  • It’s not the anti-vaxxers’ fault, it’s the schools’ fault for not educating

    Is what you just laid out as an example of the wrong way to approach this. It’s OK if you replace “school” with “society”, then we have the correct answer?

    My point was, you cannot meaningfully “fix” the problem unless you correctly identify the cause (“blame” in this case). Agreed, in a complex system, the likelihood that one action, person, or group is fully to blame is unlikely.

    But your comment reads as “don’t identify the cause, get to the fix” and that’s gibberish.







  • Here’s where it feels like pantomime - the comment above you says this

    The 2020 election cycle saw $5.7 billion in political spending on the presidency, and $8.7 billion in the congressional races.

    Princeton showed policy decision is basically made by wealthy donors. The wealthy are holding the levers by which they WOULD be taxed additionally and are not currently. Polls are virtue signaling, call me when the tax code changes.








  • Guessing, but just what it sounds like - a martial arts training gym. Generally, they are low revenue businesses, relegated to subleasing from other athletic gyms (like gynmastics facilities), out of community recreation centers, or in industrial warehouse areas. Sometimes you’ll find them in strip malls, as well.

    Theoretically, vacancies put pressure on mall owners to lower rents, perhaps to an affordable level for these dojos. Lowering rent also makes the mall less valuable than a vacancy. And owners don’t like lowering value if they can afford it, because they can leverage existing values.
