i'm not saying anything about the content of infowars but I can't believe how much money people will spend on "supplements", and pills and artificial products. and yet, somehow don't have any money for fruits, vege

if poverty is the cause of divorces/families breaking up then why does the US (a developed country) have one of the highest divorce rates?

I think you're right on the money. and it's completely Toxic. i would never work at a company like that. if FAANGs can get away with treating their employees like dog s*t then there must be vast over supply of talent.

One of the big takeways from Art berman, Nate Hagens and other experts on this subject is that the growth of GDP is very heavily dependent on Oil and it's impossible to decouple that within the next several decades. That may sound unl

you joke now (because oil is dirt dirt cheap right now) but just wait a few decades. I've listened to some of the most knowledgable people in the oil industry (Art Berman and others on Nate Hagens podcast) discuss Oil. And it looks l

a moat is any product or feature set so good that you absolutely need to use it or it's just that good. for example, Gmail and google maps was a moat for google in the early days.

all i can say that, is you better have everything in stocks, housing and gold, otherwise you're going to have one sad retirement.

but, could you just imagine having to filter through 45 GB of emails! to try to find any value in that at all, might be expensive, even if you try to automate it.

I'm able to fix the front flat tires much more cheaply: just the cost of the inner tube about 6$. but the flat tires happen most frequently in the rear. the problem is I can't remove the rear wheel myself because the frame doesn&

I spent almost an entire year e-biking to work 7 miles and back 7 miles. I can tell you, all the issues you mentioned are correct. I think, if we had dedicated bike lanes that were away from the main roads, at least we can address the safe

absolutely. pavement is just everywhere. loads and loads of endless pavement in front of every freakin store, whether it's needed or not. It's disgusting and dipressing to be locked in a concrete jungle.

sometimes, i wonder if those allowances for large trucks/SUVs/long wheelbase were purposely designed to subvert the stated goals of increasing MPG.

it's a good counterpoint. but basically we're saying the car is a good bandaid for the foolishness of city planning (spacing things way too far apart, having the stores be min of 2 miles from most houses, placing disproportionate

don't forget about registration costs, endless repairs and maintenance, parking costs. I'd love to live in a walkable or bikable area.

it's not so much about profit. your earnings (taxes you pay) are paying for other people's debt. and if you save up a little cash then you're really screwed because FIAT is loosing 5 to 10% per year: that's what pays f

and for the most part it's all those insanely expensive pickup trucks. you'd be surprised what people are willing to pay just for a crappy pickup truck (like 50k, 60k, 70k all the way up to 100k or more).

not necessarily. so many products are bought from a top down approach where the end user is not the decision maker. i mean, how many times has a company's top managers purchased abysmally awful software, taht then needs to be used b

When you build a business that makes money, you need to create value for someone. It can be anyone really: your neighbor down the street, people in another zip code or country, a demographic all over the world, etc. There's just one

personally, i can only extract so much meaning from the text itself without rely on experts and explanations. i find it helpful to have it interpretted as well by people like Jason gregory.

as far as vitamin and mineral intakes, vitamin C is the thing you need to worry about the least because it's so highly abundant in so many fruits and vegetables. I've calculated VitC density in foods and normalized it to calori

I don't understand why people are so against Advertisers targetting people based on their data? what are people so afraid of? the way i see it, the worst case scenario is you get an Ad for something you might actually like...

what really gets me, is when the CPUC proposes plans to punish energy savers by increasing the base billing rate and then reducing the per KW charge. It's the exact opposite of what we need to encourage for reduced power consumption.

And, if you're LDL is high or you're on statins to counteract that, then you should definitely stay away from the full fat dairy as well as the eggs.
