All that's changing, though. The younger guys eschew tattoos and finger chopping. Plus, they view drugs as an increasingly important part of the business. They're being driven slowly underground with changes in the law, and when

Insurance companies are pretty heavily regulated for just this reason.

America doesn't have loads of money. Individuals living here have money. There's a big difference.

Why not? Florida was the new Cuba after the revolution.

People get Teslas because they want something different. If you put the normal carnival barker salesman up there prospective customers will come away thinking "Hey, that kind of sounds like every other pitch at the car show I went to.

I didn't mean that to be interpreted as scare quotes, rather that there's a lot that goes into that concept that isn't reflected in the word itself.

Yeah, the console sort of makes that route impractical, doesn't it?

Little slow, though. I'd rather wrench open the door manually than wait for that thing. When Musk demoed it he slid in sideways so it wasn't so obvious.

Yep. People with money who're going to be receptive to the "sustainability" pitch.

If there's space between the front seats you could get through that way.

Looks nice. Is this really an SUV, though? It looks like a sedan.

That's only true if you believe the you can add up the value every employee produces to get the value the company produces. But the company produces more than the sum of its parts. Or should, anyway.

>If the solution were as simple as getting a bus ticket out of town, don't you think more people would do that? (Hint: it's not that simple.) Yes, the solution is really that simple. Why don't they do it? Moving sucks.

I can absolutely say with a straight face anybody who drinks or smokes could instead find $24 for a bus ticket. Have you ever been to a poor neighborhood? Every other shop is a liquor store. The owners of those stores aren't keeping

How many people don't have contacts anywhere? No family or friends, nobody from the neighborhood who joined the military and moved away? That's just inertia.

I'm always amazed that poor people seem to be able to afford cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol, but they can't scrape $24 together for a bus ticket to Chicago. I have nothing against people who want to stay in Detroit. It's ju

I suspect most of the marketing money goes to drugs drugs you might want but don't actually need . Allergy medications, pain pills, and pecker perkers.

You can't know that without knowing how many would have been charged had they not been police officers.

The governor of Oklahoma can delay the execution or commute his sentence (which she seems disinclined to do), but not the president of the US. POTUS can only commute/pardon federal crimes. I not sure about the court side.

That's not true. They officer who shot Walter Scott has been charged with murder.

Your country sounds like California. We have almost 750 inmates on death row and I'll be surprised if a single one gets executed.

Not everyone agrees on what constitutes progress.

by tsotha 11y ago
That would cause change, but in the opposite direction. People would rally around judges and prosecutors and you'd see fewer people questioning the status quo. It would be a disaster.

We don't do that because we don't want to create a two-tier college system where people without money all get shuffled into the same colleges. Under the current system it's already difficult for non-rich kids to get into a H

I'm not sure this is even possible. Many of those extra bureaucrats are there as a result of some Department of Education mandate. Of course there's inefficiency in every large organization, but that doesn't mean you can get

Actually, it's mostly related to a falloff in demand: "After mid-2014, the lion’s share of the decline in oil prices has been caused by negative oil-specific demand shocks and, to a lesser extent, by negative aggregate demand shoc

Child rearing was always considered an important task. The particulars have changed over the years, but the idea isn't new at all. I don't think it's so much that women are subconsciously setting the bar too high. Rather,
