60% of the US national debt matures in three years or less. It isn't rational to expose yourself to that much interest rate risk, but the people taking on this risky debt on behalf of the rest of us won't be the ones…
Not to mention the fact that peasants typically worked from dawn to dusk.
Charity tends not to elevate anyone to the working class. Most money ameliorates poverty temporarily, is spent on fundraising and bureaucracy, or is diverted (stolen).
Robocars with shower, kitchenette, and bedroom would not be within the means of many homeless people. Edit for response: a robocar with all of these amenities would be an RV costing much more than $10,000; the land cost…
If the Bay Area were the entire world, I would agree, but most of the country is very cheap.
There is a part of the homeless population that will not stay in free housing, damages it when it's given to them, or is severely disruptive to neighbors, and refuses addiction treatment or returns to drugs immediately…
Some people are not currently worth hiring at any wage due to their attitudes, ability, addictions, or mental illness, let alone at a wage that would put them above the poverty line. Eradicating poverty is far from…
Our society is structured that way, except for the "without going on welfare" stipulation. A sole breadwinner with a spouse and two children making $20k will receive another $10k in EBT and EITC, free healthcare, and…
Mayer chose to pose in a fashion magazine. She wasn't "treated" any way in this case.
Can you go into more detail? It's hard to imagine how a test could be devised that wouldn't be gameable by giving answers that would be expected of a person with a normal personality.
That doesn't pass the sniff test. Slaughtering a few thousand stunned pigs would be exhausting. Killing that many people who are trying to kill you? Not gonna happen.
Why do you call them "dictators" instead of "royalty?"
Ukraine had just suffered a forced famine (Holodomor) that killed millions.
Crime victim surveys corroborate those figures.
What about dumb people? Anti-dumb discrimination is rampant in Silicon Valley.
What is the counterargument?
The flip side of this is that the economy has been absolutely grim for young, inexperienced workers for several years. SV is a small bright spot for the Lost Generation; boomers should cede it gracefully.
If they are, they're hurting themselves by overpaying for less valuable young workers.
This. If irrational bias is undervaluing a class of workers, firms can gain an advantage by hiring those workers, ceteris paribus.
He became vegan in 2011, after setting records.
What makes the FAU better than other German unions?
This is news, but is it hacker news?
City demographics are changing. I think it will become viable soon. Most San Franciscans are tired of filth and squalor, and moving the dependent population onto land cheaper by a factor of 100 is compelling.
Most of the people in dire straits in SF came here from elsewhere. I don't think subsidizing is the city's responsibility, and doing so only encourages more to come. I know this sounds harsh, but I can't see how…
Can you explain why the city getting more tax revenue and its demographics becoming more affluent are a problem for it to keep up with?
