  209. I lived in NYC most of my life, and had family who lived in California and Detroit. I'll give some pros and cons that should apply to any major city: Pros: - Everything from food to services is provided. No such thing as "we do't have that here". - Don't need a car. Public transportation exist in one form or another. - Technology comes fastest in cities, especially revolutionary ones like the internet, cell phone service, etc. So robots will be here first likely too. - Open 24/7. Everything is available, always. - Dating life is extremely easy. So many options of every kind. In some places you can literally date a different person every week and die before you every date the same person twice. - You're never bored. Poor or rich, night or day. there's always something. - If you can stay rich in a city, chances are you''ll stay rich forever. As long as people come to the city, your investments pay off and quickly. Cons: - Crime is at it's worst. No matter the state, if it's a city it has crime in it's outskirts. - Poverty is everywhere. Homeless and rundown towns bring everything down, from real estate to personal feelings of accomplishment. - No middle class. You're either rich living inside the city, or you're poor trying to survive in it. The middle class live outside the city. Hence, biggest reason millennial are fleeing them. - Terrible place to raise a family. As I said, no middle class. And this is where most families start or end up at. Schools are very overcrowded too. And often dangerous. - Cost of living is extremely high. Rent is very competitive so it's always extremely high. Taxes are at it's highest. - Traffic and car accidents. Your insurance will be high, the roads are constantly in repair, and your drive anywhere will never be quick. And parking is either expensive or doesn't exist. - No real nature. The atmosphere is filled with smog, sky at night is a reddish black. A lot of noise pollution with police sirens or crazy neighbors. There's more pro and cons I could add but they either overlap or are more personal or location specific. Like in San Diego the homeless thing is more a problem there, or Detroit where the city has been slowly collapsing since the 1970's from lack of jobs and corruption. The issues I listed can be found in EVERY major city, even outside the United States (I been to a few). That said, as you can see the issues are much smaller if you're single and/or rich. But the average person isn't rich, and if they are holding a job they are not single if not won't be forever. Once you start thinking about a family the city seems more and more horrible. If you were a kid raised in a city you can probably attest it wasn't too good. You can't do any of the things you see on TV; everything from playing on the green grass in the yard to flying your drone around town is impossible to do in big cities (city laws may vary). Now being single is very fun. You get the rush of dating life, you probably make some decent money, and you have every type of entertainment you like. From food, to drugs, and even sex it's all there. Technology is rampant and ever evolving. In the best cities you might even be able to see things like robots in a hotel or something. And cities will always have the top technology. Though the cost of living is high, you never need a car anyhow. Add this to everything being open 24/7 and it feels like everything you can ever want in life is always at your fingertips. If you're poor the government will give you everything, if you're a a fresh young adult you'll always find something to appeal to you personally, and if you're rich you'll never run out of things to invest in. As the middle class average American it is hell. You cannot raise a family in a city. The crime and gangs will make you never feel safe. Your kids will go to schools that are overcrowded, underfunded, and have metal detectors to enter them. As they get older gangs will see more apparent, because they're recruiting from schools. Even the most good kid will feel scared in such an environment hearing street sirens and seeing fights happen.They'll be constantly reminded of their race, wealth, or lack of it. Always wanting to do things on TV like flying kites outside or racing boats in the lake, but never getting too. and if you're poor in a city, you'll stay poor, or worst become homeless. There is no upward mobility. People who grow up and get money often leave for a better quality of life. TL;DR If you're middle class at all don't move to the big cities. It's a horrible place to raise a family. That whole "American Dream" thing cannot exist in such a place. If you're upper class or lower class move to a big city. You'll find or create jobs, government policies aid you, and everything you'll need will be provided one way or another.

