There are too many loopholes with holding property. You can create and diversify among enough companies and eventually you won't have to pay tax at all. No politician will vote for this because they know where their bread is buttered.

Then we need to fix that. No state will pass legislation along these lines because it will put them at an economic disadvantage to every state that doesn't.

We really need some stronger regulation on renting. I'd like something along the lines of federal rent control. Limit the rent that can be charged to reduce the profitability of buying up house after house. This would be unpopular with

I wouldn't recommend using weights for any kind of distance. If you want to up the intensity, it's generally considered safer to do 400m/800m sprints, hill sprints, sled/prowler, etc.

The disenfranchisement is seen as part of the sentence. Traditionally, the crimes deserving of this were very serious such as murder, rape, felony robbery, etc. The people committing these crimes were considered as having violated the socia

Multiple school officials were actively participating in the demonization of the business and using their authority to create economic sanctions on the same. I don't see how you can justify their behavior. Especially since Gibson'

I hesitate to demonize 8ch solely on the basis that they require legal protocol to be followed. I expect all organizations to require warrants before handing over data to the authorities.

Leisure is one thing but mindless consumption is another. I worry about the future of the world's societies as they venture further and further into a state where consumption of media becomes the ultimate goal of life.

A lot of our environmental issues have gone out of vogue because they tend to clash with the trendier value of immigration. It's easier for politicians to grandstand about carbon taxes and straws than face the real problems.

I've seen this tossed around a lot the last few months, but I've yet to see any evidence of its truth. Do you have a link to a study or some other source for this?

I've always been amused by the conspiracy that flat earth is a smoke cloud put up to make all conspiracy theories look bad.

A lot of the phones in the US will have a radio but no internal antennae. The radio is only activated when headphones are plugged in as they become the antenna.

Surprisingly, Techcrunch is a great example of a site that works very well without JS. Very clean. Nothing makes me happier than rolling into an article and not having to enable JavaScript for 50 different domains to read 200 words of text.

But political subreddits didn't start seeing bans until 2016. Around the same time, the face of the major news subreddits drastically changed as well. I don't know if it was a result of the election, but the timing does seem to co

I'm sure it (far-right violence) exists. But most of the videos I have seen online show antifa initiating violence. As far as I can tell, antifa seem to be the soldiers for the extreme left. Are we just more willing to accept their beh

My first is on the way. I can't say for sure what my views will be in 5 years, but even with pregnancy I know there are things that could go wrong. Will I suffer if something goes awry? Absolutely. But will I let it adversely affect my
