"we would expect"? Why would you expect that? I've watched both affluent and less well-to-do groups.
The affluent, whether by birth or training, tend to approach a problem with preparation. And, their time seems to be valuable to them. That is one of many reasons they become affluent. In this case, that would mean that they would arrive at the check-in table with a valid ID out and ready.
In the less affluent areas, you will see a contingent of ignoramuses who have not read the many signs posted to be read while standing in line, get to the check out desk before decided to search through many bags and pockets for an ID that is clearly invalid. A fact they would have known if they had bothered to pull it out when they bothered to read the posted signs. On being lawfully rejected, or shown the correct address to go to, that is printed on the letter they were sent, they will proceed to argue with the poll worker, even to the point of becoming belligerent.
Maybe you are correct. Since this behavior is predictable from repeated observation, the election boards should take it into account and reallocate resources.
You are offensive to a decent society. You're post was nothing but whining vitriol, with not even one counter argument to anything the paper contained. Yet, you equate the author with a criminal because his view of the world differs from yours. You're post is worthless and we are all dumber for having read it.
I don't like people that I can't work with. The only people I can't work with are the incompetent who try to take credit for other people's work...usually, that is the Power Point jockeys that spend all their time making colorful graphs instead of actually improving the product. Note: I have no problem working with the incompetent. That's a chance to improve my own skills by teaching. But, those slimy bastards that sneak away from the real work and try to take credit...they're blacklisted.
You shoot the 1" thick steel with a 50 cal bullet. It's going to punch a small hole (1" dia). You now have a hissing leak in a miles long 10ft diameter tube. But, somehow, a large car is going to hit this slowly increasing area of higher pressure hard enough to go from 1000 to zero in less than a second.
Can I have some of that weird shit your smoking? I'd like to get some studies done on how it can scramble a humans brain and yet leave them cognizant enough to type.
When you buy food at your local grocery store you have never once worried that it would make you sick. When you turn on your television you have never once worried that it would explode and burn down your house. Plane crashes and bridges collapsing are so rare that they are a big story when they happen. You live a live that is very safe and comfortable and it's because of all those terrible regulations.
Grocery stores would poison you, electronics companies would burn your house down, and airlines would be crashing their own planes if it were not for regulations. Because, those activities are so profitable?
Remind me not to get help from you the next time I'm writing a business plan.
Have researchers quantified how much global warming can be attributed to scientist studying global warming? The contributions of their meals, their feces, and the travel they embark on to take measurements in various parts of the world would all need to be looked at.
you should take a hard look at the parts of the world that have experimented with alternative approaches to managing economic production.
I like to think of those economic systems as trying to deny that greed exists. "We'll all just share, because unicorns and rainbows"
But, the truth is...people are greedy. All people. Note the "non-greedy" people screaming for a $15 minimum wage, when there are people in the world living off $1/day. The thing about capitalism is that it tries to "harness" greed. You too can be fabulously rich. You just have to do something your fellow man wants to pay for it.
But, then it all breaks down with monopolies, regulatory capture, and people in general being greedy.
The temperature rising 3 degrees on average, across the globe, results in the icecaps melting AND half the people in India dying of heat stroke? The Earth's energy increase just 0.6% results in catastrophe?
A) The Goldilocks Zone we found ourselves in was much smaller than we ever thought. The possibility of finding alien life now seems minuscule. B) Those glaciers at the north pole must of been more slush than ice all these years. C) Luckily, we have two generations to begin adapting. Do you really expect the craptastic shanty towns housing people in India will be around in 100yrs? I don't expect most of the crappy McMansions everybody struggles for in the US to be around.
1. That "absolute" safety may be impossible doesn't change the fact that the only acceptable target is zero.
Having worked in factories, most of the accidents I saw were caused by people breaking rules implemented to specifically avoid what caused the actions. You can't fix stupid, ipso facto, you can't have 100% safety.
In the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina, there is very little to see OTA, unless you want to watch reruns of 60's sit-coms (Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, etc) or westerns, so interspersed with adds for senior citizens (literally: "I've fallen and I can't get up", walk in bath tubs, scooter chairs, etc.)
I've watched a bit for nostalgia (that's what was on daytime TV when I was a kid), and the cheesiness was unsettling, but it is not something that I would call "entertainment".
That's one perspective. Another is that she ran the most incompetent and negative campaign in modern history. It has been demonstrated that she completely failed to lay out a plan for why anyone would vote for her, other than that she wasn't Trump, and she spent most of her advertising money in places that she had already locked down instead of places where the outcomes were less sure.
But, you can go ahead and blame it on the deluded white racists clinging to their God and guns if you want.
In this world, the software engineer's problem is getting paid.
The software companies problem is adding candy to the app to get you to choose it over the other app, and installation size doesn't get considered. The Google PlayStore doesn't even tell you how large an app is until you decide to install it.
So the situation is that the company gets judged on how fast "features" get added...engineer gets judged on what and how quickly she adds features. The fastest way to add a feature is to add a library that supplies it. Eliminating cruft earns no points, so no one works for it, but learning a new library will make the engineer's resume look better, so he might choose to add one even if the library used in a different part of the code would do the job.
The result is that what is rewarded get optimized.
And for good reason. As I understand it, Americans tend to drive longer distances on a regular basis. I think we'll settle down to a large majority of hybrids, though.
Most people settle into the same state where they were born. Your idea of "real" is unrealistic. You should try getting out more to understand that there is a whole world around you, filled with people with different needs than yours.
Among all respondents to the Pew Research Center survey, 57% say they have not lived in the U.S. outside their current state: 37% have never left their hometown and 20% have left their hometown (or native country) but not lived outside their current state.

If it were just cultural, you would expect to see wide variances and even opposite roles emphasized across cultures.
Please enlighten us as to which culture emphasizes men being caretakers, and women being the builders/makers.

Nah! I'd rather put my vagina hat back on and go around whining that I only get paid 70% of what men do.
It may be a lot easier to do that when you're not getting offered the chance of unzipping them.
A LOT of married men would gladly take birth control over expensive constant buying of condoms.
Married men have sex enough that the purchase of condoms is constant and expensive. Whahaha!!!
Seriously, though. It takes a day at the doctor's office and a weekend of holding frozen peas in your crotch. I made the decision after two.
You can't use just Congresses when trying to convey a meaning of how much feces that is, because the reader would not be able to tell the difference.

And they should suffer from it. Stupid should hurt. Pain is the only thing stopping stupid.

The FAA has set a monetary limit of where that cost tradeoff lies. Get used to it.

Considering that none of them are doing anything that should require more than 1MB......
I remember when the good old days was a large app on a 1.4Mb floppy disk.

Good luck when your datacenter loses power.
In North Carolina, last I checked, you will get a bill for $1,000 once per year. You're share for using the road.