  253. I'm a veteran. EASED very recently. Here's my short answer: Yes if: - You have a bad degree - You're trapped in the ghetto - With abusive parents No if: - You have a good degree - You already have a 60k+ job Long answer: Only join the military as an officer. As enlisted it's not worth it. You get to do the hardest work but get paid the least. Officers make about 2.5x more than an enlisted person. For example, a E-1 makes at max $1,514 per month, where as an commissioned officer makes $3,287 per month. As an officer you also don't have to participate in group punishments or any of the other random bad things that happen to you just because you're a lower rank. The absolute only reason to join as enlisted is if you come from a desperate situation. For example, I was in the "hood", my mom stole my college money, and constantly mentally abused me; she was setting me up for failure, and I had no way to stop her. I joined the military to escape that life. If that sounds like you, then do it. The Post 9/11 GI bill is not worth it as much anymore. They took away room and board payments, so now you only get the BAH, which is basically rent + food money, with a bit left over. It's helpful, but you will still need FASFA/ Student loans, especially if you're like most military guys and you get married some point. Worst is it only last for about 3 years, which is too short if you're starting with little to no college. Meaning you inevitably will be taking student loans anyway. Add on all the back pain, knee pain, etc and it can get bad. Disabilities is nice but not worth the pain your body goes through, you'll feel like you're 50 by time you're 30. And they cut corners on the pay, it's very hard to get even 30% unless you were in a cast at least. Just no matte if you enlist or go officer, whatever you do DO NOT GO INFANTRY. You will regret it, trust me. These people get treated the worst BY FAR in the military in any branch. Get yourself a nice comfy office job that transitions well into civilian life like Intel or fiscal, namely try and get a job that requires some level of security clearance. They go a very long way whether you EAS or do a whole 30 years. Bonus: Branches from worst to best. Marine Corp (worst lifestyle, best respect). Navy (No respect, terribly treatment) Army ( Great respect, very good quality of life) Air Force (Best quality of life, decent respect) Basically, just go Air Force. A bit harder to get into but trust me the wait is worth it. In some places they even have maids clean your rooms in the Air Force. If anything don't go Marine Corp or Navy, especially the former. They have the lowest budget. One place I lived was in a condemned building with black mold in the bathroom. For the love of all that is holy don't join the Marine Corp or Navy.

  379.  @domdabomb98  If you check out this guy's videos, he has one ranking the degrees. Anything "A" ranked or "S" ranked will land you a 50k+ entry level job. Some suggestions I personally like are: Computer Science - The second degree I'm currently getting. It's an Engineering degree based on coding and algorithmic problem solving. Average entry level salary is $78k. Usually hits 100k either starting out with big tech or doing multiple projects. Not to mention freelance work. Accounting - Basically civilian fiscal and comptrolling. Salary differs widly. It's $45k starting salary but I heard $55k from others. The big money comes with your CPA (which I highly recommend). That's where you reach $100k+ working at the Big 4 investment firms. Electrical Engineering - Basically, you build abd design machinez, like Computers and Drones. Average starting salary is $65k+. It will break the $100k+ barrier after 5-10 years of experience too. It's a for people who like to crunch numbers, but still see their projects too. Basically, all degrees that are "notorious" for making great money and have great job security. Rule of thumb: if it requires Calculus 2 or higher, it's a decent degree. That said, I can't emphasize this enough: stay away from the Liberal Arts and most Business degrees. They are saturated, generic, and most people who graduate end up with a common $27k-$37k job. It's a reason why 2 degrees working at Starbucks is a common saying. As for additional schooling. I reccomend Medicine. Nursing and Doctors are always in demand and very worth the debt. I once thought about Medicine and recieved a scholorship offer if I attended. Starting salary varies a lotfor obvious reasons. . But don't do Law school. It's saturated. People who did a Liberal Arts degree then found out how bad it is began rebounding into law school in the mid 2000s. Most old lawyers don't retire, so young lawyers are often overworked snd underpaid the first 10 years. Starting salary is $45k working 60 hours a week. My brother is a lawyer, he hates it. The only exception to all of this is if you're coming from a prestigious school like Harvard or Yale because prestige, or if you have really good connections. Overall, again I reccomend doing research. Lookup "worthless degrees" anywhere and it'll begin to paint a pucture for you. Start with this guy's channel, he goes deep and explains why they're worthless. If I discovered him when I first started I'd stuck in STEM and would've had a great job. Sorry for the long explanation. Just looking put for a fellow vet. Let me know if you have any questions.

