Pfft. LOL. Read Nadine Strossen. Learn a little. Stop using phrases you heard somebody dumber than you say.
I'm a fan of Google Maps and I'm not an American. For fun, I will often plunk myself down into an American city in street view and outside of the major metropolitan areas on the coast, there is one very very evident…

"sharing economy" Found the dissonance. Tell us more about magic elves and lizard people.
You clearly haven't got the first clue about how Americans live. In 90% of America, you need a car. It's not debatable. This is a country that has spent the last 70 years spreading out on cheap land. Any place outside…
The sail. You're welcome.

Just another corporation stepping in to do the work an ignorant, ineffective populace is too stupid to demand from their political representatives.
The question about what you'd do with a BI really relates to each of our ideas about what work is and what it's for. The other aspect not being discussed is how sustainable is the idea that every able bodied person…
