supermarine··on Why it costs so much to be poor in America
And what is the breakdown on that? What's actually costing the banks that much?

Community banks are usually worse than regular banks. Credit unions are better, but large banks (Chase, Wells Fargo, BoA, etc) have (usually) more offerings (credit card + checking + car + mortgage + investing) and are usually a lot more accessible for normal people. Also: big banks advertise.

Not everyone does it for the fame or recognition. Passion is a great motivator.

This must be a joke. Especially the last bit—what's the damn point, otherwise?

supermarine··on Chile’s salmon farms may use more antibiotics than any other meat industry
You missed his point. Of course skiing isn't the only sport, but if you love skiing, why snowboard?

Of course meat isn't the only food, but it's delicious and a great source of protein. Sure antibiotics are bad for the system as a whole, but why not go after that instead of boycotting altogether?