  381.  @domdabomb98  It's difficult to say the least. You'll find a job in it for certain, but the pay won't be too good imo, at least early on. If you have a passion in it though, consider going for your Doctorate. I think he did a video ranking Doctorate degrees. Geology, this is one that the degree alone won't get you far. It's a great skill and a rare one, just not highly sought after. I mean it is just...not in the entry level sort of way. You gotta wait till a gen-x retires for one of thise sweet gigs lol. Location and your college's connections with scientific internships will be the biggest deciding factor for your future. Like if your college is in Hawaii, they can probably use a Geologist; but if in a city like NYCU, you're getting hit with both competition and lack of availability. Environmentalism is more broad and general. It's great if you're working abroad, as 3rd world and some second world countries like parts of India and Arabia have massive environmental issues; but not so much in the United States. The US has issues but ever since the 90s most of them are already being solved through green Earth projects. Not saying you won't find work, just what exactly does an "environmentalist" do that isn't mostly covered by charities and other fields like Chemistry. Like I said, it's a very general and broad field. It really depends on what you would do as an environmentalist. For the record: If I had to choose one, it'd be Geology. It's less general. With a degree you want to be a "specialist". Something when you mention a degree, you can instantly connect to a job. And when I think of environmentalists at best I imagine Park Ranger or Green Earth awareness team leader. Though I don't know much about Geologists either. So take my opinion with a pinch of salt. This is one a bit outside my own research. But that's my best guesses. Don't let my opinion discourage you. I'm more of a futurist. I look for high paying jobs to get the best investments. Money, so I can change the world. It's really up to you what you want, and more importantly why you want it.

  408.  @jonathonfowkes185  I actually addressed most of this earlier, but I'm interested in the strain on nature vs. nurture you slightly weaved in there. As such, I'll attempt to adress this from your very well put points. My philosophy isn't flawed, it is simply not perfect. It cannot be. In other words, my philosophy is designed by nature to be flawed, because it is designed on the evolution of an individual, who themselves are flawed. To summarize, my philosophy isn't based on morality, it is based in power. Power is subjective, especially in relation to the individual. That said, if the individual doesn't obtain a pinnacle of power, they will no longer be able to dictate morality. But the pinnacles of power cannot escape time, the hand of power always changes. The objective is to obtain as much power as possible to obtain the most control. The more control you have the less others have. This is not to say another can't rise up, if anything they should, and will. It is inevitable. This also extends to other social groups. In one group you may be powerful, but in another not as much. But it is better to be powerfu somewhere, than nowhere at all. On a more macro level this is seen constantly through history. The United States despite its name was built on power. In every instance of its evolution it was built on the subjugation of it's weak conquered by the powerful. That's how it is and always will be. Certainly, this is by a society's unity. You'd be right to argue that. But in that society there is always people more powerful than others, those with more influence. A military is a powerful unit, but the higher you go up the chain of command the less people there are, but the more powerful that individual becomes. Nature always finds a way. Morality doesn't conquer nature. It is still always there, just muddled in the intricacies of humans. In the end, the most powerful still have the highest chance of survival. Thus, the most powerful has the highest chance of passing on their genes. Albeit to do so, without an objective to escalate power, would be controversial to my philosophy. Overall, the reason morality in society doesn't matter is because on a micro view morality has no power, and power dictates morality. Power fades as it expands, which is why as a society morality appears to be dominant. But the more you zoom in to any social group the more you find there are branches of power in it. A nation cannot be seen as good or evil no more than an individual can. Because good and evil are not moralites, they simply are right and wrong. Something is only right or wrong if it is beneficial or not. If someone does something you don't like, that you find contradictory, it then becomes wrong. But in the end none of that matters. What matters most is if you have the strength and will to correct the contradiction. This is power. That is my philosophy and why morality as a whole doesn't matter. Because morality can change, what is seen as right and wrong can change; but the fundamentals of power never changes. Morality is to society just an illusion is a control; where as power is what gives the tool it's purpose, it is the fuel that turns will into reality. Because as I stated earlier, power is the method of control.

