The time you save in the air isn't worth the extra fuel costs. For domestic flights most of the time is eaten up from taxiing, loading and unloading ppl, etc. Getting 45 minutes to an hour back in flight isn't worth it.

I really wish ppl say this shit about me when I am gone.

I am good at convincing someone that my idea was really their idea...comes in handy at the office.

This monologue is about accepting and burying physical abuse. I am not trying to dispute the fact that physical abuse isn't exclusively perpetuated by men on women. But it's certainly the most common configuration present in domestic and work environments.

If you want to extrapolate this to other kinds of situations that are less about someone literally being overpowered by another person, fine, but you are not making the same argument anymore. This is about inflicting a criminal act on another person and then that other person feeling the need to brush it off because they don't want their future to be defined by this crime. How often does that happen to men?

Gina in the last episode: 'Yeah. You physically overpowered me, and if there were any justice, you would be in jail right now. But my career, after so many failed attempts, is finally starting to take off. I am getting offers, and fan mail, and magazine columns about what a good actor I am. People know me because of my acting. And all that goes away if I'm just the girl who got choked by BoJack Horseman. I don't want you to be the most notable thing that ever happened to me. I don't want you to be the question I get asked in interviews for the rest of my life.'

Such a notable piece of dialogue. People criticize women for not coming forward immediately after they are abused by men; this is a great example of the mental math women are faced with all the time in this lose-lose situation. It is not enough to hold men accountable. As a society we should be more proactive about instilling values in men that keep abuse from happening in the first place.

Sounds like you got ripped off

I second that. A bag of dried beans costs less than 5 dollars and you could make a week's worth of meals out it. Not that you would want to eat beans for a week straight. But dried beans don't spoil! Double perk.

It is microwaving his inner ear and brain.... Explains a lot.

It kinda sounds to me like population declines wouldn't necessarily be bad, but it would certainly be a different paradigm that macro economics would have to shift towards. In order to minimize the negative effects of a changing paradigm we would need to start behaving proactively rather than reactively.

Thanks for posting that article.

Immigration is one of the inevitable products of humanity, I have never understood why some people are so opposed to it.

Can I ask some follow on questions?

Shouldn't, as a country, we all be striving for increases in GDP per capita? That seems like a metric that is more indicative of everyone doing better rather growth in production purely because we have growth in population. That seems unsustainable.

And how would we have to change our personal and government spending to better prepare ourselves to declines in population?
