Finland Is Successfully Fighting Homelessness, Which Is Now Reduced To 0.08% By Giving Homes For Those Who Need It

Please stop with the FUD. Only the top 5% income people get their tax rates up to 56%. And even so, that rate is applied only for the part of the income above 100k/year.

NY city has 50-100% more people than Finland. So why do they need to shelter so many people, if housing is even more affordable than in Finland? And are not drug and alcohol problems a normal cause for homelessness? What is this bad half of the picture you are referring to?

Are you implying Finland is not "a Western country"? Or why do you think the proposed answer and solution would not work in other Western (or any, for that matter) countries too?

Is that what you would do? Your friends, your family, your work colleagues! No? Then why do you assume that everyone else will? "I don't feel we should help people because there may be a few who don't deserve it." What a lame excuse, and it's getting old.

You have to make A LOT of money to have 56% tax. Last I worked there, I paid about 20%,which is totally fair since I got things like completely free University education up to masters, free health care...

Person Counts What Could Be Done With Billionaires' Money And It Gives You A Perspective On The Economy

*How* much do you pay in taxes? Bazillionaire to millionaire means at least 90% taxation. Assuming a bazillion is 10 million.

This. Say Bob has a gazillion dollars. Probably not keeping them in a Scrooge-McDuck-vault, but on a bank account. So that is 64 bits on a computer. Lets modify those, and do the corresponding bit modifications on Charity Inc.'s bank account. HOW exactly does those bit modifications now end world hunger? More bits were modified writing this post. I know I don't understand economics, I just wish someone could point me to the answer to this...

Person Counts What Could Be Done With Billionaires' Money And It Gives You A Perspective On The Economy

There's a logic error in the basic premise of the original Twitter thread. In order to support the modern economy, a great deal of capital (aka wealth) must be tied up in tangible goods -- buildings, equipment, property, infrastructure, etc. These are non-cash assets that cannot be converted into cash and used for the purposes that she claims. It's an interesting mental exercise, but it falls short of providing any value. It's also a fallacy to think that cash alone could end world hunger, eradicate disease or end homelessness. The problem with such weak arguments is that those who understand the economy, cash vs. non-cash assets, and production capability dismiss the argument out of hand and shut off the discussion.

300 billion to end world hunger? The US spent 2.2 TRILLION on a stimulus package and they couldn't even end hunger in one city.

I think Americans are BEGINNING to understand that their government is shafting them. In Europe we've had socialism and concepts of fairness NB that's socialism, not communism, I see that many in the US are not au fait with the difference. But to add to this many even there don't understand how badly they're shafted either. For example, the VAST majority of the money the UK Treasury draws in is from Income Tax from the lowest earners. Corporation Tax and other taxes on the rich draw in VERY little despite the ability for these to pay in much more. Things that ordinary people would call fraud and theft are simply called 'loopholes' by these groups and governments allow it because this is where their donations come from..

After Receiving Criticism, Teacher On TikTok Explains Why She Refuses To Give Her Students Homework

Junior high teacher here. If you look at her pictures, you might start to notice some thing… They're not traditional images of a classroom for a high school. That's because this article does not provide a key detail that took me about 30 seconds to find on the internet and I knew exactly what I would find when I got there because of my career experience: this teacher is a special education teacher. If this was a traditional classroom with core students or honor students for a required course for graduation and not a self-contained special education course, there probably would be no way that this teacher could get away with not having homework occasionally. I am a junior high teacher with 170 students and I do my best to not give my students homework. I never give busywork just to make my students do something. But what I can tell you is that the requirements for every single subject are so strict and so overwhelming that there is no way that we can get away with never having homework... especially at the high school level!!! The common core state standards just don't let that be a reality… Unless you're a special needs student who has accommodations.

14-Year-Old Girl Wins $25K For Finding A Possible COVID Cure

Woman Shares Product Prices In Her Area As A Response To Guilt-Tripping By Vegans

For evil to triumph, it suffices that good men do nothing. Problem is that what people perceive as evil. And how (if) they feel it should be fought. I find plain out telling people what they should or should not do usually is a pretty ineffective way of changing their behaviour.

Woman Shares Product Prices In Her Area As A Response To Guilt-Tripping By Vegans

Stop blaming all vegans. What is done to animals is cruel but any good vegan would be aware of food deserts and agree that what they do which is hunting is better then our current ways of animal farming they would also agree that even going as far as being vegetarian or eating a vegan meal every now and then is a great contribution to the cause as every little helps. You need to stop putting vegans into this box, genuinely animal farming is terrible we've seen the footage, we are educated about it and we want to stop the harm as much as possible in places with people who have the option to do good. Everyone seems to make a complaint about palm oil but in a ton of vegan products the palm oil is labeled sustainably grown and products with that have a lable on it. I haven't heard a solid argument against the vegan cause, we are in the modern western world if u have the option to make the place better, cause less harm why not do it? We are not here to blame or harm or discomfort anyone..

New AI Tells If A Person Is Perceived As 'Trustworthy' Based On Their Face And Some People Find It Problematic

Call me racist, but I agree. I can trust that he means good, but I just know that when the s**t hits the fan, he won't deliver. Weird how much our gut feel can tell.

New AI Tells If A Person Is Perceived As 'Trustworthy' Based On Their Face And Some People Find It Problematic

Early films were engineered to have a colour sensitivity that would be more suitable for pale skin. Racism? Or just a tell tail of systematic racism (whites being richer, and more likely customers of the film manufacturers). Is there a similar issue with facial detection algorithms? Is the initial sobel filtering to detect edges in a face the best way for feature extraction? Or just the best way the early researchers could think of (because again due to systemic racism, they probably stared at a pale face in the mirror every morning)? The problem everybody seems to have is to mix up "hatered based", systematic and "can't help my gut feeling" racism. They are three very different things.

New AI Tells If A Person Is Perceived As 'Trustworthy' Based On Their Face And Some People Find It Problematic

Maybe there weren't too many paintings of black people back then that could now be analyzed?

New AI Tells If A Person Is Perceived As 'Trustworthy' Based On Their Face And Some People Find It Problematic

Since this is trying to codify "perceived trustworthiness", I think your conclusion of "pseudo science" is both wrong and unnecessarily hateful. Also jumping to the a priori conclusion of real trustworthiness not being codifyable is a bit premature? Or how much work have you done in the field?

New AI Tells If A Person Is Perceived As 'Trustworthy' Based On Their Face And Some People Find It Problematic

"photoshopping" is not exactly a new thing. Painters are free to portray the person with subtly altered facial features - altered towards more or less trustworthy, depending on what was the vogue at the time. Another interesting angle is to figure out if there a bias for people with more or less trustworthy faces to make it up the social ladder to the point where they get immortalized in paintings in the first place.
