I suspect this is what is taught in college these days. I would add punishing people for hard work seems to be more of a Stalin thing.

Why? I see people on HN indiscriminating shitting on Republicans. Why can't take a shit on an idiot on the left? Is that stated policy of HN that only people on the right can be shitted on?

Didn't AOC disseminate that information to her minions recently? It has probably infected some of the HDBs on HN.

You could harvest some of the goats for meat. With some being a number less than the natural rate of increase of said goats.

You didn't understand what I wrote. I am talking about the group of people that were uninsurable because of preexisting conditions. This group of people was used as a reason for the ACA. However when a pilot program was run before t

Was the ACA the best to address the problem of pre-existing conditions? https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/06/why-has... "There were supposed to be millions of people who were uninsur

I don't under how government pensions are stolen. If the funds are mismanaged, the taxpayer is responsible for making up the difference.

I didn't say uncontrolled growth was better, I said a vacant building tax would slow or restrict new development. Of course there is waste, this is part of the cycle of boom and bust. The people that mistime the market will overbuild

Really? Why is it always better? Does this rule only apply to real estate?

by lamarpye 7y ago
That sounds like a great way to slow down real estate development. Make sure there is an additional cost if you oversupply the market.

Really? They are in the best position? I see articles all of the time saying the US has too much retail space: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-retail-apocalypse-has-of... https://www.forbes.com/sites&#x

The article you linked said that 50% was the average difference. What is the median difference? Without that data you can't really tell, if a degree pays for itself.

I like how we instinctively characterize prisoners as slaves. Seems like it trivializes actual slavery, but I have been out of school for awhile, so the conventional wisdom is probably different now.

This is certainly one way to look at it. Personally I see a lot of difference between the Axis and Allies, but I have a sense of proportion.

The US allows around 1 million legal immigrants every year. I don't see how this is moving an in opposite direction from Japan's recent changes.

Your link doesn't list the reason for extradition, doing some research on this issue, I see parental kidnapping generates a fair number of extradition requests.

I keep looking for excuses? Let's recap: I blamed the Motel 6 policy on the local ICE satrap. No you said, that is amazing mental acrobatics, it is Orange Man's fault. I point out the policy started out under Obama. You change t

You are correct, the Republicans were in charge of the Senate in 2015 when this policy was in effect. I acknowledge my mistake. This is something that you are unwilling to do. This post is on a particular policy started during the Obama a

by lamarpye 7y ago
No, you are not. You are blaming Trump for a policy that was started when Obama was President. This isn't a "whataboutism" situation. When called on it, you tried to blame Republican Senators, even though they were in the

Aren't bank teller wages determined by the market? I don't see how they are underpaid if their salaries are market driven. Edit: Strange. Getting some down votes. Is it because bank teller wages are not market driven or is it

The one is San Jose is even worse. You have to show up 2 hours before the Post Office opens to get a spot.

Because Obama is in charge of the Executive Branch, the President sets policy and Obama was President for 8 years. I also don't have this cognitive dissonance where I blame the current occupant of an office for the policy his predecess

Why was this particular policy started under Obama? Interested to hear your mental acrobatics. Let me apply Occam's Razor, a lot of government employees are lazy, so going to the Motel 6 makes sense. Get the names, run some queries,

Are most of these Canadian visa holed up in the various Motel 6s in the Washington area? I imagine the ICE fished in this area, because it was a good spot to catch fish. In general, I don't think much of the government, but I am sure

What were they doing then? I would love to hear your theory.

by lamarpye 7y ago
Your comment seems to be saying that this is the case here. Otherwise, why invoke Rosa Parks if there is no connection. I am sure I can find a long list of murderers and rapists that ICE has deported from the country, does opposing ICE me

Why does the fact that someone is staying in Motel 6 need to be admitted as evidence in court? People aren't being deported for the crime of booking a room at Motel 6.

Seems like a solid business plan; better than Lyft or Uber.
