I love alternative history as much as the next guy, but that’s too whacky for me.
That's quite a load of copium you're inhaling there. Are you really going to argue with a straight face that Iran's recent missile attacks made...
And a US governmental body could do the same thing as USC is doing here. If someone was scheduled to speak at a government-run event, and the...
If Hamas admitted to 6,000 dead fighters, the real number must be at least double. No armed force gives accurate casualty numbers to outsiders.
Petroleum and gasoline are international markets. Increases in demand or decreases in supply elsewhere will affect American gas prices.
That’s a good point. When the Great Recession hit, a lot of workers left the construction business because residential construction froze up for a...
I think most women do want kids. It’s just that up until relatively recently in human history, they didn’t have a lot of control over how many...
Similar problems as S. Korea, from my understanding. Though children are culturally revered, the way society is structured is not family-friendly.
So, with a fertility rate of 0.9, that means the next generation of South Koreans will be half the size of this one, and the one after that would...
It would be interesting to see how much of that drop is due to non-Mormons moving into the state versus Mormon women having fewer kids per-capita....
I guess we could all convert to Mormonism, as one option. Utah doesn't seem to have problems with fertility.
Aren't there countries in Europe, especially among the Nordic countries, that provide a lot of child-friendly benefits already? And their...
At the local level? Not really. The problem right now for a lot of cities is that the central business cores in places like DC are relatively...
A lot of local governments are looking at big budget shortfalls. I don't see them spending money to buy distressed properties and then selling...
Local governments don’t have the expertise for that type of conversion. The best approach would be to create financial incentives for office to...
The difficulty with upzoning an area is that the people living in single family home communities don't typically want that. And since they get to...
I wonder, at this point, whether either party to this conflict really knows their end goal for the war.
The ideal would be a society where AI raises productivity to such a level that we can afford to provide everyone with a universal basic income....
I'm sure they'll get right on that :rolleyes:
The evidence seems to show that the Israeli government ignored the warnings from their own people, as well as from Egyptian sources. That happens...
You shouldn't find it surprising that governments and militaries screw up and get caught with their pants down. Especially after years of relative...
If an AI could identify targets to allow only 10% collateral casualties, that would be a tremendous step forward in the reduction of civilian...
Those are just technical/logistical issues. Nothing insurmountable. If FIFA or CONCACAF wanted to be serious about cracking down on troublemakers...
Cameras at the entrances to stadiums scan everyone and compare them to a database of known troublemakers and people who are banned. They get...
With facial recognition technology, it should be viable to identify people involved in the chants and slap them with lifetime bans to any soccer...
