We as a society are fine with mentally unstable individuals having access to multi-shot, and semi-automatic handguns and assault weapons. When a person takes one of these weapons and begins indiscriminately killing people it's not an &

This will be the 2nd time the Swiss watch industry takes it on the chin. The last time it was just Seiko with their quartz watch in combination with the fragmented Swiss watch industry which prevented a cohesive response. It will be inter

You’re wrong Quincy agrees with the article. The emotion part is what the article addresses. You gotta have that “swing” and that can’t be learned or taught, it can be enhanced, but you can’t practice into having it. As Quincy says it c

I blocked Grammarly at my last company, nothing like giving a company tracking access to everything you type or read, and their EULA gives them the rights to everything they track. Using Grammarly is stupid, paying them is downright insane.

I think these 3 will no longer provide health insurance for their employees, they are going to create a new more affordable framework and they will allow any other large company to participate. The goal will be keep the cost of insurance th

What worries me the most is the fact that monitors and phones are outputting light directly to our eyes. Almost everyone, at least in the U.S. has both computers and phones and those devices output light directly to our eyes. Where as, ev

Almost all animal testing is done on animals that manufacture L-Ascorbic Acid in their liver. L-Ascorbic Acid is an incredibly powerful hormone and completely discounting it's presence is foolish at best and negligent at worst.

Seems like a pretty effective method for terrorism. I'm afraid of the police because they are essentially unchecked and usually their behavior is rubber-stamped. The simple fact that they charge into a situation without ANY reconna

Wouldn't just limiting the selling price, like what Apple does prevent this race to the bottom? Nike would still be free to pursue in store unique "Nike experience" selling pods with those 40 or so retailers.

That’s possible the funniest thing I’ve read in years. Governments, banks and corporations aren’t going to let it happen. Cryptocurrency will either be co-opted by these groups or outlawed altogether. The people who run the world aren’t

For the U.S. this will be a non-starter. Most people in the U.S. don't want lower income people to have access to Universal Healthcare, Universal Basic Income is a joke concept in the U.S.

The only solution is for employers to stop offering healthcare. Give the equivalent in salary to employees and let the employee figure it out. When this starts to en masses healthcare will get figured really quickly, i.e. single payer The

Health insurance is also part of the rigged labor market. The only reason big companies offer health insurance is because it limits employees's freedom. It would be easy for the Fortune 100 or 200 in unison agree to eliminate health c

What a fucking joke. Apple is sitting on almost 2250 Billion and they won't bring a penny of it back to the U.S. because they don't want to pay some tax. The rich people who are making the congressmen and senators rich are making
