Las Vegas loop, instead of a tunnel you drive in or a subway, he took the worst parts of both and made something worse. The whole is worse than the sum of its parts
It's not that simple. It is mortgage+insurance+maintenance
Rent is just rent.
You MAY be able to resell the house if the location is somewhere people want to live in several decades. All it takes is a major economic source to dry up. A military base closing, a factory shutting down, etc can wreck your property value.
Good question...me too. Most office apps are browser based now. Sometimes you have to build things from source to get bleeding edge versions of things, but a good Linux admin will have no trouble rolling their own repo with their own packages for the bleeding edge stuff. Most of the time the repo versions are fine though. The only thing I maintain from source on my personal machine is GnuCash.
Because that would require a constitutional amendment. The GOP would lose the most so not a single red state or GOP senator or congress member would vote for it. Amendments take a 2/3 majority or a constitutional convention, which requires 2/3 of the state governments to agree to it, which is even harder to pull off.
On a serious note, Jason's scale makes sense in a way. Anything over 8 is try hard range.
Perhaps we should create a new unit. Some options:
- Chidi stomach ache seconds
- Chidi indecision minutes
- Shawn chuckle seconds
- Trevor star rating
I'm hoping it is just an extended support option for EOL versions.
A lot of things aren't taught that should be.
- Tulsa Massacre
- Pinkerton Massacre
- Shirt waist fire
- Redlining and other forms of discrimination against non whites
- Henry Kissingers Vietnam plot
- Battle of Blaire Mountain
- The history of US drug laws
- Early Squabbles between Christian sects
- Of course the business plot
- How corporate lobbying has affected how we run critical things like transportation and medicine
- How early gun control laws were specifically targeting the Black Panthers
It is all the corporations but not how anyone thinks. Corporations want you to buy things. That is all. Corporations shifted it to the consumer with the whole reduce, reuse, recycle thing. The average person in the US buys way too many things. The FIRE movement recognized this in the 2010s. Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin figured it out before they wrote the book Your Money or Your Life in the 1990s. Every dollar you spend = emissions.
Last, I present the great George Carlin:
If one of your employees gets hurt at your business, it's better for you to stand on their neck until they stop breathing than to call for help, because it's so much easier and cheaper to settle a death claim then an injury
That is because of regulations that pass the buck. If the US had public health care, and fines for negligence and OSHA violations, this wouldn't be true. Public health care would be the best thing for small businesses because it removes the health insurance benefits and workers' compensation issues completely. One big problem with the GOP is they are half right a lot, regulations are problematic, but not in the way they think. They take this half rightness and use it to do the wrong thing.
Disingenuous...wow. Sometimes people just disagree and for good reason.
Buying a house is not a guaranteed way to build wealth. Ask those thought bought around 2008 and lost their shirts.
It doesn't ALWAYS make sense to buy or rent. The honest answer is it depends. A location might be great..NOW. Case in point, Detroit. Lot's of factories closed down. Or military towns during the many base closures in the 90s.
People buying houses to rent can and do lose money on it.
