But if it doesn’t square with the rest of the language, especially since negating it somehow still means the same thing, can we really accept it even if some grand institution like “Merriam Webster” adds it to the collection? I guess I’m a

Asking in good faith: data to back you up? Just my anecdata, growing up living in apartments with 8 siblings at one point, many friends who grew up in foster homes and trailer parks - maybe 1 or 2 I could recall who were “doing everything r

I was very deliberate in avoiding calling you racist. I said explicitly and deliberately that your comment (not "you") seemed (not "certainly was") inadvertently (not "intentionally") racist.

The current solution is to sacrifice the jobs, opportunities, mental health, education, and futures of the young, where the young is anyone not retired. Why should new graduates lose their offers and join a massively setback economy with 40

Your comment seems to exude a kind of inadvertent tone suggesting "they fault is not with them, but in their lack of civilization". In other words, it's likely racist. By GDP per capita, India is where the US was at in the 19

Well I don't want 12 kids, but my mindset changes if enough kids means early retirement ;)

Yikes, I appreciate the insight into your perspective but this terrifies me that otherwise intelligent people hold the disgusting ideas so confidently that you do.

Except my caste clearly has distinct disadvantages whereas "white privilege" is justified with unequal outcomes. There's causation with caste, but poor justification beyond correlation with "white privilege" other t

Apparently so. I don't disagree that you'd be well-off, but you couldn't never work again without a very frugal life, you couldn't vacation every month, you're entire subsistence is still tied to your job you must w

FAANG income certainly isn't "rich". Maybe you recognize this and I'm just picking semantics, but I've noticed this annoying trend of FAANG engineers who crack $1m at 29 acting like they are a member of the rich whe

I made Zip to take the amorphous and cloudy concept of "staying informed" (especially during these last few months of rapid, world-changing developments) and turning it into an effortless, clearly defined action: getting exactly w

That's fine and reasonable on an individual level, but not only does it seem like a clear case of violation of duty to shareholders to make otherwise unsound biz decisions on the basis of "it's moral", it's also jus

I can't help but feel like this is a result of capitalist optimization, melting pot culture, and declining religious adherents among other factors. In other words: the cities are reflections of the individual level, where diversity in

I disagree that it is evidence of some "lacking of personal responsibility". There are many concerns here from the health of the elderly to the potential unknown long-term effects of Covid-19, and so on. Another is the potentially

I think most Americans agree with a more middle of the road approach: that both companies and govt can be evil and shouldn't be given too much power. Most disagree on where the lines should be drawn with both entities, but the root con

Nitpicky, but calling something R^3 outside of an academic context when '3D' suffices leaves me feeling oversold and underdelivered. This is 3-dimensional, and no further info is added with R^3 while only making it slightly less a

As someone also from a low-income rural community, I'd say that entire scenario you presented has problems deeper than removal of social systems. If you were to rank worlds from best to worst, I'd say it looks like this: 1. The po

Definitely agree with this. I have a roommate that serial dates and she's gradually gone from "im getting over my breakup" after dating a man for 3 years to "ug can we just get rid of men" and telling my girlfriend

This is very true, as an American. There's almost no difference in the vast majority of daily life for most Americans if you just pretended like the president doesn't exist.

All of these are extreme and very myopic takes. 6 figures of student loan debt? That's < 5% of all borrowers (and many of those are post-grad education), 92% of Americans have healthcare and a fraction of the already small number of

Don't get the idea that those are free lunches. They are factored as an expected value in your total compensation for sure. It's part of the reason that median incomes in the US are much higher than Europe and everywhere else: les

Many localities, states, and the federal government have programs to freeze rents, mortgages, and provide assistance in the form of interest-free or low-interest loans to help you make ends meet if necessary!

1. Most of those problems are being tackled: localities, states, and the fed have interest free loans and many have frozen rent and evictions (for both residential and commercial real estate). As far as that goes, 1-3 months with the above

Except local and state Govs have thought of that. Many localities and states have rolled out rent-freezes and interest-free loans to stop-gap those issues.

Why? This demand contraction is sector specific and largely due to a temporary shock. Tons of companies are doing fine, and local, state, and fed have programs to stop-gap a lot of these issues (interest-free loans, tax cuts, loan freezes,
