Yeah it spretty genius, the food is overpriced and bad but it doesn't matter because all the rich Thai customers come for the virtue points not the food.
He never said you weren't a hard worker. He said you aren't giving 100%. And he's obviously right because you literally just wrote a comment articulating all the ways in which you no longer give 100% of yourself to your work.
Not judging, I think you're smart for doing so, just pointing out the logical fallacy
You're overcomplicating the issue to make it seem more complex than it is. It's dead simple: when people don't have homes, build more homes -- then they'll have homes.
If you're trying to solve mental illness or something that's another issue entirely, plenty of homeless AND housed people are mentally ill; attempts to claim that homelessness and tangentially related factors like mental illness are somehow "inexplicably intertwined" are just rationalizations to justify why you're not actually working to solve the problem.
The studies have been done bro, there is only one solution and I just described it
Also we don't actually live in a capitalist system, health care and housing are already socialist in many many ways. It would be easy to pass govt regulations making it easier to build housing. Capitalism is not the problem because we don't actually live in a fully capitalist society dude.
Whoever is higher on the dominance hierarchy gets to subject others to their opinions. On HN it's a non issue
And for the record GATTACA is the story of a misguided insufferable asshole violating regulations and probably getting his entire team killed 5 minutes after the movie ends due to his heart condition.
Yeah but all the tedious hoops you must jump through to even get to that point are absolutely ludicrous and reveal college as the sheeple-manufacturing scam that everyone now knows it is.
Homelessness is an incredibly simple problem with an incredibly simple solution: build more housing. Since this is not a step in that direction, it does not seem like a "step forward" to me. If anything, all these "occupods" do is widen the social divide between homeless and housed people..... While poisoning the homeless with chemicals from the wood pallets. LMAO at this misguided attempt to do good that actually does harm.
This is a fascinating question. My guess is that all industries have different levels of collusion/wage-fixing. If something as big as THE TECH INDUSTRY can get away with colluding to keep a ceiling on wages, then surely every single other smaller industry can as well.
Norway (and other Scandinavian countries) are bad examples that do not apply to the USA, because they have relatively racially and culturally homogenous populations with cultures that didn't evolve in response to the challenge of paying for college in the first place.
Free college in the USA would not work because no middle class person's life would have any meaning -- currently the only meaning that a lot of middle-class people have to sustain them is motivation to pay for their kid's college -- take that away from them, and they really got nothing.
Norway never had the financial barrier to entry to college so it's society's motivations and ethos didn't form in symbiosis with that barrier, but ours did. If you remove the financial barrier to entry to college you also remove the fundamental driving motivation of a huge portion of the middle class.
The reason we can't make college free in America is because we need to keep the middle class working, bro. A college degree is the carrot and student debt is the stick, if you take away the stick the carrot actually becomes less appealing. It's counterintuitive but deeply true.
Making college free in America would have massively demoralizing effects on both youth and adults because our entire youth and adult cultures have evolved in response to the financial barriers to entry into college.
