This why we need the tiny home movement combined with progressive property taxes - 0 prop tax bracket for lowest 20% property values If you have mortgage then you don’t really own your house.

Yes but they’re also politically biased. Not to mention, the enormous amount of web content that is effectively banned from seArch engine results due to low prestige

Considering just how toxic the modern day diet is, I’d say most people are in big trouble

They said t was a boat fuel. So how do you avoid it? Just don’t eat seafood??

I agree with most of these but the cause isn’t computers. Computers are just another thing to add to the list

They’ve got a lot less time than that. Check out Nate hagens work on resource depletion and you’ll see to simplify it x1000, it’s a matter of a century or two left before the high tech comes to a halt.

To be clear, it wasn’t ruined by lawyers. It was ruined by copyright laws

The copyrights by gosh 18k per month. Either fiat has continued its crash or their overcharging for copyrights. It’s a disaster that these things exist quite as long as they do

Do you think there’s a threshold at which point non libertarians would agree taxation is theft? Perhaps when gov spending is 80% of gdp ? 90%. 100%? 110%? We’re already now at 44% here in the US. And if you’re in the Bay Area or tech, al

Yes. Switching from usage charge to more fixed charges will increase bills for low usage users and decrease bills for higher usage users. Not exactly a green solution

Taxation should be done by government not utility companies. I’m deeply disturbed that such a thing could even be proposed And handing out subsidies for electricity/energy usage is the last thing global warming needs. And this is huge

Sure a carbon tax would be ideal but if you can’t accomplish that then outright ban might be needed in desperate times

This will come a surprise to many but we’re a lot closer to peak oil than most people believe. Some of the latest research from scientists like Nate havens shows it’s happening within the next few years. Even she’ll has said their productio

Yes! Thank heavens people are finally starting to see the light. All these nonsense “modern” frameworks with their broken layers of abstraction need to read that article by Joel spoelsky on leaky abstractions. And don’t be afraid to use

Yes. For the longest time everyone was saying there’s no way the fed can raise rates above 2% without completely crashing the economy because the entire world was “addicted to low rates”. Whatever happened to the crash?

Yup. In the summer people around here pay 300$ per month mostly just to water their lawn. And that’s at a mere half cent per gallon. It’s just that the typical lawn uses such a vast amount of water.

Absolutely. Identification and all the labels you carry are the source of most conflict. Sages of the east have recognized this for thousands of years and seek to dissolve the ego, dissolve all the labels that we think we are.

Going on less than 200 calorie diets for days or even weeks on end was the norm in humanity for millions of years so how is it unhealthy all the sudden? It was a time of constant mass feast and famine alternating from one to other. The pr

One thing I’ve learned the hard way is that you need those little gasket seals on the inside to avoid a leak but if you over tighten the connection with a gasket inside you can actually get a leak just from over tightening it!

Cities have much lower standard of living because no one can afford shelter. There’s too much traffic which means you can’t go anywhere except walking range. So there may actually be equal or less to do in the city simply because your rang

It’s not about the people that get laid off. It’s about the other 85%. Companies figure that a higher level of fear will increase people’s willingness to work overtime on weekends and nights too. Most people don’t even realize it but that’
