    How is that Crony capitalism?

    Did he have someone he knew give him a government contract for landscaping? or a government official close done the competition with a regulation that only he could meet or they looked the other way when he violated it?

    Yhey could also add a battery, that way it could be used to play without destroying batter life.

    That works for the iPhone, but Android is too fractured for such a device.

    I agree with what your saying there, which is why I'm baffled by plopez including the coat of commuting in the cost of living.

    People gets approx 40k for the family of four but nearly six of that is both parents commuting.

    But if both parents commute, they aren't living off the 18k any more, and if only one parent works making $10/hour with one car, you've hit the number he comes up with.

    A UBI shouldn't include commuting costs, and it really shouldn't include living in the nice part of the country or town (plopez's rent number).

    Why are you putting commuting costs into UBI?

    Why should UBI include a car even?

    Moving somewhere with shit economy and living off the UBI is a reasonable strategy, and it'd have the benefit of evening out the economy nationally.

    You don't think a professional is capable of watching everything and taking over?

    That's how I learned to drive.

    I think that the drivers that are taking over are the ones that need special licensing, not the cars personally.

    Do these cars have people in them ready to take over at all times?

    If so, I don't really think a permit is (should be) needed. I don't even see how it's any added danger actually.

  13. From what I remember of the myths, they really protected their wives.

    I grant that thousands of years later they could be viewed by modern framing though.

    I seem to remember a women kept in a pit so no one could fuck her for example.

  14. Monogamy seems to be a concept in the grecco Roman world.

    Or at least female exclusivity, which is actually all you need.

  15. I wonder then if it has nothing to do with monogamy, and perhaps the opposite in a sideways kinda way

    The human glans is believed to be like a cum plunger, and the reason we become super sensitive after cumming is so we don't keep trusting and plunge out our cum.

    The human pens is pretty weird in general, it's a funny inbetween length on the monogamy nononogamy scale, and relatively boring, but quite girthy. The premise of major monogamy for two million years goes against a lot of what o read though, things like the cum plunger and moaning during sex point towards non monogamy as the thing more recent than that in evolution.

    Absolutely,

    Also, I think Min Wage should be higher. Jobs SHOULD be automated to increase the productivity of the remaining jobs, and their should be more disposable money at the bottom to allow for investment in poorer areas.

    Like what?

    I got a BLU studio energy 2 a year or so back (just under a year). It is a pretty decent phone, slows down and hangs periodically requiring reboots (twice daily maybe if I run pokemon, otherwise about every other day), and incoming calls fuck it all up (takes about 15 seconds before it's responsive enough to answer, a slight nuisance once a week or so), but it has an honest 2 days of battery heavy use, I've never run it dead in 24 hours, with screen on times of 8+ hours leaving me ample battery still.

    Phone + Sim + Memory card = $150

    I look now and see maybe a moto G4 play (wasn't out yet) or a moto Z play (much more expensive, and bigger) as the only two maybe competitive now nearly a year later,

    Why was that a problem, it was quick recovery, and clearly the rare case of check fraud is cheaper than developing a new system.

    All sorts of contracts are easy to breach, but our legal system keeps fraud fairly low in the scheme of things.
