I doubt DC has the gun ownership that chart shows.

Happy Monkey · 07-07-2015, 09:15 PM

Yeah... That's pretty high. I wonder how the statistics math works out if you divide your sample into subgroups, and then provide statistics on them.

4000 may be a decent sample size for the nation, but how many DC residents were in the 4000, and are they a decent sample for DC?

How much happiness can you buy?

Quote:

How much money do you need to make in your state before more money doesn't really make you all that happier? We created a map so you could find out.

Do you think it would take only about $10k for a person in Mississippi to be as "happy" as the people in Nevada ?

I think it would take a lot more than that for all those states
down thru Wyoming ... something more like a moving van

To sum up

Are you upper middle class?

It doesn't get much better than that, huh! The fuck you want to trade your Audi in for a Beemer? Hey, more money more problems, am I right? Here, if you're going in the kitchen, refresh my scotch.

One company's new minimum wage: $70,000 / year

Quote:

The idea began percolating, said Dan Price, the founder of Gravity Payments, after he read an article on happiness. It showed that, for people who earn less than about $70,000, extra money makes a big difference in their lives.

His idea bubbled into reality on Monday afternoon, when Mr. Price surprised his 120-person staff by announcing that he planned over the next three years to raise the salary of even the lowest-paid clerk, customer service representative and salesman to a minimum of $70,000.

What they're saying is folks in Mississippi with $65k are as happy as in Nevada with $75k because of the difference in costs.

I think it's along the lines of where your attitude flips from "it could be worse" to "it could be better". Buying a better car/house is nice, but not as awesome as your first car/house. Diminishing returns, essentially.

I don't understand... the Amazon Prime price for everything is the same, except for AK and HI.

Gravdigr · 07-09-2015, 03:54 PM

Amazon's warehouses are distributed so that all warehouses are the exact same distance from any house in the lower forty-eight.

Or not.

I wonder how NY would look if it were separated into NYC and the rest of the state. Or California into greater Los Angeles, greater San Francisco, and everything else.

Coal isn't going away, and you can't blame it all on China. Many third world countries are increasing coal burning, even if they have to buy it from exporting countries, because it's cheaper.
