This outlaws freedom of association. If I am a woman creating a company for women’s products and want an all woman board, why should that be a problem or any business of the government? If the shareholders don’t like it, they can vote in&#x

Six person board? “At least” three women. Says it all.

You are describing a series of choices that have noting to do with the cost of hiring someone to do her job. Compensation is set based on scarcity, replacement cost AND the value of the work performed. For public sector positions, it is imp

Most of the addicted once had stability, but lost it because they would not give up their addiction(s).

What exactly constitutes NOT living paycheck to paycheck? I mean, I used to be unable to pay bills until my paycheck arrived, I get it. But today, despite having a modest emergency fund and being able to pay all of this month’s bills with l

People always set undisclosed criteria on "I cannot afford" statements. The problem isn't unsustainable rents, the problem is renting the size of place you want, in the location you think you deserve, at the price you (and ev

People always seem to want more privacy than they were able to afford.

Maybe start requiring rental campers to have built-in facilities? This seems like a bit of hypocrisy to complain about visitors pooing just like the locals.

Our DNA may be as inevitable and common in the universe as the elements from which they are made. Quarks snap together in common forms we call protons, neutrons and electrons. They in turn combine to form a set of regular elements with cons

While tragic, I don't want my government protecting me from myself. I mean, where does this end? What about leaving the stove on? What about using my barbecue indoors? There have been cases where government intervention to help may hav

The day will come when DNA sequencing is so fast and affordable, that the storage fees for all these samples will be less (over some period of time) than the cost of sequencing each sample and storing a digital copy. Indexed, identified, se

Even more Orwellian, you received a letter "claiming" your samples had been destroyed. You have no proof this was done unless the samples were returned to you.

Pay reflects replacement cost, not value the employee adds to the company. This is why janitors don't make six figures in SV even though the office would shut down without them. Replacement cost of staff in remote markets is often lowe

This post could just have easily been describing the U.S. Dollar.

Cost per mile has risen 10-20x in inflations adjusted dollars? That's your problem right there.

This is the principle of refusing to pay ransom for fear of future kidnappings. It is not unsupported by history.

Save the planet for whom? I guess I should appreciate when people choose to leave more resources for my DNA to exploit. I plan to make the most of the sentience that my genetic ancestors wrested from the muck.

Most of these people had homes and jobs once, but prefer drugs and alcohol over the rules and expectations of those who provided said homes and jobs. Homelessness is not a sudden condition, it is the result of thousands of choices to indulg

And yet, someone had destroyed the crash barrier prior to this fatality. Locals report this happens often.

by stmfreak 9y ago
The lack of lane markings and missing crash barrier are symptoms of deferred maintenance. Why would a sensor based roadway be immune to similar neglect?

Blending suicides in with homicides without declaring or defining their contribution is deceptive. Imagine if we tried to portray how dangerous cars were, even to people who do not own cars, by combining pedestrian deaths by car with driver

That's okay. The USA is used to Brits trying to take away our guns. It was kinda the pivotal event that sparked the revolution and caused our ancestors to throw your ancestors out of the country. Not surprising that you still don'

When farmers force chickens and cows to live in high density communes, they are decried as inhumane and people advocate for low density farming practices. Apparently, the opposite is advocated for humans.

This is a very misguided metric. A CEO Of a small company with 100 employees and $20MM annual revenue is going to be compensated very differently from a CEO of a giant company with 200,000 employees and $40B+ in annual revenue. Although the
