Right now adult Americans can freely chose to live with their parents, and overwhelmingly chose not to. The article links ownership to costs. Attributing diminishing ownership as "norm float" needs some justification. I suspect mu

Generally agreed. Though, Daniel Tiger and Paw Patrol should be judged differently. Paw Patrol is mindless and addictive. If you desperately need a distraction, PBS shows are less bad. A few moments of pacification may be worth not disturbi

Crystal errors tend to be around 20 ppm (parts per million) After a week, 20 ppm would drift 12 * 10^-6 * 7 * 24 * 60 *60 = 12 seconds. Your motherboard probably has a cr2032 keeping it powered when unplugged. Crystals: https://w

Yes. Holding gold in the US was illegal due to executive order 6102. There's no need for mental gymnastics of blaming energy. Just one powerful guy says "no" and poof, its illegal. Now laws or logic required. There was an exc

We can restrict cars and build public transit. Cars are the #1 killer of Americans under the age of 25. It only falls to #2 at the next age range because of overdose deaths. Cars are deadly and inefficient. Electric cars are still cars.

Your suggestion is not in opposition to repealing zoning restrictions. You can do both, but one should happen first. Zoning laws restrict what builders can build. Subsidies take funding. I find it unpalatable to have a portion of my income
