Correct. The OECD disagrees with this data from 2017. Although, it is true, that the United States is lagging behind 75% of other countries in terms of life expectancy. There is an issue.
You realize that you're statistically more likely to kill one of your kids than you are to "defend" them? And defend them from what, exactly?
You realize that you're evidence of certain types of statistics about irrational humans. Thanks for helping confirm them. You suffer from at the very least, the Dunning Kruger Effect. But you will say no because you lack the intellectual capability to assess your own competency in a domain. In other words, you'll argue by any means necessary why you're right and everyone else is wrong and that will be the sole point of discussion therefore it is pointless to converse with you. This is also a form of narcissism because you've made yourself the center of attention.
Let me ask you this (I'm regretting this already), if you are so sure of how right you are, why do you need to compel others to confirm your beliefs? If you were absolutely certain, you wouldn't need other people's approval in this manner. It seems contradictory but what do I know...
Violent crime is way lower than it was during the Reagan administration.
While that particular fact is true there has been sharp increase in 2017-2018. Here is the evidence. I don't attribute that to Trump taking presidency. I attribute that to an exhausted American population that has been weathering enormous stress and anxiety to the The Great Recession and getting fed up with it. That's also why a populist president was elected. There is a populism backlash not just in the United States but in Western Europe in response to Globalization and the loss of jobs/good jobs. Harvard University has lectures on youtube about this. Check your facts. Further evidence exists at Gallup. Check Congress's approval ratings for the past 10 years and also check the top issues. Economy is usually #1 or #2. That means America is dissatisfied with the way the Federal Government is handling economic issues.
Under Ronald Reagan, 20 years before the War on Terror
I was referring to the most recent deficit run after Bill Clinton balanced the Federal Budget before leaving office in 2000. The previous deficit run ups are not relevant as Bill Clinton had corrected those issues.
When did deficits start going up substantially? With the beginning of the "War on Terror"
When did the national debt go up substantially? See previous question answer
When did gas prices go up substantially? 2006
(BONUS QUESTION) Why did gas prices go up in price shock fashion in 2006? OPEC artificially reduced supply in retaliation of the invasion of Iraq by the United States on the beginning of the "War on Terror" that was without just cause and without UN support
When did school shooting start going up? It started with the Columbine High School shooting which happened in 1999
When did "mass shooting deaths - way up" occur or more properly stated when did violent crime start increasing significantly? Violent crime has been gradually occurring since the onset of the The Great Recession because after being under substantial stress, anxiety and depressed some of the blue collar working class people that you probably don't even have any concept of blew a fuse and had a couple screws go loose.
Now that you have the facts, what do you have to say for yourself?
BS, it's an app that takes a picture like SnapChat and then computes some data and sends it to FB. Not hard. You have no clue what you're talking about.
Why can't Facebook send these users an app that runs against their nude pictures to produce the machine learning data that FB needs to identify the revenge porn without actually sending nudes to FB? Common sense, so rare...
How can that be? Does that only apply to Comcast supplied residential gateways that are both cable modem and WIFI router in one? I never use Comcast's gateways. They are terrible. For the longest time all they supported WIFI-wise was 2.4 ghz 802.11g. If you wanted to use your own router, you had to set their gateways in bridge mode which different techs had varying opinions about whether that would work well with their particular Arris hardware. I decided to go with my own router and mesh WIFI system. Seriously, why would you pay a monthly rental fee for a piece of junk not only from a technical perspective but now also from a security perspective?
If it wasn't humans it would have been something else. Whatever is at the top of the food chain will do this provided it can proliferate itself via reproduction. That is life and biology. We are made to do this. Get over it.
Ancient Roman athletes were in excellent physical condition, ate a healthy, mostly vegetarian diet, received the best medical care available and were outside a lot in fresh air.
Get off your vegan soap box. They ate KETO diet, that's why.
Correct. It might be that those with a lower life expectancy for other reasons, like poverty during childhood, more often end up in physically demanding jobs.
Or it could have something to do with the culture of manual labor jobs like general contractors and sub-contractors often involve people that chain smoke Marlboro Reds and having a poor diet, at least in the USA.
The root cause of many social problems is too many stupid people.
The root cause of "too many stupid people" is more interesting. Hold on a minute, I only have a 5 second attention span, it's time to watch Ow my balls.
force down wages of their technical workers. I love the whining that they can not find workers. Truth is they can not find workers willing to work under their terms and conditions for the amount of money they want to pay.
The HR people and hiring managers I've spoken to tell me the climate regarding hiring H1-B's has shifted dramatically. The are very concerned about the increased scrutiny from the government to justify the hires and as a result they are looking elsewhere.
Correct, now it's a better bargain to hire kids straight out of college.
that I see tech almost completely dominated by people here on work visas, to the point where companies have completely shut down their training departments because they don't have to train anymore. There's not enough H1-Bs to fill that many positions. The program is big and corrupt but not that big and corrupt.
It's simple: Companies don't want to pay a fair wage. They want to maximize profits and cutting costs (wages) is a way to do that. Self employment is looking more attractive all the time.
Oh, I'd love to see that--especially if the suit were successful. But I don't see it being successful, alas, since this SCOTUS is essentially the same one that gave us that horrid Citizens United decision.
You might actually. It depends on if Supreme Court Justice seats are appointed during the current administration. I know Trump's not the nicest guy but he is a populist president and whether you want to admit it or not that means he is regularly giving the US Chamber of Commerce and their sponsored Super PACs the finger in a lot of cases. That is in stark contrast to the past 30-40 years where politicians were exclusively bought off and marionettes dancing on puppet strings. Sometimes I wonder if some of these memes against Trump are actually coming from the tentacles of the US Chamber of Commerce because Populism would be in direct opposition to Oligarchy.
Not gonna happen. The big ISPs are going to do what they've always done: increase their revenues by innovation, new infrastructure, and services that people want to buy. Improving their service and customer experience.

Do you remember what George Carlin said the United States' biggest export was? Pure 100% Grade A Bull____. And it's true. I'm disgusted by my country.

Or we could just start mass producing Slurm

GP implies that they ate specifically vegan. That's misleading. Keto diet is the superset and more accurate.
