In the US, they do.
In 1979, 13% of US hourly workers were making the federal minimum wage. By 2025, that number had dropped to 1%. Inflation-adjusted wages have been at worst stagnant. Inflation-adjusting prices is necessary for these…
Yeah it's really messed up that middle class people can't afford to...rent movies...anymore?

> In matters of bathroom, locker-room, and sports segregation, universities will define sex categories based on reproductive and biological criteria. In other words, trans people can't use the bathrooms matching their…
> Your example proves my point. If there are no judges, the government has to let you go free. That happens, you believe?
> For example, do all people have a right to health care? No, because, in the extreme, it leads to logical contradictions with other rights. (E.g. Doctors being forced to provide care at gunpoint.) In the same vein,…
Yes, but it's nonsense to equate identity with difficulty. The goth scene originated in a London nightclub, for goodness' sake (the Batcave). There are goths in every big city, and in a lot of cases they move to places…
Basically an uninteresting conclusion. Of course a "non-expert" reader isn't going to be able to distinguish between AI and Walt Whitman--a "non-expert" reader likely won't even know who Walt Whitman is. "Expertise" is…
This is a genuinely awful poem, and if you wrote it, you should feel bad.
Fine art is a matter of nuance, so in that sense I think it does matter that a lot of the "human art" examples are aggressively cropped (the Basquiat is outright cut in half) and reproduced at very low quality. That…
Which do you think is cheaper to produce, agitprop or deep investigative reporting? If no one pays for news, which do you think will grow in proportion to the other?
> My point is that if a musician is good, they will earn money proportional to their success. If the argument that it's the promotion that makes them successful, then the argument is less correct today than ever before…
That's an Oberheim, very good demonstration of the distinctive Oberheim sound actually.
Your position isn't in a good place if your argumentative strategy is to search out bad motivations in those who disagree with you, rather than laying out a positive case for the position itself.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience in Vancouver. But in my experience, bad and even extortionate landlords are not limited to cities--they absolutely do exist in suburban and even rural areas.
Living in a city isn't going to be much fun if it's a crappy city, sure. You can say it's not a dump area, but I'm sorry, a city with zero museums and only two coffee shops is just not much of a place. I've lived in…
The degree to which the SAT is coachable is a subject of debate. The biggest studies have suggested that even private tutoring has an effect of less than 40 points.
Boomkat is also good, different selection than Bandcamp but comparable in size (they definitely have some Japanese stuff that Bandcamp doesn't, e.g. Tzadik's Japanese music line).
Do you really think it's worth reading poetry translated via Google Translate?
There's always going to be some kind of gatekeeping at some point in the process--even in a purely digital marketplace, there's limited attention. Small publications like this are pretty much the least limiting form of…
The volume is higher, by a lot. More books are being published now, because the barriers are so low. The problem is that the quantity is overwhelming, no one can sift through all of it. Literary magazines were never…
If it was published by economists, in an economics journal, doesn't that suggest you're condemning the wrong field?
