To add: there are over 4 million nurses in the US.
But then you're talking to people who got caught. Of course PayPal makes it easier to handle money, but it also leaves a big paper trail.
Of course there are ditch diggers. You can't dig everything with a machine.
And the ditch digger requires the engineer to tell him where to dig. Digging a hole for no reason isn't very beneficial. Even if you take away this public infrastructure you would get private infrastructure in its stead.

This is how you get more nukes in the world. If NATO wouldn't help protect the Baltics, Poland etc then it's pretty clear their only option for long-term sovereignty would be banding together to create their own nuclear…

As a species on the planet? No, there's nothing bad about it. But it's going to be bad politically. It will shake up the power of countries when population numbers change and no country wants to give to power.
I have a difficult time understanding this. I was a kid that was rebellious, but in a way that didn't get me in trouble. When I read stories like this I get an intense feeling of fighting back, or at the very least,…
The other strategies are clearly not working though. Birth rates have at best stayed steady or declined.
This is a good effect for the economy though. The customers are benefiting from it. Not so great for Uber though.

On that note we should ban everything recreational, inefficient, and made for comfort, except the things I like. People would benefit from living in smaller houses when it comes to heating too. Should we legally mandate…
You're not wrong there. The US is definitely on the list of countries that I don't want to visit. Albeit for other reasons.
That's true. I guess it would be difficult to avoid places where this obligation exists without knowing about it beforehand.
Putin isn't the one pressing the button to shoot a missile that hits a kindergarten. He's not the one that's threatening you with a rifle. It's an average Russian guy that does it. It has been an average Russian guy…
If Russia manages to occupy Ukraine through repressions then wouldn't this invite Chechnya 2.0, but with 30x the people? Can the Russian state even survive something like that?
But over the last decade journalists, as a group, have taught me not to trust them.
Is this why the US has focused so much on the ability to shoot down ICBMs? Because if they can shoot down even just a few tit-for-tat doesn't really work against them anymore.
I think even if Ukraine had done nothing they still would've been targeted by Russia. Look at Estonia[0] and Georgia[1]. You could think of them as preludes to what happened in Crimea. It's the same excuse - "we are…
One of the scenarios I keep thinking about is what if either side uses just one nuke. They let the other side know that they're going to use just one and do it. Do you respond to that with your full arsenal? Do you go…
I'm surprised by how little small (civilian) drones are used in general. Simply having the ability to see much further than your troops are at seems like it would be very useful. Perhaps batteries are a problem?
You mean "historical Russian territory" that the Russian Empire took with conquest? Maybe France should retake historical French territory from the Napoleonic era too?
It's also possible that in a creative industry like that you can't be as controlling when it comes to employee behavior. The people coming up with crazy new ideas are probably more eccentric than average. It might not…