  409.  @jonathonfowkes185  The fence can serve its purpose without the paint, but the paint can't serve it's purpose without the fence. Thus, it is better to have a stronger fence, than stronger paint. It is better to have stronger power, than stronger morality. If you zoom out then of couse my philosophy doesn't work. As I said, my philosophy is not meant for the group it's meant for the individual. The further you spread the power the less control you likely can maintain control; and as I said, power is control. If too many people follow my philosophy the world flows into chaos. It would indeed make a terrible circumstance for the individual (unless it is want they want) . You are correct in this. It is for this reason my philosophy has to only be followed by the individual, not the group. For example, I relish in chaos. I like it, it's entertaining. So for me my philosophy is a win win. I either become a powerful individual or the world becomes my image. But this is my vision. Any other individual will have to craft their own. Either way they'll need the power to do it. So my philosophy still stands. The goal is for the individual to take advantage of those based in morality, to exploit it's weaknesses. By doing so the individual gains power. Basically, the individual manipulates the group from the outside not the inside. As I mentioned before, power is to control; morality is the result of those controls. If you can control the perceptions of others, you have the power to control morality. Take the Stanley Milgram experiment. It shows that people are more willing to do something against their morality when enticed by one with power. This even extends to the individuals with power if you consider the Stanford prison experiment which followed Milgram's footsteps. Point being, when you have power morality doesn't matter. You are morality. You'll do what you believe is best. Everyone's a hero in their own story; and when a hero has power, what do they do? They justify their actions for the greater good. It doesn't matter if nobody else sees them as a hero, as long as they continue to believe they are the hero. So a hero with power is simply a better "hero". To answer your questions: - Because I have no reason to care as much for the existence of others. Unless they benefit my existence they are useless to me. Certainly everyone benefits my existence, but I can't control everyone, so I only control the best ones. - Survival isn't important, not to me. I was just reflecting on the "survival of the fittest" motif you hinted at in regards to how morality aids in the survival of the whole. I argued how individuality can do the same. Overall, I believe power is greater than survival l; as in a life isn't worth living with insufficient power, such as a slavery or poverty. But that is a whole other topic and is a more personal mindset than actual philosophy. - I don't know if I understand the last question. Best I can say is, it is because human processes are harder to control. It is easier to control the world around the human so they process things different, than to augment their perception. The legitimates of cause and effect are far more predictable than a human who justifies their mortality situation by situation. So it is better to control the situation.

  410.  @jonathonfowkes185   The hunger of control is everyone's weakness. Parents are sick? You send them to the hospital to control their death. Want kids to behave? We lie to them and tell them Santa Clause is real, and only rewards them if they are "good". Justify it any way you want, we all hunger for control. The only difference is I'm not a picky eater. Your math has a lot of flaws. You cannot measure morality or immorality. Even then how would you quantify that? Especially considering there's no way to do it without bias, considering morality is subjective. In the end it all dumbs down to power. (Zmoral/Zimmoral) is just a battle of power. Your fraction is fixed without any justification. Either could be the numerator or denominator. And even then, your assuming a fixed value that somehow immorality is always less than morality. Which again, you can't ever identify which is which, as morality and immorality is subjective. Either case, you're looking at it wrong. It's not about winning something. Where the self-sacrificing needs to fight and help, the self-serving only needs to dictate. The self-serving benefits off the self-sacrificing. Because no matter what the self-sacrificing is there to....well self-sacrifice. To put it in math: S= Self-serving P= Self-sacrificing S= P +/- ∞ Basically, as long as there is someone willing to sacrifice themselves, the self-serving wins. And there is always someone willing to sacrifice themselves. As I stated earlier, the individual doesn't work within society, they work around it. The individual is not in your equation, they are the equation. Overall, I feel we're both overthinking it a bit. The world isn't black and white. I can't quantify power no more than you can measure morality. But I can justify power. I cannot find existence in morality. Power can forge a world made by you, that expands as it grows. But morality can only forge a world designed by others, as morality is simply the perception of others about you.

