I struggle to see how you're interpreting this comment on an attack on 5-over-1s. My point is that the type of person who wants to move to Hawaii is prioritizing its climate and beaches more than any urbanism or lack thereof, so opposi

If they don't want outsiders driving demand for local housing, than the should focus their efforts on being hostile to outsiders. Attacking developers that are helping to soak up that demand is just going to make housing even less affo

In the US utilities are subject to profit ceilings, and I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case in Europe. That's one of the reasons to classify something as a utility. By "energy companies", I'm assuming the

My experience with UPS has been similarly poor. For two addresses in different states, whenever UPS sent me a package that required my signature, they simply forge it and mark it as delivered. They don't even bother to ring the doorbel

Buying a home is an asset. It's not something that you directly consume. You can sell it or borrow against it. Something being more expensive due to taxes doesn't affect PPP because that money is being used for government services

Keep in mind Google executive compensation appears to be biannual (his compensation in 2021 was 6M). Overall, his compensation for the past 2 years is less than .05% of Google's revenue during the same period. If the performance of a G

I don't see why people think that antitrust is a magical silver bullet that will solve everything. Breaking up Google will be great for Google's paying customers, mostly advertisers. That doesn't mean it would it would help t

In Europe, it's easier for someone from the 20th percentile of income to break into the 80th percentile of income. The type of social mobility GP seems to be talking about is escaping the "working class" into the modern equiv

If you had real empathy, you would understand how people would be upset that their streets are covered by used needles and feces rather than accuse them of being sociopaths. Anyways, I'm pretty sure GP was being facetious. If using dru

As someone who spends more time than they should grandstanding on the internet, I understand why people do it. What I don't understand is why people are so keen to eat that up, especially when it comes to politicians. Doesn't it b

Substantial fines to domestic businesses create resentment from voters who lose their jobs due to such fines. That's why governments does this to foreign companies (e.g. US fining VW and EU fining big tech). I wonder if there is a way

Monetary policy isn't fiscal policy. Perhaps monetary policy is preventing politicians from facing the consequences of bad fiscal policy, but the alternative is suggesting accelerationism. It's not countries that relied on gold ne

Right. A operating a ship is a terrible analogy to operating a society because it's primarily a technical operation that requires leadership to make split second decisions that everyone follows. Obviously, a Supreme Court is worse than

The premise of this ship analogy seems to be that most people are too idiotic to make large-scale decisions and that the people who agree with OP should be in charge of everything.

My point is that the original argument made is not a kritik because it is still arguing against the policy of minimum wage, which is why it's a stronger argument, even if it wouldn't score you many points in a competition.

The difference is that the lobbyists that the billionaires hire is an expert on policy, and your average broke homeless has never looked at the text of a law. Hell, do you think that any legislator who spends 90% of their time virtue signal

I see your point, but otherwise you'd be punishing people for pursuing essential lines of work. A software engineer at a FAANG gets to enjoy liquidity without scrutiny even if they're just facilitating the sale of ads. Why shouldn

This disdain for lobbyists is ironically giving more corporate lobbyists even more power. Whether you like it or not lobbying is here to stay because that's the only way a handful for generalists in the US can write policy related to t
