    Intelligent people leave a space of about two cars ahead of them on the freeway.

    Stupid people think that space must be for them.

    Vending machines work better when there's more foot traffic and more density.

    Vending machines with specialty goods (as pictured) need to be restocked every day and they require even more foot traffic. I think this is the biggest factor why OP's vending machine is not viable in a lot of places in the US.

    The writer has a clear bias and a lack of a technical background (writing for Techies.com doesn't count) .

    You don't have to look hard to find devs saving time and learning something with AI coding assistants. There are plenty of them in this thread. This is just an opinion piece by someone who read a single study.

    Never said the study was bullshit. I just said to look at the bigger picture.

    I would show you how Google works and provide an article, but your reading comprehension leads me to believe you'd come up with another straw man fallacy to support your confirmation bias.

    "The only way to interpret statistics is with a healthy dose of skepticism and a thorough understanding of their context."

    While people in this thread jump at the opportunity for this slice of statistics to affirm their confirmation biases, intelligent people will ask what the total carbon dioxide output looks like by comparison.

    By your definition stocks are also a pyramid scheme and everyone knows it. The more people that buy it, the price goes up! Sell? The price crashes! What a revelation!

    What matters more than the genitals in your pants is the amount of money you have. If you have money you can buy politicians, judges, housing, food, weapons, armies, and the list goes on. If you have a dick and no money, you're nothing but a homeless person with no power at all.

    If costs go up because people need more money to earn a living wage, then we should 100% do it. Everyone deserves a living wage.

    America is the richest country in the world. We can afford to pay everyone a livable wage. The problem is that there are some extremely greedy oligarchs that have an addiction to greed, which in turn makes the lives of everyone else more difficult.