  411.  @jonathonfowkes185  No, I am not your kind of morality. You're insinuating I have to willingly contribute to the betterment of society to be considered moral. But what if someone is unwillingly contributing to society? What if rule A and B is just an occasional happenstance? I may not care for the betterment of society or other people, but it doesn't mean my actions don't often overlap in doing so. So while yes, I may not be moral, I'd say outside this comment section my illusion certainly would be, right? And if my illusion says I'm moral, then as long as other's believe in that illusion, I am. This is why I prefer thinking of morality as something ecclesiastical like good and evil, opposed to something much more nuanced like someone's perception on how a society works. Because I only care about the individual, not the whole. How the individual works and use society to their benefit is far more important than what society does of themselves. A person can work their way to power or cheat their way to power. Doesn't matter how they got there. All that matters is they did it. Rule A and B of your morality never apply. You are right then, it is my weakness, but a comfortable weakness. So the more I control the greater my weakness? High risk, high reward. It's how I prefer to live my life. Nobody got anywhere not risking anything. As I gain power and control more and more, I enjoy life more and more. Power makes me happy, and that's what matters most in the end. And right now, I'm very happy. Indeed, it is a parasitic nature. Use others, cheat, consume, and manipulate. Anything it takes to get power. Don't settle for anything less than your perfect world. It indeed would be hell for me if I ever found myself in a world outside of my control. A world like that is not my world. And that's the beauty of it. The mask. We all wear a mask. A wolf in sheep's clothing, among sheep who dye their wool. No, the moral do not have the advantage, not for the individual. As a whole, yes; but for the individual certainly not. The self-serving individual has the advantage because they can play both roles. They can play pretend, they can act moral, while subtly not being moral at all. Opposed to the moral who is limited by their morality. The individual is far more flexible, so it is easy to see the individual without morals have the advantage.

  416. If an environment improves, the taxes to maintain the environment improves. If taxes raise the mortgage/ rent worth is higher. For example, say a bad neighborhood gets a park built. That park was likely built by city taxes. Thus, the nearby owns now have to pay higher taxes to maintain it. If they don't then the park turns into a terrible place. If they do then the neighborhood improves at the cost of everyone. If they don't get the park then the neighborhood stays the same. Most bad neighborhoods tend to want nice things like clean streets, parks, policing, etc. So they get it. Thus the neighborhood improves. Leading to the homes being worth more, either by the bank or the owners. So two scenarios happen: The neighborhood rejects this plan and remains bad and cheap. Or they accept it and improve and gain value. If the latter you have gentrification. The people who raise their value along with the neighborhood's will grow in wealth. The ones that don't and remain the same will decline. If you decline the law of capitalism will expel you to a area of your means. The benefit and edge here is it happens slowly. You can either move before it happens, or after. You value either way. You can see it coming long before the effects become burdensome, no matter what your income is, home owner ir not. Either way, it HAS to happen. It's either that or reject it and remain terrible. A neighborhood cannot improve without investing months into it. And if it improves so does the value of everything in it. Want less drug dealers on the streets? That cost money? Less gangs? Money? Cleaner sidewalks? Money. Better schools? Money. Nothing comes for free. The only other solution outside government tax based aid is gated communities, which themselves cost money, it's why they're so expensive. Either way you have to invest in your neighborhood.

