I would think a top performer would like least the tenure system, as they're in demand but their job outlook stunted by (perhaps numerical minority) crusty elements that can't be supplanted.

Norway overhauled their prison system in the late 90s, and their per capita mass shootings since then far outweigh the US. They're at like 20x the US for 2009-2015. Even if you do the total rehabilitative 20 years or so of data they&#

What do you think happens if you violate a court order? That's the threat behind violating the order of a judge. That it didn't happen doesn't mean my statement was incorrect. If they had actually left in contempt of the o

If I sent you a link about a person's funeral to show a person had been born, would you not accept that either? The article is about the funeral of the order.

Why not claim you have engineers that deliver the best value to shareholders? Employing the smartest people in the world to make an app to skim money off taxi going from point A to point B can't possibly be a judicious good value use

How in the hell does one not make a profit when literally all they do is skim off the top of unlicensed taxi drivers, using an already fairly functional product?

If Kenyans are truly economically undervalued you can create a mint for yourself by exploiting arbitrage in the marketplace.

Above I was told "results are what matter" (articbull) while advocating in support of the Norwegian treatment of mass killers. The results are in and Norway is one of the worst places in the first world for per capita mass shootin

If you want my solution, here's roughly what I would do: Victimless crime: basically no penalty for this, most of it should be eliminated as crime. Maybe a small fine or education at the worst. Non-violent crime: Goal is restitution.

The expensive part is largely the (comparatively) exhaustive appeals process, which means counterintuitively the innocent may be even worse off now that they won't be on death row.

by notch898c 3y ago
Don't death row inmates get the most exhaustive appeals process of practically any class of prisoners? Honestly if I were innocent I think I'd prefer to be on death row which has the most costly (to the state) and exhaustive of a

Nice. Yeah it'd also be cool to easily see which European banks accept offshore US customers. It can be a real struggle finding offshore banks that don't mind dealing with FATCA for low value accounts.

I picked location US and tried to find popular locations like Panama, Singapore, Bahamas, UAE(Dubai). Nothing came up. Are there any good filters to pick for offshore from US banking? Or something like "exclude my current location f

None of the above "gun violence"/"senseless violence" things given as reasons for gun control happen to my family on a regular basis either. By your logic I should question the choice of gun control .

>The rate of murder is 73 times more than the Netherlands. No the absolute number is 73x, the rate is like 8x. Since you've cherry picked a European state, I will now cherry pick the state New Hampshire. Murder rate New Hampshire:

How do I protect my toddler from all the criminals who keep their guns? Call the police and wait 15 minutes?

FGC-9; everybody in Europe who wants a gun can trivially have it within a week without interacting with the criminal element or buying regulated components. That goes for modern ammunition too.

I would also revoke all the mandatory reporting and other reporting laws for therapists, and remove the ability for government to use therapy/medical records for considering licensing or security clearances. These are barriers that ke

There are ways to mitigate, but not eliminate, the presence of traumatic situations. Whether that is the purview of government perhaps is another question. I suspect war and bad family environment are a massive source of trauma of US perso

It's a good list for under 30s probably. Taking care of demanding and constantly shifting needs of young children easily bombs half this list.

Lawsuits are indeed an interesting way of enforcing the law. Although what I find particularly egregious is when a single party and lawyer is used to enforce the law for multiple people, keeping the payout for themselves. For instance, Alb

Of course what follows then is the implication the individual is not misguided in selecting for desirable traits. You're basically arguing perhaps for something like decentralized eugenics rather than authoritarian eugenics.

I'm sure my account will be banned soon, so let me just leave one pondering here: Does many generations of slavery and the associated genetic selection for winning survival strategies impose shifting genetic attributes to the surviving

Depends. If someone seduces a doctor (see the trial of Conrad Murray who was Michael Jackson's propofil fixer who was in deep shit to multiple strippers for one night stand child support) for 20% you could take away 40k tax free and m

Thus it is misguided to pick a mate based on desirable qualities? Or it is OK for the individual but not individuals at scale?

In the US lower incomes are associated with higher fertility rates. This may suggest the elites, to 'solve' this problem, should bankrupt the population further and then give them lots of time unemployed to spur "free"
