San Francisco has a homeless problem because it invited such. I guess it's total coincidence that the most liberal cities in the US also have the highest incidence of homeless population. As long as it remains a profitable and easy lifestyle, homelessness persists. Change those variables however you want and the problem goes away. This is not to say there are not those who are homeless due to bum luck. In many cities, this is the majority. Not so much in San Francisco where homelessness is a true profession.

the societal move to destigmatize obesity is the culprit. It's now okay to be big and beautiful.

at first I thought this was a jab at drupal... then I see it's drupal failing itself. I don't think it's scaling well to YC traffic.

climate change.

There are some situations where an organism can evolve overnight to exposure to an antibiotic. See Inducible Extended Beta lactamase resistance in E Coli. HOWEVER. Bacteria evolve just as any organism does via random genetic mutations that may or may not lead to resistance. It's Darwinism on the cellular level. The vast majority of antibiotic resistance occurred regardless of exposure. There is a segment of society that wants to blame humans for every problem it seems.

This person reminds me of a lot of people I went to medical school with. Very smart, and yet, not very realistic. He outlines a scenario that is endgame.. when in fact, we are seeing cyclical events. We saw the emergence of penicillin resistence in S. Aureas, then methicillin resistance. we moved to quinalones, and sulfa and we see resisance develop there.. OF COURSE it does. The antibiotics don't cause resistance.. Natural selection is the process going on here. There are random mutations that occur regardless of antibiotic exposure. We do see antibiotics cause resistance such as in inducible extended beta lactamase resistance.. (I have a patient currently with E coli resistant to everything but Colistin) but the overwhelming process..it's still good old fashion natural selection that Darwin made us all aware of. We really don't need to panic.. we just need to keep fighting the fight..because it won't ever end, unless we give up. Relax. When I hear people claim it was wanton use of antibiotics that caused all of this.. I wonder if they ever read a word about biologic evolution. Right now, there are organisms out there that are already resistant to antibiotics that haven't been developed yet. How can we blame humans for that?

antibiotics do not cause resistance to form. resistance occurs due to natural mutations. these are going to occur regardless of exposure to antibiotics or not. The antibiotics simply select out the resistant organisms from the auger. It was shear panic when S. aureas developed penicillin resistance decades ago. methicillin was the solution. Now we have methicillin resistant staph aureas. This is nothing to panic over. it simply means the battle is never won and we'll require ongoing research on new antibiotics. To say we have lost is just not true. This is the way life works. he also ignores the possibility of human evolution. We can develop resistance to bacteria as well.

one thing I have learned. proving your legal is very, very expensive .

I guess my question is this.. Why is not okay for 'Roosh' to talk about 'Pussy Flow', but perfectly okay for 99% of rap artists?

Hard work and payoff. Food stamps and welfare doesn't buy trips to Bora Bora..
