That and unwilling to accept immigration.

I just finished Marvel Comics: the untold story by Sean Howe. One thing I was really surprised to learn was that Stan Lee was in his 40's and had already been a comicbook editor fo…

So much of this would go away if the city would just loosen its building and zoning regulations.

Honestly if autonomous cars can reduce even 10% of accidents caused by drunk driving and other human errors then they will have payed their way and more.

Cynicism aside that was a pretty entertaining read.

betterment.com their you're done.

The ironic thing it that deregulating zoning laws is something that conservatives commonly argue for. Well maybe not conservatives but libertarians do.

Here's an idea. Allow people to build more buildings in San Francisco.
