Comparing Bernie Sanders campaign proposals to actual policy elsewhere is a category error to begin with. I don't say that as a knock on Sander's or anything, but comparing proposals to actual...

I believe the Salvation Army throws less of their item donations away that some like the Goodwill, but I have never seen the thrifts compared conclusively. But that has to be an important...

no. the subsidies do not work with an unpredictable income, if you can't predict your income they are little use because your income could either exceed or be too low to get them. I didn't collect...

+1 And of course there are studies on age discrimination in employment and women, it hits women earlier and it hits them worse. But that 50 year old man is by no means home free either. Most...

Yes they are bad policies. Yes consumers may not navigate short term policies well.

If you think ACA policies are working to give people coverage though, you don't know all that is going on. ...

I don't think it makes anyone look younger (well ok maybe the 30 year old who has gone all gray but that's because they ACTUALLY ARE YOUNG and just genetically programmed for early graying). But...

Held a position in the House or Senate (aka actual elected experience in the Federal government) or at least governorship of a larger state (although maybe W had no real experience there, not that...

He's unqualified though, he's a mayor of a small town, that's his resume. He'd have to have the best advisers out there. Or a VP with power, haha thinking Cheney but actually needless to say W had...

I don't know why anyone assumes they know absolutely which candidate might be appealing to the masses, it's usually via projection but one's experience is seldom universal, it often is very very far...

Maybe I wanted at times to be a teacher, a journalist, a musician. But journalism hardly exists as a profession at this point, and very few people could ever make it as a musician at any time. I...

Technology is probably a net negative. But I don't have twitter, facebook, instagram, or a smart phone. I just read too much news online I think :~) It's almost never good news .... And read...

I camped out all night in the cold waiting to buy one.

So thanksgiving itself I did with bf's family and did not host, and it ended up in humiliations I didn't even expect coming from nowhere. And I'm 5 years old again.

Day after thanksgiving I tried...

The only holiday I really do much is thanksgiving, and still it's been too hard.

And that's the bad news ...

I mean does anyone want such a humanity to survive? One's loved ones, yea sure, but if they aren't to be among those who do anyway. I don't know, I'm not that narrow...

Probably influenced more by right wingnut media than the Russians, but we do love blaming external enemies.

What we're talking about here is not activism but violence as almost all activism from campaigns to protest, even civil disobedience, is explicitly non-violent. But yes it makes a case for...

This is the source I guess, it seems somewhat credible as sources go, but it's based on complaints to the police and a youtube....

It's the best selling cookbook of all time (in the u.s.), and yes if you want to know how to make something that is mainstream in the U.S., it will be there, and usually pretty good as well, unless...

Regardless of season, unless you can harvest them wild somewhere, I'm quite sure you can't have blueberries and a $4 a day diet, if organic, they can near $4 just by themselves :).

Haven't humans been described as omnivores by nature since like forever? So no I don't think carnivore was ever a common term for it really. New slang, I bet you can find a 60 old biology textbook...

Well there's a lot of information out there and I'm not sure I can find that exact information, and there is some ambiguity.

this graphic is by kg of food and has butter and cheese as worse than...

for animals it may be a win, for the planet I've certainly seen stuff that says dairy is worse for the environment than chicken and then one may wonder why they keep ordering the veggie lasagna if...

Well it's going to hit hard limits to growth sometime though. Although it's not always clear when and how.

But there is an argument that a different path could have been taken in that the U.S....

Does optimism and pessimism even matter, even if one was near 100% that we were going off a climate cliff, some will take the position that having kids even if they only have x good years is worth...
