It feels like the US is becoming like Italy, Spain, Greece, with fewer good job openings for younger people. The economic boom of the 1950s -2008 is over. Jobs are offshored. Factories off shored.

Nose - different. Shape of head - different. Ears - different. I donā€™t see a resemblance.

If it's so "simple" why is the incarceration rate lower in Mexico and India where the poverty is much greater ?

First off, itā€™s not a ā€œjoke.ā€ Secondly, if a survivor is triggered, they are not drilling down 5 levels in a post on rape.

Your question would take hundreds of pages to answer. People study history, politics, sociology for years and write theses on this topic.

Or, use the device youā€™re typing this on to convert it for you. Siri can do it. Or google. Etc.

The world is on fire and youā€™re worried about health care services when youā€™ll be wearing adult diapers?

I donā€™t think they know their lives will suck. They are oblivious. Sheep. Rabbits.

In the US, many (or most) people have a gas dryer. Electric dryers canā€™t compare.

We lost so much more, even before the internet. Capitalism messed up sports, music, eating, storytelling, community, the environment, childhood, clothing and more. Itā€™s all a big shit show now. (Unless you really focus on quality and are able to tune out the corporate takeover of whatever your passion is. but itā€™s often expensive and time consuming to get corporate-free, commercial-free joy.)

Thatā€™s incorrect. In English, bi-weekly can mean twice a week or once every other week. It can mean either. Itā€™s not clear.

With suicides and fentanyl overdoses removing 100,000-150,000 persons of working age from the equation each year, the unemployment rate stays low.

Niceā€¦. Very niceā€¦ but is the sub going to be soft porn now?

What happens if a politician breaks one of the commandments ? Or are these posted for aspirational purposes only ?

Youā€™d have to take that hypothetical 10,000 dollars and destroy it, not put it in the bank. Banks would multiply that money generating up to 7x the economic activity.
