Interesting. Can a state or a county decide that killing people or bank robbery is OK? I am honestly curious.

I can’t imagine Mars soil having any usable nutrients since there are no microbes or any other biological activity. You probably have to bring or produce all fertilization from scratch.

Maybe we should eliminate nationwide regulations on theft and violence too? Let the locals deal with these things since they are local issues. That way municipalities with funding problems could save some money.

Very true. Especially the petty drug arrests they have to do are poisoning relationships between cops and citizens.

So we don’t even need to to pay more. Just better management, training and accountability.

I work in medical devices. I don’t have to take liability insurance to do my job. I get training on FDA regulations and if I don’t follow them I get warned or fired. We also have internal and external audits with Independent auditors that h

If that’s what’s needed to attract reasonable people into the police then so be it. If we aren’t willing to pay for proper training and supervision then we have the police force we deserve.

"So, we should have the cops take out liability insurance and pay damages?" No, they should get proper training and be held to professional standards.

At least the municipalities then would have to choose between never ending payouts or fixing things.

That’s very doubtable. I would guess biggest cost is salaries.

The companies that are renting their space also have fixed costs.

We may do better than the bankers who like to design fragile systems as long as they can make boatloads of money :)

It should start up when the renter is not forbidden by government to make money to pay rent.

This would make sense to me. Why are some businesses being shut down and have to deal with income losses and others like landlords can keep going and demand their income? This seems fundamentally unfair to me.

When I look at this chart I see ups and downs but overall a pretty steady upward trend. I don’t see eights years of Obama misery and then triumph under Trump. That was my point.

“Your "dream" job at a FAANG might be more unpleasant and boring than you've been expecting.” The money can compensate for a lot of unpleasantness. I think finding a “dream job” is an illusion for most people. The question is

From what I can see the real problem is that most people don’t care about facts anymore. They just want to hear what they think anyway and the political parties are too happy to feed that. When you talk to left wingers and right wingers abo

How long does something have to sit still to take a picture? Is there an exposure time?

" So you have a general response police unit, which is unarmed or lightly armed (taser / nightstick, etc). They would respond to most situations, and would be highly trained in de-escalation techniques. Then have the backup units

Did you read the article? I think not.

I agree that police is being pushed into policing things they aren’t suited for. For example, cops just shouldn’t be in schools. I think the biggest crime is the drug war. Most aggravations come from drug related arrests.

Price transparency and making extreme price discrimination illegal should be the first steps so people can discuss solutions based on hard data.

The US health system is geared towards ripping off patients as much as possible. The treatment is fine but the billing side is basically criminal.

Better to enforce the current laws. That should be sufficient.

Very true. You should think that LAPD or NYPD should be good examples how liberal cities are running great police departments but that’s clearly not the case.
