So no peer review? Or did the peer just use a chat not too?

Some bars are private establishments. Those bars require memberships. The rest are public non-governmental establishments. These are open to the general public. Lewd behavior does not belong in any public establishment. If you want that type of environment, make it a membership only establishment.

The key word in my comment is “will.” That’s a prediction. You can ping me in 25 years to see if this works out. In the mean time, people are taking this prediction seriously (it isn’t only my prediction) when discussing global politics.

Used car prices went up, new car prices went up, collision repair prices went up, and repair time increased significantly. We also saw a huge increase in accident severity and a growing trend toward more aggressive driving.

I read labels and…

• Eat only trace amounts of saturated fat.
• No sugary drinks.
• Eat a lot of fiber.
• No breakfast, it isn’t necessary.
• Walk or bike 1 hour every morning.
• Lift & run every work day during my lunch hour.

I’ve never been more fit.

Most companies selling on Amazon are contractually prohibited to sell for less elsewhere, even from their own website.

Many of them will lack the lasting power of North Korea.

You realize Muammar Gaddafi only died 12 years ago and Russia only invaded Ukraine two years ago? Nuclear weapon programs take at least that long to develop. Ukraine and Libya had programs (Ukraine actually had weapons) and abandoned them, much to their demise. If they kept their programs, they wouldn’t have had these problems.

Gaddafi would still be alive. Dictators now need nuclear weapons to assure survival. Look for the world to get real crazy real fast.

Universal healthcare might help but it is also–

1. Auto accidents driven by car culture.
2. Higher drug and alcohol abuse rates.
3. Higher suicide rates driven by access to firearms.
4. A culture of unhealthy eating that leads to obesity, heart disease, and increased risk of cancer.

Can you imagine if we raised the drinking age to 25?

Can we do both? Lewd behavior doesn’t belong in public.

With unlock I didn’t even know there was an arms race. Seamless performance the whole time!

It is government’s job to make sure international trade is done according to some basic rules, including labor and environment. Business’ only metric is profits.

China pollutes so much because George HW Bush and Bill Clinton pushed American jobs to China so CEOs could make bank on huge profits on cheap labor, unsafe work places, and near zero environmental regulation that was impossible in the United States. We built China by disregarding worker rights and the environment and we are paying for it dearly.

If you were to try to argue their view, I think they would say that their only problem is when you exhibit immortal behavior. Their definition of immoral behavior isn’t the only historic definition but is certainly a prominent one.

It would be restoration by proxy. I once had a friend who stole money. He did not know the person and could never find him again. To make restoration he gave an equal amount plus reasonable interest to a charity, anonymously. The charity was a proxy for the man from whom he stole.

Depends on what you want to buy. An inflation index uses select goods and services that are thought to represent the general economy but it’ll be different for any one individual.
