The problem is in the United States, most people don’t really know how they are doing. I don’t know how I’m doing right now. If you asked me you wouldn’t get much of an answer. I might say I’m doing just fine to end the conversation. But

Essentially you stop spending money to maintain the city. You no longer pay out any government workers, you stop paying for police, roads, etc. Just nothing. Let the people fend for themselves and reclaim the city how they see fit. The city

I disagree. I get pissed off when revolutionary scientific news is brought to me only to turn out to be some bogus crap. I don’t care about the replication and peer review process, it’s not fun, it’s banal. I would much rather have preferre

Yes some place will feel it somehow, 70% chance it strikes an ocean and creates a tsunami. But the world will go on, people will shrug their shoulders and go on with life. If it was a 60 mile wide asteroid, now that would truly be the end

Your priorities are messed up. A self driving car for what, so you don’t have to drive back and forth between your $25k job?