  478.  @Vic2point0  A disagreement of one person isn’t bad, but a collective is a powder keg. It shouldn’t be like that but it is. Simply put, it only takes one bad person to easily corrupt the bunch. Some don’t even do it with ill intentions. Most if the time they do it to fit in, and not stand out. “No LGBT people around the world, what is one little joke gonna hurt”, kind of mentality. This behavior very often grows. Again, not saying you’re like that; but people around their friends act way different than they do solo. Just a word of mindful wisdom. After all we are all human. Those laws are very transphobic. They’ve been created very clearly to target the transgender community. By your logic segregation was okay because “separate but equal”; yeah, see how bad that went. And honestly, controlling whether someone can wear slacks or a skirt is a very dumb law that serves no purpose. America is the land of free. These laws and bills are just separating people, when we should be working together to unite each other. If you were treated as less than American because of your gender you’d feel discriminated too, because that’s exactly what it is. That’s exactly the point. As I stated, you disagreeing alone is not a problem. When you get a collective of people who disagree about transgender people that’s when it becomes an issue, as those people spiral faster and deeper towards bigotry. It’s like levels. Take race for example, someone can be a 1 and be mildly uncomfortable around black people, a very mild racist; but you put a bunch of 1’s in a room and they quickly can become the KKK over time. That’s essentially where people like you are at. You’re a 1 (presumably), disagreeing about trans people, very mildly transphobic; but you put the lot of 1s like you in a room and the chances of radical transphobia increases rapidly. In the end as long as you can at least stop the worst transphobes that makes me comfortable. Someone saying slurs in public, trying to do something discriminatory in a bathroom, and especially regarding harassment or violence just be there for trans people. I think we can at least both agree that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. You don’t have to agree with trans way of life to a good citizen. I think as long as you can do at least that you don’t have to worry about being influenced by the bad people.

  481. I think they both have a point. Polygamy isn't for everyone. You have to be very confident, financially stable, and able to work well with others; three qualities very few people have, especially all at once. To consider polygamy means you first need to ensure you're married, and your current marriage itself is stable. Once you have that you have shown you have the confidence to take care of a spouse, the finance to ensure you can support each other, and the the teamwork to overcome marital problems. It's only after this would I consider polygamy. With that said I find polygamy is fine. Of the married polygamist families I met, the most successful ones mastered the key things that also make monogamous marriages work too. In truth, to manage a polygamist marriage requires the same skill set as a monogamous one. And int he end the children from those families come out just like any other kid. Most of them report it's like living with a aunts and a bunch of cousins. They all go to school, they all are raised well, and enter adulthood just as normal people. The only type polygamist that are universally disliked is the FLDS. This is because they don't make polygamy an option, it's forced. And if you are polygamist in their community you must adhere to their rules and only marry who they see fit. Most polygamist agree that their not really polygamist, that the FLDS is actually just a cult. I'm glad media is discussing polygamy and separating it from the FLDS. Because most polygamous families are nothing like them at all.

  546. Easiest solution to leave the friend zone, never enter it. Either make your move at the very first oprotunity ( like when you are alone and watching a movie, with friends but separated, etc), literally ask them on a date to get to know them better (make sure you literally say date as in D.A.T.E.), and my personal solution just simply cast a big net. I prefer casting a big net because having a girl as a friend isn't necessarily bad. When you cast a big net, then you have one girl as a friend, another girl as the girl you are dating every now and then, and then your main girl, plus any other girls you can juggle. Usually what ends up happening is your friend zone friend finds out, and when you are now chasing other girls they get upset and try to convince you to leave them; if you're a smart man you won't leave your other girls. This will either force her to lose you thus freeing you without any effort out of the friend zone or she has to confess her feelings to you which then you get the girl of your dreams plus you still have the other girls on the backboard if anything you can leave her anytime. It's a win win situation. Ultimately where guys fail at this is they settle for "it's good enough" and end up losing their edge. By the time they realize they are deep in the friend zone it is too late and it either requires heartbreak or looking like a doosh to get out of it, both of which can ruin your rep. This can apply for women too. Everyone is different but ultimately there are billions upon billions of people in the world, guaranteed at least a hundred will give you time of day for a single date. If the girl or guy you crush on isn't doing that, their loss. There's everything from the waitress/ bellboy down the street to the recent divorcee on the internet at your picking, you just have to get you head out of your ass to see it.

