You know I’ve seen this explanation a million times for decades and it’s always just a tiny bit wrong. It’s a small distinction, but actually if the band showed up and found all the brown M&Ms still there the plan would have already bee

I’m pretty fluent in both worlds and they are actually highly equivalent on this one specific point. In both cases it looks perfect and it works right up until it doesn’t, usually for the same reason, entering an unanticipated state.

Because lawyers occupy a quasi-public role in our legal system. They aren’t entirely separate from the system itself. The legal system depends on the enforcement of ethics and responsibility in a way that might be incompatible with a purely

The postal service can deliver anything from a letter up to a decent sized package to anywhere in the country in a couple days at a very reasonable cost. And unlike your nonsensical reference points of the zoo or an orchestra they do in fac

The postal service, obviously, is capable of transmitting messages and packages. If you understand the problem perfectly what’s your solution for a system that accomplishes that in a way that’s not at the whim of some monopolistic corporate

It was a loophole. The country taxes imports of X, the intent is for those who sell X in the US to pay the tax. Standard retailers using distribution have to pay it. But if you put the warehouses outside the US and ship direct you don’t. Th

That’s not correct. Google believes the more people use its search engine the more money it makes from ads. That’s correct. So it monopolizes the distribution platforms for search engines. The easier analogy here is an oil monopolist paying

Of course it’s a cartel. They agree not to compete with each other in online search advertising, one company collects the monopoly profits and then distributes them to the other cartel members. It’s textbook.
