Not sure how you can justify the pied-a-terre tax by claiming it fights against antisocial behaviors. It just is another funding stream.

Typically, all single payer medical cost schemes are based on government facilities and intervention. Many Americans have little faith in their government to do anything, much less handle there medical care costs. This is why the employer m

I almost pulled the trigger on a Prologue; so glad I had second thoughts. Even though it was essentially a GM product, I've only ever owned Hondas, so I thought "Well, at least I can get service at my Honda dealer". Charging

Joanns died b/c of two things - they stocked items no one really wanted, and they doubled down on that by opening way too many stores. With a focus on fabric and yarn, they would still be here - maybe. Handcock Fabrics went the same wa

I think that was the previous posters point - any teaching on a moral issue will ultimately have overlap with real world issues. A homily about gambling would be right in line with religious teachings - the timing is really what is at the a

Or more likely, the safety measures were bypassed because they were a PITA. You can put all of safety measures you want on equipment, but humans have this insane mindset of faster = better. Yes, that includes top to bottom of companies.

The subsides were during Clinton and Bush 2. BMW and Mercedes were here long before Biden and Obama. It makes good sense to manufacture your product in the area it is sold - that's the real reason for their mfg base establishment. Not

You see a lot of this in US Korean places (at least outside of Atlanta). The robots are a novel touch.

The NYT has obviously not been to Atlanta, especially in Duluth, where is the heart and soul of Korean food expansion - so much so Google Maps lists it as Koreatown. This is a worldwide trend - new markets are available everywhere. As a cap

As was the administrations of Clinton and Obama. The real issue is they (whomever is currently in power) can do these things, and there's nothing we can do to stop it from happening.

One item not being discussed is this took place during the last administration - not Trump 2.0. None of this is new - it's being going on for years.

The larger question is why is the US Government giving Columbia $400M when their endowment is $14.8 billion with a 11%+ RoR? That's 1.6 billion/year. https://endowment.giving.columbia.edu/endowment-performance-...

Not sure why this is news - it happens every time a big one comes across the state. When Michael hit, we didn't have gas for a week.

It's more about tricking HE machines. Instead of the Smart Water setting, use the large. Always use the Deep Fill setting (if the machine has one). Always use the double rinse - gets rid of the detergent residue. I've not tried ha

But for decades, the US economy has sold SFH as just that. Every time I go to the bank, I get solicited by a bank employee to take out a HELOC.

Others, though, see increased higher density housing as more traffic, increased crowding in existing schools, and lowering property values. At least in the US, higher density housing in the surburbs is seen as a negative, even if there may

In exurban Atlanta, my home has been broken into 3 times in the past 4 years. I was home for the last one; I was alerted by my Ring doorbell and the crook never got past the front hallway. While I live in a city with a (relatively) large po

But property taxes are local. Raising them only supplies more revenue to the local area. For the US, also, one needs to take into account many states have limits on property tax rates and revenue raises in general, such as millage rates hav

Unless, of course, you live in an HOA which requires you to not leave your clippings on the lawn. If only there was a place round here where there wasn't an HOA!

Human nature - it is a b*tch. Let's face it - as you say, most people are looking out for themselves; they rarely, if ever, think about the cashier or stock clerk who's working 3 jobs and still not making it. And it's not a &

If only we had gone all in on Beanie Babies. We cleared $20K+ selling BBs on the side of the road that year. I wanted to spend our whole savings and hire people to sell them for us - we were buying them out the back doors of Hallmark stores

Not sure about your location, I see about a 50/30/20 (white/black/Hispanic)racial mix at my Atlanta Bass Pro gun counter, which about matches this counties’ demographics. People just want to be able to protect themselves
