In the U.S. walking has even been criminalized to some extent for those in out groups. For instance, if 4 black teenage boys walk together in an affluent, white neighborhood they can expect police to stop them. Walking is so rare that a s

First class has only a few seats so that isn’t a solution for everyone. It wasn’t just rich people who flew under regulation. My family wasn’t rich when we flew in the 70s. Also, the experience of flying in the 70s being much better than

Under regulation flying was so much more enjoyable than it is today. Yes, prices have come down but I’d prefer to go back to regulation. I’d be better for the mental health of the flying public.

Taking the phrase literally you are correct. As it is used in common speech saying “that makes no sense” indicates more a person’s position on a topic. I generally take it to mean that the person saying this is indicating how strongly the

I think Donald Trump is a man lacking any redeeming qualities. He is self serving, a liar, incurious, a charlatan, etc. He was right to pull out of Afghanistan and he was right about German dependence on Russian resources and he was right

Humans prefer to have barriers to completing a task removed. No clicks is much better than one click and privacy is almost completely dead. Privacy will slowly die unless there are major changes legally and culturally. It’s worthy to fig

In the U.S. a lot of emotions surrounding this topic come from racist policies/perceptions of the past. It’s hard to have an open conversation about this topic without someone resorting to name calling.

Can a severely intellectually disabled person learn calculus? It’s clear that not everyone has the same cognitive capabilities or potential. This is obvious. Your response is what I alluded to with my remark comparing talking about this

Can an intellectually disabled person learn calculus? Some people are so intellectually disabled they can’t even learn to use a bathroom properly. It is clear that not everyone can learn any topic.

Some people just aren’t capable of learning advanced concepts. It is obvious that this is so but saying this in higher education circles is akin to burning a Koran in Mecca.

I agree that the system is in need of reforms. I’m nit insightful enough to know what those reforms should be but I definitely agree that things are amiss.

EDIT: I understand your position. It makes sense. There is nothing objectionable with it. Below is what I see where the essence of the divergence of views on this topic come from. Have a great day! Three highly intelligent and very kn

The statements in the U.S. Constitution collectively have quite a few logical consequences. The 5 axioms of Euclidean Geometry lead to a vast array of theorems (logical consequences). The Court’s job is to navigate the logical consequence

The primary role of the court is to preserve rights. It’s job is to make sure laws aren’t enforced that violate established rights. It’s job is to tell governments at all levels that certain laws passed are illegal because they violate ri

Thank you for your response. Euclidean geometry is a vast subject with many theorems. Those theorems are logical consequences of the 5 axioms of Euclidean geometry. Just 5 statements are the basis for a large number of logical consequence

Texas will claim jurisdiction since in its eyes a citizen was murdered. Whether or not it stands legal challenges I can not say. Would you be willing to risk arrest if you were a doctor in New Mexico and a Texas resident comes to you for a

To have a properly functioning society there should be some level of legal uniformity on major topics. Soon two people will be allowed to marry in one state and potentially face arrest should they travel to a state where that act is illega

We will soon be a country where an act is legal in one city and a death penalty offense in another. This is an absurdity and such a state of affairs is not conducive to having a properly functioning society. It is not hyperbole to say tha

15% is far greater than what other car makers have raised their prices by. There is a discrepancy between MSRP and what buyers are willing to pay. Someone will attempt to capture that profit.

Tesla has increased prices a lot. What’s the difference to the consumer if the increase comes from the manufacturer or a dealership? Tesla also is known for delaying vehicle deliveries if you don’t pay extra for FSD. Tesla just appears t

You should about market dynamics and pricing power and whatnot. When there is an imbalance between MSRP and what buyers are willing to pay there, provided the latter quantity is sufficiently bigger than the former, then an opportunity aris

People commenting on this don’t seem to understand market dynamics. The price people are willing to pay for some vehicles is much greater than the MSRP. Someone along the chain is going to sell those vehicles at the greater price. It’s e

Tesla has massively raised its prices. Why does it matter if it’s a dealership raising prices or the manufacturer itself? The demand is greater than the supply and cars in the U.S. are essential for all but a few households. Prices are g

The fraud/theft I was talking about is seller striping the vehicle of parts and putting in used third party parts and reselling the original parts. Things like that aren’t done at the local Ford dealership. Well, there’s less chance

I don’t think you understand the market forces at play if you really believe this. If product A sells at MSRP direct from the company that produces it for $x and people are willing to pay $y for it where y is sufficiently bigger than x the

That is precisely the point I was making. The dealership becomes the scalper. Would you rather pay the scalp price at a dealership with the accompanying regulations and laws surrounding that transaction or pay the scalp price from someone

Tesla has significantly increased prices and such an increase lowers the ability of scalpers. I don’t know about Tesla’s policies on warranty transferability and I don’t know if that plays into things. Unlike other cars Tesla can remotely

Car scalping is a thing and it would be a much bigger thing without dealership markups. The markups at the dealership means a smaller market for scalpers. In the absence of dealership markups there would be more scalpers. https:/&#x

There’s a lot of justifiable hate against dealerships but I think the hate against them for markups is not justified. Clearly there are people willing to pay above MSRP. If the dealerships don’t markup the vehicles then scalpers will buy

I don’t advertise that I don’t care about cheating to the students and I don’t make them sit through a presentation either. The problem is that we need tuition dollars so admin isn’t going to expel someone except in an extreme situation.
