100 years of inflation has destroyed the purchasing power of the poor and middle class. If your mam and pop does not grow 2% a year its a shrinking business and eventually there is nothing left. Big corps seem to make it work by bending the rules. But the little guy gets screwed. The rich tax rate is like the murmur show to distract us from losing everything of value.
Yeah I heard that argument from the “right” and “left” yeah people would gamble all their money away then what.
Its basic income, if you want more go produce something. But we should treat people like adults and stop treating them like children.
i’m not buying it. Sure he could be a confederate apologist but if you are writing a song about some rich old dudes in DC screwing the rest of us over its some hard rhymes. When I heard the song he pronounced the word “rich men” and “richmond” nearly identically. I was like what does “rich men north of rich men” mean, then later I heard “richmond north of richmond”
Looking at the lyrics he was complaining that we have people in the streets with no food to eat while there are obese people getting fat on welfare. Sounds like he thinks government is incompetent.
I saw a stat years ago that if we took all the money we spent each year on welfare and just gave the people those programs were trying to help straight cash we would have 5x the amount needed to push them all over the poverty line.
I was talking about the starting of new projects
But disposal/storage of waste is baked in to the cost of nuclear. The economics of solar and wind don’t include those which is why we have windmill trash heaps
If we required the recycling cost to be covered in the purchase of solar cells and wind mill blades would this still be true.
I always told my kids the monsters were in the closet not under the bed. I also introduced them to hand puppets named chewy and Bytee. They were monster ostrich that lived in the closet, there favorite food is my kids which they nip at and the kids all have found it hilarious over the years. Also there was a monkey that slept in the closet when the zoo was closed. I told the kids I was renting out the closet space. Have three kids 13, 11, 4 none of them were ever afraid of the closet or under the bed. Any hint that they thought something was in the closet and I would go full conspiratorial and confirm there is “something” in the closet. That always seemed to work well apposed to denying their fears.
I have the HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw I love it. I got it new last year. Sure its been complaining about low toner for 90% of that time but it still prints and they look great. I don’t have hp software installed, I have the wifi turned off and just use the ethernet hookup. airprint from my phone works great also. Its never once refused to print because one of the toner colors are empty. Sure it complains but it still prints. I can’t say the same for any inkjet I have ever owned.
Never buy consumer grade printers. If the ink is more expensive than the printer you are going to get hosed in the long run.
I had a brother laser before but it pulled so much current at warm up that it caused a brown out that tripped all the ups’s in the house.

Lagrange point station would be neat.
python is like this also. I don’t remember a language that returned ints
I guess it may depend on the rights of scooter. He may only have rights to the recordings themselves and not the lyrics.
The “mainstream” media has not been mainstream for years. News Paper replaced the town criers. Radio Replaced News Papers. TV replaced Radio. Internet replaces legacy media. Its just how this works. The future is not centralized. There will never be a time again where 3 broadcast networks are allowed to control the news. This is good
I got a promotion. There was no raise in salary just expectations of more responsibilities. I got a $100 visa gift card. I saw that as a big fuck you. I was out as soon as I could manage.

Insanity has been an ever present factor for the court.
Not engaging in interstate commerce effects interstate commerce. So everything effects interstate commerce, wow.
sure but If I need something fast and don’t want to roll dice and raise suspicions
If I can have ai generate npcs and monsters that would be awesome
I feel like Universities are like spinning disks in a computer their time is not long for this world.
I don’t goto libraries for basic research. Sure libraries still server a purpose but I think covid taunt us we don’t need to shove a bunch of kids in a room to learn especially at the college level. Sure dedicated schools should still exist for doctors and engineers. But if you just want to learn about things we have the internet. Certifications / Bar exams could replace degrees for many professions.
As a software engineer my degree didn’t mean much after my first job. Hell when I moved to California I was 1 of two people on the entire team that had a degree. The other guy had an english degree. Most everyone was sell taught.
Just seems university schooling is wildly expensive for what we as a society get out of it. You have tons of people with degrees working minimum wage jobs unrelated to their field of study. They were sold a lie that if they got a degree regardless of what it was in they would make tons of money.
Most of the mess in the middle east was the British and the French taking random swaths of land after WW1 and say hey you guys that hate each other you are a country now figure it out.
Edit: Then we found oil
Facebook was the same. A company would hand them a token for a visitor that went to their site like say Amazon. They then tell Facebook if you see that visitor token show them an ad for this vacuum cleaner. No information ever traded hands except some anonymous id and money.
But I have had places actually sell my information. Comcast Various Banks The State of California
I had a weird last name attached to Comcast never used it anywhere elae. Started getting mail from various companies for Rev WeirdLastname
I registered an LLC, all these compliance companies now send me mail. Thanks California
Tech companies not so much they just target ads and I can block those
