Hey ....

Leaving my bubble means going to a black owned business? What are you even talking about?

Yet balancing those books would be stunningly simple if you could simply shift the $10,000,000,000 spent in the last twenty years on middle eastern oil wars from destruction to civil reconstruction.

In the past we Americans took pride in the kind of initiatives you’re advocating. When did the kind of negativity and whining we hear from conservatives on this issue become patriotic, let alone acceptable?

Starred for discussion. Why do you assume that all criticism is coming from “feminists, gays, and minorities of all kinds”? I’m a regular white dude and I’m also offended by LOTS of stuff, primarily racist immigration bullshit. Like you though, the Swimsuit Issue doesn’t offend me at all - it’s an irrelevant dinosaur…

Transforming mars might be a lot easier than most people believe. We just need to throw a giant asteroid at it, and hope the impact results in an event that causes the planet to heat up enough to result in reactivation of its core.

Nonsense. I’ve taken LSD every single day my whole life and my language center is absolutely potato.

Quickly-cooking chicken breasts and pork chops are great for weeknight meals — except when they turn out as dry and flavorless as shoe leather. Brining has become my saving grace! It’s a way of ensuring juiciness and adding flavor, and unlike turkey and corned beef that need to soak for days, these thin cuts will…

Unicorn magic. D'uh!

Here is the short answer - None. What you are proposing is actually the illusion of security.

Good article, but it misses my perspective almost entirely.

Not too deeply though. You might inhale some FODMAP.

cool thanks for the insight very interesting! A lot of people just try to look at exchange rates and think that's the answer, but as you pointed out purchasing power varies from place to place. Same reason why a car costing £22,000 in the UK only costs ~$22,000 here in the USA. Doing just a straight exchange rate…

You know...dead is dead. Maybe we should STOP worrying about the physical remains we leave behind and focus on leaving behind something of value.

All burial grounds are a waste of space. I think in this day and age it is utterly presumptuous and selfish to maintain a physical space in the world once dead.
