I dunno, there's a lot of engineering that goes into it, and that may be applied to other things. It's not like they're just buying a solid gold Lamborghini.
I love the NRA boogeyman. It's like it's the Illuminati, the Rothschilds and Adolf Hitler all run by the Lizard People. Please, tell me more. PS: He meant "Supreme Court". You just didn't figure it out. That's OK, even the literate sometimes make mistakes...
But they are becoming expansionist: Moves into Africa,"Islands" being created in the ocean, claims of entire swaths of that ocean. and we can't forget Tibet...
yes, but if a large number of people begin doing that, it may drive up housing costs due to long term housing unavailability. Without AirBNB, a certain number of four bedroom flat owners may have downsized rather than continuing to stay in them, thus opening up a four bedroom unit.
I disagree with your "in turn increases construction". From my experience price increases simply causes current homeowners, with rapidly rising house values, to fight tooth and nail to prevent any new housing being built. they fear increased density and losing their View/lifestyle. Complete NIMBY results California is almost a case study on this: Heck, in LA the local AIDs organization is fighting a housing project next door to its headquarters.
In California: High Speed Rail authority buys up all the houses in your neighborhood, but not yours, and the neighborhood blight results in it being worthless.
But even if you own a home, you're still bribing. The bribes just go to Taxes, and mortgage payments, and HOA Costs, and the savings you keep for when your water heater explodes or your roof needs to be replaced.
Ah, but if Americans stopped being stupid about it, the healthcare companies would lose their cash cow. And where do you think prices would rise to make up for this loss? Yep, you're it. So everyone with cheap good healthcare should really hope the US never gets its act together on this.
You know, I've been thinking about this, in my admitedly limited capacity. It seems everyone I know is constantly holding their nose and voting for someone they mostly disagree with. i think if we can get past this, we may find a solution.
And yet, the discussion is China. Oh, donuts may be mostly round, and Elon Musk may have launched a car into space: these are true, but have nothing to do with what we're talking about. You sound like my cousin. He could make a discussion on the merits of sous vide cooking somehow a diatribe against the US.
We move less. all the little movements that used to be required. I moved to Japan in 1998, lived there three years. Yes, the portions were smaller, but I just dropped weight without trying, even factoring in drinking binges. Because I rode a bike, because I walked to the bus, then walked to the train. Because walking four blocks was considered super easy. I had everyday movement that was necessary. Never took an elevator, took stairs like everyone. While here, back in the US, people will literally get in their car and drive 50 feet in a parking lot to go to the next shop.
I think that little bit of non movement, coupled with non changing eating habits ( or worse, increasing portion sizes) combine to make people fat.
Yes, but wage slaves have been around forever, and somehow people in the past found the time to do these things. The difference is, they weren't fed a diet of distraction: Cell phone cat videos, angry facebook postings, television shows with dragons,
Soldering correctly doesn't require intelligence, just practice. I used to work at a company with an entire team of the most idiotic morons, but they could solder anything perfectly while I was still trying to figure out where to plug things in. Those guys were fantastic at soldering, but just generally not too bright.
does it matter? Amazon's presenting their face for the marketplace. I don't buy that they're not equally responsible. If a friend vouches for someone else, and that other person swipes my wallet, I'm going to blame my friend for vouching for them in addition to the guy that stole my wallet.

To be fair, when the got Bezos to pay, he thought it was a ten thousand year Clock, but without the L. Bezos is big on that.

By that definition, every place in Los Angeles should receive no better than 2 stars due to traffic.
Isn't that where that wine cooler came from ?

Did you know a conservative angel gets it's wings every time someone blames Reagan for something.
Just like how a liberal one does when FDR is blamed.

Like mine.
Which mean nothing.

You know, those solar "leases" where you put the panels on your house and they sell you the power at a "discount"?

The big question is, will AI continue to say "Loose" instead of "Lose" ? ;)

Everyone wailed when it looked like Walmart was becoming a monopoly, and they've got nothing on Amazon. STOP BUYING THEIR STUFF.

Hmm, anonymous coward or Mazda engineer....who is right?
You know, I've actually met some Mazda Engineers, so I'm going to have to go with them.
