Re: [FRIAM] What is Stopping Poor People From Moving? - The Atlantic

There are a number of things that bother me about the article. First, most (poor) people don’t need a bunch of academics to tell them that a higher wage is an illusion if the cost of living is astronomical. Second, regardless of your philosophical position on affordable housing, as hinted at

Gil- My sympathies are with you.  Your father and I (and many others here) were lucky enough to "come of age" when computing was (relatively) new and the opportunities were exploding.  Many of us had limited computer science (or even programming) education/training.   We likely had some

Many here are thinking this. I shall say it. Jerks. Plane and simple their are many jerks in the business world. Also things are pretty out of kilter. I don't make it a secret that I am challenged when it comes to those litttle slips of paper. I don't know how many job postings I've seen that'll

While the world has seen many mass migrations forced by economics (and climate), I doubt it has ever been a "pretty picture" either for those forced to migrate or those forced to receive them. Certainly the indigenous people of North (and to a lesser extent South) America got quite the shock

Re: [FRIAM] on Feynman, again

Good Article. It portrays Robinson as a maverick but still a scientist who is ultimately interested in the truth. I respect that. My question is how does someone who respects truth get along with the Heartland institute, which I have always thought of as a well funded machine for corporate
