Yes, the state known for treating adults like adults until they assault or rob people.

VCs are obviously not funding this through their funds. These are private individual investors.

It will be like Santana Row in San Jose, a walkable area without any homeless.
aapl88889··on 70 years ago, an Anglo-US coup condemned Iran to decades of oppression
Do you want democracy and capitalism to be outlawed? What ideology?
aapl88889··on 70 years ago, an Anglo-US coup condemned Iran to decades of oppression
Iran was actually rich in the 1970s and women weren't in veils. You can thank the US for that. The revolution happened after.
aapl88889··on 70 years ago, an Anglo-US coup condemned Iran to decades of oppression
Why is the US blamed and not Iran's socialist policies which occurred 30 years later, after the revolution?

"Following the nationalizations in 1979 and the outbreak of the Iran–Iraq War, over 80% of the economy came under government control.[34]"

Look at the official GDP/capita numbers.

France: 43,658.98

Germany: 51,203.55

Mississippi: 48,744*

I was off on Mississippi but they are still very close to Germany's, which is good considering they are the poorest state in the USA.

- The schools must be accredited.

- Mississippi is richer than Germany and France without progressive social policies. Since you are questioning my motives, do you have a concern for the poor yourself?

Europe is very progressive in all those issues but they're still poorer than Mississippi.
aapl88889··on $7,200 for Every Student: Arizona’s Ultimate Experiment in School Choice
You're right that they're public schools. School choice would allow parents to choose these other public options in addition to private schools.

And? The poor are allowed to choose food options for their kids but not schools? Please elaborate.
aapl88889··on $7,200 for Every Student: Arizona’s Ultimate Experiment in School Choice
- There are many non-religious private schools like magnets and charters.

- The schools must be accredited.

I can't find one good reason to restrict a poor student from choosing a magnet or a charter school over their local public school.

How exactly is this different from food stamps?
aapl88889··on It’s time for Americans to embrace small cars
Larger cars are due to fuel economy regulations. You can thank your government for this.

Minimum wage has no effect on inflation huh?
aapl88889··on My $0->$100M->$0 in 5 years story
That is not remotely true. Petrol stations in Europe do not sell grass-fed beef, acai bowls and organic produce. They're like 7-11 not Whole Foods. The US has more variety by far.
aapl88889··on My $0->$100M->$0 in 5 years story
My friend has a huge 4,000 sq foot brand new house in the South for 1/3 the average price in London. You cannot find that type of house even in the richest areas in Europe.

It's apparently not hostile if you are epically dunking on people you disagree with.
aapl88889··on Threads has 10M sign ups in seven hours
Facebook isn't hostile and they don't have moderation issues? Are you kidding?

I also like the bit on how you dismiss wholesale IP theft from a large corporation because you have issues with Musk.

The original question asked which coastlines are burying houses underwater.

"The climate is clearly changing and it is really causing massive disruptions and costing trillions of dollars"

...to which coastlines? Los Angeles? Hawaii? Miami? Thailand? Barcelona? Marseille? Which?

aapl88889··on Political Polarization Comes for Marriage Prospects
Many European countries have either outright abortion bans or limits on abortion after a certain number of weeks (including Germany, Italy, Spain and Ireland). This is similar to many Republican states you call "radical."
