You don’t treat a couple hundred thousand dollars as an investment? Sounds privileged.

While I mostly agree with your overall comment, price-gouging is 100% a thing for certain items. Insulin is one of the big ones. It’s extremely marked up and the decision is life or death. Is it a choice when death is the alternative?

It’s from Amazon. It’s in their interest to promote themselves.

There’s a HUGE difference in the number of people who eat gluten-free and those who medically require such a diet. This fad will come and go just as many before it have.

I never said that this is a good thing. I’m just saying that the suffering will not be evenly distributed.

Vegan and gluten-free really starts to balloon the already immense challenge they are facing trying to implement here. I feel bad for the three people that actually need gluten-free, but everyone else will have to eat “that deadly gluten!”

There are consequences for everyone, but some people may come out ahead on this one. I’ve locked in a crazy low refinancing rate on my mortgage, I’m going to refinance student debt, and my child staying home saves me A LOT since I don’t hav

And just like that, the number of people needing food plummets. Big yikes.

I believe that that is the point of UBI. It’s a huge benefit for almost every American, but it’s not enough to live on as that’s the point. It allows you to pay for the things you need and maybe go out a bit to help stimulate the economy, b

It’s sad how accurate this statement is.

I would second this.

What blows my mind is how much I took my ability to cook for granted. So many people my age (millennial) can barely cook anything. I have friends who eat out every single meal of every single day. People give me weird looks when every singl

As someone from a very red, very “high-powered weaponry” friendly area, I grinned ear to ear at your statement. Don’t let a few psychos scare you. Guns are neato.

I won’t act like I have the answer, but I do have a complaint about the state of our news sources (specifically focused on the USA). A lot of people like to throw around the term “fake news” when they see an article from the news source tha

How so? They didn’t say the safety of drones are more important than the people of East Africa. Drones could very well be used to help combat this crisis. Have you considered not being upset just for the fun of it?

Depends on the job. My aunt is a recruiter for a factory in my hometown. Any human being with a pulse that can pass a drug test could walk in now and get a job paying $18-20/hr with only a high school degree. 1.5 weeks of vacation and

My hometown, rural midwestern location, has so many homes available and all of them are under $100,000. 1,500-2,000sqft and 0.5+ acre lots. Many could use a little TLC, but are in safe and livable condition. There are many factories trying

I’m not willing to find a source to back up this statement, but I’d be willing to wager that employees that don’t have nicotine in their system are, on average, healthier than their nicotine consuming coworkers. Pretty much every business i

I’m curious if the “dr” in their username is a hint. It could that this is only a good idea to those who have a doctorate and would directly benefit from it.

Seems like a dramatic example, but you are technically correct.

This is the kind of response I think OP was referring to.

I’m sorry to hear that. The defense companies I’ve worked for, big and small, have fought to retain employees. Whether it be the end of a contract or just wanting to change the type of work you are doing, these companies fought to find you

I am almost always against more government regulation and firmly believe in the power of our collective wallets. That being said, I try to hear out other viewpoints because it’s entirely possible that I am wrong. So, tell me, what law would

When someone says “full stop,” I like to wonder if they think that that makes their belief more correct than it otherwise would have been interpreted.

You are correct that private companies are adding cost due to the desire to make money. I think the issue with the “public employee $1 to do $1 worth of labor” is that you get a level of complacency with government employees that can be a h
