I wouldn't expect the economics of private jets to work out either, and yet...

If you had a talk show called the [Your Name] show, should it be immune to bankruptcy courts? Should a the company [Your Name] Inc. not be allowed to be bought and sold? Should we forbid people from selling tshirts or pictures with their names and faces on them? Where do you think we should draw the line?

The same precedent applies to ordinary people too. Should a debt collector acquire your Facebook page? Because you used Facebook marketplace it’s now a business asset?

Most people don't own a business. The occasional use of facebook marketplace doesn't make a personal account part of a nonexistant business.

At some point you just aren't voting for people who don't represent you and your beliefs, which is kind of what democracy is all about.

I may not be good at giving it a number, but I can usually see how far apart two things are.

It's hard to say for sure, but China’s record carbon emissions expected to peak due to clean energy push, report says so I sincerely hope their yearly CO2 emissions start going down soon.

They still have less total emissions than the US and EU, but I doubt it'll stay that way for long.

remove the arbitrary cap on House reps.

proportional representation

I thought you were conflating these two. If not, then I have no idea what you were talking about when you said

I think thats what they meant?

Youtube says there are only 441 videos in the complete series, I'm sure you'll find your cousin eventually.

Although it is weird, wikipedia and archive.org are telling me there should only be 65.

Do online multiplayer video games count as a commercial use? I kind of like those

Personally, I'm not really excited for any of these. But I have enough of a backlog as it is, so maybe that's a good thing.

We already have at least a century of research telling us that burning fossil fuels leads to climate change. What's AI going to do at this point?

It wasn't me that said that, and that's not what they said.

Edit: I should really refresh the page if I'm going to spend so long reading the sources.

Addiction Disorders: The relationship between addiction and homelessness is complex and controversial. While rates of alcohol and drug abuse are disproportionately high among the homeless population, the increase in homelessness over the past two decades cannot be explained by addiction alone. Many people who are addicted to alcohol and drugs never become homeless, but people who are poor and addicted are clearly at increased risk of homelessness. Addiction does increase the risk of displacement for the precariously housed; in the absence of appropriate treatment, it may doom one's chances of getting housing once on the streets. Homeless people often face insurmountable barriers to obtaining health care, including addictive disorder treatment services and recovery supports. Source

It is believed that only about 20 to 40 percent of homeless have a substance abuse issue. In fact, abuse is rarely the sole cause of homelessness and more often is a response to it because living on the street puts the person in frequent contact with users and dealers.

The prevalence of mental illness and substance use among those experiencing homelessness is clear, but Kushel cautions that the vast majority of mental illness among the study participants is anxiety and depression. It’s likely the lack of resources exacerbates those conditions, rather than the illness causing the homelessness, she says.

“I think that the driving issue is clearly the deep poverty, that the median [monthly] household income for everyone in the household in the six months before homelessness was $960, in a state with the highest housing costs in the country,” she says. Other studies have noted that the end of pandemic stimulus payments and rising inflation has led to rents outpacing wages. The study notes that in 2023, California had only 24 units of affordable housing available for every 100 extremely low-income households.Source

Just because you know one or two people that were homeless and also had problems with addiction, doesn't mean the addiction caused their homelessness.
