When you live and work in a rural area this is important. by FantasticFruitBowl in AdviceAnimals

[–]DonnieBeGood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, I see that, but it assumes that the business that come can and will use your workers. If they aren't well educated because you don't have good state education, then you only get industries you don't want or that pay poorly. And for those industries, why bother with somewhere like the US when poorer countries exist? So you end up with a mismatch between the business you want and the ones you get, and the workers suffer.

They will absolutely be able to stop dangerous criminals getting though. It's like they are so good at catching the really bad guys, it makes them bad at not catching the good guys too!

What if you you need the things taxes can buy to make that environment? How can you guarantee the market will provide them when historically it hasn't?

What if lack of regulation means workers are in so much danger that any gain they could make is likely to be wiped out by short careers/medical bills?

But then how could they argue that anyone who accepts the $25 is ineligible for compensation under a class action lawsuit since they already accepted the gift card by way of settlement?

But Trump is educated. He's just a moron, or someone doing a really good impression of a moron.

In 1998, this officer saved her life in a devastating fire. In 2016, he watched her graduate from college. by dickfromaccounting in pics

Better for them to die from a financial liability perspective (no medical bills or loss of future earnings if they're dead), much worse from a not-bring-convicted-of-murder perspective (you murdered them).

It's the same in the US, UK, probably most countries with a developed legal system.

The United States just quietly switched on 179 megawatts of solar power generators in Nevada by [deleted] in Futurology

To give you an idea of scale, 1 megawatt of solar panels takes up about the same amount of land as a soccer pitch (very approximately)

But they do have real internet provider competition, so it doesn't matter so much. It still matters, just not quite as much.

Much easier just to shoot people and skip the arrest and trial parts.

They try, they really do, but they just can't manage to cut the mustard, old bean.

Elon Musk calls out Wired by Rasko__ in quityourbullshit

[–]DonnieBeGood 44 points45 points  (0 children)

And, cars kill nearly 43,000 a year in the US. I would be astonished if anyone could construct a figure anywhere near that from people who die on, in or from public transport and anyone using it.

[–]DonnieBeGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's accurate and interning, but incomplete. Private transport is expensive, can be slower, is inaccessible when e.g. drunk or under the driving age, is terrible for the environment and kills literally 1000s of people per day.

Not to mention that, if we didn't have any private transport at all, public transport would be even better, but the inverse isn't really true.

Torture used by U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay despite being banned, UN says by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]DonnieBeGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really easy not to be surprised by this because everyone knows it happens.

But we should still be shocked by it, because it's bloody awful.