  571. The trick is simple. Eat more than what you pay. 1. SAMPLE YOUR FOOD. Only eat 1/2 of Anything you get. Don't worry about wasting food. I You're already eating there anyway, it's going to waste either way. 2. DON'T TOUCH ANY CARBS. These will fill you up super fast. Stay away from all breads and rice. 3. DON'T DRINK ANYTHING. If you don't eat carbs you get dehydrated less. Meats and the sauces covering them will fill this gap and keep your mouth naturally wet. If anything don't drink anything but water; and if you do, drink half the cup MAX! Overall, the less you drink the more you can eat. 4. Needless to say STAY AWAY FROM FRUIT AND VEGGIES . It's cheap and fills you up faster than anything they serve. If you eat veggies try to eat as little as possible. If you wanted to eat healthy you wouldn't be at an all you can eat buffet now would you. Bonus: A. EAT ONLY EXPENSIVE STUFF. Usually this is good food you'd normally pay more for like: steak, ribs, deviled eggs, baked fish, etc. Chinese places that serve sushi or have a station where they make food in front of you is always worth it. B. Again SAMPLE! SAMPLE!! SAMPLE!!! You don't have to always eat expensive food but you do need to eat. Waste the food. Don't feel no shame. You're eating at a buffet where they'll throw away all the not eaten food by midnight anyway. You have NO OBLIGATION to eat everything on your plate. My general rule of thumb is take 2-3 bites of everything on my plate and move on. Example: 2 bites of a chicken leg, 2 spoons of peas, 1/3 of a steak I was sliced, 2 fork servings of scrambled egg, and 1 strip of bacon. What most people do wrong is: Eat half a plate of rice and broccoli. 1 serving of their choice meat. Rest once more. Then dessert if posdible. Add an entire cup of soda or juice you it's no wonder they get full so quick. Do my method and you'll profit give without blowing your guts. I pay about $13-$18 bit eat about $30+. Not that I eat much I just don't clear my plate and I eat smart.

  612. Because they can be. They have a monopoly on education. Think about it. Where else can you go to get a degree for a job? Apprenticeships haven't happened since the 70s. Long gone are the days where you can start at the bottom and end up near the top by gritting it through. Not saying promotions don't happen, but going from 20k-40k in 20 years is a poor investment in time for money. So now you only have college. Google isn't going to train you in coding. The CEO of Wells Fargo isn't going to train his tellers in Accounting. Why do that when colleges can do it and it costs him nothing. The only person that loses in the student who has to take out the loans to get the job. And if they don't, there's others who will. So with this knowledge schools can inflate the price as high as they want. They then use the extra money to force you to pay more money later. They are investing in themselves, then using the capital to line their pockets. And what other choice do you have? Unless you want to go blue collar you have no choice. And nothing wrong with blue collar jobs, the trades pay well; but not everyone is built for trades. But colleges are the gatekeepers to white collar jobs. They have the stranglehold on the education system. Heck, colleges even pay lobbiest to shot down alternatives. In short, colleges are the biggest legal scheme in the world. They have pockets in politics and the Board of Education are in on it. It's so big, our country now runs a lot of resources on student debt. And worst of all, there is no solution in sight.

