Your mind will be blown once you discover rent seeking behaviour.

or what 'passive income' is.

Cameras just use light waves and are already a mass surveillance system.

Eating only corn and wheat will leave you with nutrient deficiencies. You can be obese and still malnourished if all the veggies you eat are a slice of tomato and lettuce in your burger and half a potato with the same volume of frying oil.

A good construction worker can make more money than a bad web developer and certainly more money than an e-mailer that can barely use excel.

Pulling out is pretty effective when you do it right, they can't really ban that. In very catholic Quebec up to the 1950s priests would get involved in couple's marital lives and apply pressure when wives weren't getting pregnant for just that reason.

There's like what, 15 to 20% of americans actively trying to trigger rapture? You've got a lot of religious nuts in your country, and they really are bad people.

Clearly you also learned the messaging principles so clearly demonstrated in the great Basket of Deplorables debacle of 2016. Maybe you can be GGP's deputy.

Anyway, do you have a source for that? My understanding of American evangelical protestant theology is that they don't view rapture as triggerable in nature. Not being one, I can't state that confidently, so I'd love to see your source for your stats, and understand your definition of what it is they feel they can do to trigger rapture.


I had great childcare that was subsidized such that my parents paid 7$ a day when I was a kid.

In Québec we have pretty extensive parental leave and we have heavily subsidized daycare (used to be 7$ a day per kid, now it's means-tested but you still get a hefty refund on your healthcare expenses come tax season).

When the program was put into place it paid for itself with the amount of mothers that entered the workforce.


The fundamental underlying value on stocks also depends on fluctuating prices for the goods and services that firms buy and sell, just like commodities.

The computing cost to mine more bitcoin is hailed as the underlying value by proponents of that notion. It depends on bitcoin holders refusing to sell at a price lower than the cost of mining, which isn't a given. It's also a notion that doesn't account for potential innovations such as quantum computing, which would significantly reduce crypto mining costs.
