No, you did not claim that. You said that the reason "society optimize for how easy it is to start a business" is that "new companies create jobs" which leads to the safety net. That implies that making it easier top sta

You make it sound like having ease to start companies leads to a better social security net. Easier to start companies -> more companies -> more taxes -> safety net. Sounds credible in theory, but the reality is that despite it bei

Wouldn't that be moving the goalpost? They are rich now (by their definition, which happens to be mine also). Many people stop being rich. Doesn't mean they weren't so in the first place.

This might just be different customs of language usage. But to me, if you say "This is a subset of That", you are saying "every case of This is also a case of That". I suppose you are using it to mean "That does not

By that argument, libraries and resellers are "stealing". It's only stealing if the person who's being stolen from no longer has something they used to have. Potential things can't be stolen.

"Your home" means the place where you live. It's not the same as "your house", which is a building that you own. Evicting a renter is kicking someone out of their home.

The issue is that you said what bothers you about social media is "the sheer size of the population", but I would say the size of the population is what makes it social media. It's akin to saying I like cars except for the f

People seriously believe being advertised at is "just as much a negative" as the stigma from being a porn actress? I have no appreciation for the advertising industry, but this is hard for me to believe.
