Would have been nice for the Guardian to be upset about corruption and criminality in Venezuela over the past two decades. But no, it's time to blame America for that country's demise just as it's about to have a revolution a

I think it's because he's a Nobel winner that agrees with the sympathies of the readers of the New York Times. This way the readers can think they're smart, since they can understand the writing of a Nobel, while not being ch

Yes, statistics speak for themselves. Minimum wage is roughly $10 and a meal at McDonald's is $4. Perhaps there are reasons for "food insecurity" that are not the fault of the society in general.

You're equating "food insecure households" and "lack of retirement savings" with poverty. In America, the supposedly impoverished, the "food insecure", are more often obese than not and their retirement, t

Can the Czech afford to have decency and replace the stones? How much could it possibly cost? How are they not disgusted walking on those streets? It's funny how stories like this are cause for some to be upset at being reminded of the

How many would you expect to worry? In a rich country with ample jobs and cheap food,I don't worry about it much either. I've seen poverty abroad, so maybe I just don't see what Americans call poverty as poverty.

The Uyghurs in prison were not available to participate in study. Nor to comment.

You must understand the economics. Newspapers have zero cash on hand these days, so their choice was to fire staff to allocate money for GDPR or not. Seeing how staff is at a minimum, that was the practical option. Result is equivalent to c

I don't understand the difference and where one would draw the line between small and large businesses. What about medium businesses?

Are you sarcastic? It's often difficult to differentiate a Nazi from a nanny.

It's not clear what's going on with GDPR, good test cases are only now starting to be tested. But the fact that many American newspapers, for example, are blocked in Europe is certainly something to worry about.

The people already voted. There was a clear understanding that that vote was the one and only. There wouldn't be a vote at every step. Britain is a representative democracy and the representatives deal with the details.

I was impressed by the concern Turkey had about the journalist Khashoggi. Obviously some journalists are more journalistic than others.

Actually, people do avoid bad neighborhoods and suggest to their children and others to avoid those. There's a reason, many actually, for freedom of speech. And all those reasons are more important than your feelings.

You can use the stars to set time too: https://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Navigation/ESA_sets_clock... To claim that the two radio stations in Colorado and Hawaii are our last grasp on time is a bit of a stretch.
