Obligatory: but then you have to live in Detroit. His story is interesting from a handyman/do-it-yourself standpoint, but it doesn't seem all that pleasant.

How would you even construct a law that bans adblockers but not accessibility features?

That mental image is pretty funny.

I think a 70-90% cut is probably closer the the right ballpark. I've long thought that ads cost me, the viewer, far more in lost attention and annoyance than they give a monetary benefit to the website owner. I'd like to see the

You mean "breath", not "breathe". You mean "bated", not "baited".

One issue is that the $800 that keeps getting quoted as the offered compensation was not cash. It was $800 in vouchers for more United flights that have redemption restrictions and a 1-year time limit. I guess it's worth something to

Yea, that's what the E-fund is for. What percentage of the people declaring medical bankruptcy had health insurance and an E-fund to cover the deductible plus 6 month's expenses?

I'm unconvinced that this measurement of income mobility is a good thing, and I'm confounded that it gets talked about and referenced so often. The frequency at which I'm hearing about this makes me suspicious that it's

I would argue that good ideas matter a lot, specifically what one studies and/or what job you choose to train for and how you go about doing so and how much time you dedicate to it.

I would reframe this as the cause being lack of health insurance and an emergency fund capable of paying the deductible on said insurance plus 6 months of expenses in the event you're not able to work. Those two things don't guar

> many of the issues tied to the destruction of the middle class are much larger than just job availability. Isn't job availability the biggest issue when it comes to destruction of the middle class? Could you name a bigger issue?

Too political? What politics are you talking about? I think the comic is great, and keeping with the tone of the rest of them.

I agree that it's not as big a deal as the host is making it out to be. People drink and have sex in hotels and AirBnB listings all the time. But it's worth pointing out that AirBnB requires that you declare the number of people

I rent hotels and leave "condoms, tissues, and empty bottles of wine" all the time. That's what the staff is paid to clean up.

I left them out because the purpose of schooling is not to serve the administrators. In any event, MIT grads may graduate with debt, but I think (as a whole) they'll probably manage just fine.

Everybody involved, I would think: the students themselves, their parents (who presumably care about their kids), and any taxpayers who benefit from having a minority be more productive members of society.

dang, I think koolba had a good point and was not trolling. It's an open secret that the US government tracks mail, though I think the details are not well understood. USPS has probably been taking pictures of the outside of everyone

This is probably a first step towards a ban on all flights for that exact reason.

The lendee can't default, but that doesn't mean the loan gets paid. Some people just don't have money/income/assets to seize, and courts will not garnish poverty wages.
