You’re assuming that humans can be perfectly, mathematically, optimal, and this is basically never the case. Humans will always have biases, such as preferring those similar to themselves.

Freedom of speech is an essential but not absolute right. There are reasons to restrict freedom of speech in the name of greater good of the society that is enforcing that freedom and so the question is not whether restriction is just, but

I'm not Ukrainian, but I have Ukrainian friends that have told me both that I shouldn't say/spell "the Ukraine" and should spell their capital city "Kyiv" years ago, well before this current war (although

Have you ever filed your taxes by hand? The system is set up to basically force you to use a tool, and many tools aren’t free, especially if your income is above a certain amount. While not every point in the parent is fully accurate, dismi

Sure, but most families don’t make that much money so it’s kind of a false dilemma and so I disagree that “paycheck to paycheck” is rendered meaningless because in many cases discretionary spending simply can’t just increase because there i

Paycheck to paycheck generally means that there is little money left for “discretionary” spending, and even assuming there is a large percentage of people who spend when they shouldn’t, 61% is staggering and can’t be explained by that reduc

Oh, man, what negativity. Even if the term “half life” isn’t really appropriate here, it’s clear enough (and explained well enough) in the article. This isn’t a published scientific paper, this is an article likely meant for a more general

It's not great, and I do wish that the current coalition had prepared a bit more for this winter, rather than assuming 1. enough people would get vaccinated, and 2. that it wouldn't come back seasonally like last year. They really
