Quite a few community banks were purchased over the last few years in my region. Many communities around me don't have anything but a regional or national bank today. The one in my hometown went from carries the bland name of "Com

Maybe we should consider "overbuilding" then. Otherwise it just should be a public utility that leases bandwidth to private entities.

It's a valid point but housing is more and more out of reach of folks. As a nation we need to open up housing opportunities. We've really regressed.

Well, my personal project as a voracious reader and critical thinker does needs censorship resistance on behalf of a diversity of authors who wish to publish their thinking.

Imagine if a sizable earthquake struck. Actually, let's not imagine it.

It's very shady looking into anyone's comment history and bring up other supposed dirt and use it like that. Smear tactic. Now you don't look so good either.

Most of the skill in that area is not working with the CMS but doing the crazy complex integrations that clients ask of them. (And of saving the work of not-as-skilled/too-skilled-for-their-own-good crowd.) Maybe more of a light blue c

To your point, I think a lot of folks forget how much "terraforming" we're doing all of the time. Entire expanses of grasslands and forests are growing and being re-leveled. A look at Google maps satellite demonstrates change

And it's done in full view of the public, but the public (or the media for that matter) doesn't really understand the mechanisms.

Here in the Midwest (MI) people beg for change on every other street corner. It's obvious to us here why things are falling apart politically. Whole cities have collapsed.

This would be preferable to me, which is maintaining some degree of power over my own destiny by being able to build my own economic value. I wonder why this is not a well received idea?

I admit to number 2, as a lot of us in MI did. I just stayed home because I was so disappointed in HRC. Fun fact, in my state the number of ballots with a blank presidential section exceeded the margin of HRC's loss in the state. This

Similarly, road signs are getting pretty dense in the area I live and elsewhere, too. There are so many warning and notice signs on the road in my new city I've found I've missed some of the more important ones until after more th

A bit of both, really. Users of fiat money have to trust the government's effective use of force in supporting the transactional utility of the currency. Examples of this sort of failure might be a hyperinflation scenario. Governments

Same here, I get wayyyyyy more than $80 of usage out of this software. I'm very very appreciative of the great work that has gone into this product and don't want it going any place!

Not sure why people are downvoting you for sharing your opinion on a light subject. (Even though I'm sure you have an accent!) It took me a lot of work/traveling around the U.S. to detect my own bastardized Michigan accent, which

I think it'd be an amazing PR move, to be honest, and one Amazon would profit much from and suffer minimal risk. Amazon has been criticized lately for eating retail and causing economic upheaval. Going into Detroit turns all that aroun

I don't think the SSN can be trusted as a key. They should be considered public data now. There's no going back.

Also good to remember a lot of donors prefer anonymity. You may not be aware of all the big donors. :)

On the plus side magic mushrooms generally are not habit forming. (Lots of sources out there on that.) In my own experience I remember thinking how it felt like a nice 20 hour scenic drive. After a long drive like that I was all set for a f

I get where you're coming from, but the increased effemination in men has been so pronounced in my own experience over the past 20 years I'm still chiming in on it.

DUDE. Me too. Looking at the latest wealth distribution data, the wage slavery thing is getting out of hand and we have a growing population without the infrastructure necessary for it. Yet we have the resources to tackle the problem if app

This is pretty much what I did, and although difficult I think the alternative would've been worse. Rehab for me, too. Can't help other people with a overly-broke mind/body. Didn't think it'd be so hard to break bac

An even better point than mine! Yes, developers (us) have enabled this situation, as well. Drives home the point of why I need to move on and be careful where I put effort.
