Can you give me examples of where police were actually defunded?
"I would strongly recommend you to reconsider wether thats truly the root of our problems - it's not." Can you back that claim up? "Try to understand the underlying systems that drive our behavior." Is the financial…
Needlessly politicizing a refusal to engage with science that doesn’t meet a pre-determined narrative of YOLOing freely to oblivion! How rude of me! Of course healthcare is political!
Risk mitigation whilst hospitals are at capacity? Nah, gotta live my life! Otherwise they might perceive me as weak-willed, and more important than my continued existence is to ensure I am not perceived as a weakling!…
Willful missing of the point. Also not implying that the outcome is anything approaching a good outcome, just a grim Darwinian one, where thinking responding to covid in any way to improve life expectancies is just some…
Flu season doesn't lead to insanely high excess death rates, and overwhelm hospital capacity, making things like biking now a much higher risk activity as any visit to a hospital due to a broken bone or something is far…
What would you define the events on that day as?
Enjoy the crime wave seems similarly inflammatory and impolite, but I find HN moderation frequently falls on a certain "if you say something rude/inflammatory but phrase it a certain way it's okay" which drives me up…
I always am asked when I say we should reduce policing budgets, "have you ever needed police?" In my experience, they've always been either so late that myself and neighbours have had to get involved in breaking up a…
No one in these situations ever talks about political capital. These shame based tactics arise from our powerlessness, as whether consciously or not, people who care about the environment realise that neither party, nor…
Those in lower socioeconomic classes are the ones I've known who've gotten it, mostly because they were forced to work in offices or some public facing role where they had to interact with a lot of people. There is a…
Firing whistle-blowers is pretty egregious. If we can't try to fight for a better world after all this is over, what are we even doing besides just idly watching hundreds of thousands die?
May I ask why you hate linking to wikipedia?
Fiscally, yes.
Yet I find the discussion focusing on the meta level of the conversation medium, and not on the higher-order level of society in general, and how a paid collective of actors can overwhelm the power of the individual, to…
As Australia's "left wing" shift further right after their recent election loss, and the most popular newpapers reflect a right wing Murdoch perspective that seems to sell well, one which frequently decries any green…
What does the continued distractionary tactic by those in power in government and the media, (especially in the UK relating to trans issues) of wringing hands over gender and sex have to do with a site ostensibly about…
I'd have to disagree about work strikes and riots, given how conditioned this country has been to lick the boots of the powerful, as a large chunk of this country sees itself as "temporarily displaced rich". Hacker News…
I feel like the outcome of the case discussed here runs completely opposite to the outcome of the Marvin Gaye estate against Robin Thicke and the other writers on Blurred Lines, whereby the song, without any sort of…
What would you define as the third party in cigarettes? Smokers and cigarette manufacturers seem to not have some negative third party by your definition, yet I find it pretty hard to accept that the current legislation…
Why not both? People selling physical goods bake a certain percentage of shrinkange into the price of their goods whilst also finding new ways to prevent theft.
I find FT's reporting far superior to The Economist and the Wall Street Journal
I get your point, but isn't the parent to my comment equally as sarcastic a rhetorical response?
Or it's news because funding education is bad and it's that vile socialism thing Obama was doing!
