What would we do when we ran out of blind people?

Man I would kill for some direction from my "architects", even if it were a bit wrong. I'm at the point that I can't even get them to review my architectural diagrams demanded by my company to guide me on what's expected.

If you're in the new world (the Americas) house cats are an invasive species that, when let to roam outside, harm the native small animal population. Cats shouldn't be left outside to roam free in this situation.

Some peopledo things acknowledging that there may be backlash for an action when they feel it's the right thing to do.

Snowden being an extreme example, I feel really sorry for what happened to him but he really did the right thing.

Dang that way of helping folks fix their problems without loosing face is such a cool approach!

Depending on how many levels of indirection there are (i.e. how many formulas reference other cells/the results of other formulas in other cells) I've found that using "trace precedents" and "trace dependents" in the formulas tabe to be helpful.

You're describing what a well designed tax system should be doing. Philanthropy is just the rich convincing us that things are fine, and we shouldn't worry that billionaires exist.


A tax system takes the amount required to fund society to the equality level desired.

In anything less than a fully-equalizing society, philanthropy still has a place.

(Said as someone who thinks higher wealth brackets, including my own, should be taxed more heavily)


I guess the Nordic societies have to really equal then, because I can't remember ever even hearing of anyone donating anything to a single school. Like.. there's nothing in the system for a school to even be prepared to even own a donation. A school over there doesn't manage a financial fund, it runs on an annual municipal budget. It's all tax money.

The parent commenter put it well, philanthropy is just the rich convincing [America] that things are fine.


Could be simpler than that even as several garage door openers have a simple hard line switch that you could hook into with some cable splicing.


For all managers and all staff beyond entry level!
