So if women are 2x as likely to default as men on a loan (MADE UP NUMBER, NOT BASED ON FACTS), damn right that is important to know when considering to give the loan and at what interest rate. This would not be sexism or bigotry or wtv else regressive fascist femenazis and SJW would have you believe. It would be an important variable when measuring risk.
What if black people were more likely to default on a loan? Would you be OK with charging black people more than white people?
I understand what you're saying, and I understand why people might take various demographic information into account, but you (presumably) wouldn't support making legal random searches on black men, just because one in three end up in jail at some point in their life. We understand at a fundamental level that THAT is wrong.
People should be judged on their worthiness based on what they've done, not how they were born. A loan shouldn't be based on sex or colour.
Bringing People Back makes the whole task more than twice as difficult. We should be aiming to make it a one way trip. At least a semi-permanent one-way trip. I'm not volunteering for such a trip but I'm sure plenty will.
It is already saturated and looks to be little profit for a large risk. Nonetheless, they will have advantages over other convenience stores:
1) People will be going there anyway to pick up packages. (same idea as petrol stations, only most people avoid going inside at those places now you can pay at the pump).
2) Amazon name recognition which many people correlate with "cheap prices" (regardless of whether that is true anymore).
If you're going to have pick-up locations you might as well sell something there too to help cover the costs.
Let me guess, if you don't subscribe to Prime or spend $49 in one purchase you can't have a free plastic bag to carry your groceries to your car in; instead you have to buy one for $15.
I'm also sure it depends on what laws are being broken and the reward for breaking it. I'm sure much less than 15% would be willing to kill a man if the reward were a circus-peanut. I'm sure much more than 15% would be willing to break the speed limit delivering a package if the reward were a $1000 bonus.
I have created about 2 dozen semi-permanent personal e-mail addresses in my life. Half of them I still use (and only because I have them forwarded to one of two main hub accounts).
That means there are at least a dozen old e-mail addresses of mine that may or may not work or be receiving non-spam e-mail. (they're obviously receiving spam).
When it comes to technology; in the lab the US is worldwide leaders. On the street and in the home, the US is about 5 years behind the rest of the developed world.
I can usually count on technology my relatives in Europe getting arriving in the US 5 to 10 years later.
Britain is an island mon, like Hawaii or Jamica. We got the blue skies every day. Never rains, just a tropical paradise. Britain's sheep grow spandex instead of wool.
One has to balance the practicalities between effectiveness and usefulness.
I imagine lead would do a much better job at blocking alien mind-reading technology than tin; however, tinfoil would be lighter and easier to wear. If the leadfoil is too heavy to wear when walking the dog, who really is going to use it?
Tin foil might only block out some alien technologies and leadfoil blocks them, but let's face it; no-one is going to wear the leadfoil in public unless they're crazy, So it's tinfoil for me all the way. Might not work as well, but at least it is wearable.
The term "social media" has become much more encompassing than it used to be. Nowadays any place two or more people can interact is being labeled as "social media".
American's think they invented everything. Like "Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb". No, he improved Swan's light bulb- and yes, he had the first commercially successful light bulb sold under his name, but guess who he hired to make the "Edison lightbulb" work? Swan, not only was Edison's bulb just an improvement on Swan's design- Swan did a lot of the work on the Edison bulb too!
Or the Wright brothers were first to fly. No, they were first to fly without assisted take-off. Several people actually beat the Wright brothers to flight with a heavier than air craft, they just required assistance to get started.

The worst part is when the UPS guy throws the eggs over the fence instead of opening the gate to walk up to my door.
Almost no gravity, no atmosphere, no cool landscapes to take pictures of and send back to a wide-eyed audience at home.

Because Donald Trump isn't president.

Tuesday is rich, what with all the Rubys of Tuesday. They have the financing to send people to space.
Going to mars is a one way ticket, just to say "I did it first" and have some monument built back here on earth to you.
You go there for science. You go there for discovery. You go there to lead to colonization and making mankind a multi-body species.
You don't go just to plant the flag. The red on the flag would clash with Mars's orange.
No purpose to it?
People go to Death Valley, Philadelphia, church, and climb Mt. Everest.
No purpose is required, just curiosity.
I thought people went to Philadelphia for a purpose... ... to buy drugs.

Surely illegal in some manner or other, but slick nonetheless.
In some manner? You mean perjury? Yes, it is illegal, very illegal and can carry a hefty sentence.
Slick, not so much.

I wonder if my old excite and Hotmail accounts still work. Probably not.

Well, advertisers will pay to fix these roads...

can accelerate GEREXIT at some point.
I prefer 'Deut-schit'.
I propose a Reality TV tax. Tax people based on how much they watch reality TV.
I imagine it would have to be one attached to a solar power grid. (although technically emissions were used in the creation of that solar power grid).
Germany's electric system is very heavily centered on renewables, but even they aren't emissions neutral.
What about the whale oil industry, that is struggling to make a comeback? Is Germany worrying about all those whale oil workers? No they are not.
I've always thought the ocean had too many whales in it. We should be harvesting whales to stop global warming.
