It is Germany, yes, but it's not "not Tesla."

Many companies manage to make money without destroying significant numbers of trees.

Just because something unethical is legal doesn't mean that the person doing that thing escapes all criticism.

Denying science isn't really something that deserves to be called a "view".

I suspect that if you add up all the money Youtubers make, and you divide it by all of the man hours people spent trying to make a living off of Youtube, "poverty stricken PhD candidate" would start to seem like a good financial decision.

I generally disagree with the entire plan, but if you're going to do anything like this, there is a large difference between getting caught with a weapon and not. Maybe even a squirt gun. You do not need to have a weapon to get convicted of robbing a bank.

But the speed at which signals propagate along the axons is below the speed of sound, sometimes much below—too slow to create the millions of neuron synchronizations that are the basis for all the amazing things the brain can do.

Is there a study where this is proven? I think that would be a more interesting read than this one.

Why do Minnesotans have accents?

Everybody has an accent. It's a weird question that seems to indicate that some people either don't have an accent or have some sort of "correct" accent.

If things had worked out differently, an accent like the Minnesotan accent could have been seen as the "correct" accent.

This article is about an out of control DeSantis removing several elected Democrats from their positions because he disagreed with them (because they were Democrats), and replacing them with Republicans.

Apparently, that's what passes for a democracy in Florida.

There wasn’t some grand conspiracy to implement it, all that happened was the rich being opportunistic and taking advantage of a broken system as per usual.

Does anybody truly believe that conservatives behind these programs believed they were giving free money to help out poor people? That goes directly against their usual platform.

In my opinion, the thing you're describing, where rich people convince politicians to give them money, while selling it as a way to make poor people wealthier, is a grand conspiracy, and the politicians were in on it.

It's obvious if you compare it to an actual alternative: Take the same money and instead of giving it to rich people, use it to help poor people start small businesses through grants, tax breaks, and discounted loans.

I think it couldn't be more blatantly obvious, but everybody is entitled to their own educated opinion.

I learned something from this post. Previously, I would have said that trickle down economics doesn't work at all.

But that's not right. It has always worked as intended. Because it was always intended to benefit the rich and increase the wealth gap between them and everybody else.

Joe Rogan should spend more time riding on public transportation. He'd be sure to find other people who make sense to him. They'll be the ones who are walking around talking loudly at other passengers.

The VP actually has a great deal of Constitutional power already, as the Constitution declares them to be President of the Senate, with the power to cast a tie-breaking vote. Their ability to be Presiding Officer of the Senate, I would argue makes the VP more powerful than a normal Senator. The fact that modern VPs choose not to use this power, I think demonstrates that the VP actually has a lot more power than people realize.

She’s got a point, but the same point could be made about her, so it’s hard to take her seriously.

So, you agree with her statement because of its content, but then try to cast doubt on the same statement because of who said it?
