Stadiums have signs though? Clearly lit pathways, signs, and directions to all the exits. I'm pretty sure it's the law to have those (at least for fire codes). I would be highly surprised if people followed their nearest neighbor

If you define poverty as income related to costs of living and obtaining necessities for living, it should be entirely decoupled from income inequality. If the poorest 20% of americans had their incomes triple over night without a correspon

I agree that humans and "the public" are not perfectly rational people. BUT, I don't know that any system that does not treat them as such is any better. Then systems put in place by people who think they DO know better are n

What's the history of a state fully funding a drug (not talking about basic research)? Has a government developed, tested, approved, and provided a medicine? genuinely curious, but you can't forget something that hasn't happe

I love the civ games and Civ 6 as well, but I fully agree that the gameplay can become a little tedious at scale. Moving large groups of units deters me from wanting to play really large empires despite it being my favorite playstyle
