>Whatever happens to you, professionals will take of you and you won't have to worry whether your family will go bankrupt because you stumbled as a kid or not. Because the society as a whole has build a net that will catch you when things like this happen.

Who builds the net?

Imagine what we could all do with the extra time and money we get from automated checkouts?

And you would trade that so the store can have people standing around waiting for you to decide to pay for groceries?

>A century after Germany's monarchy was abolished, some of its blue-blooded descendants are riding back into battle to reclaim what they see as their royal birthright.

How come everybody want to keep it like the kaiser?

(sorry)

What’s missing here and other land claims around the world is that the Kaiser didn’t sue anyone or plead in international court for the right to have those properties.

The monarchs kept those lands through the strength of their armies, and I don’t think that world of might can just transition over to the new world of law

I worked at a company that introduced recycling program and we had three bins: trash, recyclables and food

We were all trying to abide by the program and go “green”.

One day we stuck around late and noticed the cleaning guy come in take the three bins and empty the onto the same trash container

We asked him and he said they only had one type of trash containers we downstairs so everything went into the same one

Some homeless need homes, others need medical care, drug rehab, jobs or education

Some just need a second chance and a hand to be able to climb out of the hole they’re in

Others won’t be able to ever help themselves

Saying they “need homes” because they’re “home less” sounds so naive

Edit:

Everyone needs shelter and I hope a comprehensive solution could be implemented where anyone in need could find the type of shelter that is most helpful

>The only people who could conceivably benefit from immigrant labor would be industries with huge huge numbers of minimum or close to minimum-wage employees- Home Depot, Chipotle, Subway etc. I guess Amazon.

It’s the farms

Just look at the latest big raid: chicken farms

In California César Chavez was against illegal immigration because the farms would use immigrants to break the unions

Don’t know exactly what Soros and the Kochs do, I’m guessing they don’t exactly employ people but own companies that sell things to people

Went last week, very disappointed by the new Star Wars attraction, essentially a glorified video game - I’ll be skipping Star Wars land next time

You can do Disneyland in a day if it’s not too crowded

Universal Studios’ AP is a lot cheaper but the park needs to add a lot more rides to match Disneyland

Didn’t Freakonomics tackle this subject and concluded that school doesn’t make that much of a difference in results and it was more about each persons makeup?
