  • Do basic math. If we are talking about $5/mo per person, that means you got $60/yr per person. 60*160M=$9.6B.

    When taking taxes, 1 $10B isn't a ton of money, let alone half that. And that's just taking total tax payers at a flat rate. If you graduate it according to income, you could easily make this manageable for all persons. $5.89B is .13% of the total US tax revenue. So an additional .13% of tax revenue to help out .17% of the US population.

    Keep up.

  • What? There have been hundreds of experiments confirming many different hypotheses of quantum physics...

    The photoelectric effect you have seen nearly every day (have you every used a modern camera with auto-iris? What about solar power?)

    The double-slit experiment proves that subatomic particles can act as both a particle and a wave, which is pretty instrumental in further theories of QM.

    Freedman-Clause verified quantum entagnlement.

    Usage of Nuclear energy for both bombs and generating electrical power..

    Superconductors and Cooper-pairs.

    Even the other poster joking about the Copenhagen interpretation - Copenhagen lead to discoveries in Qubit measurement (read up on Quantum State Tomography).

    Quantum physics isn't one single, independent theory... And it keeps evolving as our understanding changes.

  • As long as everyone is doing their part. Once one person decides " we don't want others here" and starts human trafficking people to smaller states that don't have the money or infrastructure a available to support a massive influx, then it becomes problematic. Not because of the people, but because of the ass-jacket that is forcing people without access to winter clothing to a place that is -40f (during a religious holiday about an immigrant being born in a barn because the town had too many people, and no one kind enough to let them in...) and therefore people end up not having the services they need to thrive.

  • It isn't. Or at least it isn't as big of a problem as they are letting on. https://www.retaildive.com/news/retailers-crime-problem-numbers/699107/

    Shrink has hovered around 1.5% (that's 1.5% of total sales...) And the NRF has been coy about the fact that 1/3 of that shrink is "administrative" issues - lost product, mis allocated, warehouse issues, broken in transit, etc.

    Additionally, a little less than a third is from employee theft, and a the remaining 36% is external theft.

    But since they lump mistakes and general admin issues in with theft, they get to claim a higher number whenever they complain very loudly so that they can redirect the conversation away from the massive increase in profits they have had, along with the increase in wage theft cases they are losing, as well as trying to cover up the fact they are closing "under performing" stores in poorer neighborhoods (which not limits access to people in those locations, but the store doesn't care, they dont buy stuff anyway...).

  • Also, can we just acknowledge how fucked up it is that this person felt they had no other way to deal with the situation, all because a group of people cared what clothes he wore in private.

    I get that he decided to be part of this group, but even still... No one deserves that.

  • Not guilty. Innocent refers to the fact that a defendant could have in no way committed the crime, where as not guilty does not presume innocence, but states that the prosecution has not met it's burden to prove guilt.

    Additionally, for context, the three burdens of proof are:

    • beyond reasonable doubt - most likely in criminal cases where prosecution has the burden
    • clear and convincing evidence (typically in custody/family law)
    • propondedance of evidence - most likely in civil cases where the plaintiff has the burden

    And then you can expand to probably cause and reasonable suspicion for warrants or HHS intervention in child abuse cases...
