I should have been more diligent by including suburbs in my comment. Furthermore, you're very right that the water and sewage is even more important than roads, and that overbuilding happens in the suburbs. But you may also have an ove

I was saying that you help Them, not the reverse. And if they're completely unclear, but I think they've put some effort into making some statement that just isn't coming across, I just ask. Something like "could you cla

I think the effect of this is most insidious in infrastructure spending. And I'm not talking about major highways, which naturally go through rural and poorer areas while actually serving the urban areas they connect. The urban areas t

As a mountain Virginian, let me add that even the coast is a completely different story from the great place where I live.

It's very common (a) for 7% to be an unrealistic return for pensions, given their allocations; and (b) for pensions funds to estimate even higher (8 or 9%) growth rates. I can't speak to the majority of pensions funds, but there a

In most places around the country we need substantial decreases in infrastructure projects, scaling down of what already exists, and a much more thoughtful (does it fit the place, as well as fitting the urban road code?) application of the

It's my understanding that he's been putting his own people in high military positions for a while now. So it's not surprising that he could have short circuited the coup mechanism. Having said that, I stayed up watching the

Are credit unions not available to you? The only banking fees I've ever paid in my life were foreign transaction fees at ATMs in China and Spain.

If the article is posed as a question, the answer is almost surely no. Having read the content of the question as well, I now have two reasons to come to that conclusion.

Another front page thread tonight has multiple people saying it's 0.4 hereditary at childhood, rising to 0.75 by adulthood. Height is 0.8. I take those numbers with healthy skepticism, having not read the source material, but they aren

It's like you're dangling a pinata and yanking it away at the last second. If you want to talk about your particular backwoods place, name it with greater specificity. If you want us to focus on labor force participation rates vic

In my family, we had four boys swimming competitively. So that's club fees for four, plus 20000 calories/day total if you figure each parent at 2k and each kid at 4k. My parents also paid for car insurance, which may as well be pa

So maybe hold the cash and short-term assets you feel compelled to have, and index the market with the rest? It may decrease in value for a time, but if you avoid realizing those losses, it'll likely bounce back. If you think the whole

I believe Ford actually released very disappointing figures in the past few days, so you can move that from the 'speculative' column to 'concrete'.

The rich get richer, and the poor get children. There's a book I read recently that I thought did a good job looking into the demographic and social shifts associated with women having high workforce participation. It's 'XX F

I recommend searching "sharks eating the internet"so it can become part of your Google history. I searched and found some videos of sharks biting, and some people discounting it.

I'm not going to defend all defense spending (and I don't know much about healthcare, though I expect it's similar), but much of the cause of huge expense for defense projects is that they're buying standard deviations.

Anecdotally, I have an instructor whose teaching I can't stand, despite her excellent teaching style, because her voice feels like it's hitting the resonant frequency of my head, and I get a headache after 40 or so minutes.

They actually used to be thinner, especially at shallow depths, but they had to add some extra sheathing because sharks were attracted. They'd go down to fix a break and find shark teeth embedded in it.

The problem with this is the expectation of a 5 star review for adequate performance. A lot of reviewers view 3 stars as "I didn't like it, but at least customer service didn't screw me and it didn't burn my house."
