That's probably the only way to move things forward though. Implement rules that only affect future politicians. Let the current generation have their cake. We can gradually transition to something more sane as they get replaced.
They still use those here. I don't bother with the tape. Just cut the bag.
- Talking about sex: Perfectly healthy and is something every parent should do.
- Talking about sex toys and flashlights: Also perfectly normal.
- Requesting/offering help in purchasing a flashlight (e.g. take my credit card and buy something under my name or driving them to a sex shop): Normal
- Choosing the fleshlight for them and thus making the decision in exactly what kind of sensations they experience while masturbating: Out of bounds.
With such a glaring oversight, I don't know how I can trust the rest of this infographic.
If anything, eliminating cars would probably improve the roads since there will be much less wear and tear. People will still be walking there and want a good walking experience, so improvements will still happen.
If [...] youre not trying to save them, what does it matter?
That's the problem I'm currently addressing, isn't it?
If you are trying to save youre not keeping hard cash youre investing it.
The general recommendation for savings is to first create a sufficiently large emergency fund. This is meant to cover things like sudden medical bills, repairs, and other things of that nature that can't wait. This needs to be quickly accessible, so it rules out GICs. I'm guessing a plain savings account would count as cash that can expire, so that's out. That leaves us with bonds and equity. Both have a fair amount of volatility. This isn't a problem if you have enough money because everything trends upwards in the long term. If all you have is $500 saved up and you need to draw from it during a market downturn, you've probably just lost $50 of your hard earned money. That's a huge amount when you have so little. If you have $5k and you lose $50? Whatever, chump change.
Secondly, rich people definitely do not hold on to plain cash. The vast majority of their wealth is going to be in some form of investments, so if this is meant to prevent wealth concentration, I don't see how it'll manage to take anything away from them.
Most likely you'll be getting the older bills that are close to expiry if you're poor. It doesn't matter how much time they're given when they're minted.
salt, sunflower oil and some vinegar
I mean, add an egg to that and you have mayo.
They live hand to mouth.
And they'll stay there if they can't save up any money.
Besides the temperature differential that everyone else mentioned, there's also sometimes the need to defrost the outside bits, which means running the heat pump in reverse and undoing a bit of the heating it already did.
It requires a certain amount of flexibility. Some are born with it, others have to work for it.
I would actually interpret "naive" in this context as making very strong assumptions. In particular, a strong assumption of independence between variables that likely doesn't hold, but is good enough for many purposes.
