You’re right on all fronts. I’ll add that there’s a human element to both the plant and meat consumption story: in both cases, harvesting and slaughtering, the dirty work is often done by migrant workers with very little enforced legal prot

There’s a really good case for sentience, though. This isn’t a problem of infinite regression: no one is asking for you to become a Jain.

The other hesitation with “housing first” is that it’s associated with housing projects, aka ghettos. I’ve seen The Wire (2002-2008). Is what they’re going to build for the homeless going to be like that? Is it going to be where my kids pla

4.15% was 10x the national average when it was announced. Neither of the banks you mentioned have the Apple Card -> Apple Pay Cash -> Apple Savings integration. That is the main draw; people who are not interested in this integration

I suspect that the people who “matter” (frequent, registered, trackable users) are using third party apps or scripts over the service itself, so there hasn’t been a reason to invest in the interface. It feels like Reddit is in the same plac

It’s been mostly fine for me, but overall I am tired of every answer having a paragraph long disclaimer about how the world is complex. Yes, I know. Stop treating me like a child.

The extreme emphasis on monetary earnings is precisely the reason alimony exists. Not all labor is paid for with money. Emotional labor, child rearing, homemaking — these are difficult to quantify in monetary terms but certainly play a role

That was the administrative reason why the question was not permitted. The case was raised to begin with because of fears it would result in undercounting non-citizens, who would be less likely to respond because the don’t trust that the da

Internment started with forcing non-citizens to register with the state. The census question was essentially the same process, but on a national scale.

That’s a good point. Perhaps the interest rate could remain the same for people making over $60k and reduced for those making less, with none of the “capping at x% AGI” for those above $60k either. This would make it more dynamic for, I.e,

by 35997279 3y ago
Yeah. These numbers should be reduced by 50% at least, meaning maximum 60k for individuals and 125k for couples. That would be generous enough to not miss some HCOL middle class folks. And it shouldn’t apply to graduate school debt at all.