  633. - Most of 2020 wasn't due to Covid-19. It was due to the government man handling businesses and forcing closings. - Colleges won't become cheaper. They have no reason to. My whole semester been the same price online, don't be fooled. - The virus as the video said, wasn't bad at all for most people. About 99% of people. Ranging from a really b'ad flu to not having symptoms at all. But now we're going to panic over every little new disease that comes out in the future. Either from paranoia or because we literally did the last 10 months. So "Covid" syndrome will not be going away for long. - A LOT of government policies have been sent under the radar that limit the people's control. Not to mention all the small businesses that now the big businesses don't have for competition. Creating tons of pseudo monopolies. Prepare to hear about meaningless million dollar lawsuits by billion dollar companies in late 2021. - Oh and we now have a huge movement of political seats as the president and his cabinets play music chairs. Then and only after they settle in can we clean up all the collateral damage, which will take 2 years from now AT BEST. - What kills it is there is something looming. There is ALWAYS something. It's always war, disease, or the market crashes. Problem is this time it was in a age of media the last decade. And the world noticed. We now know we can't handle anything. Something inevitably happens and someone more rich and powerful than us tells us what to do. We know nothing, we just follow.

  931. The paradox is quite simple really. If you have an infinite hotel with full rooms, simply give anyone any room. See the problem with this paradox is it crosses dimensions. In math we see that room number is set but the rooms are not. It's like trying to fill air with an infinite amount of space, in a full tank. The tank will always be full but that doesn't mean you can't add to it. Best way I can describe it is like an idea. The mind is not made by what you know but rather what you don't. There is no limit because the limit is unknown there it is limitless however it is always full because what you currently know is what you know but it is always able to know more than it already does. Thus, the mind knows everything that's presented. It's not so much as a concept of relativity but rather irrelitivity. Think the opposite of time, something standing still but always in motion, only when it is not observed does it move. Because when it is not observed it is not relative. In turn, the hotel paradox is not something you can solve with math. It's not a fixed set to begin with. To solve it you simply have to disassociate the paradox with numbers a bit. You must know that infinite runs in two directions. It is what is, ever was, and ever will be, it does not have a beginning or an end, it just is. To acknowledge this think of the law of matter, it can neither be created or destroyed. Matter only changes it's form but it's form cannot change without being acted upon. In the end it is always matter,the same but different. It is everything and nothing. It changes not necessarily based on time but in the actions against it that make time what it is. A ice cube does not melt over 10 minutes because it is hot but rather the matter around it causing change to another matter. When observed compared to other objects it seems that over time change occurred but rather changes occurring causes time because time is something created to measure change. This is what infinity is, everything.

  964. What sucks is the G.I. Bill doesn't cover enough. The original concept behind th eGI bill was full-time college without the need of a job or further aid. But now even with the G.I. Bill I need loans and such to get by. This is because recently they took paid room and board out of the G.I. Bill. So no more on campus living, which means you have to buy a place out in town. Which is money out of the G.I. bill. But most renters don't rent to you if you don't have a job, because the G.I. Bill is non taxable income, so they can't count it for your credit. Meaning you have to get a job anyway, just so you can rent a place. So now you have a job you don't need in a place outside your campus. Bonus crap points if you now need a car because you couldn't find a place close enough to the college. Not saying that the G.I. bill is bad, just the fact they removed the paid Room and Board from it is astonishing. We decided to stay near her parents who was in a town near the college I was accepted to. I was planning on having my wife and daughter live at home with her parents while I was on campus a hour away. I'd visit on the weekends and use the time at school to focus on studies. This would've saved us on rent cost, babysitting cost, etc. Instead we had to find a place near campus, which is cramped and a bit overpriced. My wife had to quit her job to watch the kids because it was cheaper than babysitting cost. And now I'll be roughly $20,000 in student debt due to all the extra expenses that came with it over the years. Edit: If it's any revenge I switched my college from a community college to an expensive as hell university. So the government now has to pay more for not giving me a bit extra for that Room and Board.
