  • Why do we hate commercials and advertisements?
  • I had a shower thought the other day; what would the world be like if advertising didn't exist?

    No billboards or giant signs everywhere blocking our views. Content would be better because it wouldn't be interrupted by commercials. But think of how much money is spent on advertising? Companies would have to invest that into other areas to be successful instead, such as cheaper and/or better quality products, or higher wages for their workers. Companies would have to work really hard to get a good reputation so their products could spread through word of mouth instead of using advertising to invade everyone's space.

    I'm sure there's some downsides, but it sounds kind of amazing.

  • Student loan debt may prevent retirement security for millions of older workers, research finds
  • I got an associates degree from a community college and worked part time to pay it off while I was attending. Got a job before I even graduated and no debt. I don't feel like I did anything exceptional or amazing to avoid the student-debt trap.

  • Innovation makes useful things smaller - overconsumption makes them bigger and more meaningless

  • Hacked data reveals which US gun sellers are behind Mexican cartel violence
  • From 2006-2011 agents in Arizona stood down as straw purchasers illegally bought 2,000 guns at shops, intending to use the information to track trafficking patterns and arrest the kingpins. However, agents didn’t deliver the high-level arrests – and in the process, they lost track of hundreds of guns.

    This is the shit I think of when I'm paying my taxes.
