This sort of argument comes up all the time, claiming governments somehow screw everything up but private industry has some sort of amazing track record at producing value. There’s…

Unfortunately I don’t recall which podcast it was, perhaps 99% Invisible, but one had a show on this. One of the things they mentioned was that during WW II now-liberal enclaves li…

They try to address this up-front: > As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertis…

Around the time of Occupy Wall Street I was predicting that we would either see populists start winning elections and/or a violent uprising sometime in the next couple decades. I s…

I'm not sure exactly how to interpret "the bulk of commercial photographers' work are weddings". Do you mean by total revenue, or for a given photographer? I ask because in general…

My observation is that a lot of teachers knew they were going into a profession known for low pay but lacked the financial literacy and practical experience at college age to under…

I did file a change address a year ago and yet continued to receive the emails from my previous address. As mentioned in my reply to another comment, I tried unsuccessfully to conv…

I had a similar experience after moving a year ago. I kept receiving the emails for mail going to my previous address. This was despite my having filed a change of address. I sugge…
