This is why we need new housing to exist at *all* in-demand price points (not prioritizing subsidized units).
Every legally occupied home is an affordable home.
Your local developer knows what's *actually* needed.
Regulate ONLY safety & durability.

It's totally fine to design cities for the middle 90%.

With all (undo) respect:
1) Drivers are NOT allowed to be "errant" at high speeds.
2) When they do become errant, it needs to result in an airbag deployment (NOT a flattened pedestrian).

All Public Sector unions need to vanish.
The role of a Union is to assure that company profits are passed to the workers.
Public Sector work is fundamentally without profit, so there is nothing to redistribute.

No.
There is no reason to do this.
All compensation for labor performed should be in greenbacks.
Use those greenbacks to buy healthcare at the sipplier/insurance of your choosing.

The bar for successful homeschool should be no higher than the bar for a PubEd diploma.
PubEd doesn't even require English or Algebra skills to obtain a diploma, so why would calculus or foreign language be expected of a homeschooler?

When we limit the search to "unimpaired drivers traveling below at speed limit" how far down does that number drop?
Do not prioritize the health & safety of the reckless.
Prioritize the health & safety of others.

I'm starting to see the reality of Job Hopping.
It really does seem like the only way to get ahead is to find new management, and the best way to do that is to quit and go work at your boss' competitor.

the rest of us would really benefit from a nomenclature change.
Don't say 155th. Say 155ru if it's a Russian division or say 155ua if it's a Ukrainian division.
The "th" adds no value to the conversation.
An "ru" or "ua" would add tremendous clarity.

Girl... life is completely different when "will trade sex for food & shelter" isn't even on the bingo card.
To be fair, the vast majority of those situations are voluntary, long term arrangements such as marriage.

At what point in the curriculum do they explain that any perceived benefit applied ONLY to the final generation of slaves, the ones who were genuinely freed?
There were a couple of centuries where skilled slaves derived almost zero personal benefit from artisan labor.

Mostly because taxes vary by locality but prices are set nationally.
Verizon needs to run the same $79.99/month TV ad nationwide, but the taxes in California are very different from Alabama.

Building a new tank costs a few million dollars and takes about 3 weeks (when the factory is operational).
