Well, I clearly don't align with your preferred endorsed way of thinking. You're free to mentally edit 'scab' to 'strikebreaker' if that helps you out, but I prefer to use the shorter, more recognized term. I&#

Doesn't feel unfair to me. This is a fairly straightforward application of the principles behind the law of restitution and unjust enrichment. Here, an early Ponzi scheme participant was enriched at the expense of a later Ponzi scheme

I think you do yourself a tremendous disservice by ignoring the actual numbers associated with the generational wealth disparity on display here. We aren't talking a small backslide. Who gives a fuck if your fridge can make ice if you

Because that's the only way to solve moral co-ordination problems? If you leave a morally odious contract on the table (lets say it's cutting up human babies for baby veal) knowing your competitors will take the project, enrich th

What...? You get a more functional labour economy by having labour able to access better opportunities. If there's a killer sales agent that won't apply for my sales position because Amazon is dunking him with 14 hour days repeate

I think the all or nothing discussion linked to the word monopoly is what causes most of the issue. Abuse of dominant market position is the most accurate developed term of art to describe what these firms do. But the devil is in the detail

Oh boy - it's that time again. Time for a bunch of people with no competition law or economics background to get upset over the term 'monopoly'.

If I do something bad, like collude to depress the wages of my workers, the existence of alternatives to the service I provide are not exculpatory. Legally, if those bad things are anti-competitive in nature, one of the potential remedies i

The condo fees explode in most new developments between year 2 and 5, often tripling in the city. Additionally, the baseline fee burden is amplified by the practice of developers counting guest suites as sold by pre-selling the suite to the

If they were, you wouldn't spend millions of dollars hiring people like me to play silly word games. Just for some perspective on how dismissive your comment is imagine the following statement being said in reference to your team: &quo

I'd love if that were the reality, but it isn't. A judge will scrutinize a party they believe is acting in bad faith (this is a term of art, but I'm using it in the lay sense here), but you won't show that a party is act

I think the NSL angle to the denials is bullshit - the denials themselves give you all you need. Read the denials carefully. They don't say the attacks haven't happened . They say they haven't found a variety of things. The

Sure. My food cost per day varies between 6 and 12 dollars, on average ending up at 8. I take advantage of end-of-day sales, packaged food discounts, etc. In short, I'm able to time my food purchases so that I eat one to two meals a da
