And with countries with lots of newcomers it can take decades (well, generations) to take on the host countries manners rather than sticking to home country manners that may not me…

That’s what evenings are for…

I also don’t like subsidizing sports teams. To me it doesn’t make too much sense. Yes I know fans can be pretty loyal and sometimes that team is sort of like a pet dog. They love i…

Sports teams are an interesting one because often times these things go on the ballot and people vote for that. So it looks like people and municipalities have varying reasons for …

Another thing I miss in common digital maps is the use of typeface sizes and weight to approximate city populations. There are many other ones, like toll road, multi-lane, two lane…

Not much to say except it’s a nice collection and I’m glad someone is cataloguing these historical items.

I think there was a time when people who generally went for MBAs started going into CS and other majors angling to get into a tech company. There was also a coincidental proliferat…

I’m guessing back in the late sixties to early seventies going to McDonalds could have been a special night out and it could have been a place people stayed an hour. Some people ma…

That’s the sad part. There was a nationwide trend to ignore misdemeanor theft so much so that now there is a new baseline and most police have taken this to heart and don’t even pr…

It depends it may have an analogue in the evaporative cooling effect in the tax and investment base. If the state goes too far, those with wealth may take their wealth and invest i…

As long as there are reasonable countries they can move to and moving doesn’t impact their business enough, people will move to more favorable tax environments even if they have qu…

Old rare books where there are single digit copies should enjoy some sort of patrimonial protection just like museum pieces. You can own them but have the state have the option to …

China is known to hold Canadians on the excuse of being spies… spying for them is oftentimes filming without prior approval in non coastal but still civilian regions.

Oh like Snowden then… he or she just has to be okay living under those conditions…
