<p>Does insider trading still routinely happen? YES.<p>Do athletes, refs, coaches still throw games? YES.<p>Your argument is that regulation would fix both, and my argument is that regulation has not fixed either. Wall Street is just as shady not with regulation as it was in the 1930’s without. The only major difference now is that the IRS is able to track and tax smaller entities easier.</p>

<p>CA has the 2nd highest electricity cost in the country. No where in the article do they mention cost savings, nor end-to-end carbon footprint savings.<p>This appears to be nothing more than a gimmick under the disguise of “green” that does nothing but waste CA tax payer money.<p>It’s all so tiring..</p>

<p>Wall Street is heavily regulated, and yet both of your examples still occur.<p>This happens in sports betting as well, which is also regulated.<p>Neither of your examples show a material change or resolution due to regulation. The only result would be increased bureaucracy and decreased technology advancement.</p>

<p>Outside of mentioning that kids go to school and there was a birthday, personal life isn’t discussed.
The article is about manual labor required to live on the island. While 3 woman are introduced, the article mainly revolved around fishing, carrying heavy material long distances, and livestock which is man dominated in every country around the world.<p>Very likely the woman are caring for the heavy burden and labors required to upkeep their own homestead which deserves an article itself, but obviously outside of the point of this article.</p>

<p>No, 100% would be equal to paying someone 50% of market rate. If market is $100k and someone was paid $80k, you could say “paid 80% market rate” or “25% less than market rate” (since a 25% pay increase would bring them to market rate)</p>

<p>It’s a little amusing that you bring up the current admin, without saying anything about the Biden admin in which the article timeframe occurs or the Obama admin that created a lot of the havoc we have now in personal health care.<p>Unfortunately, the U.S. has never had the best doctors in the world (outside of cancer treatment). Japan and Russia for example have much better healthcare. However, it has certainly gotten worse now that hospitals are taking advantage of the visa system and bringing over doctors/nurses from other countries to increase their own bottom line.<p>The regular cost increases are due to immigration (no insurance), medical coding system, and govt subsidies.<p>You would have to blow up the system and restart to make it affordable, but then that also means millions of jobs gone overnight, a historic market crash, and then no one would want to work in that field as pay would have to be substantially lower.<p>You also can’t go down the free healthcare route based on the above, along with govt being horrible with everything it touches that we would have a $50 trillion debt in a few years time.</p>

<p>That would be up to the school.
After all, it does have a $1.4 billion dollar endowment. (ASU is not struggling at all)<p>Every university has to decide what is profitable and what is a loss leader. You have to be well rounded to attract students, but also make money.<p>In this case, the school decided that this studio had less benefit to them than reward. If this studio attracted more students (tuition $$) then it would be a benefit.<p>People are getting mad at the White House, but in reality the school decided that this studio wasn’t worth keeping.<p>Just trying to be rational here.</p>

<p>Again, this would be the Legislative branch. Your right to vote has not decreased, and you can absolutely contact your senator to introduce a bill for what you stated. I mean, you have a representative. Absolutely use them if you dislike something.<p>However, disagreeing with the Legislative or Executive branch in no way erodes your democratic rights.</p>

<p>That part is fairly easy to understand with a few google searches. Journalism programs are at a loss across the country and have been in decline for some time. When a university program is not profitable they close the program.<p>Low wages, less employment opportunity, and the decrease in interest of writing. Combine this with social media and the age of influencers - you suddenly have a huge decline across the board.<p>Journalism is not what you see on tv. Those are essentially actors and are the 1%. The rest are those writing in newspapers (in decline) and making barely livable wages with most on contract rather than salary. It’s an incredibly difficult line of work when it comes to wages and job security.</p>

<p>Political games like this guy is playing drive me crazy, and then people believe him and don’t do any research.<p>This guy has a U.S. green card. 
The letter from USCIS (immigration) is because he previously had a travel visa in his passport that is now invalid since he has a green card. He was claiming that he would protest the U.S. by entering on the visa rather than his green card - at the same time USCIS informed him that the visa was (correctly) being revoked (due to green card status)</p>
