My theory is that there's not enough money at the lower levels - where it gives the most benefit to the most people.
If someone gave you a few thousand, chances are it would be used sometime soon - a repair, a vacation, a rainy day fund. If that stays at the lower / middle class levels, chances are it gets recirculated soon from there as well.
Otherwise it sits in a rich person's bank account, and is used by the bank to do real estate investment - which leads to newer buildings and higher commercial / residential rents.
Yes, the rich and corporations generally do things with their money - it's not just sitting in a pool like scrooge mcduck. Unfortunately, what they do with the money tends to have the effect of suppressing the lower classes

The oldest federal park ranger in the US, who died recently, had a grandmother that was a slave.
We're just 2 generations away from 'ancient history'

Where's the copy and paste key?
You're a programmer, be efficient!
Why press two buttons when one button do trick?

I meant, what if the in and out employee was living with someone immunocompromised.
Would that count? Should the employee be forced to tell an in and out manager that they are living with someone like that?

It's an opportunity cost thing. You could sell them and get some money from it. Do you like having those games and the thought of playing them? Or the idea of collecting one more? Or would you get more enjoyment or use out of the money you would get?

Fuck you if your spouse or parents are going thru chemo, huh?

Look at the tom Scott two generals problem video

Anki is a flashcard app that can help with memorizing vocabulary.
Watch media in English with your local language as subtitles. Or the opposite.

I thought we all agreed web3 was dead and killed by shills and get rich quick schemes. Why are people still on this bandwagon?

A vacuum with a hose on it can also help to reduce the population load enough that the other measures have a chance of eliminating that problem.
You'll look like a crazy person while doing it though.

I asked for a list of words, and asked to remove any words ending in the letter a. It couldn't do it. I could fight my way there, but the next revision added some back.

If you're paying a monthly fee to rent, you'll make your money back in a year by just purchasing a modem jnstead

"the keyboard and touchpad make me angry"
I think you need to try this out with an open mind. Plenty of people use laptops as their only computer, only with trackpad. Plenty others just toss a Bluetooth mouse in their bag and use that.
I get using a PC, but a laptop does have its advantages.

It's also a problem to think that 40 hr weeks are behind the US productivity when multiple experiments with companies have shown no difference for having 4 day work weeks

Fucking WSJ. Yes, a population that doesn't care about upholding an arbitrary 40 hr workweek is the problem. Not increasing wealth gaps or deteriorations in social services.

I think the main takeaway from this is that for hetero couples, if the man is harassing the woman for not breastfeeding, she can legitimately look him in the face and say 'do it yourself'

Graco extend 2 fit, which is in the picture, is a good one. Super adjustable, cheap, and with good reviews. Comes with cupholders too!

Those aren't spiders. They have 6 legs.
