Countries without auto manufacturers have better public transit.

50% of the Internet is paid trolls, it’s not ignorance.

10 million Cuban. I don’t think the US knows what it’s getting into if that amount of people get destabilized. The whole Caribbean then starts to domino.

Yes. It’s the bots, see Gersham’s law 'bad comments drive out good comments.

Might as well just boil up a handful of grass from the local park, about the same.

YYYY-DDD

Consumption is still growing, but the ‘oil’ in Venezuela is just tar, the ‘oil’ in the United States come from fracking. The days of sweet crude are behind us.

Maybe buy a small log cabin in the middle of nowhere. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/867-Lippert-Hollow-Rd_Allegany_NY_14706_M37796-74538 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/489-Martha-Ave_Olean_NY_14760_M46500-11332 and fill it up with everything.

“The former Royal Bank of Scotland submitter who was offered sushi rolls in exchange for helping try to rig the Libor rate-setting process has been banned by the UK’s financial regulator.” https://www.ft.com/content/23868e36-0095-11e6-ac98-3c15a1aa2e62

Wow, I can’t believe that you are getting some flack for this. Numerous times I’ve read a Wikipedia article, followed the citation, only to discover that the Wikipedia contributor had cherry-picked from a paper, giving a misleading summary.

And hiding the date the video is from, Youtube is getting worse.

You’re right, people do have rose colored glasses, when it comes to the past.

I’ve added the ‘anymore’ statement because I think that we’ve fallen below a ‘critical mass’.

Bowling isn’t a good example because it isn’t popular anymore, but I’ll use it as an example anyway. If there aren’t a core group of people that can consistently pay to play, the bowling alley goes bankrupt. That hurts the people that, because of a financial constraints, may have gone only occasionally. Even if there are a handful of ultra-wealthy people in a community that can go whenever then want, there are too few of them to really sustain a bowling alley, as they won’t be going everyday.

Everybody, and every corporations jumped on the landlord bandwagon, rents went crazy. Now there is nowhere to go, most small cool places, with live music, or a kitschy theme, have either closed or have become too expensive.

This is bad. At least in the 1990s when the economy was hard, someone could afford to rent out a small place and make a fun bar.

Everything is too expensive. People simply can’t afford to do things anymore.

How much do you know about Francis II, that last Holy Roman Emperor? A few people read about him, but he’s not that common of a name.

I think the opposite with happen with the same results. Everyone’s DNA will be on the books. It’ll be revealed that we’re all related somehow. You’ll be able to orient the database any way that you want to see how you’re related.

I barely think Trump will be remembered. In 600 years we’ll have a completely different economic/political system. I can’t image our quaint ideas of ‘nations’ lasting much longer. This economic/political system was a flash in the pan from just after the Napoleonic wars till about now. I’m not sure what will come soon, but we’ve been stuck with an antiquated system now for over 70years.

I’ll watch one video of someone I like. Randomly another video starts playing right after, before I have a chance to click away, my feed degenerates into some crazy slop.

It’s getting bad. Almost unwatchable now. Google is screwed.
