Last time I saw these stats the amazing thing was how little they had to do with income. A huge chunk of people even making over 100k had essentially zero savings.
Which rights specifically?
It should be noted - this definition as genocide as destruction of a culture (instead of physical murder of a people) also supports the idea of "white genocide": A targeted effort by people with power to liquidate white…
"It is a SCAM and will steal your seed!" I'm getting General Ripper vibes over here...
>incel, red-pill, and proud boy ideas that you must refrain from "spilling your seed"—that your reproductive emissions contain some of your essential energy What you're describing is called NoFap; this community is…
Is it a "structural" issue? Or is it just the fact that, statistically, poor people are really unlikely to pay back loans, so loaning to them profitably means charging really high interest? Or is that a "structural"…
>the desire to preserve the inferior status of blacks has motivated policies against all members of the low-wage sector. So your belief is, the dominant economic-political movement in America regards "preserving the…
Another mode of travel doesn't seem to be accounted for: Travel for pleasure. Not to score social points. Not for meaning. Just to relax and feel good for a week. Weather can be a big factor. In the middle of five…
Grandparent didn't imply it was a triumph of foresight, but rather a failure of foresight. I think that's what he's saying - a general point that people's understanding of climate (and thus predictions about it) are…
Or maybe - and call me crazy here - men and women are different, and want different things, and therefore, as we reduce discrimination, nearly every job and hobby will end up with a huge gender imbalance as individuals…
I'm curious, what's the definition of hard vacuum? Obviously there will be a few nitrogen molecules bouncing around in there so it seems there must be some arbitrary cutoff.
Yeah, there are a lot of confounding differences between Americans and Norwegians here. History, terrain/density, climate, culture, and even genetics all likely play a role. Not just policy. I would be curious to learn…
True, it is a de-facto outcome that constitutes a punishment. Still totally understandable from an employer's point of view. e.g. How much of a discount would you need to hire a nanny previously convicted or domestic…
After the Spanish flu, multiple near-missed accidental nuclear launches as well as political crises during the Cold War, September 11, SARS scare, Ebola scare, weather events like Katrina or the Ottawa ice storm, as…
In Tokyo they test the public emergency speaker system every day. At 5pm they play a 30-second traditional Japanese lullaby. If you ask people, they say it means it's time for children to go home - though as far as I…
Those three dots are doing a lot of work.
There are a ton of citizens who would benefit from college but can't afford to go. I struggle to see the utility in discriminating against your own poverty-stricken countrymen in this. What's the real motivation?
Given how absurdly twisted and misrepresented the Damore memo itself has been in the media (calling it anti-diversity when it was pro-diversity, posting it but silently removing links to sources, stating that it says…

The main thing that turned me against the modern left is the insistence on categorizing everyone into identity groups, and then treating their individuality as less important than the groups they represent. For example,…
>Most poor people in the US are women and their children. What a strange statement. This would be true if, for example, poor people were 33% men, 33% women, and 33% children. It would also be true that "most poor people…
Our economies of wealth are not built "on the back" of the people in the soup kitchens. Those few people who are going to soup kitchens are typically so crippled by their own internal issues (e.g. mental illness,…
Not every human endeavor has to make a profit. However, most do have to make a profit, otherwise total wealth decreases until we all starve to death. If an activity doesn't make a profit, generally people unconnected…

Because they don't trust the Iranian government to provide accurate and complete information about her. Previous administrations may have extended that trust, but that doesn't prove they were correct to do so.
