Braiiiiins, of course. Jeez.


Too much travel done by car in the US.

Sidewalk cafes in Europe thrive off foot traffic to and mass transit and bicycles.

All those cars require all the parking lots. Parking decks are too expensive for every little cafe to build. So the businesses group to pool the parking cost. A strip mall.

You want a cafes scene? Get rid of most the cars.


This is one of the critical things that put the lie to the claim that parking spaces = customers. Cars get rid of customers, so you have to put in parking spaces just to get some of them back.


Hodor.


The only means by which corruption can fought and reduced all involve bureaucracy by definition.


If a person were getting 10x the amount a person gets on unemployment + food stamps, you might be able to call that basic income.

Please show us all how a person living in a US city could survive on food stamps, ethana.



Aside from the fact that the Daily Mail is a tabloid which makes its money primarily from inflaming right-wing sensibilities while misreporting or fabricating stories, this seems like a particularly ludicrous assertion considering that it would imply a far higher rate of welfare fraud than actually happens.

Could you tell us how much money it's possible to claim from the system, and how much a realistic minimal standard of living might actually be? If you do your research honestly, you might find it illuminating.


anecdotes != data


The 47 millions food-stamp recipients disagree with you.


I am glad that someone is speaking up on their behalf, but I don't get your point. Have you spoken to each of these 47 million individuals? Are you one of them? Are you just letting your butt do the talking? We'll never know.


There is no way to reduce corruption in society without regulations and bureaucracy.


I agree.

Unemployment runs no lower that 70% among disabled people in the best of times.

Anyone that is not literally perfect (beautiful, slim, brilliant, healthy, emotionally well centered) faces huge obstacles from the powers that be in our society.


Don't forget, in some cases, young.


We know all about Hacker News "not that dificult"

I smell a simple 26 step process that can't legally be done in some parts of the Middle East and N. Korea, a few assembler and brainf*ck scripts, and a little simple arc-welding.


To see how incorrect that statement is, look at every other democracy in the world. Only two two-party democracies. Every other democratic country but like Jamaica is 3 parties or greater.


Now we know J. Edgar Hoover was tracking homosexuals to get phone numbers for cute boys.
