The busses don’t take metro card? I’ve only ever ridden the subway in NYC.
Whenever I go to Aldi (US) there’s usually at least a couple carts with quarters left in the parking lot so I just put them back. The quarters pile up in my car until I eventually bring them inside.
Could you please elaborate on the claim that loans are essentially required for modern life in the US? You might be able to make the argument for a mortgage but even that is not absolutely required. Possibly student loans could be seen as required but those are largely government subsidized/administered and typically given out to younger people who haven’t yet gone through a bankruptcy.

These aren’t exactly hidden gems but I’ll mention them since I enjoy them.
PhilosophyTube is excellent at putting currently relevant events/topics into historical and philosophical context.
Any show/podcast with Alice Caldwell-Kelly is always entertaining including Trashfuture and Well there’s your problem.
2·9 months agoI don’t think the term media literacy was used but we did learn literary criticism and how to formulate arguments in formal debate. We covered The Onion and adbusters, and we talked about identifying bias. In history class we learned the difference between primary and secondary sources and my history teacher was the first person I ever heard say "follow the money " to understand a person’s motivations. We also had a theory of knowledge class which taught some basics of philosophy.
Good points, I just wanted to mention another database that is useful for finding information about supplements based on actual research studies. Unfortunately it’s subscription based but some Universities and Libraries can provide access.
101·10 months agoYou make a good point that people who believe these conspiracies often have an underlying reason making them want to believe. Dan Olson came to the same conclusion in his video about flat earthers which I would recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
“Flat Earthers are not otherwise-empty vessels who believe one kooky thing. They believe that thing because it suits their purposes. […] it says something they already believe about the nature of the social world. Flat Earth is a thing people want to believe because if it were true it would be irrefutable proof of everything else they believe.”

As for the soy thing, Hbomerguy covered the topic pretty thoroughly.
252·10 months agoIs the purpose of these subsidies to maintain oil and gas infrastructure so that the military can also use it?
If the infrastructure is necessary for defense but not necessary for civilian use then it sounds like it should be paid for via tax, be maintained by the government, and counted as defense spending.
This would increase the military’s fuel cost (to the true cost) and higher gas prices brought about by ending the subsidies would incentivize lower carbon transportation methods for civilians.
They ASK overworked people to do this for FREE. Not the duplicating part though, that would be very expensive in most cases and require its own funding.
