not even if you search; if you searchED in the past!

Doesn't really check out ..

You are saying that people will lend without faith that they will get more back than lent?

Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has capital - lending is all bad. why go to effort, to risk of losing your money, and opportunity cost of using the money yourself? There's gotta be some incentive for the individual lender if it's actually going to happen at scale in society.

Get some good noise cancelling headphones and enjoy life again!

Yeah and thats online income taxes!

Then with less than half left theres countless taxes built into the things you spend on (e.g. sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes, import tariffs, etc etc etc etc and oh yeah more etc)

Yeah, BUT its the easiest job market in IT history to get hired right now ..

Yes, and its quite likely correct. Possibly why it's often raised!

So you are saying you think the grass is greener over there?

I've worked lots in both, and it really is not. There's something satisfying about the physical movements, and being in different locations, about the house building work, but that is very different to the issue of completion of work you mentioned and I guess you just never did more than one physical building job?

If only they paid well!

I personally stopped watching Netflix because of the high ratio of brainwashing culture wars IN THE SHOW CONTENT.

When you drive a car you don't use the accelerator and the brake in quite the same way ..

This is really a trap I'd like to point out. We often, or usually, look at natural systems without seeing the full picture. This hubris of thinking we understand it when we don't understand many aspects of it is dangerous.

Teeth are not crude, that's just a reductionist understanding of them, or lacking understanding of the many integrated systems they are dynamically part of.

i.e. they have to do the right thing, at the right time, with many other aspects of the body. They grow, resize, even regrow, adapt to spaces and situations, handle living in organic environment with a garden of living bacteria etc, dynamically store and make available minerals and maybe other building blocks for the rest of the body, have a lifecycle, have many organic components, and likely more features I am not aware of!

Or better efficient distributed local production!

You stated the answer is to "build housing at the rate and income levels needed to house people" however that's clearly ignoring important aspects of the issues and is not a long term solution.

Housing is complex, takes effort. To build and pay for, and then also to maintain and keep livable and operational.

Many of those homeless have observed inability to take care of things consistently over times. Probably related to impulse control. It's a continual effort/challenge to keep one's life on the 'straight and narrow' to keep the many aspects working. It's hard for the average person - they work at it continually.

Whether, and HOW it's possible, for which percentage of the homeless population, to be able to keep on the 'straight and narrow' and look after a home they have been gifted from others hard work is an important part of the 'the answer' that you talked about.

Otherwise you get the situation of the workers building the homeless expensive buildings that are not treated with respect as homes but instead neglected or actively destroyed over time.

So 'the answer' you proposed isn't realistic. The closest thing to what you said that may actually work is to first build them a home, then maintain it for them financially as well as operationally, and then continually repair that home when the damage gets too bad.

In other words a house with ongoing service agreement. And of course food and healthcare as well. Oh and internet and entertainment, and support when the drugs has caused another problem.

Meanwhile this is like 'retirement' that the hardworking part of the population strives and works their ass off to get to as a 'goal'.

If I understand your proposal of taking lifes major goals for the productive and just giving it to those who don't take accountability for themselves, I wonder if your solution would be fundamentally destructive to society because then why would productive people work, if instead they can get high regularly while other people work for them?

"unable to take accountability for anything in their lives"

"Public spaces should be usable by all."

This is 100% the correct answer.

Their offer is BAD for you:

One single client puts you in a situation of risk when they pivot or get acquired or otherwise cut your work.

4 days a week makes it harder to have time for another client.

Less money for more work, ludicrous

So instead

Go and find another client, or better yet two new ones and when you have multiple clients prioritize the work for the best paying clients while others can wait till you have gaps.

Banning is one thing, but what about full or actually partial shadow-banning, or deleting selected specific posts which is called moderation, and the overall balance of the biases in the moderation.

We've passed an inflection point from a bull to a bear market.

I think you will find a much bigger 'silent mainstream' of those who Respect him for the significant progress he's brought into our world.

Worship and bashing/hate are the domain of the crazies/extremists/zealots who are a vocal minority, really a small proportion of the world. Most people thankfully are more balanced and rational in their perspectives.

some places are bottom feeders, they put in time trawling for people who don't know their worth

Discriminations original meaning is to tell the difference between things. Op is recognising the difference between things that are unlikely to cause them a problem, and things that are going to cause them a problem. This is just common sense actually, though in the world of wokeness plain common sense is not common enough.

Maybe you could think of it like a PE on a growth stock - people expect the house to go up due to inflation of cost of goods as well as all the money that was printed - they are willing to take a punt on the house value in the future, similar to many stocks.

There's also sunk cost in the effort of finding a house you want and reluctance to keep looking.

>> But until that happens, this "missing money" doesn't actually come out of any US budget; it's just not being spent at all.

(Fyi Not American.) That seems wrong, because America does already spend so much on their Military budget to have a 'preventative' presence plus standing force ready to respond. They spend each year keeping that force built, trained, operating etc .. regardless of if it's used.

That seems pretty obvious too, I don't know if your argument was made in good faith?

Regarding what you're talking about, general memory.

You can ensure the physical machinery of your brain is functioning well enough to operate at it's best. There's four keys to help here, first sleep enough to be well rested, second regularly exercise aerobically so your circulation pushes enough blood and nutrients around to feed your brain adequately, third and related take some ginko biloba but do not overdo this (make sure you research this) and finally drink enough water. If your brain was already 100% this will make no change, but for most people they can get significant to dramatic improvements to achieve their latent memory potential.

Then you can program your mind to consider what information is important and attach emotional significance to it, which will help you remember further and easily without repetition or memory palace techniques, though they will take you even further.

If your gums are delicate/already having issues then picks and damage them further.

With just the string dental floss, when you get good with it, you can get all sorts of angles, clear out all chunks in combination with water in the mouth hard suction rinsing, and scrape along the sides of teeth to clean them better.

Flossing is hard to get started, but when you learn how to do it, your fingers become quick and experience, you can floss completely in 2 minutes, while thinking about something else.

Rinse with some water in your mouth before flossing to get any chunks out, then rinse again after flossing to get the chunks out that were dislodged during flossing.

Don't bother with water flosser etc, you won't need it if you do as i suggested you can remove 100% of particle matter without another gadget, charger and expense etc

Also just floss using the normal string dont bother with picks, floss holders etc, its so much easier to use string when you get experienced with it. Do it! It's worth it!

i just refreshed the page and the popup went away

but yes google has jumped the shark, everything new moves away from it, and where practical migrating existing away too

Well that better software in this case was called Delphi :D blistering fast compile times and equivalent runtime performance, just slightly more verbose syntax. Pretty much enough power to do what you need for anything.

Netflix also tried to be more PC than PC and drove a lot of mainstream viewers away. Perhaps they thought being over the top in culture wars would be their moat? Or perhaps they were just drinking koolaid?

In my opinion this is the real root cause of the gov org dysfunctions - so many workers go there who actively resist change and improvements. They want to be mediocre/lazy at work and don't want anyone showing them up, and they don't want any change because they just want minimum effort for stable income and a pension.

Not everyone maybe it's only 10-20% or whatever, but a higher percentage than in private sector, and the percentage is that high that it ruins the workplace and actively drives good workers away.

The thing about those gov departments is 'many' people are there for secure jobs with low effort and actual work. They actively work against change.

So yes upper leadership support is required, but you also sometimes need to pull things out root and branch, at least enough to scare those people into changing their life when they have a psychology of never needing to change again once they built their public service fiefdom.
