This was the research done by Freakonomics!

We estimate that crime fell roughly 20% between 1997 and 2014 due to legalized abortion. The cumulative impact of legalized abortion on crime is roughly 45%, accounting for a very substantial portion of the roughly 50-55% overall decline from the peak of crime in the early 1990s.

Cultural smells are interesting. In Japan, they find the strong scents of perfume, cologne, and even shampoo that westerners wear to be intolerable and people at restaurants will discreetly ask to change tables to move away from those wearing it. They are more sensitive to fragrances there while Americans have fragrance in almost everything.

Of course, the most respectful thing to do when traveling is to just take a shower and wear a neutral deodorant so that you're not giving off any unique smells.

This situation sure sounds like it blew up into a racist power trip though.

They were in violation of the TOS for abusing CF's IPs with site rotation to circumvent IP bans to their online casino. They need an enterprise plan to BYOIP with their level of traffic. They were given 48 hours notice of site deletion but were given almost 2 weeks before doing so. Read the comment at the bottom of the substack post for further detail.

True, it's not black or white, there's a spectrum of beliefs within those communities.

I'd be happy with a social democracy that emphasizes a mixed economy with strong social welfare programs funded by progressive taxation. Examples include the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden).

I don't know how to accomplish that though because the farther we slip into a class dictatorship, the harder it will be to enact progressive taxation. We'd all vote yes to tax the 1% richest more, but that will never be on any ballot for us to choose.

At the risk of getting downvoted into oblivion, this is not a fair representation of their complaints or desires. Maybe a minority of them want what you described.

It's actually possible for our government to be more democratic if we could remove capitalist interference from our government structure.

Your democracy is a sham and here's why.

In 2016, the blue team won by 3 million votes and still lost the election. The system is broken. I'll still vote blue, but I don't think it will matter, especially since I'm not in a swing state.

The Electoral College Explained

Lol I had to examine that to check for Saddam or the nutty putty cave guy.

Ford sold 200,000 pickup trucks in Q1 2024 while Toyota sold 50,000 so those links alone do not tell the whole story. Those recalls are relatively small compared to Ford's market.

Also, Fords are typically easier and cheaper to buy and there are more service centers for them. This is also related to them being the most popular fleet vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a Toyota, but there's a reason why you pay more for the "Toyota tax".

He's been writing his pop-tart joke since 2010!
