Right, an interesting read that covers this a little is "The Origins of the Urban Crisis" by Sugrue. Black people and Women entering the workforce was against Union interests since it increases the labor force. In many cities, bui

You probably should specify the city you're talking about. Those seem like pretty specific complaints. I think the main thing that can be generalized across most of the US that you mentioned is the grid system, with parking lot islands

Yeah, since most or all of our interactions with authors is their writings, if they say asshole things, then we think they're assholes, which is reasonable. But among the people I know, I know some who run their mouths too much but are

Polar seems neat. I'm a little confused by the landing page. It says Offline-first, but you can use git or dropbox to share between machines. fine. Then later in the page it mentions Cloud Syncing. What's the distinction here?

The PHEV prius doesn't have AWD. It's a higher trim for a normal prius only. And the Crosstrek gets pretty poor mileage for a hybrid after the battery is empty, probably because it has "full" AWD. The Prius has a more li

Upper class is a bad descriptor, and many working class people do shop there, but I think Costco does have a bit of an upscale connotation. A different one than whole foods or a natural food co-op, but I think it still has one. It's no

If it's anything like weed, than actually less similar to cigarettes than existing vapes. Sniffing snuff is much stronger than cigarettes but less intense I would say. Like if you don't smoke a cigarette could give you the spins,

Cigarettes taste like burning paper, and at their best smell just OK, but most smokers aren't walking around with cigarillos, despite the better ones tasting and smelling very nice. It's about nicotine delivery, and even the new h

I see. I was thinking of Goldman's earlier writings that more about the NEP, but I see that "There Is No Communism in Russia" has the distinction between nationalization and a true "public" ownership. (And it is tru

That's true, though I think mainly because of things that changed as the decades went along, but people were calling the USSR economy a "command" economy since nearly the beginning.

I thought so too, but at the very least it is confusing in this context.

I listened to this on NPR earlier, didn't reread it, so I don't know if this isn't present in the piece, or other posters just didn't read. Miners said that the respirators got clogged quickly, and it would feel like som

Many grocery stores all over the US have that. Not for fresh spices though, maybe the poster was thinking of fresh tarragon, which is typically sold for around $2.50 for far more tarragon than you need for a single portion of anything.

No, they really wouldn't. About yearly for an individual? How many of these incidents would the cops even be involved? I doubt most instances of vehicles being damaged the cops ever get more involved than a report filed days later to s

Ooh, I love the smell of lavender, but I've only had it in desert foods, which didn't work for me (lavender and lemon cake really rubbed me the wrong way.) I've never even thought of lavender in more savory food.

But a web page that consisted of people saying "My partner dumped me, but now I'm dating someone much hotter" wouldn't be seen as particularly valuable. Not all diary entries should be public, even if the feelings expres

I was being tricky here but I mean the AMA. It controls a great deal about doctor's education and working conditions. It does not collectively bargain, so it's not strictly a union. But it's more powerful than most unions at

by uxp100 8y ago
But Doctors have a very strong labor union, which tends to advocate FOR this system. Probably even though the AMA represents residents, doctors who have succeeded in the residency system have more sway within it.
