This is why you don't need to pay your programmers too much but you do need to pay them enough that they can focus more on their job and not on trivial items. In hindsight, nicely presented lunches, gym (and perhaps babysitting?) on c

The best defense I can think of is to get as many people to engage in this business (buying/selling) and consumption before their stance changes and make it so pervasive (I am thinking hundreds of thousands of people) that they will be

Wow, this is insane. I for one believe that prices should be transparent and secret pacts like these should be broken with (I am not normally fond of this phrase but I will use it here) zero tolerance. If there is a pact, the hospital and t

I am not trying to support your parent comment. However, the current trend in healthcare cost is unsustainable. My roommate (stupidly, in hindsight) went to get an ER after being scratched by a small cat in our parking lot. The total bill w

We actually like to give choices so we don't have to make decisions. Making decisions without seeking like an arrogant asshole is difficult.

Thank you. I guess cash currency isn't really property either. It is backed by the "full faith and credit" of the government so it is like a IOU that the government requires you to accept to settle existing debts.

I don't mean to derail the conversation but I wonder how much would it cost to buy a piece of land outright -- with no future obligations in terms of property taxes. Is this a wild goose chase? There will always be public cost of build
