Yeah, and people just moved elsewhere. All it's going to do is hurt Reddit's bottom line. Let me guess porn is next? Digg is looming

Think about it this way.

They make money from people who don't optimise their taxes

Surely what's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect the children?

Government and nobody is truly held accountable. Happens all the time to different extent.

And still there are people wanting more government control. Mind boggling

This always rubbed me the wrong way. Remember back in the day Red Cross doing this and this was before Haiti scandal.

Could be a decent business to pay x amount for people to donate blood and sell it to hospital. People would be incentivised to donate blood, hospital would get more off it and given they are already paying for it.

You have lot of students and people who can't afford it as of now but can convert to paying customers later on.

If you buy into the system you are more dependant on it than just going another route and you end up not giving a damn about Spotify

What usually happens in these kind of things is mistress or partner shares images with friends and someone looks to profit or take vengeance behalf of cheated friend. I'm baffled nobody brings this up.

It was big news at the time in Europe as it affected vast amount of people's bottom line (mine as well). Would be interesting to know if it was lobbied to some extend.

The premise was that women would pay the same amount as men lowering the rate (Good thing). But for everyone who have followed politics knew it's not going to be a so simple. You have countless of examples where companies just skirt around the law and it end up hurting consumers.

Pretty much sums many EU decisions. On paper they can seem decent enough but in reality not so much. And women were affected as well as you might imagine low income families took the biggest relative hit.

Could depend on the age group and driving record. In some age groups men can be overly aggressive drivers but overall less accidents compared to women.

For the person who downvoted OP was referring to the EU. Previously men paid less but when EU decided statistics are sexist now both pay the same higher amount. Yay for the consumer

>In Europe I believe that insurance already may not discriminate on sex: compared to women, men's car insurance got cheaper

That's false. After EU came meddling insurance was raised for men to the same level women had even though men have statistically lower risk of accident.

Is one person really going to take you out of course if you are doing something you want? In that case you have to figure out what you really want. Getting in shape people criticising gave the added fuel to succeed and storm ahead

People underestimate the amounts they are eating. Then again some amateur athletes would do well to eat more carbs.

Steel Cut Oats, rice and vegetables are good source for carbs

Happens in every field. Compare what is said to reported or if you have knowledge of something, frankly could be anything sports, business etc, how poorly it's reported in the press.
