would be made of plastic and likely end up in the ocean at some point. If we mass-distributed them, even worse.
