People commit theft because the barriers / consequences of theft to obtain an item or less than the barriers/consequences of legitimate purchase. It's always a supply and availability issue. Humans aren't intrinsically evil. Also there aren't a bunch of programs to provide free baby supplies. Even WIC requires application but some people might not have the time or ability to go to. And it's not free with WIC, you still have to pay.

Also if you want to talk philosophy, children are too young to consent and be beholden to the social contract. They're participation is mandatory because they are innocent and dependent. It's our obligation to provide for them collectively.

Read The birth dearth or listen to the video by Jane Elliot.

It's racism.

In their eyes, Minorities tend to be poor and couldn't access abortions if they were legal, but white women? They can. And they want white babies, to increase the white population. But those pesky white women can afford abortions.

A lot of people don't know how industrial scale power contracts work.

Your pissant $150 light bill isn't worth wiping their corporate asses with. If you are without power for a week they don't care. You can't cancel your subscription, you just have to choke on it.

But factories? They buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of power. They use an order of magnitude more electricity than your house. In fact, during a rolling black out they could keep every home in the city powered by shutting off just one factory. The problem is corporations have contracts that actually charge the power company by the hour if they lose power. my company charges over a million dollars an hour.

So buying some mine out of his contract for a little while is not unheard of. Tesla is on that grid so I promise it cost less to shut the miner off than to drop Tesla for a day.

Chemistry knowledge! Sweet tea is actually a supersaturated solution. That means there more sugar in the water than could normally be held in suspension. This is achieved by heating the water so you can dissolve more solute in and then chilling it. Remember theres at least 2 diabetes worth of sugar per glass.

I had an htc one that could transmit IR signals meaning you could mess with TVs and other simple wireless electronics. You could also use the headphone wire as an actual radio antenna.

I would say less "left leaning" and more anti-capitalist / anti fascist. More socialism less Nazis.

This statement is misrepresenting us disorganized gays. I don't have an agenda, I'm late to everything!

Eh, I smoked for years and switched to vaping. It's by no means healthy but it is better if you do it moderately. Don't burn your lungs to make "hella clouds bro" and buy a quality vape made from metal and cotton instead of burning plastic.

As for the coughing but there's an irony there. Nicotine numbs the cilia in the lungs but it's short acting in that capacity. The tar from a cig would trap that nicotine and prevent irritation... Until the next morning when your body processed it out. That's why smokers hack in the morning was a thing.

You can still find those answers without giving Reddit any ad revenue. All you have to do is take the link from Google copy it. Go up to the URL bar and type cache: and the link.

You used to be able to open the hamburger menu next to Google search results and directly view a cached page. This is doing the same thing, Google just took away the button.
