In other civilised countries, if the lunch menu says $20, you pay $20. You don't need to bring an accountant with you.
How is it that in the US, gas stations and liquor stores can post honest prices, but IIRC, nobody else did?
I must admit, the title of the course sounds a bit political, but I thought best to look it up before leaping wildly to conclusions:
While the words "welfare" and "social choice" might sound like political buzzwords to a layperson, in academia they refer to highly formal, mathematical subfields of standard microeconomic theory.
Taught for decades by Professor Roberto Serrano, it is known as a rigorous, proof-heavy class rather than a political forum. If you recently heard about the class in the news, it is likely due to an academic integrity controversy involving a take-home exam and suspected student use of generative AI, rather than anything related to politics.
Sinophobia still running rampant?
"We're not saying it was the Chinese
I doubt it's stress. It likely has more to do with adequate funding.
For all its faults, the healthcare system and its funding in the US does not explain the life expectancy numbers. Consider that Hispanic migrants are among the longest lived residents of the US. If you look at the data, you'll see the damage is done before people come in contact with the healthcare system.
- The U.S. has vastly higher rates of firearm-related homicides and suicides, motor vehicle accidents, and accidental drug overdoses.
- The U.S. suffers from higher rates of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and early-onset cardiovascular disease. This is driven by systemic factors like the American built environment (car-centric, less daily walking) and highly processed dietary patterns.

LEO not Leo, moron.
Yeah, get a brains! Morans.
Fine, i'll feed the troll
George Washington lamented that a handful of trained soldiers would run circles around his best militia men.
Sure, that's why Britian [sic] won the revolutionary war.
Actually, it was French help that swung the war. The insurgents were not so good back then.
But look at Afghanistan or Iraq. Those soldiers were a poorly trained and organised rabble. Yet they still defeated a professional US army. Its not always about the quality of the troops.
I credit most of SpaceX's success to CEO Gwen Shotwell.
Isn't that kind of childish? In the real world, there isn't a neat division between heroes and villains.
People you don't like can be successful. Yes, SpaceX success totally depended on Gwen for people skills, but also on Elon. Acknowledging that doesn't mean you have to be a fan. It just means you are a grown-up.
I was referring to the antiquated 'technology' of how it is implemented, not trying to start of partisan-political argument.
The system still assumes a world pre-dating the telegraph, or even railways, when it took weeks for communication across the colonies.
While the rest of the world has adapted, the US political system is still stuck in the 18th century.
If an election is called in the UK for example, the process takes 6 weeks, and the day after the election the new PM moved in to Downing St.
In the US, the transition *after* the election takes twice as long the whole UK campaign.
The richest country on earth, with the most sophisticated banking system,... is still moving money by writing account details on paper, signing it, putting it in an envelope,
Wait until you hear about their measurement system. And how about the Electoral College that appoints the president?
Their healthcare system still uses fax machines. And ask an American how much fun it is lodging income tax returns.
Pennies and dollar bills. Magnetic stripes on credit cards.
Its mind-boggling how the country that leads the world in new technologies, can also uniquely among developed nations, still be living in last century with some important technologies.
And also more nuclear power, resulting in fossil fuels now dropping below 30% of electricity production!
Apparently, "Gigapipe" was already taken.
And this is old news. https://x.com/SERobinsonJr/sta...
On May 20th, the Port of Brownsville Navigation District Board of Commissioners unanimously approved authority to negotiate an easement and right-of-way for a SpaceX planned 16-inch natural gas pipeline from the Port of Brownsville to Starbase.
What retard is wasting mod points on this grammatically incorrect garbage?
He needs to fix the apostrophe, and re-post it 100 times.
The Genie is out of the bottle. The toothpaste is out of the tube.
ha, i remember those metal toothpaste tubes! Lead? Aluminium? But with the plastic ones, you can suck it back in
Marvelous! The super-user's going to boot me! What a finely tuned response to the situation!
