The poorest countries all have something in common, which is overpopulation. It seems as if the poorest have enough offspring so that they are always on the edge of starvation. I wonder if by giving them additional money, so they can have

When I think about UBI, I keep picturing a group of pidgeons fighting over pieces of bread. I don't see UBI as freedom. It shares a lot with slavery, in that someone else is feeding you, and therefore has control over you. What I hope

As a manager, having a bunch of naive hardworking employees under you is a lot better than having skilled but knowledgeable workers. The problem with the latter is they can seem to know more than you do at meetings, lead teams themselves, a

I don't know, it's just a feeling. His song, "Gucci Gang", gave me a really strong reaction the first time I heard it. I kept thinking of the whole western world, and what is happening to it. For context, I'm in my

Lil Pump is also a band that is having a hard time with drugs. But I think some artists can handle it. Lil Pump is just so strong of an artist, I don't think drugs can really stop him.

I'm surprised the article didn't mention CRUTs (Charitable Remainder UniTrusts). The idea here is that you "donate" an asset that has immense unrealized capital gains taxes attached to it. The donation sits in a trust, t

First, Facebook isn't the only place to share revenge porn, so they aren't really solving the problem, only reducing it slightly. Second, security by obscurity is not a good thing. Not running the algorithm locally, not to mention

People have been smoking tobacco for thousands of years. I don't think it's become such a terrible vice in the last 10 that it must be banned.

But they do know that some of their parents, friends, uncles, cousins, grandparents smoked and lived happy lives. Instead of diving into obscure statistics finding things to worry about.

Wow! I didn't know you could make $10 billion from renting out a tower and having a tv-show. Maybe the government should build 100 of these, and hire 100 idiots to run them and start their own tv-shows. They could earn $1 trillon and p
