"But today, in a period when employment and earnings are vastly better than what they were in 2010, the delinquency rate for student loans is more than 11 percent..." Might wanna check your crystal ball on that one:…
That'd be a pretty neat trick considering the world record for a basic cube is 4.73 seconds.
Scott has some really weird alt-right tendencies that make me pretty nervous. Rationalizing xenophobia as doing what's best for America (with absolutely no evidence to back up his actions) isn't, 'wanting to be right'.…
In the extremely unlikely event that CA actually attempts to secede from the States, I'd say there is a non-zero chance that WA and OR will probably come with. That ends up being about $3,000B of GDP lost, and more…
If you think 'millions' of parents have that kind of wealth, you are sorely ill-informed of what the socio-economic state of the country is. What irks me, like I said before, is that so much of this is attributed to…
The family's achievements are 'having lots of generational wealth'. If you are suggesting that having a lot of money growing up, whether or not you have direct access to it, isn't a Very Big Deal, then I will gladly…
> actually, I think a lot of the points he makes about raising kids are applicable to less-fortunate families. Doing chores, their approach to schooling, food, family vacations, community service, backpacking and…
Then why write it at all? The entire piece is structured as a piece to inform. It's not written as a piece to entertain -- That structure would include things like anecdotes, stories, little events that happened that…
It's great that a wealthy family tries to instill good values into their kids, but the idea that this kind of model could translate to everyone is a prime example of socio-economic ignorance. The thing that actually…

For nearly all the products I buy, I'm definitely 'dumb'. I have a narrow expertise that gives me insight into a narrow set of consumer products where I can effectively evaluate product quality and value. For nearly…
That's not at all true, and that level of ignorance is actually quite dangerous. Scientists in no field are punished for disagreement. Even in really fringe science, disagreement is not only well-funded, but encouraged.…
The science behind nutrition health is extremely complicated and expecting it to remain constant represent a total misunderstanding of how nutrition research is done and how results are determined. > The history of…
Carbohydrates are not a bad thing and are indeed an important part of health. The current suggested diet doesn't say, 'bread'. It specifically calls out Whole Grains, which a great deal of evidence suggests are a Good…
Ayn Rand was wrong about a lot.
The problem I foresee with Thunderbolt 3 is that it's serving a use that few people need at a price that no one wants to pay. The price-point issues might disappear with the USB-C compatibility, but even then, the only…
I was going to write this up as well. Also, you can probably extrapolate as far as, 'Most people's politics don't make sense.' The general electorate is extremely uninformed and disinterested in the details of policy…
Close, but more something like: "Liberals seem to universally believe that the status you are born into will probably be the status you stay in your entire life." The important distinction here is that competence isn't…
> Do you consider losing %98 of its value "stable"? Yeah, I don't understand how inflation works either.
That's the American dream if you were born into the means of achieving the American dream. Libertarians seem to universally believe that everyone is just born with wealth, or that if you bootstraps hard enough, you are…

If your job sucks and makes you depressed, you probably should quit. If you can't quit, you should re-examine your values. If you are willing to give up your happiness for someone else's more power to you, but then you…
It's less about the customers and more about the folks that work there. "Getting a different job" is not always an option.
