Part of the point in the US having a huge military is to avoid war in the first place, it's a form of defensive posturing.

There is a form of legal redress - following through in the senate with impeachment. Trump had sufficient allies in the senate when he was impeached so they dismissed it but if instead they had a 2/3 vote he could've be removed from office.

How much of Meta's r&d is spent on keeping people addicted to their apps? I'd argue Amazon and Meta were both more innovative when there was no or very little revenue.

Meta essentially replaced myspace, which basically went down hill after being bought out by a much larger company.

Read a thing his father died of heart disease at a younger age. The long plane ride probably caused an issue with a blood clot, would be my guess.

Think I've heard anecdotes about Tokyo being pretty affordable as well. Quick search shows less than 1/3 of income typically spent on housing, which is much better than major US cities.

> It reduces the debate to fighting some imagined, small class of property owners who oppose progress.

I feel kind of the opposite way really. I've even known plenty of people who lease apartment units and don't want other apartments built because newer construction = more expensive (even if it keeps their own rent from being more expensive since it relieves some of the demand).

I take it as referring to AIPAC, one of the most influential lobbying organizations in the US.

Reminds me of something that made me cringe that I heard from an architect at a medium sized IT shop, "even Google couldn't handle our scale".

I just kind of assumed they meant no additional snow to add to the accumulated amount they have for the season compared to 2015.

Curious how much this varies among police. Some jobs are by their nature always dangerous.

But there are a lot of cops in the USA, and plenty I'm sure have nice, cozy jobs, and then there are some who spend thee majority of their career policing areas that more closely resemble warzones or 3rd world nations but this isn't the majority by any means.

That's a bit tenuous. Corporate taxes are a cost after profit, which usually means whatever is left over after expenses. This means companies could pay higher salaries specifically to avoid corporate taxes, or invest in things instead.

Just anecdotally, my experience was the total opposite. I didn't work in the health care industry long though and I think you're probably right in general. But you might also find there's a lot of variation between small companies too and a lot of failures for every success I suppose.

I get what you're saying and mostly somewhat agree with your point, but it's kind of funny thinking back and feeling the complete opposite. People like to argue which states would be better off in a civil war, meanwhile I grew up in an area where people liked to claim the south is going to rise yet again. And we do have a problem with militias.

If a person immigrates to the USA due to success with onlyfans, are they not productive members of society by virtue of having taxable & disposable income from the fruits of their labor? They don't need a PHD to be productive anymore than a soccer player, mentioned earlier. In reality we already have American citizens in the US paying for their college degrees via onlyfans.

Isn't this par for the course for the New York Post? I hear that name and think trashy tabloid.
