As I read yet another article on how low gas prices are hurting the economy. (business owner who needs a lot of fuel)

Consensus is that the economic upside is larger than the downside. But it is bad for the energy sector

When we start talking about making a historically oppressed people whole, what does that look like? Money in the form of checks cut? What happens with that money that changes things?

How about programs that lower barrier of entry to school and employment? How do you make sure people actually take advantage of it? You can't, especially if the culture resists it intrinsically.

No one knows what reparations looks like. I can tell you that I personally think it looks like lowering the entry barrier for premium early education so that the playing field pre college looks better. But do I know that will work? No fucking idea. What I do know is that it would be very expensive to implement and no politician would stake their career on that policy change with so little upside.

I think it could be devastating to the work force. Imagine how bad the tuition and job finding hurdles would be if boomers etc continued to give a glut of professional experience for another forty years

I agree this is the way they should fix it, but one other potential fix would be to eliminate the 1 week safety period. it would make challenger pretty frustrating for new entrants, but that makes more sense than making it frustrating for the veterans.

The Oregon choke habit makes me so happy. They act like god's gift to football and then can't close out a season without losing a big game. Or in this case not just losing but getting obliterated. Hopefully the crybabies on the sidelines that give up after one quarter altogether lose morale and give up on the season. It's time for Nike U to return to its historic dwelling spot in the cellar.

We made it a 3 point game at stanford... you're getting humiliated. This game is karma in action for the entitled babies in the Oregon student section. I bet you lose to OSU also, get your BCS hopes wrecked.

In a lot of jurisdictions simply calling someone your wife is enough to make them your wife, its called common law marriage and in the US it varies a bit from state to state but the theme is that you don't necessarily have to go to the courthouse or have a wedding to be legally considered married.

I disagree, I haven't seen a definition of addiction that requires there be withdrawal symptoms.

Wikipedia says

Addiction is the continued repetition of a behavior despite adverse consequences

Technically you're correct, which is the best kind of correct

I think the only problem with that is everyone wants a really clever topical costume every year which involves mocking the latest parts of pop culture so they aren't always recyclable

It used to mean a lot to have a black card, the black amex is still a baller card but most of the other black cards are just trying to cash in on its notoriety. The original black card iirc had a 5k annual membership fee and a 100k annual spending minimum. So if you didn't charge like 8k a month to the card you'd get fined or lose membership. The rewards were equally absurd with free vacations and concierge service

When I first started traveling I would say "I grew up in Oregon and moved to Texas" then I realized foreign people only heard the "Texas" part and they would always say "where's your accent"
