There is no hiring process that is perfect. Plus, people burn out, organizations shift focus, etc. People who shouldn’t have been hired in the first place make it in, and people whose skills no longer match the job hang on.

I mean, isn’t that always the case though? That lots of people don’t belong there? It’s just the law of large numbers + the ever shifting lives of people.

And this is only true in a markets that are easy to enter. Starting an insurance company isn’t easy. Why are profit margins only 5%? Could be many reasons, including collusion. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers whose job it is to na

This would be true if there were a reasonable amount of market understanding by customers and the friction to switching were low. Neither are the case. Most of the time, it takes a qualifying life event or open enrollment (once a year) to s

People who work at FAANG calibre companies are professionals, perfectly capable of finding new positions that suit their skills and level of commitment. I think it’s infantilizing to take the CEO’s comments and imply that those employees ar

If your question was intended to claim that the Article you quoted gives The Supreme Court ‘the final say on legal interpretation,’ I’m interested to know which words in that Article you believe gives that say.

The Constitution doesn’t say any of that.

I wouldn’t consider those “American values,” except in the sense that those companies are trying to protect their interests by having a platform that appeals to a wide variety of people. Which, come to think of it, is itself a distinct valu

Good point. While the interest rates are “high” now (prime rate is 4.75?) that is actually a regression towards the mean, and definitely not 1970s hyperinflation territory. I wonder though — given that we can’t go to that 15% rate (because

Thanks! I’m trying to round out my understanding. I’m not too big of a fan of textualism/originalism, but it’s a major judicial theory (obviously).

Do you have a source for this? My understanding of the second amendment comes from reading America’s Constitution: A Biography by Akhail Reed Amar. I’m trying to find reference to this meaning you cited, but coming up short. I also don’t fi

When looking at statistics like this, it’s somewhat unhelpful to consider the US one country. Because of the low density of the population + essentially no federal government, the US is really a few different regions with vastly different o
